Integrative Therapeutics Cortisol Manager - Balance Cortisol & Support Relaxation for Restful Sleep* - Includes Ashwagandha & L-Theanine for Confidence with Less Stress* - 30 Tablets

I have been dealing with extreme stress for the last two years. Which is caused mental fatigue, inability to sleep through the night, memory, and inability to focus. I’ve been using this product for almost a month, and I’ve noticed a change in my sleep pattern, less fatigue, and I feel more calm and relaxed throughout the day. I work in an extremely stressful job in the medical field and having the mental clarity and not as irritable as I have been. Would highly recommend.

The Integrative Therapeutics Cortisol Manager has been a great addition to my nighttime routine. I started taking it to help balance stress levels, and I’ve genuinely noticed a difference — I feel more relaxed in the evenings and fall asleep more easily. The blend of ashwagandha and L‑theanine gives a calm, steady feeling without grogginess, and I wake up refreshed instead of sluggish. What I appreciate most is how gentle but effective it is. It supports cortisol balance, helps quiet the mind, and makes winding down at night feel natural again. If you’re looking for something to help manage stress and support more restful sleep, this is a solid choice. This is one supplement that I purchase on repeat, it has truly made a huge difference.

I have had insomnia for decades, and this supplement has helped a ton. My issue has always been falling asleep, and one tablet (or sometimes two) takes the edge off really well and helps me fall asleep. It hasn’t worked perfectly every time, but 90 percent of the time it does, and I’ll definitely take that. My son and dil recommended it because it also helps them a lot with getting calm and alleviating stress. It’s been a game changer for me.

While this product is a bit expensive, it was beneficial in addressing my sleep difficulties.

Was skeptical at first but was recommended by my doctor. I have seen a difference since using this product. Been on it for about a week. I work overnight so my circadian rhythm is all messed up. I don’t feel swollen anymore after I get off from work. I do feel more relaxed/calm. It’s like I feel more leveled and definitely less anxious. I’ve also noticed a decrease in my food cravings. It does make you a bit sleepy so I would encourage taking it before a nap or bedtime which it states that on the bottle anyway. I did see people notate a headache. I generally have headaches due to other things so I do not want to associate the headaches I have been having with the pill, and also there have been days I’ve taken the pill and did not have a headache at all. The pill for me is not as big per the other reviews, but if you have challenges swallowing pills then maybe this is not for you.

I have tried several things to help with my health after menopause. I think this is the first thing that has worked. I feel better and on track to loose 20lbs since I started. I am also eating better and working out so it’s more than just the supplements. But I feel like my sugar cravings are gone and it might really help lower cortisol. Glad I tried it!!

Edit: April 7, 2025 The seller contacted me and offered me a refund due to my experience. They did not ask me to change my rating, they just wanted me to be happy. I chose this brand because they are quality and trusted. This further underlines that, and they’ve gained a customer for life (but for a different product)! I added a star based on this. Again, they did not ask me to change my rating. Wanted to love it… but I had to stop after about 10 days. This supplement seemed like the perfect blend. It did make me sleepy, but weirdly, I slept TERRIBLY. I was sleepy but also wired? After about 5 days I noticed some spotting which was weird. I take progesterone at night for sleep and to help with perimenopause symptoms. I haven’t ever had spotting before- and then after 2-3 days of spotting, it stopped. The thing that make me stop taking the medication was (after 9 ish days of awful sleep and increased anxiety), on day 10, I also had restless legs. It was awful! I’ve never had restless legs before- but as soon as it began, I knew what it was. It was the most unsettling, tingling, strange feeling in my legs. I got up several times, walked, massaged my legs, applied magnesium, rubbed them some more, and finally it eased enough to sleep. I have no idea which ingredient or combo of ingredients affected me… but the rest of the bottle will remain untouched. I was really hoping this would better my sleep and stress, but it definitely did the opposite. Just my experience- yours may not be the same- however, I’d love if anyone experienced the same!

This supplement was recommended to me 6 years ago by a naturopath. I was on a regimen of supplements, whatever weight I had gained was dropping and I was feeling good. Fast forward to 3.5 years of grad school, working at a recording studio that was open all hours of the day and night, with a schedule that shifted weekly if not daily and now having a job with steady hours but having a horrible time sleeping. I reordered these after going through my medicine cabinet and finding the old bottle. I did a saliva test away back when and remember that, at that point in my life, my cortisol levels would spike around 7 PM, which is when I would like I was getting a second wind. This was great for grad school. Not so much now. I’m 4 nights in on this. The first night, I took two capsules due to some lingering stressful events at work. Didn’t quite sleep through the night and felt a little groggy the next morning. By 8 PM the second night, I was already tired and ready for bed. Took one pill, went to sleep at a reasonable time and slept the whole night. Last night, fell asleep around 9:30 and slept soundly until 6:15 AM. This stuff is proving to be a miracle for me. I never thought I was ever going to sleep well without pharmaceuticals again. Lorazepam was the only thing that would work, but I didn’t want to become dependent on it, so I stopped it several years ago. The last two days at work, I’ve had more energy than I’ve had in months, have been focused, productive and simultaneously calm. My anxiety is getting less and less and I’m starting to feel like my old self again. Can’t wait to see what a few months of taking this will do. I even called the boyfriend at work today and told him what I was in the mood to do after work... I haven’t been that relaxed and anxiety free in years. Miracle cure. Seriously. If cortisol is your issue, these will work. Just be cautious of drug interactions and/or allergies. One small note-I do sometimes have a small headache in the morning after these. Hydration and a little caffeine and I’m good to go. Worth it to be able to sleep.
