Cortitrol is intended for adults who need help in modulating healthy levels of cortisol. Cortitrol is for adults who are frequently confronted with stressful situations throughout the day, getting less than 8 hours of sleep every night, generally feel run down, lack mental focus, and are performing at sub-optimal levels and who are limiting caloric intake to lose weight.

As a dietary supplement, take two (2) bags daily; take one (1) bag with your morning and evening meals.

It is impossible to claim the percentage of absorption or bioavailability for our products because absorption or bioavailability differs with every individual and with every nutrient. Determinants of absorption and bioavailability include age, medications used, daily diet, genetics, intestinal environment, and nutritional status. However, we carefully select all of our ingredients to provide maximum bioavailability based on the most recent research.

First, most multivitamins do not provide the right types and amounts of carotenoids. LifePak? contains a full 15 mg of the most important dietary carotenoids that are found in healthy diets with 5 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables, as recommended by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Second, even if you get the right types and amounts of carotenoids, you still need all the other nutrients to support your carotenoid defence system in optimal ways.

LifePak with catechins provides 90 mg of catechins, which is nutritionally significant. This level is the equivalent dose of four cups of traditionally brewed green tea.

You can never have enough antioxidants in your body and LifePak and Tegreen 97 provides antioxidants in the form of catechins.

The key active ingredients found in Cortitrol include Magnolia Bark (Magnolia officinalis), Epimedium (Epimedium brevicornum), L-Theanine, and Phosphatidylserine. Theanine increases the production of brain alpha waves, which is an index of relaxation. Magnolia Bark, Epimedium and Phosphatidylserine have direct effects on your cortisol levels.

The ingredients in Cortitrol address various aspects of controlling cortisol. Cortitrol combines natural ingredients that have been shown to have direct cortisol-balancing effects. Cortitrol helps provide enhanced feelings of well-being and control and helps improve performance and increase vigor throughout the day by the calming effects of magnolia bark and the relaxation effects of theanine.

The ingredients in Cortitrol have been shown separately to either help the body modulate healthy levels of cortisol or cope with stress.

Taking Cortitrol may help restore their normal cortisol rhythm. Epimedium is the ingredient that helps with this.

We do not have any data on the use of Cortitrol in hyperthyroid conditions or the medicine tapazole. Our research and experience has involved healthy adults in non-disease states. Cortisol is one of many hormones that affect homeostasis in the human body; therefore, the effect of cortisol and other hormones will have some effect on thyroid hormone. However, we are unsure exactly what this effect would be.

There are many factors that can affect you carotenoid score, including genetics, diet, carotenoid supplements, medications, smoking, sun exposure and your environment. Of particular importance in this case is the person's genetic ability to absorb carotenoids. This does not mean the person is not able to absorb them at all, they just do not absorb them as efficiently.
