Vital Nutrients, a leading practitioner-founded nutritional supplement company, has released new research highlighting the potential benefits of Cortisol Balance, a plant-based dietary supplement formulated to support healthy energy, stress response and recovery.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the supplement Cortisol Balance in 499 healthy adults seeking support for anxiety and stress. Over six weeks, participants received either Cortisol Balance or a placebo. The supplement contains clinically effective levels of ashwagandha, B vitamins, magnesium, boswellia, vegan omega-3, eleuthero extract and copaiba extract.
Findings showed the supplement led to significant improvements in feelings of anxiety, perceived stress, sleep disturbance and mood, compared to a placebo, among participants who reported moderate levels of anxiety. In this group, up to 85% of respondents reported improvement in both the level and frequency of anxiety and stress.
“This study provides important evidence that a comprehensive, systems-based approach to stress management can help people better adapt to the pressures of daily life,” said John P. Troup, PhD, chief science and innovation officer of Blueroot Health, the parent company of Vital Nutrients. “By supporting cortisol balance and healthy adrenal function, we can help the body manage stress where it starts, not just mask the symptoms, and improve overall well-being without relying on single-ingredient solutions.”
Unlike supplements that draw on isolated ingredient data, Cortisol Balance was evaluated as a finished formula in a large and diverse US population, a notable advancement in supplement research design. Troup says the product’s blend of adaptogenic herbs and nutrients works synergistically to help the body recover, reset and rebalance after stress.
