Stress, sleep, cognitive function, digestive health, mood and metabolic health all have cortisol in common. Known as the stress hormone, cortisol helps manage energy by mobilizing glucose and modulating inflammation. Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which may contribute to weight gain, hypertension, a weakened immune system, sleep disturbances, mood changes and more.
Consumers are increasingly aware of the relationship between chronic or dysregulated cortisol levels and their impact on health. This is evidenced by the significant rise in Google and TikTok searches for "cortisol-lowering supplements," which increased by 250% in 2024. The search for “what supplements lower cortisol?” also increased by 200%.
Recent studies by TriNutra® have demonstrated that its premium USP-grade black seed oil, ThymoQuin®, can improve cortisol levels within four weeks of supplementation.
