Supplements for Low Cortisol

Perhaps the most beneficial supplements in treating low cortisol are known as ‘adaptogens’. There are nearly 50 plant derived adaptogens, and as their name implies, they assist the stress response system in ‘adapting’ to stress. Commonly used adaptogens include Ginseng (Siberian, Korean, and Panax), Rhodiola, Ashwaganda, Bacopa, Holy Basil, and Licorice root.

Over 2000 years ago, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine began using adaptogens to promote physiological resistance to stress, fatigue, trauma, and anxiety. Medical research on adaptogens began in the 1940’s. Rhodiola and Siberian Ginseng have been studied most extensively. Research has found that adaptogens improve mental concentration, productivity, and stamina under conditions of stress and aid in promoting resistance to the harmful effects of stress.
