Cortiguard
An expertly formulated blend of herbs and nutrients that supports balanced cortisol levels designed by Dr. Peter D'Adamo.
Cortiguard is a supplement designed by Dr. Peter D'Adamo to support a healthy cortisol balance, a master regulator of metabolism and stress, especially in Blood Types A and B.
Cortisol is a naturally produced hormone that helps the body respond to stress or other external factors. Without the ability to respond and adapt to these external factors, it would be impossible to maintain a balance of physical, internal, and chemical conditions inside the body.
Dr. Peter D'Adamo:
"Cortisol is actually the 'cortisone' that is made by the body, with all the good and bad characteristics that cortisone is known for. When our brains perceive stress, the pituitary gland is activated, which produces messengers that trigger the adrenal glands to secrete cortisol. Those old naturopaths that said that stress often led to adrenal exhaustion were on to something."
Optimum cortisol levels play an important role in your body:
- It regulates how your body uses carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
- It regulates your blood pressure
- It regulates your sleep/wake cycle
- It boosts energy so you can handle stress and restores balance afterward
Dr. Peter D'Adamo:
"Although low cortisol can produce its own problems, such as Addison's disease, the main lifestyle and environmental effects on the body from such factors as stress and lack of sleep typically result in problems resulting from higher levels of cortisol."
Dr. Peter D'Adamo:
"Anyone can experience elevated cortisol levels due to stress. The trick is to understand how effectively those cortisol levels return to normal after the stress abates. Studies have revealed that cortisol levels rise faster and have a slower elimination phase in Blood Types A and B than in other blood types."
Cortiguard helps to maintain a healthy hormonal response to occasional stress.Cortiguard can support nervous system health and strengthen resistance to the physical effects of occasional stress.
Cortiguard has a unique three-layer design to deliver maximum benefits:
- A base of B vitamins (including thiamine, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid), lipoic acid and vitamin C
- A layer of Panax ginseng root and eleuthero root
- A layer of Ayurvedic herbs (Bacopa leaf and Boerhavia root) that may help to maintain healthy cortisol levels, and Magnolia bark extract, a traditional plant remedy for stress.
