    Hi  – sure, there are many different formulas that have calming adaptogens but a few notes of caution. Please make sure that cortisol is in fact elevated. Someone can feel stressed, but actually have low cortisol. In this case, adaptogenic herbs to lower cortisol would make you feel worse.

    Second, if there is truly high cortisol levels, the best remedy is “to slow down/do less/take an extended sabbatical/vacation”. Easier said than done, I know. But no supplement will compare to what lifestyle changes can do.

    But to answer your question, here are a few of my go-to supplements to lower high cortisol:

    -Cortisol Manager
    -Phosphatidyl serine (I usually recommend this one at night for those with aggressive early morning cortisol awakening response)
    -Cortisol Calm
    -Xymogen Cortisolv (not available in Fullscript)
    -Gaia Herbs Adrenal Health

    Hope this helps.
