My LLND recommended me to take 200 mg of phosphatidyl serine AM & PM to help with elevated cortisol levels. I know some people use a product called Cortisol Manager which also has the serine in it along with other herbs. Just wondering what people on here use for elevated cortisol, thanks!

phosphatidyl serine is an excellent suggestion.

TULSI (Holy Basic) is also very nice.

Detail in the adrenal articles and books:

I use Adapten-all at noon and 4pm, when my cortisol is high.

Taking zinc can lower your cortisol production. In one study, taking zinc reduced cortisol levels by 59%.

Magnesium is another mineral that can lower cortisol

Even fish oil has also been shown to lower cortisol

There are also other minerals and vitamins that can potentially lower cortisol levels.

Now on the flip side to having high cortisol there is low cortisol aka "adrenal fatigue".

I wonder how many people that have adrenal fatigue/low cortisol production take supplements that can actually lower their cortisol levels even further?

Thanks for the suggestions!

emla999/Lyme, I already take a ton of zinc, magnesium, and fish oil. Thanks for posting all of those links, though. I'll have to look into other minerals/supplements that may help.
