This carefully balanced formula provides comprehensive support, helping your body manage stress, re-energize, and improve overall well-being.

How stress affects us in everyday life

In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly exposed to stimuli and pressures that make it hard to unwind. These ongoing stressful situations keep our bodies from effectively lowering cortisol, the stress hormone produced in the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is crucial in preparing the body for "fight or flight" during stressful moments. However, when stress is prolonged, cortisol levels can remain elevated, which can have lasting negative effects on both physical and mental health.

The effects of chronically elevated cortisol are widespread, including:

Cardiovascular disease: Prolonged stress can increase blood pressure, raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Hormonal disorders: In women, stress can disrupt the menstrual cycle, sometimes leading to missed periods.
Digestive problems: Stress can aggravate digestive issues such as stomach pain, irritable bowel syndrome, or other disorders.
Mental health: Long-term stress heightens the risk of developing mental health conditions like depression and anxiety.

Chronic stress impacts not only the nervous system and hormonal balance but also significantly influences inflammation in the body. Prolonged stress activates the immune system, promoting the release of inflammatory messengers that can lead to long-term inflammation, which is associated with a variety of diseases.

With Women's Best Cortisol Balance Capsules , you receive a premium product formulated to provide the best support through a powerful synergy of ingredients. This innovative formula is designed to strengthen your inner well-being over time and promote your overall health.

How do I take it?

Take 1-3 capsules daily with dinner with enough liquid.

Global stress level is at 40%.

According to the Gallup State of the Global Emotions 2023 report, 147,000 adults across 142 countries participated in the survey. The interviews, conducted either over the phone or in person, involved randomly selected respondents who were questioned about five different negative experiences they had encountered the day before the survey. Four out of ten adults reported either worrying a lot (41%) or experiencing stress (40%).

Negative impacts of stress.

When it comes to everyday stresses or emotional challenges, we tend to hope that our stress levels will normalize during a vacation. However, when stress becomes persistent, it places us in a challenging situation, and relieving this stress can be difficult. Prolonged stress, primarily in the form of the hormone cortisol, can exert detrimental effects on both our health and appearance. These repercussions can manifest in various ways, from disruptions in the monthly cycle or missed periods to skin issues like acne and blemishes, and even more severe conditions such as depression.

Better mood with Affron^®.

Affron^®, a patented saffron extract, has demonstrated positive effects on mood and sleep in several clinical studies. Research indicates that Affron^® influences the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine due to its high concentrations of crocin and safranal—two bioactive compounds essential for regulating mood and emotional well-being. A 2017 study found that Affron^® can significantly enhance mood and reduce stress, frustration and tension within just four weeks, all without any side effects.
