CORE-Well Adrenal
- Non-returnable
Core-Well Adrenal
- Clinical Education Handout
- Purpose: Stress regulation, cortisol balance, nervous system support, and resilience to physical and emotional stress
- Clinical Rationale
Chronic stress disrupts the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to cortisol imbalance, fatigue, mood changes, poor sleep, and impaired resilience. Core-Well Adrenal is designed to support healthy stress adaptation by modulating cortisol response, calming the nervous system, and protecting against stress-induced physiologic damage.
This formula combines adaptogens, calming botanicals, and amino acid support to address both mental and physical stress pathways.
Key Ingredients & Clinical Reasoning
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Clinical role:
-
Adaptogen that helps normalize cortisol levels
-
Supports HPA axis regulation
-
Improves stress resilience and anxiety symptoms
Why it is included:
Ashwagandha has strong evidence for reducing stress-related cortisol elevation and improving symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, and poor sleep. It supports long-term stress adaptation rather than short-term stimulation.Clinical pearls:
-
Helpful for patients with chronic stress, burnout, or insomnia
-
May improve sleep quality and daytime energy balance
L-Theanine
Clinical role:
-
Promotes alpha brain wave activity
-
Calms the nervous system without sedation
-
Supports focus and relaxation
Why it is included:
L-Theanine reduces sympathetic nervous system overactivity while maintaining alertness. It is particularly helpful for stress-related anxiety, racing thoughts, and sleep-onset difficulty.Clinical pearls:
