People of all ages—men‚ women‚ and children—can feel the effects of stress at any time. Stress is simply your body's way of reacting to the events around it. Stressors can range from a meeting with your boss to a fight with your spouse or a family member’s illness.
When you experience stress‚ a signal is sent to your brain telling it to produce a chemical called cortisol. Cortisol‚ in addition to adrenaline (which is also produced by your body when you're stressed) is used to increase your heart rate and blood pressure; the hormones also cause your blood vessels to dilate and your muscles to be on high alert for the need to fight or take flight. While stress is usually a normal and helpful response to life's situations‚ long-term chronic stress can have adverse affects on your overall health. This is because your body continues to produce low levels of cortisol and adrenaline when your body senses an ongoing stressful situation. Eventually‚ this constant production of hormones can leave your body depleted‚ lowering your immunity and leaving you feeling drained.
If you experience stress frequently‚ you may want to consider taking a supplement. Pure Encapsulations’ Cortisol Calm contains the extracts of a number of herbs that can boost your mood and help you sleep better‚ along with vitamin D. Each vegetable capsule provides:
