If your evenings feel busy in the head and you want a calm wind-down without melatonin, this allergen-free formula is a practical fit. It suits adults navigating high-stress periods, shift workers re-anchoring sleep, and anyone who wants the original Cortisol Manager actives in a soy-free, vegan, gluten-free capsule. Per Integrative Therapeutics, this version is free from the top 9 allergens (dairy, egg, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, gluten, peanut, soy, wheat, sesame).
Sensoril® is a standardized ashwagandha extract; in a 2008 placebo-controlled trial referenced by the manufacturer, it significantly reduced serum cortisol versus placebo. L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, supports relaxed alertness by promoting alpha brain-wave activity. Magnolia bark extract (standardized to honokiol and magnolol) adds gentle calming through GABA-related signaling, and Sharp-PS® Green phosphatidylserine, a soy-free phospholipid, contributes to the membrane signaling that helps the body's stress-response system settle.
Per Integrative Therapeutics: take 1 capsule before bedtime, or as recommended by a healthcare professional. Increase to 2 capsules during periods of high stress. For nightly use. Many people notice calmer pre-sleep within the first few nights; broader benefits on stress patterns typically develop over 2 to 8 weeks of daily use.
If you take prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are receiving cancer treatment, talk to your clinician before starting and review the warnings below.
The allergen-free version is free from the top 9 declared allergens, including soy, and uses Sharp-PS® Green soy-free phosphatidylserine. The original tablet uses phosphatidylserine sourced from soybean lecithin. The core ashwagandha + L-theanine + magnolia framework is similar.
Most people do not feel groggy at the recommended dose. If you do, take it 60 to 90 minutes before bed instead of right at bedtime, or step back to other supportive habits like dim light and earlier caffeine cutoff.
Many people notice calmer pre-sleep within the first few nights from L-theanine and magnolia. Broader stress-response benefits from ashwagandha typically develop over 2 to 8 weeks of consistent nightly use.
Per the label, you can increase to 2 capsules during periods of high stress. Stay within the labeled use unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.
