The article discusses the role of cortisol-lowering supplements promoted on social media and explains that they contain ingredients such as ashwagandha, magnesium, and L-theanine. These may have a limited effect on cortisol levels but do not treat pathological elevations of the hormone. The report clarifies that cortisol is a vital hormone produced by the body to regulate blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammation, and stress response, and its levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day. While some ingredients may help reduce stress or cortisol levels under certain conditions, most people do not need to significantly lower this hormone. The report also notes that using these supplements may carry risks and side effects, especially for individuals with certain health conditions like liver, kidney issues, or hypertension, and warns about potential drug interactions. Ultimately, experts recommend consulting a healthcare professional before using these supplements, as evidence of their effectiveness is limited and they may not be necessary for most people.
