Cortisol Manager

UNABI® Cortisol Balance is for adults living under steady, everyday stress — and carrying it in their body.

When cortisol stays high, it doesn't stay quiet. It shows up as a waistband that keeps tightening, a puffier face in the morning, nights that break at three, cravings by five, and energy that swings between wired and flat. Different complaints, one common driver.

That's why this isn't a sleep aid, a diet or a hormone. It's one stick in a cold glass at the end of the day, built around four actives studied for helping the body handle stress — help cortisol come back down, and the rest tends to follow.

If you've tried melatonin and hated the fog, or can't take anything that knocks you out because you need to be yourself in the morning, this was designed for you. It's not a medication and doesn't replace your doctor's advice.

Four actives, at the doses that were actually studied, in one stick — no caffeine, no melatonin, no added sugar, no artificial colors, no fillers. Just stir into cold water.

They all work on the same lever: helping the body manage stress. That's what makes the difference on sleep, on morning puffiness, on cravings and on the stubborn weight around the middle.

KSM-66® Ashwagandha — 300 mg. Our hero root. A full-spectrum root extract, one of the most studied forms on the market. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, serum cortisol dropped significantly at a dose as low as 250 mg a day. An adaptogen used for centuries, for the kind of everyday stress the body carries without asking you.

L-Theanine — 400 mg. The amino acid found in tea leaves, studied for supporting a calm, settled mind without sedation. It's the reason this relaxes you without making you heavy — and why there's nothing to sleep off in the morning.

Magnesium Bisglycinate — 100 mg. Magnesium bound to glycine: the gentle form, chosen because it's kind to the gut — not the oxide that goes straight through you. Contributes to normal nervous system function and to reducing tiredness. Stress burns through it faster than most people replace it.

Vitamin D3 — 1,000 IU. The one most people living under indoor light run short on. Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and supports normal immune function — the first thing a body under long-running stress lets slip.

"I didn't build this for one bad night. I built it for the years I spent running on stress without calling it that.

I was forty-two. Sleeping badly, waking up puffy, hungry for sugar by five, carrying weight around the middle that no change in my diet explained. My doctor said I was stressed. She was right — and that was the whole point. It wasn't four problems. It was one, showing up in four places.

I grew up in Chodak, a village in the hills of eastern Uzbekistan. Nobody in my grandmother's house went to bed wound up. The evening ended the same way, every night, an hour before sleep — same hour, same ritual, no exceptions. That is what a body needs: a signal that the day is over.

Twenty years behind a pharmacy counter taught me the rest. What those evenings did, four modern actives can support at the right doses: 400 mg of L-theanine, 300 mg of ashwagandha, magnesium bisglycinate and vitamin D3 — measured to the milligram, every stick.

No melatonin. Nothing sedating. It doesn't switch you off. It helps your body come back down — and everything downstream of that gets easier."

No melatonin. No caffeine. No added sugar, no artificial colors, no fillers to pad out the stick.

What's on the label is what's in the stick — 400 mg of L-theanine, 300 mg of ashwagandha, and 100 mg of magnesium as bisglycinate, the form that's gentle on the gut, not the cheap oxide that sends you to the bathroom. At the amounts that were actually studied, measured to the milligram. Not a pinch of each so the name can appear on the panel.

That matters more here than anywhere else: an underdosed adaptogen doesn't do half the job, it does none of it. It's the whole point of this formula, and the reason it costs what it costs — still under a dollar a night.

Every batch is made in a GMP-certified facility and tested for identity, potency, heavy metals and microbials. We produce in small runs, so nothing sits in a warehouse quietly losing strength.

Simple, boring, verifiable. That's the promise.

Tear open one stick and stir it into a tall glass of cold water, or pour it over ice. Raspberry-Lemon. Drink it in the evening, as the day closes.

One stick per glass. No brewing, no waiting, nothing to swallow. One glass, one stir, nothing to wash up.

Make it the last step of your evening, every night, no skipping. Adaptogens work on accumulation, not on a single dose: most people notice the evenings settling first, then the mornings, usually around week two — the deeper changes, on cravings and on the waistline, take the full stretch. That's why the guarantee covers 90 nights. 30 sticks per box, one month per box.

Not for use if pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a thyroid condition, or take thyroid, sedative or blood pressure medication, talk to your doctor before use.
