Question 1

What makes this formula unique?

Accepted Answer

Active Peptides Cortisol Support† combines clinically backed yeast peptides, L-theanine, and a trio of ancient adaptogenic extracts (organic ashwagandha root, magnolia bark, and sustainably sourced rhodiola rosea) to target stress at its root. Unlike typical supplements, this formula works on multiple pathways: it helps balance cortisol, curb stress-driven cravings, support mood, enhance mental performance, and boost resilience to daily stress. Each ingredient is carefully selected: L-theanine is a patented, research-backed form shown to promote relaxation without drowsiness; ashwagandha root is backed by multiple clinical studies and decades of research; magnolia bark is standardized for active compounds (2% honokiol); and rhodiola rosea is from wild and sustainably farmed plants. Rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science, this targeted formula is made up of key ingredients designed to help your body feel calmer and better able to manage the visible and physical effects of stress.

Question 2

What ingredients are in this formula?

Accepted Answer

Yeast-Derived Peptides Yeast-derived peptides act as bioactive signaling messengers in the body, helping regulate appetite, curb cravings, and support weight management. These highly absorbable peptides work at the cellular level to support healthy appetite control and help reduce total daily food consumption, giving your body the tools it needs to optimize weight management safely and effectively. Cortisol Botanical Blend This is an adaptogenic botanical blend of organic ashwagandha root extract, magnolia bark extract, and sustainably sourced rhodiola rosea extract. Ashwagandha helps the body adapt to stress while supporting mood, focus, and resilience. Our organic ashwagandha root extract is backed by double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized studies of 50+ participants. It’s clinically shown to significantly reduce stress and ease tension, as well as improve sleep quality, reduce stress-related eating and enhance cognitive performance (including memory, focus, and processing speed) within weeks; it also supports healthy cortisol balance and stress recovery. Magnolia bark has been traditionally used for decades, and rhodiola rosea, known as “the golden root,” has been traditionally used as well. Our rhodiola rosea ingredient is wild harvested from cultivated rhodiola rosea plants in the remote Altai mountains, which are tested to ensure that the molecular composition matches the wild grown. This formula brings together key ingredients to help increase your resistance to stress, ease tension, increase focus and promote positivity.

Question 3

What are peptides and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Peptides are short chains of amino acids – typically fewer than 40 – that act as signaling molecules in the body. Think of them as tiny messengers that tell your cells what to do and when to do it. The human body produces over 300,000 different peptides, each with a specific role in regulating biological processes like metabolism, appetite, normal cellular repair, and other metabolic functions. Unlike larger proteins that need to be broken down through digestion, peptides are small enough to be absorbed, so they can act efficiently. Naturally occurring in foods like collagen, milk, and eggs, they can also be isolated and formulated into supplements to target specific functions – like we’ve created with the Active Peptides line.

Question 4

What makes this formula “Powered by Peptides”?

Accepted Answer

Active Peptides Cortisol Support† is “Powered by Peptides” because some of its key benefits come from bioactive peptides – like the yeast peptides in this formula, which are backed by a clinical study. This key ingredient acts as a highly targeted messenger in the body, helping regulate hunger and curb sugar cravings. Unlike larger proteins or generic supplements, these bioactive peptides are small enough to be absorbed, allowing them to work efficiently at the cellular level. They target specific biological processes (in this case, appetite regulation and weight management). By harnessing the precision of peptides, this formula delivers a next-generation approach with a clinically backed key ingredient for healthy weight management that works with your body.

Question 5

How is this product different from Multi Collagen Advanced Lean† or Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend?

Accepted Answer

Active Peptides Cortisol Support† is a blend of bioactive yeast-derived peptides, organic ashwagandha root extract, magnolia bark extract, rhodiola rosea extract and L-theanine that is primarily focused on balanced cortisol and helping your body respond to stress. Since one of the common effects of stress is craving sugar and snacking, it’s designed to target weight management, using clinically backed peptides and plant extracts to help regulate appetite and curb cravings. Multi Collagen Advanced Lean† is primarily a collagen supplement – it provides 10 types and 15 grams of collagen per serving, plus a superfood blend with clinically studied ingredients designed to help support your fat loss goals. The ingredients are slightly different depending on whether you choose the powder or the capsule form of the product – make sure to check out the individual product pages for more information. Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend is a delicious way to get 23 grams of high-quality protein from grass-fed whey protein concentrate and organic regenerative A2/A2 milk protein concentrate. It also has a superfood blend with clinically studied organic ceylon cinnamon and organic ashwagandha root extract to help support fat loss. In short: if you want targeted cortisol support, choose Active Peptides Cortisol. If you’re looking for protein or collagen-based support with added fat-loss benefits, Multi Collagen Advanced Lean† or Whey Protein + Fat Loss†* Blend are the better fit. Or, if you choose, you can safely take Active Peptides Cortisol† in combination with either of our other weight management products.

Question 7

Are peptides synthetic?

Accepted Answer

The peptides in Active Peptides Metabolism† are derived from yeast and other food-based sources. These bioactive peptides are tiny chains of amino acids – the same building blocks already found in foods and in your body. What makes them powerful is that they act as signaling messengers, sending targeted instructions to help regulate appetite and support weight management.

Question 8

How soon will I notice results?

Accepted Answer

Many people notice subtle benefits within the first few hours, such as feeling calmer. Over several weeks, clinical research on ingredients like L-theanine and ashwagandha showed improvements in focus, mood, stress resilience, and cognitive function. The peptides and ashwagandha help regulate stress and appetite, supporting reduced stress-driven cravings and driving healthier cortisol balance over time. But of course, everyone is different and will see results on their own timeline. Consistent daily use allows the formula to work best, helping your body manage stress more effectively and reducing the visible and physical effects of cortisol.
