When we’re stressed, our adrenal glands secrete the steroid hormone cortisol. Cortisol is part of our body’s stress response, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis sets of reactions that impacts many systems of the body, such as our:
- Metabolism
- Inflammation
- Blood pressure
- Immunity, and
- Brain function
Even when our cortisol levels are low and our adrenals are fatigued, the HPA axis keeps pumping to produce more cortisol, which can contribute to a vicious cycle of fatigue and frequent illness.
BioMatrix Liquorice Root Extract can support the adrenals when cortisol levels are low. Liquorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which blocks an enzyme from converting cortisol into cortisone, which lowers the cortisol reserves you need for health. It supports healthy cortisol levels, balanced mood, immune defence and support from hot flashes.
BioMatrix Liquorice Root Extract contains a potent concentration of glycyrrhizin to help preserve your naturally produced cortisol. It contains:
- Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhizin) – Liquid form of licorice root extract which is highly bioavailable due to its oral and lymphatic absorption. Precision dosing means it will last longer too.
- Glycerin (from Certified Sustainable Palm Oil) – Derived from an environmentally sustainable source of tropical palm oil to act as a base for the active ingredients.
