DHEA, phosphatidylserine, and St. John's Wort are some major heavy hitters in reducing cortisol.
DHEA acts in a reverse manner to a lot of cortisols effects, and both secreted by the adrenals. The DHEA/cortisol ratio is an important health marker.
Phosphatidylserine has probably the
best efficacy in reducing cortisol levels of all the available supplements on the market.St. John's Wort induces the enzyme CYP3A4 which is responsible for metabolizing cortisol which may be one of it's proposed effects on reducing depression.
