How Does KSM-66 Reduce Stress?
Your stress response works like this:
1. Brain perceives stress → signals hypothalamus
2. Hypothalamus → signals pituitary gland
3. Pituitary → signals adrenal glands
4. Adrenals release cortisol
Chronic stress = constantly elevated cortisol.
Elevated cortisol = brain fog, poor sleep, burnout.
KSM-66 helps modulate this cycle at the hormonal level.
KSM-66 also supports GABA activity, serotonin pathways, and healthy inflammatory response.*
