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.*

  • Serotonin pathway

  • GABA receptors
