This may be the first review I've ever written that pertains to a supplement and/or product. I periodically suffer from extreme adrenal fatigue that renders me unable to move or think throughout the day but wakes me up at night - right around the time that I'm preparing to go to sleep. The end result is a vicious cycle of exhaustion, restlessness, grogginess, brain fog, and fluctuating body temperatures (cold throughout the day - hot at night) that have honestly hindered the overall quality of my life. In my specific case, a lot of these issues are rooted in insomnia, which I've suffered from for 15 years. This product helps you break this cycle. I usually take a full dropper first thing in the morning, roughly 30 minutes before my morning consumption of caffeine (green tea, yerba mate etc). While I'm no doctor, it seems to help you produce cortisol in the morning as opposed to in the evening, which is extremely disruptive. (There seems to be a growing body of literature indicating the efficacy of liquorice root in this capacity, even if it's somewhat anecdotal and/or contested). That said, the effects seem to wear off within about a week, so I would strongly recommend taking this for a few days in conjunction with mindfulness, a reduction in stimulants, and any other tactics that can help you lower stress levels to induce sleep and relaxation. Warning --> this may cause weight gain, at least in the form of water retention. Sometimes, when you have adrenal fatigue, an increase in water weight can be a good thing, as adrenal fatigue is linked to a reduction in your ability to stay hydrated and retain adequate ratios of sodium and potassium. Again, this review is based on my own experience and the reading I've done online regarding adrenal fatigue and liquorice root. This is not medical advice. Give this supplement a try - it may work for you. My personal advice, however, is to take time off of caffeine consumption when you've hit a wall owing to extreme adrenal fatigue. I like to utilize long weekends to do an improvised stimulant detox. I've also found that spending time outside, particularly at parks or beaches, helps augment this process. If you can soak in some sun - or if you have the financial means to go on a resort vacation for a week - this helps amplify your results. I can't stress this enough.
