Product Description

WHAT IS CORTISOL CONTROL ?

Hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause, or a stressful and demanding life, can throw your cortisol - your body’s primary stress hormone - out of balance.

The result? Sleepless nights, midday burnout, regular cravings, and stubborn changes in where your body holds fat.

Vivana Cortisol Control helps you reset. Powered by eight complementary active ingredients, carefully selected by Vivana Labs experts, including Ashwagandha KSM-66 and Phosphatidylserine, it helps regulate your stress response, support metabolic health, and make winding down at the end of the day feel effortless again.
Benefits

Shift Out of Alert Mode.
When stress lingers longer than it should, your system stays on standby. CORTISOL CONTROL supports a balanced stress response and nervous-system steadiness, helping your body ease out of prolonged alert signalling. Because survival mode isn’t meant to be permanent.

Calm the Edge.
When pressure turns into irritability or low-level anxiety, you don’t need to feel dulled, you need control. CORTISOL CONTROL supports relaxed focus and emotional balance, helping you respond deliberately instead of reacting automatically.

Unwind. Without Sedation.
Evening calm shouldn’t mean knocking yourself out. CORTISOL CONTROL supports your natural relaxation pathways, helping your system shift from stimulation to steadiness. Wind down naturally. This is functional calm, not forced sleep.

Stay Sharp. Stay Steady.
Stress can cloud your thinking before you even notice. CORTISOL CONTROL supports cognitive performance and resilience under pressure, promoting a focused calm. Because clarity should hold up, even when your day doesn’t.

Wake Up Like You Actually Slept.
When your system never fully powers down, sleep stays shallow and mornings feel heavy. CORTISOL CONTROL supports deeper, more restorative rest, so you wake up feeling like the night actually did its job.

Have a say on how belly fat shows up during menopause .

Stress does not stop at mood or sleep. In midlife, prolonged cortisol signalling can interact with glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity and the body’s tendency to store fat around the abdomen. That is why stress support matters beyond feeling calmer.
Ingredients
  • Ashwagandha Extract (KSM-66®) - Clinically studied adaptogen that helps manage everyday stress demands.
  • Phosphatidylserine - Supports mental performance when stress makes everything feel louder.
  • Holy Basil Extract (ursolic acid) - Traditionally used to support balance and resilience during stress.
  • L-Theanine - Promotes calm, clear focus without dullness or sedation.
  • Glycine - Amino Acid that helps support the nervous system and unwind.
  • Schisandra Extract - Adaptogenic support for resilience during high-demand periods.
  • Taurine - Amino acid that supports calm nervous system signalling and balance.
  • GABA - Supports relaxation pathways without pushing sedation or grogginess.
Why It Works

1. Stress Is a System. So Is the Formula.

Stress involves more than cortisol alone. The body's response includes hormonal signalling, nervous-system activity and changes in how alert or relaxed we feel throughout the day. CORTISOL CONTROL brings together eight complementary active ingredients, including Ashwagandha KSM-66®, phosphatidylserine, L-theanine and holy basil, in a formula developed around these interconnected aspects of stress.

Not one ingredient expected to do everything. A considered approach to the wider stress response.

2. Ashwagandha KSM-66® and Phosphatidylserine at Its Core.

CORTISOL CONTROL combines Ashwagandha KSM-66®, a clinically studied root extract, with phosphatidylserine, a phospholipid naturally present in cell membranes. Ashwagandha has been investigated in human studies examining perceived stress, cortisol and sleep-related outcomes. Phosphatidylserine has also been studied in relation to the body's response to demanding conditions. They form part of the scientific rationale behind the formula, alongside six other carefully selected ingredients.

3. Calm Shouldn't Come at the Expense of Clarity.

When life is demanding, you don't necessarily want to switch off. You want to feel less overwhelmed while remaining present, focused and capable. L-theanine, taurine and GABA were selected as part of the formula's approach to the balance between nervous-system activity and relaxation. Together with the other ingredients, they give CORTISOL CONTROL a broader formulation rationale than simply promoting drowsiness. The goal is functional calm, not sedation.

4. Your Evening Starts Before You Go to Bed.

A restless night often begins with a day that never seems to end. Feeling mentally switched on late into the evening can make it harder to settle into a consistent bedtime routine. CORTISOL CONTROL combines glycine, L-theanine, GABA and ashwagandha in a formula designed around evening wind-down and relaxation. Glycine and L-theanine have been investigated in human research on sleep-related outcomes, while ashwagandha has been studied in relation to stress and sleep. Rather than relying on a single sleep-focused ingredient, Vivana Labs selected a combination that reflects the relationship between daytime pressure and the ability to unwind at night. Because a better evening isn't just about the moment your head reaches the pillow.

5. The Midlife Waistline Connection.

During perimenopause and menopause, changes in oestrogen, sleep and stress physiology can coincide with changes in abdominal fat distribution. Cortisol is part of that wider biological picture. Prolonged stress signalling can interact with glucose regulation, appetite and metabolic processes, although it is not the sole explanation for midlife weight changes. This is why Vivana Labs considered the broader stress response when developing CORTISOL CONTROL, rather than treating stress as only a question of mood.

6. Eight Ingredients. One Daily Routine.

Ashwagandha KSM-66®, phosphatidylserine, L-theanine, holy basil, glycine, schisandra, taurine and GABA. Each ingredient was selected for its place in a broader formulation, rather than added simply to make the label longer. Eight complementary actives. One considered approach to stress, evening wind-down and the changing demands of midlife.

Our Standards

We build formulas with intention, data, and zero tolerance for BS. Here is how we ensure every VIVANA product works with your physiology.

CLINICAL DOSING & FORMULATIONS


  • Doses That Actually Do Something: We select ingredients based on clinical evidence and physiological logic. We use full, clinical precursor loads; no micro-doses or “fairy dust”.
  • High Bioavailability: We only use forms of nutrients that your body can easily absorb and utilize. For example, our Magnesium Pro features a 5-form complex (including MagTein®) for maximum absorption, and our Collagen Pro uses bioavailable amino acids and co-factors rather than generic, underdosed blends.

PRODUCTION & TECH

  • Smart Delivery Systems: We use advanced delivery technology where it matters most, such as the delayed-release mechanism in our Gut Harmony probiotics, ensuring live strains (like LGG and S. boulardii) reach your gut intact.
  • Clean & Premium Ingredients: Our products are crafted with premium grade ingredients and are certified Non-GMO and Gluten-Free. Many of our formulas are also Vegan.
  • No Fillers or Window Dressing: You will never find filler ingredients or trendy but ineffective additives in our solutions.

SUSTAINABILITY & SOURCING

  • Responsible Sourcing: We prioritize clean, sustainable sourcing to protect both your body and the environment. For example, our Omega-3 is sourced exclusively from small, sustainable fish. This provides a clean, highly purified extract with quantified EPA and DHA while avoiding the heavy-metal worries often associated with generic fish oils.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERTISE

  • Pharmacist-Founded: VIVANA was created by Anne-Gaëlle, a pharmacist with over 20 years of clinical experience at the intersection of science, aesthetics, and functional wellness.
  • Evidence-Based Systems: Our standard is rooted in rigorous, evidence-based medicine and systemic physiological support. We don't chase trends; we build functional systems designed to support your body's resilience, clarity, and vitality.
90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

Our formulas need consistent use to show results.

"By 9pm my body was done. My brain was throwing a TED talk. Cortisol Control hasn't switched my brain off, because nothing does. It just feels quieter in there. I read books in the evening again. I'd forgotten that was a thing."

Emma, 45 - Cardiff

"I needed evening calm without feeling drugged. This is the first thing I've tried that sits between herbal-tea-and-vibes and 'go see your GP'. Properly thought-through ingredients. That's the bit I trust."

Hannah, 50 - Leeds

"Perimenopause turned my evenings into chaos. Hot. Wired. Running through tomorrow's to-do list while sat on the sofa. Cortisol Control feels like my evenings belong to me again. Not every night. But more often than they did."

Priya, 47, London

"I was sceptical. I'd written off the whole adaptogen thing as Instagram nonsense. Then I read the formulation. Then I read who made it. I'm now the person recommending it at a dinner party, which is a sentence I never expected to type."

Sarah, 49 Manchester

"I'm not the wind-down type. I work, then I work in my head, then I lie there annoyed at myself for working in my head. Cortisol Control is the first thing that's helped me close the loop. Doesn't knock you out. Just helps you actually stop."

Dan, 51, Birmingham

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know, answered simply.
What does Cortisol Control help with, specifically in the evening?

CORTISOL CONTROL is designed for the “tired but wired” evening state.
It supports a smoother transition from high-alert daytime mode into night-time wind-down. When your body feels physically exhausted but your mind refuses to power down, this formula supports a more natural descent into rest.
It’s not about forcing sleep. It’s about helping your system shift gears.
Who is Cortisol Control best for?

CORTISOL CONTROL is for people who:

  • Feel alert late at night despite being tired
  • Experience racing thoughts at bedtime
  • Notice stress lingering into the evening
  • Wake up feeling like their nervous system never fully settled

If your evenings feel overstimulated rather than calm, this is your formula.
How do I take it?

Take the recommended dose in the evening, approximately 30–60 minutes before bed, with water.
Consistency supports pattern change. Your body responds best when rhythm is predictable.
Can I take it every night, or only on stressful days?

You can take it nightly.
CORTISOL CONTROL works best as part of a consistent evening rhythm, especially if your system tends to stay “on” by default. Some people use it daily; others use it during higher-stress periods.
Listen to your pattern. Then stay consistent.
Will it make me groggy the next morning?

CORTISOL CONTROL is designed to support relaxation, not sedation.
It does not aim to “knock you out.” Most people do not report morning grogginess when taken as directed. The goal is a calmer descent into sleep, not forced unconsciousness.
If you feel unusually heavy the next morning, review your timing and dose, and consider taking it slightly earlier in the evening.
Can I take it with Magnesium Pro?

Yes, and many people do.
Magnesium supports normal nervous system function and psychological balance. Taken together in the evening, they can complement each other:

  • Magnesium supports foundational calm
  • CORTISOL CONTROL supports the stress-to-rest transition

Same direction. Different mechanisms.
Can I take it with Balance+?

Yes.
A common Vivana rhythm looks like this:

  • BALANCE+ in the morning → daytime emotional steadiness
  • CORTISOL CONTROL in the evening → night-time wind-down

One supports your day. The other supports your descent into rest.
System logic. Not random stacking.
Can I take it if I’m on HRT?

Yes.
CORTISOL CONTROL is nutritional support. HRT is medical therapy. They serve different roles.
Many people use CORTISOL CONTROL alongside HRT to support evening calm. If you’re under medical supervision, simply inform your clinician about any supplements you’re taking.
Can I take it if I’m already using sleep aids or calming supplements?

If you are already using prescription sleep medication or multiple calming supplements, consult your healthcare provider before combining them.
Layering too many “calm” products isn’t always better. Intelligent pairing is.
Are there medications I should be cautious about combining with Cortisol Control?

If you are taking:

  • Prescription sleep medications
  • Anti-anxiety medication
  • Antidepressants
  • Hormone therapy
  • Any medication affecting the nervous system

Consult your healthcare professional before adding this supplement.
Responsible supplementation means informed decisions.
Does Cortisol Control contain allergens?

CORTISOL CONTROL lists soya as an allergen.
If you have a soy allergy or sensitivity, this product is not suitable for you.
If you are unsure about your sensitivity level, consult your healthcare provider before use.
What’s the difference between relaxation and sedation here?

Relaxation means your nervous system shifts toward calm.
Sedation means you are chemically suppressed.
CORTISOL CONTROL is formulated to support relaxation: helping the body move out of high-alert mode, without forcing unconsciousness.
You should still feel like you. Just less wired.
How long should I give it before judging results?

Some people notice a shift within the first week. For others, the effect becomes clearer after 2–4 weeks of consistent evening use.
The goal is pattern change, not a dramatic one-night difference.
Evaluate after a few weeks, not one evening.
Can I take it earlier in the day if my stress peaks in the afternoon?

CORTISOL CONTROL is formulated primarily for evening use. It is not an emergency solution. It’s here to build resilience, throughout the day, especially when combined with Balance+. 
So whatever is happening during the day, your body becomes more prepared to cope with it.
If your stress peaks mid-afternoon, focus first on daytime foundations like:

  • Morning Balance+
  • Adequate magnesium
  • Nutritional stability

If you’re unsure about timing adjustments, consult your healthcare provider before moving it earlier in the day.

En préménopause, j'ai eu l'occasion de tester différents compléments alimentaires.
Mais la belle découverte associé au magnésium c'est le Cortisol Control. Après plus de 2 mois d'utilisation régulière, j'ai constaté deux bénéfices concrets : le stress et ça aide le métabolisme.
Je le recommande sans hésiter à toutes les femmes traversant cette période.
