There are several hormones regarding stress besides cortisol, such as adrenalin, noradrenaline, catecholamine, etc. Why is Pharmanex focusing on cortisol and not the others?
A. Cortisol is the primary stress hormone. When we experience stress, cortisol is the stress hormone that stays around the longest. When we experience repeated or chronic stress, levels of other stress hormones (which are much shorter-acting) do not remain elevated the way cortisol does. This elevated cortisol level is what leads to many of the chronic diseases of aging.
