Seriphos seems to protect the brain from high levels of cortisol due to anxiety and stress. However, this form does not have the other phospholipids. To get those naturally, you can take an inositol supplement (inositol helps your body build those phospholipids needed for neurotransmitter health). This combo of Seriphos and inositol has been a lifesaver to me, allowing me to say goodbye to depression and anxiety during a very stressful time in my life.
This product really does cut the automatic response to stressful situations. I have only been using for about 10 days, but I seem to handle stress more easily and actually feel tired at 10pm instead of wired. At first the product gave me insomnia for about 3 days until I switched to using it in the morning. I wish there was more accurate info available for dosing and duration. I have read of people using many capsules a day and also others who have been using for long periods of time. I personally have been using one capsule daily (so far) and plan on using for a max of 60 days. I guess each person is unique.
I've had high cortisol at night for years with insomnia. Took melatonin, ativan and sleeping pills which only partially worked. the first night I took seriphos, I slept like a baby and have been taking it for the past 2 weeks and continue to sleep well. I take this version as it isn't made from soy. I have thyroid problems and need to stay away from soy. I highly recommend this product.
I've been taking Seriphos on the advice of my doctor for over a year to help with nighttime waking. It definitely does the trick! I can tell the difference when I skip more than a night. I take two capsules most nights, occasionally three if I'm under a lot of stress. I sleep more soundly, wake up less, and if I do wake up I'm able to get back to sleep more quickly.
I have been taking Seriphos for two months to help with adrenal fatigue. It is indeed helping me sleep, although it seems to make me more tired during the day. My doctor recommended this product, as many of her patients swear by Seriphos. I take 1-2 capsules before bed, but many people take three.
I've had an extreme fatigue for about two years, wasn't able to do simple tasks around the house. Doctor did a lot of tests, and couldn't tell me what is wrong. After only a half of a dose fatigue was gone. Worked for me.
Works as needed. If I feeling run down I start taking & Within a couple days I am back to normal. Started using for High nighttime cortisol.
My husband and I take this before bed and we sleep much deeper. I don't have night wakings anymore, and am more relaxed during the day.
I love this product. Better price than straight phosphatidyl serine and works wonderfully to reduce my cortisol lvel at night so I sleep well. If I miss taking it, I can tell the difference.
