The Stress & Sleep Reset Bundle

For people who are stressed during the day and wired at night — lying in bed with a racing mind, unable to switch off.

What does this bundle do?

Corti-Help works during the day to reduce stress accumulation and help your nervous system handle pressure without burning out. Circadian Rhythm works at night to help restore your body's natural sleep cycle — so you can fall asleep when you're supposed to, sleep deeply, and wake up feeling genuinely rested. Together, they support your body's natural rhythm from both ends: how you handle the day, and how fully you recover from it.

Why do I need a nighttime product if I already take something for stress during the day?

Because managing stress during the day and restoring your natural sleep cycle at night are two different jobs. Corti-Help helps your body handle the day better. But your sleep cycle has its own rhythm — and for many people under chronic stress, that rhythm has been disrupted. Circadian Rhythm is specifically designed to help restore it: so your body knows when it's time to sleep, cycles through sleep properly, and wakes you up feeling genuinely recovered. It's not a sedative. It works with your body's natural rhythm rather than overriding it.

I've tried melatonin. It doesn't work for me. Is this just melatonin?

Not at all. Most melatonin products try to force sleep by using high doses — 3mg, 5mg, even 10mg. Circadian Rhythm only uses 0.5mg, because the goal isn't to override your body's sleep signal. It's to restore it. Your body has its own natural sleep cycle — a built-in rhythm that tells it when to wind down, when to sleep deeply, and when to wake up. For many people, that rhythm has been disrupted. Circadian Rhythm is designed to help bring it back — so that sleep starts to feel natural again rather than something you have to force. That's why customers describe it as feeling like returning to real sleep, not being knocked out.

Will I feel groggy the next morning?

That's one of the most common complaints about other sleep products — and it's exactly what Circadian Rhythm was designed to avoid. Because it doesn't rely on sedating ingredients or high-dose melatonin, you shouldn't wake up feeling heavy or foggy. The goal is that you wake up clear and actually recovered, not dragged out of an artificially induced sleep.

How quickly will the sleep product work?

Many people feel noticeably calmer in bed from the first night — a quieter mind, less tension, and an easier time falling asleep. Deeper sleep improvements and fewer nighttime wake-ups tend to build over the first 1–2 weeks. The real shift — where your natural sleep cycle starts to feel consistent and self-sustaining, even on stressful nights — typically develops over 3–6 weeks of regular use. This is because restoring a disrupted circadian rhythm isn't an overnight fix. It's a gradual recalibration. Many people find that after a few weeks of consistent use, sleep starts to feel like something their body does naturally again — rather than something they have to work at."

Can I take Circadian Rhythm every night?

Yes, it's formulated for regular use. The ingredients don't cause tolerance or dependency, and there are no sedating agents that your system will adapt to and require more of over time. It's designed to be part of a nightly routine, not just an emergency use when you can't sleep.

Can I take these with my existing supplements or sleep medications?

If you're currently taking prescription sleep medication or any other supplements that affect your nervous system, check with your doctor before adding these. Both products are made with generally well-tolerated ingredients, but we always recommend verifying with your healthcare provider if you're on any prescriptions.

Why does Circadian Rhythm use phosphatidylserine rather than ashwagandha to reduce nighttime cortisol?

Ashwagandha is excellent for building long-term stress resilience — which is exactly why it's in Corti-Help for daytime use. But restoring a disrupted sleep cycle at night requires a different kind of support. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is specifically studied for nighttime use and works more precisely in that window — helping create the conditions your body needs to transition into its natural sleep cycle without the heaviness or next-morning flatness that higher-dose adaptogens can sometimes cause.

Is Circadian Rhythm habit-forming?

No. Circadian Rhythm is designed to support your body's own natural sleep rhythm rather than replace it. The 0.5mg melatonin dose is specifically chosen to work with your body's natural melatonin production rather than disrupt it — so your sleep cycle becomes more self-sustaining over time, not more reliant on a supplement.

When should I take Corti-Help?
Take 2 capsules daily at one of these times:

• Lunch (with or shortly after lunch)
• Early Afternoon (1-3pm)
  

Best practice: Choose the timing that works best for your stress patterns and schedule. Lunch timing provides steady stress support through the afternoon. Early afternoon works well if you experience stress buildup later in the day or need help transitioning from work mode.


Should I take it with or without food?
Either way works. Corti-Help can be taken with or without food based on your preference.


How often should I take it?
Daily, for consistent results. Corti-Help is designed for long-term, daily use—not just during particularly stressful periods.


Can I take it if I drink coffee?
Yes! Many users find Corti-Help works especially well with their coffee habit. The L-Theanine (400mg) helps smooth out caffeine's jittery effects while maintaining focus and alertness.

When should I take Circadian Rhythm
Take 2 capsules 30–60 minutes before bed. This timing allows the formula to begin calming your nervous system and quieting racing thoughts as you transition into sleep.


How many times per day?
Once per day, in the evening before bed. Circadian Rhythm is specifically formulated as a nighttime sleep support formula, not for daytime use.


Should I take it with food?
Circadian Rhythm can be taken with or without food, based on your preference. The formula is designed to work effectively either way.

Bonus tip: For best sleep quality, avoid eating or drinking water 2-3 hours before bed. This helps prevent disruptions from digestion or nighttime bathroom trips, allowing for deeper, more restorative sleep.


Can I take it every night?
Yes. Circadian Rhythm is designed for regular use or as needed when you're having trouble sleeping. It's non-sedative, non-dependency forming, and appropriate for long-term use. Many users take it consistently to support better sleep patterns, especially during stressful periods when sleep is more difficult.

When should I take Metabolic Balance?
Take 2 capsules 20-30 minutes before your hardest eating window. Most people take them before lunch and/or mid-afternoon (3-4pm). For best results, use regularly during periods when appetite control and portion management matter most.

Key principle: Don't take it "anytime." Take it strategically before the windows when you typically struggle most with appetite control.


How many times per day?
Metabolic Balance can be taken 1-2 times daily, depending on your needs.

BONUS TIP:

Take your first 2 capsules 20-30 minutes before lunch—when food noise peaks and cravings feel hardest to resist. Metabolic Balance helps support your body's natural "stop eating" signal, so portions feel easier to manage, and you feel satisfied sooner.

For best results, take another 2 capsules before your second hardest eating window:

• If evening overeating is your challenge: 20-30 minutes before dinner
• If afternoon snacking is what gets you: around 3-4pm instead
  

Should I take it with food?
No—take it 20-30 minutes BEFORE eating for best results. This allows the satiety-supporting ingredients to be active when you start your meal.


Can I take it every day?
Yes. Metabolic Balance is designed for daily, long-term use. It's non-stimulant, non-sedating, and doesn't rely on harsh appetite suppression.
