THREE FAILED
BOTTLES.
ONE THAT WORKS.

Because visceral belly fat makes its own cortisol — and your training plan doesn't account for it. Research at NIH and PubMed (PMC2645022, PMC3523536) shows the 11β-HSD1 enzyme in abdominal fat cells reactivates cortisone into local cortisol, and that abdominal fat carries up to four times more cortisol receptors than fat anywhere else on your body. So even when your calories, protein, lifts, and sleep are dialed in, a hormonal feedback loop is keeping the belly in fat-storage mode. You're not failing at the diet. The diet has a variable it can't measure.

A standard lab panel doesn't measure cortisol rhythm — it measures one point in time, usually morning, usually in a range so wide a perimenopausal woman with significant 3 AM cortisol surges still reads "normal." The 11β-HSD1 mechanism (visceral fat producing its own cortisol locally) doesn't appear on bloodwork at all. Mary Claire Haver, Stacy Sims, and Sara Gottfried have all flagged this gap publicly. Your labs being "normal" and your belly not moving are not contradictions. They're the same data point telling you the test isn't measuring the right variable.

Four clinical actives — every milligram on the label, no proprietary blends, dosed to the published trials. Shoden® Ashwagandha (120mg) down-regulates the HPA axis and lowers circulating cortisol at the source. Magnesium glycinate (200mg) restores GABA signaling so your nervous system can downshift overnight. L-theanine (200mg) produces alpha-wave calm without sedation. Magnolia bark (100mg) locks down evening cortisol via honokiol. Print this list. Cross-check it against your other bottles. We have nothing to hide.

The cortisol signal interrupts within nights — that's what L-theanine and magnesium do fast, sublingually. The visceral fat response is slower because fat cells are slow to remodel. Most women see waistband loosening at weeks 3–5, with measurable visual change in the belly area at weeks 6–10 once the cortisol-driven storage signal has been off long enough for the deficit you've already been running to actually pull from the abdomen. The training you've been doing didn't stop working. It was being canceled out. Once the signal is off, the work starts compounding again.

Regula is a plant-based formula made of ingredients with long safety histories. Always run it past your prescribing physician before starting — particularly if you're on SSRIs, sedatives, blood pressure medication, or thyroid medication. Most women on HRT find Regula complementary, not redundant, because cortisol regulation operates on a different pathway than estrogen replacement. Your doctor will recognize every ingredient on the label — because every ingredient is on the label.

Regula is a PM-only formula taken 30 minutes before bed. It improves recovery sleep without sedating you, so your morning training session is unaffected — actually, most lifters report stronger lifts within 2–3 weeks because deep sleep is when your body actually rebuilds muscle and clears cortisol. Stacy Sims has been clear on this for years: in perimenopause, recovery is the bottleneck, not the workout. We're targeting the bottleneck.

Capsules take 45–90 minutes to digest, and 30–40% of the active dose is lost to first-pass liver metabolism before it ever reaches your bloodstream. Sublingual drops absorb directly under the tongue in under 60 seconds — bypassing the gut and the liver entirely. For a cortisol-regulating formula, the format is the difference between hitting the bedtime window when your body actually needs the signal and showing up an hour late. The molecules in most cortisol capsules are right. The delivery is wrong.

No. No auto-ship and we never will. Buy a bottle — that's it. No fine-print subscription trap. No surprise charge 30 days from now. No fight with a chatbot or a "retention specialist" to cancel. If you want another bottle, you order one. The supplement industry has trained you to expect a trap. We refuse to be one.

You get every cent back. 90-day money-back guarantee. Empty bottle is fine. No return label, no questionnaire, no fight. Email us, we refund you. The formulation takes 4–8 weeks to fully interrupt the cortisol signal and the visceral fat response trails behind that — so a 30-day refund window on a 90-day mechanism is a logic gap we won't leave open. The risk is on us. Match it to the science, not to the industry shortcut.
