Looks like licorice does the same as grapefruit (raises cortisol). I think I'll steer clear of grapefruit though as I think I already have estrogen issues. Are you sure it's not the sugar that's helping? Would OJ do the same, and give extra Mag and C? Does cinnamon drop cortisol or blood sugar, or both?At first only a few ounces bc of how low my cortisol is. I should clarify for everyone that mine is very lose to zero. Now I just sip on it throughout the day sometimes mixed into other drink which is around 16-20 ounces (about 8am-4pm for 16 oz, the last four around 4-6pm. That's enough for me to function and do desk work etc but still not much physical activity.
When I had cinnamon at Thanksgiving i had a bad time with a cortisol drop but a quick drink of a few ounces got me back to normal. So I'd start slow bc you an always drink more if you do try it.
@Peater Pan adrenal cortex would probably work better than what I'm recommending if I had to make guess. The grapefruit would give you an indicator of how useful it would be, or could be tried in he meantime. So whichever decision you make I hope my input is still helpful.
