Ashwagandha and Rhodiola modulate cortisol. I like 2 caps of ashwagandha before bed, it reduces dry mouth during the night and helps me sleep. Some of the B vitamins (B5/12).

Of course, liquorice! Can’t believe that one slipped through my mind. Do you think it would be better as a capsule or as a tea?@golder rehmannia glutinosa
licorice is not rehmannia though. licorice works by the mineralcorticoid system. but rehmannia works at the brain feedback system on cortisol I believe. licorice may be anti-androgenic at higher dosages and mimics the renin-aldosterone system resulting in sodium and water retention, hypokalemia and hypertensionOf course, liquorice!

Functionally choline in its oxidised form (the metabolite glycine betaine) contributes to S-adenosylmethionine synthesis – a chief methyl donor involved in DNA and histone methylation which play a central role in regulating gene expression and potentially modulating brain function.9 10 Choline also influences liver function, with shortfalls linked to defective lipoprotein metabolism, abnormal phospholipid synthesis and oxidative damage.11
Low oestrogen status (oestrogen catalyses phosphatidylcholine conversion to choline via the phosphatidylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase; PEMT enzyme) and genotype (eg, polymorphisms in the PEMT gene) can both alter choline dietary requirements.12 For the latter, a growing body of evidence exists suggesting that choline requirements may depend on the presence of several genotypes and that individuals with these could well have choline requirements higher than current recommended intakes.13 14
