Cortisol, commonly known as the body’s primary stress hormone, plays a critical role in the body.
However, when cortisol (and/or other glucocorticoid) levels become chronically elevated, it can lead to adverse effects, including the breakdown of muscle tissue, fat gain, and insulin resistance.
Researchers have highlighted Emodin as a unique compound that directly inhibits the formation of cortisol at the enzymatic level, setting it apart from conventional adaptogens.
Literature suggests that the way Emodin does this is via the selective inhibition of the 11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme.
