You watch what you eat, you exercise regularly - and yet the scale doesn't budge. Or worse, you gain weight despite your efforts, particularly around your stomach. If stress has been part of your daily life for some time, there's a good chance your cortisol is to blame. And in that case, treating the metabolism alone without addressing cortisol means tackling only half the problem.
How chronic stress blocks weight loss
When cortisol remains elevated over the long term, the body enters an energy-survival mode. It slows down certain non-essential functions, burns fewer calories at rest and promotes fat storage - particularly around the abdomen, where fat cells have more cortisol receptors.
At the same time, cortisol disrupts blood sugar and insulin regulation, which promotes sugar cravings and snacking. It also affects leptin, the satiety hormone. The result: you're hungrier, you store more fat, and your metabolism slows down. It's a vicious cycle that can't be broken simply by eating less.
Why treat both together?
This is precisely why Epycure developed the Metabolism & Cortisol Duo: a combination of two treatments designed to act simultaneously on both mechanisms involved.
Acting on the metabolism without rebalancing cortisol is like pushing an engine that's still in safe mode. Acting on cortisol without supporting the metabolism is like releasing the brake without accelerating. Together, that's when the difference becomes visible.
What each product in the duo contains
The Cortisol Balance Treatment contains:
- Ashwagandha KSM-66® (250 mg): the most extensively studied patented extract on the market. It has adaptogenic properties and helps the body cope with stress. A key clinical study showed a significant decrease in blood cortisol after 8 weeks, at the same dose used in the formula.
- Magnesium bisglycinate (56.25 mg): a highly absorbable form that contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and helps reduce fatigue. Essential during periods of prolonged stress.
- L-tryptophan, vitamins B5, B6, B9, B12: to support serotonin synthesis, emotional balance and nervous system function.
The Metabolism Boost contains:
- Morosil® (400 mg): patented extract of Moro blood orange juice (Sicily), rich in anthocyanins. Clinically evaluated in 60 volunteers over 12 weeks, it showed: -7 cm in waist circumference, -6 cm in hip circumference, -3 kg on average.
- Kola nut: kola helps burn fat and thus contributes to weight control.
- Choline: contributes to lipid metabolism and the maintenance of normal liver function.
- Chromium: contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels, limiting the storage of excess sugar as fat.
The Epycure synergy: two treatments, comprehensive action
Lab'Epycure confirms the effectiveness of the Metabolism Boost alone: up to -6.5 cm in waist circumference, -7 cm in hip circumference and -7 kg. (20 people tested over 3 months.)
By combining cortisol regulation with metabolism activation, the duo directly targets people for whom stress is the factor blocking their weight loss. It's a smarter approach than a simple fat burner because it addresses the root cause.
The Metabolism & Cortisol Duo is available from €44.20/month. Made in France, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and GMO-free. Epycure is B Corp certified, with in-house formulation by the R&D team, clinical dosages and patented active ingredients.
Directions: take 2 capsules of Cortisol Balance Treatment in the evening (at the end of the day) and 1 chewable tablet of Metabolism Boost in the morning or at lunchtime (before 3 p.m., as it contains caffeine). Follow the treatment for 3 months for lasting results.
