WHAT EVENING DOES

ENGINEERED FOR YOUR DEEPEST RECOVERY

FLUSHES CORTISOL

Ashwagandha KSM-66 is the most clinically studied adaptogen for cortisol reduction. 23–30% reduction in multiple RCTs.

DEEPENS SLEEP

Magnesium Glycinate supports GABA activity and relaxes the nervous system. Fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer.

NO MELATONIN

Zero exogenous hormones. Your body's sleep architecture stays intact. No dependency, no morning grogginess.

MUSCLE RECOVERY

Magnesium supports overnight muscle repair and reduces next-day tension. Wake up physically ready.

STRESS RESET

While you sleep, Ashwagandha helps reset your HPA axis. Tomorrow's stress response starts from a lower baseline.

WAKE UP CLEAR

No sedatives, no antihistamines, no hangover. Just deep sleep and a clear morning.

WHAT TO EXPECT

YOUR FIRST 30 NIGHTS ON DESCENT

NIGHTS 1–3

FEEL THE CALM

Magnesium Glycinate relaxes the nervous system within 30–60 minutes. You'll notice less mental chatter at bedtime.

NIGHTS 4–10

SLEEP DEEPENS

Consistent magnesium intake improves sleep architecture. Less waking at 2–3am. More time in deep/REM stages.

NIGHTS 11–21

CORTISOL BASELINE DROPS

Ashwagandha needs 2–3 weeks to meaningfully lower baseline cortisol. This is where the compounding begins — days start feeling less reactive.

NIGHTS 22–30

THE NEW NORMAL

Your stress-recovery loop is functioning. Nights rebuild what days demand. Pair with CORTEX APEX in the morning to close the full system.

FULL INGREDIENT PROFILE

THE COMPOUNDS. THE EVIDENCE.

No proprietary blends. No filler. Every compound at its clinically effective dose.

KSM-66 is the most clinically studied form of Ashwagandha. Multiple randomised controlled trials show 23–30% reductions in cortisol over 60–90 days, alongside improvements in sleep quality and stress resilience.

Magnesium Glycinate is the most bioavailable and gentle form of magnesium. It supports GABA activity, relaxes the nervous system within 30–60 minutes, and is far less likely to cause digestive upset than cheaper oxide or citrate forms.

L-Theanine promotes alpha brain wave activity, the same state associated with relaxed alertness. It quiets mental chatter without the grogginess of sedatives, making it ideal for a wind-down routine.

THE 24-HOUR PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

CORTISOL DOESN'T CLOCK OFF AT 6PM. NEITHER SHOULD YOUR PROTOCOL.

APEX handles the day. DESCENT handles the night. Together, they form a closed-loop system — lowering cortisol in the morning, flushing it at night, and rebuilding your stress resilience while you sleep.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Melatonin is a hormone, not a supplement. Exogenous melatonin suppresses your body's natural production over time, creating dependency. CORTEX DESCENT uses magnesium glycinate and ashwagandha to support your body's own sleep architecture — without overriding it. You wake up clear, not groggy.

The magnesium pairing works from night one. Ashwagandha's cortisol-lowering effect compounds over 2–3 weeks of consistent use. Give it 30 nights before judging the full system.

Yes. If you don't notice a difference within 30 days, email us for a full refund. No questions, no hoops. We built this for men who demand results — if it doesn't deliver, you don't pay.

Vegetable cellulose capsule (vegan). No magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide, no rice flour fillers. The capsule contains the active compounds and nothing else.

Each product works independently. APEX handles daytime cognition, DESCENT handles nighttime recovery. But they're designed as a system — cortisol management is a 24-hour problem, not a morning-only problem. The bundle saves $19/month.

CORTEX contains well-researched compounds with strong safety profiles. However, if you're on SSRIs, blood thinners, or other prescription medications, consult your doctor before starting any new supplement protocol.
