Why these two products together
Cortisol affects two distinct systems. The Combo addresses both at once.
Elevated cortisol dysregulates your hormones — disrupting estrogen metabolism, driving oxidative stress, and depleting the antioxidants your body needs to function. That’s the hormonal layer. At the same time, it hijacks your energy system — flattening dopamine, draining mental focus, and creating the kind of fatigue that coffee alone can’t fix. That’s the energy layer.
Most products address one or the other. The Cortisol Combo addresses both simultaneously — which is why women who’ve tried everything separately start noticing a difference when they use these two together.
This is where I started. It’s where Sterling recommended I start.
PRODUCT 2
Xcelerate
Powdered Mix-In · 190mg caffeine
Tub (30 servings) or Packets (24 servings)
OTHER XCELERATE FLAVORS AVAILABLE
The Cortisol Combo links to Xcelerate Watermelon Berry — Jordan’s most recommended flavor. Coffee, Lite Coffee, and Tropical Sunrise are also available once you’re in the Beneve store. All flavors contain the same formula.
PRODUCT 1 - HORMONAL LAYER
Glutathione+
“The antioxidant and hormonal foundation. This is the one I evaluate first with any woman concerned about hormonal balance and oxidative stress.” — Sterling Harpst, PharmD
DIM — Diindolylmethane
Derived from cruciferous vegetables. Supports the body’s natural estrogen metabolism — relevant because cortisol and estrogen share overlapping metabolic pathways. When cortisol is chronically elevated, it disrupts how the body processes other hormones. DIM supports that regulatory process.*
Xanthohumol (Hops Flower Extract)
A flavonoid from hops studied for antioxidant properties and supporting a healthy inflammatory response. Chronic cortisol elevation contributes to oxidative stress — Xanthohumol supports the body’s antioxidant defense system.*
Opitac™ L-Glutathione
Pharmaceutical-grade master antioxidant by Mitsubishi Corporation Life Sciences. Production decreases with age, poor sleep, and chronic stress. Designed for bioavailability. Supports detoxification and immune function.*
Polynol™ + Bioperine®
Polynol™ supports AMPK activation — a cellular energy-sensing pathway involved in metabolic regulation.* Bioperine® (black pepper extract) enhances absorption of all other compounds — included because bioavailability matters.
PRODUCT 2 - ENERGY LAYER
Xcelerate Watermelon Berry
“This replaced my morning coffee and my afternoon Alani Nu. Sterling approved it and my energy has never been the same!” — Jordan Harpst, RN
Available Formats
TUB
30 servings · Mix one scoop into 8oz cold water
Single Serve Packets
24 servings · Portable, no measuring needed
Also available in Coffee, Lite Coffee, and Tropical Sunrise — same formula, same results. Select your flavor once you’re in the Beneve store.
Mucuna Pruriens (Seed) Extract
Natural source of L-DOPA — a direct precursor to dopamine. Supports the body’s natural dopamine synthesis pathway.* Relevant for the low motivation and mental fatigue that accompanies chronic stress.
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR)
The acetylated form crosses the blood-brain barrier more effectively than standard L-Carnitine. Supports mitochondrial energy production and mental clarity under fatigue.*
GABA + Panax Ginseng
GABA supports relaxed focus and balances stimulatory compounds in the formula.* Panax Ginseng is an adaptogen studied for cognitive performance and stress resilience.*
L-Theanine + Caffeine Anhydrous (190mg)
One of the most well-studied nootropic pairings. L-Theanine moderates the caffeine response — sustained alertness without jitteriness.* Approximately two cups of coffee per full serving.
Caffeine note
Contains 190mg caffeine per full serving. New users: start at 1/3 to 1/2 scoop and increase gradually. If caffeine is off the table entirely, the Glutathione+ and Gut Advantage are both completely stimulant-free.

REAL RESULTS
What women experience with the Cortisol Combo
“I’ve tried many products to try and help me lose weight but nothing was working. My sleep was broken because I would constantly get up in the middle of the night…I started taking the products daily and I’ve seen my weight drop, my sleep was so much better, I had the energy to do so much. I would tell family and friends that this stuff is amazing!”
“I am 42 years old and I was exhausted all day every day. I would cry about everything. I gained so much weight. I was sick and tired of feeling that same way every day. A month in I started feeling SO much better. 4 months in and I am still consistently losing weight and feeling like a million bucks! No more crying, sleeping all day and puffy face!”
“Both my husband and I struggled daily with my thoughts, and it made it difficult to parent our 4 boys. We lived in a toxic environment. My husband tried the coffee and I tried the watermelon berry. Almost immediately, we both felt incredible! We were smiling, laughing, and getting all of our tasks done. It was a life changing experience.”
WHY TRUST THIS
STERLING HARPST, PHARMD
Beneve Medical Advisory Board · Registered Pharmacist
I reviewed both formulations before Jordan ever tried them. The Glutathione+ addresses the antioxidant and hormonal layer — the cellular foundation. The Xcelerate addresses the energy and cognitive layer. They work through different mechanisms and they complement each other directly. This is the combination I recommended to Jordan first.
Sterling didn't recommend these products because Jordan sells them. Jordan sells them because Sterling reviewed them first and told her they were worth standing behind. That's not a marketing line — that's how this started.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know before you decide
What's the difference between the Cortisol Combo and the Trifecta?
The Cortisol Combo is two products — Glutathione+ and Xcelerate. The Trifecta adds Gut Advantage, which addresses the gut layer. The Combo is a strong starting point. Most women who start here add Gut Advantage within the first month once they see what shifts and what doesn’t. If you want the complete system from day one, the Trifecta is at thecortisolmom.com/trifecta.
Which Xcelerate flavor should I start with?
Watermelon Berry is Jordan’s most recommended starting flavor — it’s the one she uses daily and the one most women in the community start with. Coffee and Lite Coffee are popular for those who want to replace their morning coffee entirely. Tropical Sunrise is a lighter option. All flavors contain nearly the same formula — the choice is purely about taste preference.
Tub or packets — which should I get?
The tub (30 servings) is better value and the most popular choice. The single-serve packets (24 servings) are ideal if you travel frequently or want the convenience of not measuring. Both contain the exact same formula per serving.
How long before I notice something?
Most women report noticing a difference in energy and focus within the first week. Hormonal and metabolic changes typically build over six to eight weeks of consistent use. Individual results vary.*
What if I'm sensitive to caffeine?
Can I take these if I'm pregnant or nursing?
