“Cortisol Cocktails”: What Happened When I Tried One for a Week

🧉What Is a Cortisol Cocktail?
A cortisol cocktail is the latest TikTok trend that claims to “calm your stress hormones” with a mix of orange juice, sea salt, and magnesium. It’s supposed to stabilize blood sugar and balance cortisol, aka your stress hormone. Sounds like sorcery—but delicious.

🧠Does It Actually Work?
There’s some science behind this, mostly from functional medicine circles. The magnesium helps muscle tension, the OJ provides carbs to ease morning cortisol spikes, and salt helps hydration. But let’s be real—this is no medical cure-all.

😅My Experience: A Week of Salty OJ
Day 1: Confused but intrigued.
Day 3: Kinda vibing. Felt less jittery in the mornings.
Day 7: Not magic, but definitely felt a little more grounded.

🧃Drink or Ditch?
If you’re looking for a chill morning ritual, it’s worth a try. Just… maybe skip the viral name and call it “magnesium juice” to keep expectations in check.

✨Bonus tip: If you want the benefits without chugging OJ daily, check out Bunkka Magnesium+ Drops for a cleaner, tastier boost.
