Seriphos is my favorite nutrient for lowering high nighttime cortisol in order to reduce night waking and nighttime anxiety. I’ve used it with success in the past and have just needed it again:
After coming back from Hawaii (I was there for just under 2 weeks), I was still waking a few times each night. Sometimes I would be awake for 2-3 hours! I’m a hot mess when I don’t get sleep through the night. With just 1 Seriphos before bed for 9 days I was sleeping through the night again. It was glorious!
High cortisol can be a temporary issue after international travel i.e. caused by jetlag and out of balance circadian rhythm. I will admit that I have a number of confounding factors – like my loss and grief (my darling mom has just passed away), being sprayed with insecticide on landing in Australia (which I suspect caused severe vertigo the day after I got back), and high blood pressure (and likely higher cortisol too) after drinking too much licorice tea for my voice loss. Whatever the causes of my high cortisol, Seriphos really helped me sleep through the night.
I ran out of Seriphos 2 nights ago and I was awake for 3 hours last night. I’ll be adding it back to my nighttime protocol as soon as my order arrives.
Seriphos is made by Interplexus and is a phosphorylated serine product. It is similar to the more recognized phosphatidylserine which is also used and known for lowering high cortisol – clinically and in the research. However, clinically, I have found Seriphos to be more effective and work more quickly.
UPDATE Feb 2024: I did end up tweaking my Seriphos dose a few times. After a few weeks I decided to trial 2 per night – this worked well. Then a few weeks later I trialed 3 per night – but after a few days I realized that even though it worked well for sleep it made me too tired the next day. For this reason I went back down to 2 Seriphos at bedtime.
Seriphos for high cortisol due to trauma, loss of beloved cat and more
When I posted this on Facebook, I had a number of folks share how Seriphos has also helped them.
Kathy shared this: “I take two Seriphos at night for high cortisol that causes insomnia. It works well for me and helps me to relax. I have a significant trauma background that keeps me in fight or flight, so Seriphos is a must have at night. I do take a break from time to time if I am going through a less stressful time.”
Hopefully Kathy is also working on the trauma, doing trauma work and even incorporating other nutritional approaches which help so much with recovery – like zinc, vitamin D, a B complex, GABA and tryptophan etc. Taking a break from time to time is a good plan – I share more about this below.
Kim shared this: “Seriphos is a life saver – I started it when I was having cortisol/adrenaline issues a few years ago and have continued using it. I don’t ever want to be without Seriphos. A little over a month ago I unexpectedly lost my youngest cat. She was emaciated when I rescued her over 4 years ago and we turned around health issues. I feel so sad that she was dealt such a bad hand but we got her a loving home. My animals are everything to me and the grief is so difficult. She was a character and I love her so much.”
She uses one capsule in the evening but also uses a capsule during the day if she feels off. Hopefully Kim is also doing trauma work and other nutritional support too.
Janie shared this: “I have used it, years ago when my cortisol was off the charts, morning and at night. I was awake every night until 2am, unable to sleep. Seriphos certainly helped.”
She used 1 Seriphos per day for about 3 months.
Patricia said: “Please remember that there is Original Seriphos and the next gen Seriphos. I was one of thousands of people who had used original Seriphos for sleep and then they changed their formulation without telling us and then so very many of us were wide awake at night until we realized that they had changed the formulation.”
This happened in 2016/2017 and I blogged about that whole fiasco here – Seriphos Original Formula is back: the best product for anxiety and insomnia caused by high cortisol. You can read many other success stories on the blog and in the comments.
Address the causes of your high cortisol: jetlag, grief, toxins, licorice intake
As you can see from my example there can be a number of causes of high cortisol and you always want to address these causes while using Seriphos so you can eventually stop using it:
- International travel i.e. caused by jetlag and out of balance circadian rhythm. I’m home so this is no longer a contributing issue.
- Loss and grief can have physiological effects and high cortisol is one of many effects: “It appears that cortisol remains elevated for at least the first 6 months of bereavement. For some, cortisol elevation may become chronic”. The loss of my darling mom is going to take time but I am making time for grieving and I’m nurturing myself. As I navigate this period in my life I’ll continue to share what has helped me. I suspect I may need Seriphos for longer than the usual 3 months.
- Being sprayed with insecticide on landing in Australia (which I suspect caused severe vertigo the day after I got back). It’s well-recognized that environmental toxins are hormone disruptors and affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and cortisol. I’m addressing this with active detoxification and my portable infrared sauna.
- High blood pressure and likely higher cortisol too after drinking too much licorice tea for my voice loss. I have stopped the licorice consumption and my blood pressure is back to normal.
Other possible causes of high cortisol include day to day stresses, food sensitivities such as gluten, high sugar consumption, parasites and so on. Each factor needs to be addressed.
I do recommend Salivary cortisol testing before using Seriphos
Salivary cortisol testing is something I do with all my clients anyway. And I do recommend salivary cortisol testing before using Seriphos and the other cortisol-lowering nutrients mentioned below.
I will admit that I didn’t follow my own recommendation because I’ve had high nighttime cortisol in the past and recognized the symptoms. I had also identified all the above root causes and I desperately needed to sleep. I now have an adrenal saliva test kit on hand and will report back when I get the results.
Seriphos will only work for waking in the night if cortisol is high
One woman shared “I have never slept through the night in years. It would be delightful to get to the morning without waking.” Seriphos will very likely help if her cortisol is high.
Keep in mind there are many causes of not being able to sleep through the night and Seriphos will not help if cortisol is not high. Other root causes for insomnia/waking in the night (and nighttime anxiety) we consider and investigate are:
- Low GABA and low serotonin (I always start with these while waiting for salivary cortisol results to come back),
- Low melatonin
- Gluten and other food sensitivities
- Caffeine and sugar intake
- Oxalate issues and/or toxins exposure affecting bile production (this affected my sleep last year but my poop is nice and brown which is a clue my bile production is good)
- EMFs
- parasites (which may increase cortisol) and other gut issues like IBS/SIBO etc.
A few folks reported they had tried Seriphos without success and it may well be that they don’t have high cortisol. Or they would possibly benefit from another approach to lower their cortisol (more on this below).
What are my options if I have high cortisol at night and Seriphos has the opposite effect?
One person said it had the opposite reaction. Joanne shared this: “Seriphos had the opposite effect on me. [One Seriphos] gave me extreme anxiety, kept me awake all night. Saliva tested consistently high cortisol at night so it should have helped. Been trying to work out why it would and how it might inform how I treat my insomnia.”
I’ve had a few clients do better with less than the recommended 3 per day and one not being able to use it at all. I suspect an allergic reaction or that it’s just too high a dose for some folks. The capsule could be opened and less could be used.
If this doesn’t work, other options for lowering high cortisol include lactium/hydrolyzed casein, Relora® (which contains Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense), essential oils such as bergamot and some herbal adaptogens. You can also read about some phosphatidylserine products I looked into when the Seriphos product was changed.
Forest bathing also helps to lower high cortisol levels and I recommend it for everyone.
Where does using Seriphos fit into everything else that I’m doing to address my insomnia and/or anxiety?
I typically don’t start with Seriphos right away with clients unless we know cortisol is high. As mentioned above I always start with assessing for low GABA and low serotonin and we do trials of the respective amino acids based on the symptoms questionnaire.
I also assess for low blood sugar and dietary factors like gluten, caffeine, sugar, quality animal protein intake etc. as covered in my book “The Antianxiety Food Solution.” More about my book here. It does include a chapter on the amino acids and how to use them too.
Then we start to dig deeper and would consider Seriphos or lactium for anxiety caused by high night time or even high morning cortisol or high cortisol at other times of the day.
With many folks all of the above often applies. And we continue with assessing for each of the 60+ nutritional and biochemical root causes of anxiety/waking in the night.
Where do I purchase Seriphos and how much do I use? What about taking a break?
You can purchase Seriphos from my online store (Fullscript – only available to USA customers – use this link to set up an account) and you can also find it on iherb (use this link to save 5%).
The bottle states to use 1 capsule with water 15 minutes before a meal. Clinically, using 1-3 capsules a few hours before the high cortisol seems to be most effective. For 2-4am waking this typically means taking Seriphos right before bed. In some instances, taking 1 on waking in the night can help too (for a maximum of 3).
With high cortisol in the night and on waking, I have clients use Seriphos before bed and lactium on waking.
It is recommended to take a one-month break after 3 months of Seriphos use. Ideally, once the root causes of high cortisol are addressed, you should be able to stop anyway. Or take a break, retest cortisol and then continue.
I’ll share some research and how Seriphos differs from phosphatidylserine in a follow-up blog if there is enough interest.
I appreciate all the feedback from these women in my community.
Have you used Seriphos (a phosphorylated serine product) to help with high cortisol and waking in the night/nighttime anxiety caused by any of the?
What do you suspect the cause(s) of your high cortisol is or was? And have you confirmed high cortisol with a saliva cortisol test?
Have any of the other products mentioned above helped to reduce high cortisol? If yes, have you compared them with Seriphos?
Let me know if you’re interested in a follow-up blog that includes some research and how Seriphos differs from phosphatidylserine.
Feel free to share and ask your questions below.
Gerald says
Yes, I am interested in the research of how Seriphos differs from phosphatidylserine. Thank you
Trudy Scott says
Gerald
Thanks – stay tuned for part 2 (the research and how Seriphos differs from phosphatidylserine).
I’m curious if you’ve ever used either with success and if yes how it helped?
Jes says
Hi am a flight attendant and have a schedule that keeps me up all night working International trips also trips with very early (2am 3 am wake up calls)? So yes my circadian rhythms are off!
Do you think Seriphos could be a good protocol instead of melatonin or with melatonin ?
Trudy Scott says
Jes
I’m assuming you’re looking for support for sleep during your downtime i.e. when you are not flying. I would consider Seriphos in addition to melatonin especially if sleep is challenging, there is fatigue when working during night shift and self-medicating is happening with caffeine (when working) and/or alcohol (when trying to get to sleep).
I’m sure you’re aware of the health risks of shift work in your industry – this paper, Health Risks and Potential Predictors of Fatigue and Sleepiness in Airline Cabin Crew https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7792809/ covers the fatigue and self-medicating aspects. It also mentions a higher incidence of depression which phosphatidylserine can help alleviate (more on that research here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4508628/).
This is the bare minimum when it comes to nutritional support for flight attendants.
Nancy Gordon says
Please tell me which Saliva cortisol test you like the best that gives the most complete data
Trudy Scott says
Nancy
I’ve used the ASI (adrenal stress index test) from Diagnostechs (USA) for many many years. It’s typically a 4 point collection i.e. on waking, noon, 4pm and 8-10pm and you can see the if it trends high in the night. A 5th collection in the night can be useful too. It also measures insulin, DHEA/DHEA-S, secretory IgA, 17-OH progesterone, and wheat gluten sIgA.
In Australia, Nutripath offers a similar saliva test.
I’m curious if you’ve ever used Seriphos or phosphatidylserine with success and if yes how it helped?
Mary Sue says
Yes, I am interested in the research of how Seriphos differs from phosphatidylserine, and what company you use for cortisol testing. Do you do a cortisol check in the middle of the night also so it is a 4 or 5 points in time checking the cortisol?
Love you site and all the information you share.

Sami says
I don’t have night time waking with high cortisol,however I have horrendous anxiety on waking, literally on opening my eyes and if it’s high cortisol would seriphos be good to trial,?
Also living in Australia,if I buy the kit from I herb,do I then need to send away for results and is so where.Many thanks
Trudy Scott says

I typically don’t start with Seriphos right away with clients unless we know cortisol is high. As mentioned in the blog I start with assessing for low GABA and low serotonin and we do trials of the respective amino acids based on symptoms https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/amino-acids-mood-questionnaire-from-the-antianxiety-food-solution/.

Then we start to dig deeper and would consider Seriphos or lactium for anxiety caused by high morning cortisol. With many folks all of the above could apply. I’ve updated the blog so this is clearer.
The at home adrenal saliva test in Australia is from Nutripath and needs to be ordered from a practitioner, saliva collected and the samples mailed back to Nutripath.
Mary Sue Abernethy says
Hi Trudy,
Yes I have used Seriphos for many years off and on, it is THE ONLY thing that takes my nightime cortisol down and lets me sleep without waking up feeling exhausted. So many practitioners try to put me Phosphtidyl serine and or rodiola and neither ever work for me. I also find very few practioners know about Seriphos. I learned about from Julia Ross and then I decided to take her training .
Thank you for this wonderful work you put into your website, I refer a lot of clients here to get informed, especially if they are on the aminos.
Trudy Scott says
Mary Sue
Thanks for sharing and wonderful to hear your results. I don’t hear back from many folks who have compared both PS and Seriphos so I plan to share your feedback in the follow-up blog on mechanisms/research.
I started using Seriphos with clients when I worked in Julia’s clinic. I agree – not many practitioners know about Seriphos.
You are welcome and thank you for sharing my work!
Nancy Nemiroff says

I’ve only tried phos. serine a bit over the last few years for insomnia resulting from getting off a benzodiazepine. I’ve never noticed a whole lot of help from it, but after reading your blog I wonder if I wasn’t taking it correctly. I only took it as needed, but it sounds like I might have to take it continuously for a while to see the most benefit. In any case, I went ahead and ordered the Seriphos last night because I’m curious to try that, as well as Lactium. I’ve learned my condition is really nervous system based so I’m doing mind-body work for that, but can still use a little help in this department! Thank you for all the great information you put out!
Trudy Scott says
Nancy
Yes to consistent use if cortisol is high. Do keep us posted please
And you are most welcome!
Pat says
Thank you very interesting! Are there shortcomings if nursing? Thanks a lot
Trudy Scott says
Pat
Seriphos is not recommneded during pregnancy and nursing
J. says
Hi Trudy,
I’m on 20 mg of escitalopram as my trauma/grief was causing anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, rushing cortisol that never stopped, shaking and crying. I couldn’t settle. Things are better but I still have twitching and ruminating (terrified of death and dying) and I’m teary still. I’m very fatigued also. I wake up in the night and I’m exhausted in the morning. The doctor now wants me to take Wellbutrin. I was on both escitalopram and Wellbutrin for many years due to post-partum depression with 3 children. I went off both after about 20 years. I’m 57. Now I face being on both again. Am I ruining my health by taking these things? I go for grief and trauma counselling but both my GP and social worker think Wellbutrin may help further. I’m afraid to be on these meds long term again. I don’t like taking any meds, frankly.
Trudy Scott says
J
I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling. You need to decide if you want to continue using medications and add additional ones. The fact that you are asking this question makes me feel you are open to a nutritional approach and I encourage you to start by reading my book “The Antianxiety Food Solution” (more here https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/the-antianxiety-food-solution-by-trudy-scott/). Dietary changes can be made while on psychiatric medications and you’ll learn about the power of nutrients and amino acids, addressing gut health and much more.
When I hear your symptoms I think how much neurotransmitter support and also possible support with Seriphos (if cortisol is high) could help someone like you.
Connie says
We looked up where to get the cortisol saliva test from the info you provided in your article . But it requires a provider and no cost was mentioned. So you say that is the best way to know from doing the test , but where do we start if we want to proceed? Thanks
Trudy Scott says
Connie
Which country?
Laura says
Can you try this if you’re on sertraline? Trying to titrate off… stuck at 50 mg.
Trudy Scott says
Laura
I’m not aware of issues with sertraline but it’s best to always discuss with the prescribing doctor and/or pharmacist.
I have seen it help with high cortisol when tapering and always do a saliva test to confirm.
Laura says
Thank you!
Brenda says
I was always a good sleeper . I actually had CFS and struggled not to sleep . My cortisol was tested LOW . Then , at 50 , I emigrated from South Africa to the UK . I had to stay back after my husband left to sell our farm . Losing my animals and my beautiful piece of paradise was traumatic for me . Leaving family and friends and my business was also devastating . I got to the UK before lockdown . I struggled emotionally . But I always slept . I developed dry eye disease after my husband left SA – this I found very difficult , but got it under control . Then , after a mild bout of covid in 2021 , my body went haywire . I got anxiety that was on steroids , even wanted to die . My dry eyes returned with a vengeance ( inflammation of the eyelids ) . I developed an internal vibration that turned into complete trembling after being put on mirtazapine . Stopped all meds , but my sleep that the mirtazapine initially helped got worse . Initially I could not sleep at all . I’ve researched much on long covid and done numerous protocols as I got no help from doctors in the UK . It definitely seems I have issues with GABA , but it seems to make my eyes drier , and a quarter of a 500mg tab made my face and scalp tingle . Melatonin also helped restore my sleep a bit , but also tends to dry my eyes . Now I fell asleep better , but wake about every hour . I don’t ever have a heavy sleepy feeling anymore and only know Ive been asleep because of a lot of dreams that I remember . I’ve checked my Fitbit and my heart rate is a bit up on waking . I do find my anxiety can go up , especially if I wake soon after falling asleep for the first time . I take passionflower , valerian and Honokiol before bed , also L theanine , L cystine and taurine . Things are a little better , but I’d love to sleep through . Last year I had a morning cortisol blood test which showed it was on the lowest end of normal ( 400 I think ) .
Could I just be getting spikes that wake me ?
I still have the body vibration , but it now generally starts at night and is getting almost undetectable during the day . The NHS doctors simply don’t seem to know what to do to help me . It’s nearly 2 years now , and I desperately want a full night’s sleep . Sorry about the lengthy explanation , but this has been a long hard struggle and I’m quite desperate now .
Thank you
Brenda
Trudy Scott says
Brenda
Sorry to hear about having to leave SA – it sucks!
I have clients do 4 collection adrenal saliva test – this is better than morning cortisol blood test that most doctor’s order. Ideal is to work with a nutritionist or functional medicine doctor as this is out of the scope of most conventional doctors.
We also always capitalize on what is helping and adjusting passionflower, valerian, Honokiol, theanine, L cystine and taurine (one at a time) is a reasonable approach until further testing is done.
Amanda says
Where you listed the causes of insomnia, other causes of insomnia could be low iron or low magnesium, but maybe that is subsumed under something else you mentioned.
Trudy Scott says
Amanda
Absolutely
Ron Hicks says
Hi Trudy,
Slightly off topic and I’ve not really seen it discussed but I have an issue with compulsive shopping. I go out and buy the same things again and again. Could this be treated with amino acids or anything in your field? Or perhaps you can point me in the right direction to get help?
Ron
Trudy Scott says
Ron
Absolutely – all addictions are driven by neurotransmitter imbalances – and compulsive shopping is a common one. The first step is recognizing it’s a problem so that’s great! To get started, replace “compulsive shopping” with “diet coke” in this blog https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/i-need-help-with-my-diet-coke-addiction-when-i-stop-my-fatigue-brain-fog-anxiety-depression-increase-big-time/
And look at all the symptoms here https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/amino-acids-mood-questionnaire-from-the-antianxiety-food-solution/
My book “The Antianxiety Food Solution” https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/the-antianxiety-food-solution-by-trudy-scott/ is a great resource to get started with using the amino acids and making dietary changes for long-term support of neurotransmitters.
Feel free to share what you feel drives your compulsive shopping
Jerri Jones says
When it says “take one before a meal” which meal?

Hi Trudy. Will you be replying to my October 21 comment? I could really use some guidance.
Trudy Scott says
Done 🙂
Nic says
Hi Trudy! I stumbled on your article here while researching SeriPhos.
I am curious your thoughts… Phosphatidylserine works wonders for me. Helps me sleep through the night consistently. SeriPhos is different, though… I tend to wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 4am. (I normally wake up at 7 and have fitful sleep). Which I don’t know whether to complain about or not. I like the ability to jump out of bed energized in the morning, which SeriPhos accomplishes. And I feel good during the day. But it just seems weird that it also cuts my sleep time really short. Maybe my sleep is just super efficient? Or maybe my body needs time to acclimate to it. But I’ve taken it over days and the effect seems to wear off with time.
Trudy Scott says
Nic
Thanks for sharing. This effect is new to me and I’ll observe if others share similar info.
But I don’t like the idea of 3 hours less sleep for anyone. One thing to consider: dosing of Seriphos may be too high – you don’t mention how much PS you used vs how much Seriphos.
Ute Prechtl says
Hi – can it be that seriphos increases joint inflamation over night?
Trudy Scott says
Ute
Not that I am aware of unless it’s an allergic reaction. Can you share what you have observed?
Elitha Keith says
Hi Trudy!
So I came across seriphos a few months ago. First I’ve had insomnia for over a year now. The stress of move across country and things falling apart did a number on my thyroid and the stress wreaked havoc on my body. So when I found an article from a local naturopathic Dr that said take 2 to 3 at bedtime(I had taken only one and it never did anything) I was amazed. I was able to sleep 3-5 hours. For a while it was 3 hours then gradually it went up. Now I do wake up but I can fall back asleep which was a secondary problem to getting only 3-5 hours of sleep at all.
But then it stopped working. So I switched to another product from a naturopath I see for my hormones called Glow PM which has some 5 htp, L theanine, valerian root and a few of thr other things that make you sleepy or calm and that worked for awhile until I started waking up extremely agitated. So now back on the seriphos. It’s a roller coaster for sure but I’m so thankful there is something that helps! Thank you for all your info Trudy!! You’ve a blessing through this journey for me!!
Trudy Scott says
Elitha
I’d suspect the 5-HTP may have contributed to waking agitated https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/does-5-htp-make-you-wired-tired-and-affect-your-sleep-when-cortisol-is-high-yes-and-not-sure-and-no-5-htp-was-miraculous/
Heather says
Why would Seeiphos not be helping? Been taking a couple months now. I’m still waking up with what feels like a cortisol/adrenaline surge that sends me into panic, brain fog,dizziness. The symptoms lessen a bit though the day. But the bad brain fog dizziness and anxiety are still there all day. I feel better a couple hours before bedtime (about 10-1030PM)
Trudy Scott says
Heather
I’d assume cortisol is not high if 3x Seriphos is used. Or it’s not used at the right time i.e 1-3 hrs before high cortisol.
Andrea says
Hi Trudy,
Just curious about something. I have taken GABA on and off for years to help with sleep. I really have not gotten much help from it however. Recently I was tested for amino acids and my GABA level was super low! How could this be after taking it for so many years?
Thanks!
Andrea
Trudy Scott says
Andrea
I don’t have clients take GABA long term if it’s not helping and I don’t do urinary neurotransmitter testing as it’s not accurate – more here https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/urinary-neurotransmitter-testing-reports-elevated-gaba-when-its-really-low-using-the-low-gaba-symptoms-and-a-trial-of-gaba-is-best/
Dana says
Hi Trudy,
I have read the article, and it’s been really helpful, just want to ask about this, I have taken Seriphos for the past 3 months and it had helped me on sleep, I take a break 24 hours every month, now it’s not working anymore. i even increased the dosage but i’m still struggling to sleep, I am back to difficulty falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep, if I do, it’s a light sleep only, is it possible to build tolerance on Seriphos if taken continuously for months? should i take a long break on it?
Thank you!
Trudy Scott says
Dana
I can’t provide specific feedback via the blog but when this has happened with a client, repeat cortisol saliva testing showed low cortisol. We explore other causes and address those – one example of many is low blood sugar https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/waking-with-a-jolt-feeling-shaky-and-anxious-low-blood-sugar-hypoglycemia-glutamine-and-eating-for-blood-sugar-stability/
Dawn Raye says
Hi Trudy. I have tried Seriphos but when U do I experience extreme vertigo even at small doses. I also saw that I am not the only one with the off balance and dizziness from phosphatidylserine. I saw a warning for individuals that are prone to motion sickness in reference with this supplement. Do you have any other recommendations for adrenal support?
Thanks.
Trudy Scott says
Dawn
This adverse effect is new to me. May I ask where you read the warning about motion sickness and feel free to share a link
