Event Overview:

Is cortisol the next big thing in supplements and beverages? As consumers pair real-time wearable biometrics with a demand for products that actually respond to their biology, the industry is converging on a new category: neurosensory modulation built around circadian rhythm and stress downregulation. Yet most sleep support tools—melatonin, magnesium, GABA, adaptogens—address only the sleep-stage half of the equation, leaving the cortisol gap wide open.

This session explores that gap and how brands can close it, spotlighting PeptiSleep™, Nuritas’ AI-discovered, clinically studied peptide that targets orexin-driven cortisol synthesis independent of central HPA-axis suppression. This discussion is based on clinical pilot data—including wearable-verified gains in total sleep time, REM, and heart-rate variability—and shows how a cortisol-focused mechanism can be layered into existing sleep formulations to meet the needs of the wearable-informed, biometrically literate consumer of tomorrow.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand why cortisol is the next major formulation for sleep and stress response
• Learn how real-time wearable biometrics are reshaping consumer expectations
• Examine the clinical evidence behind PeptiSleep and practical formulation strategies

Who Should Attend:

• R&D/Formulation Scientists focusing on innovation and new product development
• Regulatory/Scientific Affairs seeking to understand the clinical substantiation behind cortisol-focused claims
• Marketing/Brand leads seeking to understand consumer demand and biometric-trend framing to shape positioning, not just the science
