Anything I can take to reduce Cortisol?

I love me extra virgin. But I don't understand how one can be 'extra' virgin if they are virgin already. Are there bonus points for never knuckle partying or figure eighting?

Pin Insulin. Insulin reduces the Cortisol response apparently.

This - so probably one of the best natural things you can do (or continue to do) is ingest relatively simple carbs post-work out to get that insulin up. 1-2g of vitamin C and some vitamin E are supposedly beneficial also.

Layne Norton recommends you drink Whey and Dextrose during your workout to "dull" the Cortisol response as Whey and Dextrose spike insulin which suppresses Cortisol. I have started drinking Whey and ground Oats before and during my morning workout to hopefully suppress it a bit.

Not sure how you'd suppress Cortisol throughout the day without drugs though.

Does the Endocrine Amplifier also blunt cortisol respomse from non-exercise? eg stress, stims..?

Crikey, if I took 2-3 minutes to respond to a question I would be admitting myself to emergency ward immediately!

Yes it also reduces the cortisol level when not exercising, i've actually had 2 people use it who do not train and over a couple of weeks use once the cortisol level became too low, when cortisol becomes very low inflammation rises and you can get carpel tunnel syndrome in the hands, both people got it. I tried it out at double dose whilst training to see if it would happen and it happened to me too after about a week or so. So the it is highly effective at reducing cortisol.

Here is one of the studies which shows cortisol lowered by 39% + or minus 1% and the area under the curve to be lowered 35% compared to a placebo control
JISSN | Full text | The effects of phosphatidylserine on endocrine response to moderate intensity exercise

So as you can see Endocrine Amplifier is highly effective at reducing cortisol.

It's just the first term I could think of for flicking the bean, strumming the banjo, rubbin' the nubbin, flickin' the bean, clam bake for one.. you get the idea


I love how you come up with all the right studies [MENTION=10445]O.N.[/MENTION];!
Anything to reduce cortisol will be heavensent thats for sure. I am a natural anxious neurotic, so I find it hard to chill, always moving about like a shark eyes darting everywhere and wanting to pick things up and put them down.
