[alwaysgrowing]

Does anyone here take any supps for lowering cortisol? I have started taking PS (phosphatidylserine). It is supposed to help with memory function as well as orevent exercise induced increase of cortisol. Anyine have any experience?

No BCAA's, l-glutamine, l-arginine? I thought those three was well would be basics.

I also figured, that since I am naturally heavy, keeping my cortisol levels in check will help keep my weight down. If I as much as look at fried food, ice cream, etc, I put on weight. Due to this, I stress over my diet constantly. So again, checking down my cortisol levels I think would be beneficial.

Do you agree with my logic B? (Even if you don't think it is true for yourself.)

bcaa's and the other aminos you mention are in the protein powder and foods. no need for them extra.

no i dont really agree with the logic bro. the very act of "stressing over diet" will raise your cortisol levels higher then what the suppliment can do to lower them. lol.

lifting weights, relaxing, steroids, etc.. lower cortisol levels.
