In Reply to: Lowering Cortisol levels??????? posted by Alabama on January 11, 1997 at 14:29:04:
: I just recently got my cortisol levels tested and found out that they are hitting the roof, I realize how this can affect my growing, and recuperation. I have a very high stress level, and seem to loose my patience with the smallest things.( it's genetics, my Dad is psycho as well....) I wanted to know if there was any way to lower these Cortisol levels via relaxation, or anything else. Another bodybuilder at my gym told me to start smoking pot, yet it's not my kind of thing. The only drugs I'll take are cold medicines and the occasional cycle of juice. Any advice boys????
Cytadren will lower cortisol levels but I tried this and saw nothing exciting happen. I believe
aminogluthimide (cytadren)to not be very good. Phospatidylserine is purportedly to not be effective
but I believe this to be due to the fact that there are no cheap sources in order to take effective
dosages. I accessed quite a bit from one of the lecithin manufacturers--it was still very expensive
but I was able to take 1 gram per day. I can tell you that I saw some considerable results. Whether
this was due to cortisol reduction, I cannot tell you because I didnot have a blood test--but in any case
it worked. I am not presently on it because of the expense. Even from the manufacterer it cost about $100
per month
Good Luck
