a lot of plant based herbs and even plant based foods will help with cortisol but at the end of the day it will boil down to you lowering stress in your life.

yes you do for 2 main reasons

1. your body is stressed during this time
2. anabolic steroids lower cortisol so coming off of them will cause a spike.

so running a good pct is essential

So it would be good to take this when in PCT ?

Lowering cortisol is one of the reasons why I have included Cardarine in the PCT protocol that I recommend.

 

[RickRock13]

Cardarine is recommended in Pct exactly for this reason

 

[P0N]

I use it pretty much year round

At the moment I take 1300mg. It seems to help a little, although you shouldn't expect anything miraculous

Same here.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to help stabilize the body’s physiology and homeostasis. What this means is that ashwagandha efficiently stabilizes imbalances in your body so that during periods of stress it can lower cortisol and boost thyroid function.
