Cortisol blockers?

[TheProject]

I was going through some old magazines the other day, and found several articles and ads for cortisol blockers. Supposedly they're great for hardgainers.

Anyone ever try one of these things? Do they work at all?

Okay, just did a google search, and found this one:

which is comprised of:

Phosphatidylserine: 200mg
Glutamine peptide: 800mg

Makes me wonder if I should just add in some glutamine, or if the addition of phosphatidylserine is worthwhile.

800 mg of glutamine is next to nothing. I take about 10-15 grams of it before going to bed (i.e. 10-15,000 mg)

sounds like bs to me.

PS (Phosphatidylserine) seems to be an interesting sup (though a bit pricey)

Much more useful than Glutamine

Phosphatidylserine helps with brain function to boot. good supp!

7-Keto is reckoned to be a good cortisol blocker - never tried it myself tho

The only real cortisol blocker I've tried was RU-486 (i used it as a pro-gyno blocker). Not something I would again.....

Yes sir. I used it as an anti-Pro gyno with Deca but it's also known to reduce cortisol up to 30%.....
