How to lower Cortisol?

[Singleton]

How can I lower cortisol?

We all know it breaks down our hard earned muscle, so we wanna keep it pretty low.

Now I'm not a biochemist, but what I understand is that cortisol raises 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase levels in fat cells, making them more sensitive to insulin.

(Someone else should explain this better. Anyone up for a challenge?)

What can lower cortisol? I'm more interested in naturally lowering cortisol.

I've heard these cortisol:
water
Avoiding stress
sleeping well
Insulin
yoga

I would "IV" EnerG

take maybe 40 grams 3 times daily

its will taste interesting but will work

also try

Phospadyl Serine, but get the pure kind 40% or better

also

take large doses of Vitamin C


all of the above spread evenly

Ah, vitamin C. I'm taking about 3g/day. I'm thinking about trying to get my doc to approve of injectible C. It's virtually impossible to find, but i did find one pharm & they req doctor to actually make the purchase.

Omega, you know, I've been lookin for Glutamine Peptide/BCAA blend.

I've used your product and felt it was effective. I've also used a BCAA blend and felt that it too was effective. So I want a combination of isolated glutamine peptides and BCAAs (and maybe some citrulline malate thrown in).

Read that, it explains how to lower cortisol levels. Preety good read IMO.

 

[OMEGA]

hmm well its sounds like your on the right track

don't forget to look up the Phos Serine its expensive but proven to work

 

[Singleton]

Phosphatidylserine - I'm taking soy lecithin from my grocery store. Good stuff and cheap, too!

 

[OMEGA]

thats Phos Choline

Phos Serine is different ( it was derived form animal sources now Lecithen)

I was thinking of coming out with a pure form

BUT its expensive

most stuff on the market is indeed junk as low as 20%

 

[Singleton]

Lecithin contains both phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl choline. It's good and cheap. and doesn't taste bad, either

There is a weight-loss substance known as Cortaslim that does this.

There is a weight-loss substance known as Cortaslim that does this.

I heard too much vitamin C will cause kidney stones, true?

ok before you go screwing with your cortisol too much, realize that cortisol, even though it breaks down tissue, is still vital to your health. Cortisol is released by the Adrenal cortex (middle region) of the adrenal gland; if you remove this, you will die in a few days (you can survive without the medulla though). Obviously, you're not removing your adrenal cortex, but keep in mind that cortisol does have its functions.
