cortsiol hormone and cortsiol supplements

**first off this thread could probably go in either the supplement or the steroid forum, but i wasn't sure.**

i was wondering if during a steroid cycle do cortisol levels rise higher than compared to normal levels off cycle. Based upon this answer would a cortisol blocker be necessary? if it doesnt, i dont see the need to purchase a cortisol blocker supplement during cycle.

while ON cortisol levels will be lower then usual

so when you come off a cycle, it will go back up? is that the necessity of having a cortisol blocker?

yes n yes

so would something like USP super cissus rx besufficient enough for cortisol, or do you need a real cortisol blocker product (ex: lean xtreme, lean fx, etc)

yes- they do- and I would use one when you come off- high-dose cissus would do the trick pretty nicely...

cortisol binding is lower than usual b/c of competition for glucocorticoid sites while on a cycle, but cortisol levels go a good bit higher during a cycle....

I think Lean Xtreme 2 is a really decent product, and using it post cycle you would benefit from it big time.

gut the glucocorticoid responce is lower after training, which is very important.
