When lowering cortisol during a cut, is this more a visual effect (less water) and not permanent, or does it actually aid in losing fat permanently?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10690893Thus, cortisol and GH have opposite effects on the basal lipolytic activity in human adipose tissue in vitro as well as on the sensitivity to catecholamines, GH being the lipolytic and cortisol the antilipolytic agent. The present findings are in agreement with in vivo observations.

Maximum forskolin-induced lipolytic activity was reduced after
exposure of the tissue to cortisol (P , 0.05)
Awesome, sources are always great to learn this stuff. So I'm taking it GH levels have an effect on cortisol and vice versa?higher levels of cortisol means decreased fat loss. That's pretty much it from what I've read

it is because of this reason that we included Ashwagandha in Alphamax Xt alongside with forskolin, and why many users tend to see a recomp-like effect when taking it.
yeah GH increases lipolysis / fat burning while cortisol decreases itAwesome, sources are always great to learn this stuff. So I'm taking it GH levels have an effect on cortisol and vice versa?
not sure you ever lose fat "permanently"or does it actually aid in losing fat permanently?
Liposuctionnot sure you ever lose fat "permanently"
Very well stated.Think of cortisol in the same terms as insulin. There are times you want it to be high (e.g. training), but not something you want chronically elevated or crushed.. It's only then is it potentially harmful.
Regarding GH levels and such -- if there is a serious problem, then yes, that could be an issue (e.g. pituitary disorder, etc.). That said, a lot of the info about how important GH levels are to training has been blown a little too out of proportion over the years. Layne Norton linked a study a few weeks back looking into research specifically on training-induced GH levels and their effects.I'm kinda taking it that cortisol is just a small piece of the picture and while controlling it may be beneficial, it is more important to look at what is causing it, GH levels and diet keep coming up and those two will obviously have much benefit beyond healthy cortisol levels
IMO the best time for a cortisol control product is at the end of a cut when you cortisol levels are are at their highest because of the stress, ect.I'm kinda taking it that cortisol is just a small piece of the picture and while controlling it may be beneficial, it is more important to look at what is causing it, GH levels and diet keep coming up and those two will obviously have much benefit beyond healthy cortisol levels
Only with liposuction..not sure you ever lose fat "permanently"
