Any natty supps that help with CNS recovery?
I'm not going to pretend to know how the central nervous system works.can you break down "cns recovery" a bit more? what type of specific actions/benefits are you looking for
Not necessarily something wrong...I would just buy general health supplements. Fish oil, multi vitamin etc.. Also Controlled labs Orange health IQ is a great one to add in. Trust me, you will know if there are problems with your CNS so don't worry about it too much. Is there any particular problem your experiencing that led you to think there's something wrong with your CNS?
I personally don't think that there is much out there that will help with actual CNS recovery. In my experience when I feel extreme CNS fatigue then that means it's time to decrease volume for a short amount of time, get some more sleep, and maybe up my calories and let my body/brain recover. It happens to everyone. Especially when you have a busy life and lift hard on top of it.Not necessarily something wrong...
I'm 36 now. I just feel the differences/decline in overall recovery.
And I was just curious to hear anyone else's thoughts on the subject and if there were any supplements that would help with CNS recovery.
Ksm-66 ashwagandha too.Rhodiola is definitely one of the best for nervous system fatigue, and also consider using sleep aids if your sleep isn't that good.
KSM-66 seems more for stress/anxiety related things though, but it could be helpful.Ksm-66 ashwagandha too.
Reduced cortisol = better cns recovery? Maybe?KSM-66 seems more for stress/anxiety related things though, but it could be helpful.
Naw. Cortisol isnt the bad guy people think it is.Reduced cortisol = better cns recovery? Maybe?
True enough. But if chronically elevated it could impair recovery.Naw. Cortisol isnt the bad guy people think it is.
Deloads. Deloads. Deloads. Useful if you train at a pretty high intensity, otherwise just scale back volume for a bit as well if you think it stems from the gym.
For sure! Ashwagandha still gets my vote though. So usefulTrue enough. But if chronically elevated it could impair recovery.
Deloads are crucial! Church! For me at least.
True, but adaptogens like ashwagandha have benefits that may be relevant here independent of reducing cortisol.Naw. Cortisol isnt the bad guy people think it is.

Life and training: Sleep, proper nutrition, deloads as needed
Supplementation: rhodiola, KSM-66, and some ZMA or HMB could help
Best answers you'll get regarding this issue. CNS "recovery" is a very complex topic and often confused for something else.Naw. Cortisol isnt the bad guy people think it is.
