A cortisol blocker like Retain2 IMO. If you're going to up the cardio, you will need to keep cortisol at bay.
I thought cortisol was important for testosterone levels?
Anyway, I've used Max Cla and Sesamin and I liked the results. Hope that helps.
So generally cardio makes you produce more cortisol? Or cardio when cutting makes you produce more cortisol? Would someone have to worry about a cortisol spike after taking a product like retain?
Yeah stress in general, but physical stress such as cardio release cortisol. As for the spike in cortisol, I honestly do not know but I wouldn't think so. It would be a good question to ask an Anabolic Xtreme rep.
It doesn't stop your production of cortisol, it helps to control and reduce high levels, so I wouldn't think there would be a spike after use.
There are products that contain Phosphatidylserine, which helps reduce cortisol. One is Cortistat PS by Champion nutrition.
Cool, thanks for the info. Repped.
