Best cortisol controlling supp for the price?

What to hear some of the AM member's thoughts on their favorite cortisol controller for the money :)
 
I will offer a few that really worked well for me

  • Reset AD (Rhodiola Rosea extract (3% rosavins), Schizandra, Licorice) - highly reviewed and best used when eliminating all stims from the diet. Had a real good feeling from this product
  • Ashwagandha - always a good idea to keep when you are taking any serious stim product or during a recomp to keep cortisol at a normal range. Also has a host of other health promoting effects!
  • A,C, & E...sometimes overlooked
  • Rhodiola - excellent in elevating the mood. This is ideal for those on a low carb/keto diet as it can help stimulate the release of dopamine and serotonin.
  • Astragalus - good if you are coming down with a cold or just finished a serious recomp or contest prep as it increases T cell and macro****e activity
  • Trans resveratrol - a host of benefits and something we should all probably be taking
  • Peri workout carbs - again, I feel like whole foods are sometimes lost or forgotten in this world of over supplementation. Some I see take so many supplements it would be impossible to see what is working and what isn't. All of this begins and ends with proper nutrition and is only facilitated by supplements


 
i just grab 1 scoop of endoamp max in my preworkout and call it good, i love it as part of my PCT or cut stacks... :) always has been good to me for cortisol lowering...
 
Was any of the above products even cortisol control? lol...

I would say supress-c if you can find it at <30 . Also high dosed vitamine C, cheapest way to help with cortisol.

Endoamp is great because it has 800mg of PS which is a pricey product. Lean Xtreme and Reduce XT by SNS are also good products.

I like the idea of taking endoamp pre workout (perhaps in a prework drink) because lifting can cause a spike in cortisol due to stress, as I understand.

was gonna suggest endoamp or lean extreme, both work a little differently. Endoamp I think will give you better results.

yes like aviad mentioned earlier Rhodiola and Ashwagandha are potent adaptogens and will help control cortisol also if u want to go on the ultra cheap BCAAs and vit C will work aswell.
 
id toss my vote in for endoamp max i jsut throw 1 scoop into my maximize v2 and im ready to rock, its been my best friend for PCT and cutting....
 
LOL op asks for cheap cortisol control, gets recomended endoamp, says its too expensive, and then has 10 people tell him endoamp anyway...

also ibe x-lean can be found pretty cheaply.

im literally lol'ing:squareeyed:
 
I am going to say endoamp.

Features of Endoamp:
Phosphatidylserine, which will prevent the rise in cortisol after exercise.
It also has Alpha Size, which has growth hormone raising abilities (also an ingredient in HGHpro)
It will be part of my Turinabol cycle.
 
Yeah i haven't tried EndoAmp but there is so many positive reviews on it and PP is such a great company its hard to believe that it wouldn't be good.
 
I've never tried endoamp but I have read plenty on Phosphatidylserine, seems to be the gold standard for lowering cortisol but most products it is grossly underdosed, how much is in endoamp?

800mg, but that tells part of the story

SerinAde® 1600mg**

-- Phosphatidylserine 800mg**

-- Phosphatidylcholine 154mg**

-- Phosphatidylethanolamine 128mg**

-- Phosphatidylinositol 68mg**

1-2g vitamin C per day. Can't get cheaper than that

Wow, didn't know that about mega-dosing of vitamin C. I will give it a try :)

deadaim said:
In all fairness, arent you saving lots of money on food during a cut :)
Click to expand...
I'm not cutting, I am prone to over training. I am starting a cycle of 1-T LV/Androhard this weekend and want to keep cortisol under control while on cycle. I am running the PP TRS for PCT which includes EndoAmp but i don't want to shell out 50 bucks to run it during cycle too.

I don't know much about 7-Keto but see that NOW food has an affordable product. Anyone else vouch for this statement?

Granted it is the best probably, and i didn't know that Alpha Size raised GH. That sounds freakin awesome!


Also, does anyone know in what ways that Lean Xtreme differs from endoamp? and i'm talking about how it affects the body. i can read the ingredient lists. :P

Its and interesting ingredient, more info can be found here:

The SerinAid is made by the same company:
Invalid Link Removed (Scroll down for cortisol Information)

Two great compounds in one package, makes for one hell of a product. EndoAmp may seem expensive, but with 2 designer products in the ingredients, its good stuff.
 
Cissus do not suppress Cortisol, but rather block cortisol receptors SuperCissus by USPLabs is a high quality Cissus product.

7-Hydroxy-DHEA: Another potent cortisol suppressor with great oral bioavailability. Found in the following products: Lean Xtreme (by Designer Supplements), Reduce XT (by SNS)

I didn't know that about Cissus. I use bulk Cissus from Trueprotein and cap it myself. I will up the dosage. :D

Both Lean Xtreme and Reduce XT are similar in price, plus cheaper than Endoamp. Will they work as well is the question.
 
I have found Adrenacalm to be quiet fast and effective. Its a transdermal so you feel it kick in pretty fast.

AdrenaCalm – Active ingredients: Phosphatidylserine, Vitamin B1 (riboflavin), Purified Water, Valerian root, Lemmon Balm, Milk Thistle, Polygala Tenuifolia, Hazel bud extract, Lime Tree bud extract, St. Mary’s Thistle, CoQ10, St. John’s Wart, Bitter Cucumber, Magnesium Phosphate, Marking Nut, German Chamomile, Elm, Gorse, Olive, Red Chestnut, Vervain, Impatiens, Pituitary, Adrenal, Thyroid

IF your on cycle you do not need to use cortisol control during cycle..

I was advised by someone i trust that it might be a good idea for my training sched. But, i'll see how it goes with out it. It'd be nice to save the money.
 
IBE's X-Lean !!

It can be found for as little as $20 for a bottle.

Well i googled it and the cheapest i could find was $24.95. And since X-Lean and Lean Xtreme are basically the same(the latter having a little Green tea extract, Coleus, and Phosphatidylserine added as well), since Lean Xtreme has 30 more capsules for $2 dollars I don't see a reason to go with the X-Lean. They both have 2 capsules a day for the serving size(although Lean Xtreme says you can take up to 4), but they're still both proprietary blends. :sad3:

Very few people need to go as high as 4 caps/day of LX. We have found that 3 caps/day is the sweet spot for most users (1 upon waking, 1 4hrs later and 1 about 12hrs after the first).
 
I Still would like to know why cortisol control wouldn't be beneficial ON cycle if the training is very intense and frequent....?

Good point funkd0c !

Does anyone know why it's best to use cort control supplements with PCT instead of during your cycle and following it into PCT ??

For the nutraplanet sale price, nothing comes close to Lean Xtreme.

I'm probably 3 weeks into a bottle at 2 caps a day and then saw the sale price at nutra and purchased another bottle. I don't think I'm seeing any results yet but I'm feeling no side effects which I can't say about many "fat burners". First time trying this product or a DHEA derivative.
