Reduce XT has been pretty much the go-to cortisol supp for quite awhile around here. price is always good and results are as well. Hard to beat.Looking for something to help lean out, stim free fat burner.
Tried Lean Xtreme a while back, was ok.
Looking into reduce xt and Brawn Nutrtion Corti Lean.
Any feed back would be appreciated.
Invictus+vii-kt x 100...remember Invictus is b-AET, go to iron legion subsection to learn more, nice write up there...I truly believe Invictus is superior to 7-keto for cortisol, I find 7-keto to be best at boosting metabolism....combine them both and you get the best of both worlds...Invictus x10
Cortisol control supps are commonly used for fat loss, recomp, and lean bulking. They are also very commonly used in PCT.What do yall use as reference to needing a cortisol supplement? Just curious
Not what i asked. Let me rephrase. Lowering cortisol can be counterproductive to reach those goals, sometimes it is best to leave cortisol alone, what are tell tale signs cortisol needs to come down to continue fat loss per say?Cortisol control supps are commonly used for fat loss, recomp, and lean bulking.

Iniabiltiy to fall asleep, fat increasing around midsection, or not reducing. Overly stressed. Some tell tale signs.Not what i asked. Let me rephrase.

Gotcha. Yes, I did misunderstand what you were asking. I thought you were asking for the most common times/reasons that people would use a cortisol control supplement. For me, I have been a big fan of them for years because I know they work very well for me through personal experience. The best ones I have ever used were Reduce XT and back when CEL made Suppress-C.Not what i asked. Let me rephrase.

In regards specifically to fat loss per your question above, I'm sure that different people could give different replies but the same reasons that I decided to try them I think are the same reasons I've found that I respond very well to them. I'm not sure that you would call these signs as much as you'd call them criteria for my original thinking that I would be a good candidate for them helping me. Those include:
- I tend to have a hard time gaining muscle, lose muscle very easily, but gain fat very easily. I especially tend to lose muscle while dieting.
- Cortisol levels tend to be higher when you're under a lot of stress. I have a very high stress life to begin with but when dieting its much more stressful than normal because my food allergies make dieting extremely difficult.
- For me, the areas around my midsection and love handles are the hardest to lose (cortisol control supplements help me tremendously with that).
In my life when I've had a lot to lose I've used Reduce XT throughout entire cut but there have also been times when I was leaner that I would cut until hit a 'wall' and then would include it to help me get past the sticking point. In my experience, the leaner I get, the leaner they help me get if that makes sense.
Some people have a misconception with cortisol control supplements. The goal should be to lower cortisol levels to the point that it helps you accomplish your goals but not to go overboard and try to crush them.
You can always try something like ashwagandha (KSM-66) or PS first, since they’ll reduce cortisol to “ideal” levels but not tank it. Ash is an adaptogen, so it improves how your body handles stress. Not to mention that these ingredients have numerous other benefits beyond just lowering cortisol.Not what i asked. Let me rephrase.

no reason you couldn't stack them. personally I like Invictus together with vii-kt and get very good results, but replacing vii-kt with reduce xt should be very good also.I love Reduce XT and Invictus. Can’t go wrong either way.
