KSM-66 hands down. Maybe my favorite standalone ingredient.

Reduce XT is typically a forum-favorite as well

If you are looking for a product that does more than just reduce cortisol, AlphaMax XT is great. It contains a full dose of DHAA and ashwagandha, both of which are shown to decrease cortisol. Additionally, it will help users create lean mass and even decrease fat, depending on diet.

If you are looking solely for a cortisol controlling product, Reduce XT works great. If you are looking for something to run with very little off time, Jarrow Ashwagandha is very cheap.

Ashwagandha and tongkat ali both have direct research showing decreases in cortisol, as well as many other benefits. It all depends on what exactly you’re looking for. These two are adaptogens, so will more “normalize” cortisol, or bring it down to more “ideal” levels than crush it, but I’d argue that this is what you want (not saying that anything else here would crush cortisol too much).

Thanks for the replies. KSM 66 was used to be a staple for me. Looks like I'll order some more.

Like others have said I would go with Reduce XT by SNS. Can't beat that product and SNS has quality supps.

I would recommend this. Even half dose (0.5 ml) is effective.
yes, no one has ever complained Invictus is under dosed. and, with our carrier and droppers, you have infinite dosing options...leaving you in control. Invictus has been the #1 cortisol control product at Supplement Reviews for 2 years...since it was released.

invictus-beta androstenetriol is a unique anti-cortisol product....unlike many[actually most]other products that control cortisol invictus did not negatively impact my joints, and i'm 59 with arthritis....invictus is one of a very few cortisol products I can use!!!

And doses none of them correctly.
Ah, youngsters and their piss and vinegar. Gotta love it.

It's dosed to be able to take throughout the day, not all at once.

Even at 3 caps, which would make it a 30 day supply, it’s still under-dosed. Do you want me to go ingredient-by-ingredient and explain why? “Youngster.” Right, because age is the sole determining factor in supplement knowledge.

Then that would mean Reduce XT is SEVERELY under dosed as well. Which we know it's not, otherwise people on this thread would not have recommended it over and over.

And you're right, age doesn't necessarily indicate experience, but given your tone I know you're younger and less experienced. I've been in the nutrition, supp, fitness, and sales game a long time.

I also know about professionalism and civility. As a rep for a well respected company on this forum you may want to consider those terms as well.

I mean that none of the added herbal ingredients are dosed properly. That is my bad, I should have clarified that.

Shall I start with the 7mg of cordyceps 7% extract? Or how about 20mg/day PS at 3 caps/day (20% PS means that only 1/5 of the total dose is actually PS)? Is the rhodiola not an extract? The other herbal ingredients say "extract," but rhodiola doesn't? Is it just powder and not an extract?

Or perhaps I'm wrong. If you know so much more than I do, please explain how these ingredients are properly dosed and effective. I'm not above being proven wrong my friend.

Add Vitamin C as well, as it may help with cortisol.

Both are great products. Dosing is another aspect. Reduce is pills and invictus is not.

yes, and for invictus it would be nice to add cortisol control but not in pill form. Considering all the damn pills we all take daily. 2 of these 2 of that, 2 of those....3 of these......

Reduce XT is great on its own. Add in KSM for cortisol management, but Reduce XT is actually formulated to, well, reduce cortisol

There are warnings out there for other TD's. Whats the consensus on accidental transmission to others for invictus? Once its dried should I be worried about it transferring to someone in the household?

invictus can be used by both men and women, if you are concerned about children apply to shoulders and traps[the best places anyways]and after it dries put a shirt on around children just to be on the cautious side.

there is nothing complicated about transdermals, it's mostly all just commonsense!!!

You are absolutely correct about all that :)
