Steroidology members,
Cortisol can catabolize muscle and testicular tissue leading to smaller muscles and lower testosterone levels. That's why it’s desirable to suppress, or at least control cortisol levels. The most important time to guard you body against the effects of cortisol is during post cycle therapy (pct) when testosterone levels are low, and cortisol can easily dominate and wreck havoc on the body. (testosterone is a primary antagonist of cortisol)
Many cortisol blocking supplements on the market include one of the many DHEA metabolites such as 7-keto DHEA (7-oxo DHEA), 7-beta DHEA or androstenetriol. Short term studies have shown that these pro-hormone based cortisol blockers can lower lh - leutenizing hormone - & FSH - follicle stimulating hormone - thus inhibiting natural testosterone production. (1,2) While these may be useful supplements during a cycle, they should be avoided for PCT.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a ‘non-hormonal’ cortisol blocker that can effectively lower cortisol levels. Rather than lowering testosterone production, PS can actually increase testosterone production. (3,4) PS works by reducing CRH and ACTH release from the pituitary, thus reducing cortisol release from the adrenal glands.
Unfortunately PS has been prohibitively expensive, until now. In order to bring you the most affordable PS on the net, we are offering a month’s supply of PS (800mg/day) for only 47.99 – AKA EndoAmp.
