lean Xtreme helps with cortisol

"
Lean Xtreme™ is a patent-pending formula used to combat cortisol (the stress hormone). High cortisol causes fat gain, muscle-loss, and destroys "on-cycle" gains. Lean Xtreme™ is a critical support of healthy diets and a PCT (post-cycle therapy) plan."

Recently, PS has become popular among athletes who hope it can help them build muscle more efficiently. This use is based on weak evidence that PS slows the release of cortisol following heavy exercise.

Athletic Performance
Weak evidence suggests that PS might decrease the release of the hormone cortisol after intense exercise. Among its many effects, cortisol acts to break down muscle tissue—exactly the opposite of the effect desired by a strength athlete or bodybuilder. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study on 11 intensely trained athletes found that 800 mg of PS taken daily reduced the cortisol rise by 20% as compared with placebo. Another small study on 9 nonathletic males found that daily doses of 400 and 800 mg of PS reduced cortisol levels after exercise by 16% and 30%, respectively.36 Another study found that phosphatidylserine could relieve some overtraining symptoms, including muscle soreness, possibly due to effects on cortisol.

On the basis of these preliminary trials, PS has been proposed as a sports supplement. However, there is as yet no direct evidence to support the claims that PS actually helps athletes build muscles more quickly and with less training effort. Furthermore, the most recent and best designed study, using vegetable source PS, failed to find any effect on cortisol release, muscle soreness or markers of muscle damage.

Doesn't sound all that promising. Surely there's a better supplement for this purpose?

yes, Lean Xtreme by DS.

I ended up buying C3 by EAS. It contains 150mg of Phosphatidylserine.

Lean Xtreme seems like a good option too... I didn't want to go the clen route this time around during PCT.
