What's the best cortisol blocker out these days?

11-oxo is the best I think.

EndoAmp is also meant to be good.

im just curious bigsexy - is this something you just plan on using all the time or what? I personally think as cortisol blocker may only be helpful at certain times (pct) - cortisol provides many positive and necessary benefits to us as well. One of the best methods for keeping cortisol under control is simply frequent meals - like we tend to do anyway.

Isn't 11-oxo an SD wannabe? Or am I thinking of something else...

I've heard mixed reviews on EndoAmp


I know there is clen, I might just run that.


What about Lean Xtreme by Designer Supplement or AX Retain2
they both have been discontinued, but I found a couple places that have them...wonder if its legit.

How bout
vitamin c @ 5 g ed
l-tyrosine @ 3 g ed
and endoamp

[RATTLEHEAD]

it's a mild PH that blocks cortisol.

I've read a ton of reviews/testimonials about lean extreme, and people were pretty fond of it most of the time.

Vit C is very good.


Vitamin C supplementation and salivary immune function following exercise-heat stress.Carrillo AE, Murphy RJ, Cheung SS.
Environmental Ergonomics Laboratory, School of Health and Human Performance, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.

PURPOSE: Prolonged physical exertion and environmental heat stress may elicit postexercise depression of immune cell function, increasing upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) susceptibility. We investigated the effects of acute and short-term vitamin C (VC) compared with placebo (PL) supplementation on URTI susceptibility, salivary immunoglobulin A (s-IgA), and cortisol responses in healthy individuals following prolonged exercise-heat stress. METHODS: Twelve participants were randomized into the VC or PL group in a double-blind design. For 12 days, participants consumed 3x500 mg tablets of VC or PL per day, with testing completed at baseline, then following acute (1 d) and short-term (8 d) supplementation. Participants performed 120.1+/-49.6 min of cycling at 54+/-6% VO2max in a hot (34.8+/-1.0 degrees C and 13+/-3% relative humidity) environment, with saliva samples collected at pre-, post-, and 72 h postexercise. Health logs specifying URTI symptoms were completed for 7 days postexercise. RESULTS: A 2x3x3 mixed ANOVA with a post hoc Bonferroni correction factor revealed a significant linear trend in postexercise cortisol attenuation in the VC group, 21.7+/-15.1 nmol/L (mean+/-SD) at baseline, to 13.5+/-10.0 at acute, to 7.6+/-4.2 after short term (P=.032). No differences were detected in ratio of s-IgA to protein or URTI symptoms between groups. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that vitamin C supplementation can decrease postexercise cortisol in individuals performing exercise similar to that of a half-marathon or marathon in hot conditions. However, no changes in s-IgA and URTI were evident, possibly due to previous moderate training and reduced physical and psychological stress compared with athletes participating in ultramarathons.

Even though its half-marathon runners, there are also studies on resistance trained athletes.

11-oxo is a mild androgen, yes.

You never stated it couldnt be a pro-steroid!

Other than that, EndoAmp. Never seen a bad review about it and the data looks pretty solid.
