cortisol blocker

Hi. I'm sort of new to all this. I have been into bodybuilding for the past two to three months. The supplements I take are whey protein, creatine, beta alanine and glutamine. I have been doing some reading about cortisol blockers and how they help prevent breakdown of muscle from stress. One of my problem areas are my abs. There is plenty of "fat" there. I am cutting down on my carbs. I was wondering if a cortisol blocker would help not only my abs but also the rest of my muscles?

I appreciate any and all comments

11-oxo at the low dose (3pills per day) is probably the best

why would you suggest an anabolic when he specificially stated he is "new" to this?


OP - check out Lean Xtreme by designer supplements. it is the best cortisol product on the market that doesn't also inhibit anabolic effects

So, you have just been into "bodybuilding" for 2-3 months and you are already thinking about a cortisol blocker?

This forum promotes that kind of thinking as well.
