Cortislim?
OK, my first question is about the basic principle behind the claims. The Cortislim manufacturer states that Cortislim blocks the fat hormone Cortisol. I thought Cortisol was the byproduct of intense muscular contractions. Am I getting confused again or is this just more junk science from another supp. seller? My second question is, does anyone have any firsthand experience with Cortislim and does it work? Finally, my third question is, now that Ephedra is taboo, what's the best fat burner on the market. (For you a$$holes out there I'm talking about fat burner pills, I know diet and exercise are BEST.
) I'm getting to the age where I need a little help in the fat loss department. 
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

Don't knwo about Cortislim...sounds like they're confusing lactic acid and cortisol...
The proven corticol bullet seems to be 7-keto/7-oxo DHEA, available in pill or transdermal form (Ab-Solved) without b.s. additives.
BEST fat burners:
Ephedrine HCL + Yombine HCL

Cortislim doesnt do shit. It has nothing to do with cortisol. They just named it that hoping to capitalize on the buzzword factor.

The only thing in it that has a known effect on cortisol is phosphatidylserine. Their dose is about 10 times less than the clinically supported dose.
From all that I have read, PS is superior to 7-keto.
Here be a link, NOW's PS is pretty cheap.

I've been using PS daily for several weeks now at ~750mg. Cant say ive noticed anything too spectacular, beyond my joints just starting to give me a little trouble. I'm probably going to stop dosing it in about a week. Or at the least, move my dose to pre-workout instead of early AM. Im beginning to think that disrupting the morning cortisol spike could be why ive been having trouble dropping fat lately. I also want to know if my gains slow at all.Originally posted by Dale Mabry

You would want to take it around your workout. I always took it immediately before. I noticed that when I did cardio that the ammonia smell from my sweat was not there. Don't know why you would take it early am.

Well, from what i read, its cortisol reducing effects last roughly 12 hours. I was normally hitting the gym just a couple hours later, anyway.Originally posted by Dale Mabry

When i first started taking it, i felt i had chronically elevated cortisol... so AM seemed like the time to dose it. Ive got maybe a 4 weeks supply left, so ill mess around with the dosing.

If you live in an area that has a Trader Joe's (speciety grocery store) then you can get PS for the same price, minus the shipping. I bought a bottle (6O gels of 100mg) for 23 dollars. Just another place you could look.

I'd say PS + 7-Keto + a few grams of Lecithin a day would be very effective on cortisol.
Much better than CortiSlim

It is the same price as NOW Foods' PS (on NOW's website), which you recommended earlier.
I just took a look at Bulknutrition. Thanks.
