One of the reasons this happens is to make the body selectively access and break down muscle tissue for protein and energy to protect the vital organs from starvation. Of course, for a properly nourished, high performing athlete, this is counter-productive. Cortisol also lowers immune response, making it easier to get sick. When cortisol levels get too high, you get weaker, sick, or over-trained. Sometimes even all three at once!!! One good thing that cortisol does is help your body control inflammation. In fact, high cortisol levels actually make you feel good. But don’t let too-high cortisol levels erode your hard won progress.A Solution CORTISTAT-PS, is designed to prevent excess cortisol secretion while helping to keep your joints and muscles from getting too sore. The active ingredient, phosphatidylserine, has been shown in laboratory studies to significantly blunt the body’s secretion of cortisol in response to intense exercise.Another double-blind study (both test athletes and control athletes not aware of whether they got phosphatidylserine or a placebo [nothing]) found that test athletes given phosphatidylserine recovered faster, got stronger, and stayed healthier than athletes in control groups who were given placebos. If you are serious about your sport and maintaining your progress, discover how much better you can be when you keep your cortisol levels under control.Available sizes: 64 capsulesNUTRITIONAL FACTS Serving size 4 capsulesAmount Per Serving % Daily Value*Phosphorus 15 mg
