Many top researchers believe that intense exercise causes a severe rise in cortisol levels. This increase in cortisol, a powerful catabolic hormone, can impede muscle growth. Elevated cortisol breaks down muscle and blocks protein synthesis while slowing glucose utilization. Cort-Bloc™ suppresses cortisol production and prevents muscle- tissue cannibalization. Cort-Bloc™ is the first supplement medically proven to suppress workout- related cortisol. Lowered cortisol levels enable greater amino acid uptake for enhanced nitrogen retention, accelerated glucose utilization/glycogen synthesis, and increased protein synthesis. In recent clinical studies when phosphatidylserine (herein referred to as PS), the primary active ingredient found in Cort-Bloc™, was administered to strength athletes, cortisol levels were reduced by almost 30%! This can result in more productive workouts and growth. In one study PS promoted a marked reversal of many symptoms associated with depression. PS also stimulated dramatic improvements in memory and retention of information. PS is a natural substance found in cell membranes in the brain, specifically in the cerebral cortex neuronal membrane. It can act as an antioxidant and in doing so may enhance longevity. Benefits • Highly effective cortisol antagonist • Enhances nitrogen retention • Greater amino acid uptake • Helps maximize muscle growth • Reduces stress reactions • Greater rate of recovery • Boosts immunity • Enhances longevity • Can reverse the symptoms of depression • Can boost protein synthesis by blocking stress hormones Ingredients: Medical-grade phosphatidylserine extract with glutamine peptide. Directions: Take 2-4 capsules on workout days. And during intense dieting 1 capsule on non-workout days before bedtime. Recommended use: For all high-intensity bodybuilders. 60 caps/bottle
