well, I just started reading info on it myself. It is supposed block/reduce cortisol and increase DHEA levels.

I put my body through a lot of stress, both bulking AND cutting. Stress = cortisol, which leads to a catabolic state.

It is a relatively new product, and has been used to help people with stress related symptoms: restlessness, sleep disorders, irritability, tense muscles.

I dont have THOSE symptoms, but I was thinking this product might be an asset for BB due to the stress and increased cotisol levels of training. I have not seen it used for BB, but I think it would something to consider? The reports on relora seem to be founded on quatitative tests and it seems to have worked for reducing the stress levels of patients taking it.

I was just wondering if anyone here has experience taking this supp and would be able to give some pros and cons about it based on personal experience. I would prefer personal opinions over the reports.

does physical stress on the body produce that much cortisol? I always thought of increased cortisol secretions coming from mental stress.
