What can do to reduce cortisol?

Maybe the causes of my high cortisol levels:
-training to a behind the failure every set
-training high volume to failure
-always stressed
-im worried about everything

Training, diet, caffeine, pre-workout supps, and of course AAS (androgens) especially Trenbolone can increase levels because it's extremely aggressive can result in a decrease peak of plasma corticosterone concentrations by way of potentially disabling HSD-11B or 11B-HSD which are hosts of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of cortisone to active cortisol.. This will cause an increase and than a crash, Almost inducing a state of adrenal fatigue by other methods of action, basically inducing adrenal fatigue like symptoms..You can experience this while on most AAS "especially" Trenbolone, drol and some pro-hormones (MT1/SD), there can be a slew of rather aggressive sides not only from it's toxicity to the liver but through this other indirect course of action yielding a slew of undesired sides in "some" users....

I would suggest adding some DHEA with some sublingual vitamin b12 complex and take it from there.. Try and cut back on caffeine, in fact I would suggest extracting it from your daily life just for now.. Dial back training just slightly.

An other suggestion this is HUGE, you may want to add some low to a moderate dose of GHRP-6 and/or Hexarelin or even TAD-600, these peptides and Glutathione both act in a similar mechanisms and have been known to increase the release of ACTH which can improve the serum plasma levels with cortisol, restoring it to a health functional state, hindering any "halotestin or AAS" related sides that may be present by way of adrenal fatigue like symptoms..

Highly suggest using injection Tad-600 or oral glutathione, increasing Glutathione levels will removes radicals from the cells and will rejuvenate and refresh the system..

DHEA supplementation lowers cortisol levels

In small quantities the stress hormone cortisol is amazingly useful, but continuously raised levels of it are bad... for just about everything. We've been doing some digging around in old scientific journals, and fortunately there's an easy way to reduce the amount of cortisol in your body by thirty to forty percent. Take 25 mg DHEA daily, and Bob's your [anticatabolic] uncle.

25 mg DHEA/d
The cortisol-reducing aspect of DHEA supplementation is not our own discovery. A reader sent us the YouTube clip below, in which Jeff Anderson advises men who want to lose fat in the chest area to take 25 mg DHEA daily. Fat deposition in this area is partly due to cortisol, says Anderson, and you can reduce your cortisol level by taking a low dose of DHEA every day.



Study 1
Whether men can actually lose pec fat by taking DHEA we don’t know, but the idea that DHEA supplementation reduces the cortisol level holds water. At least, we found a study done in 2003, in which researchers at the University of Pittsburgh got 69-year-old men and women to take 200 mg DHEA every day for 15 days. [J Clin Psychopharmacol. 2003 Feb;23(1):96-9.]

Supplementation started on day 8 and continued until day 22. The bars in the figures below show the amount of cortisol in the blood of the participants on each of those days.

The reduction in cortisol level as a result of the DHEA was greater in the women than in the men. Although the men's cortisol levels did go down, the reduction was not statistically significant on all days.

Study 2
A daily dose of 200 mg DHEA is on the high side. Researchers use a dose of 50 mg DHEA per day in most studies. In 2006 Italian researchers published the results of a study on the effect of a considerably lower dose of DHEA on cortisol levels. [Gynecol Endocrinol. 2006 Nov;22(11):627-35.]

The Italians gave their test subjects – women aged between 50 and 55 [dark bars on the figure below] and between 60 and 65 [light coloured bars] – a daily 25 mg DHEA for a period of 12 months. 0 = cortisol level before DHEA supplementation started; 2 = after 3 months; 3 = after 6 months; 4 = after 12 months.

Image
The figure above shows how DHEA supplementation may work. It shows the effect of the administration of 10 micrograms ACTH on the cortisol level, before administration, and after 3, 6 and 12 months. ACTH is the messenger hormone that stimulates the adrenals to release cortisol. ACTH secretion increases under stress. It seems that DHEA supplementation makes the adrenals less sensitive to ACTH.

Conclusion
If you're thinking of trying to lower your cortisol level by taking DHEA, you'll probably notice most effect if you take the prohormone before you go to sleep. During your sleep your DHEA level will peak. Your cortisol level will also peak while you’re asleep, so inhibiting the cortisol will be most effective at that moment. Sounds logical, doesn't it?

Lets try to find here DHEA , i know blackstone labs from Pj Braun have great produts using it, and Aaron Singerman Redcoon 1

Do you think Phosphadilserine is good to reduce cortisol? i use in the past but not cheap
