<\/span> <\/div>\r\n
The science has proven that elevated cortisol levels cause stress on your adrenal system causing fatigue, rapid weight gain, stress and exhaustion. This is why The Guerrilla Chemist formulated his newest, highly potent product, Cortibloc™. <\/span><\/div>\r\n
Cortibloc is a premium cortisol manager, blocker and fat burner with proven metabolism boosting support. This product not only helps reduce cortisol levels but aids in relieving stress that makes you body want to retain unwanted fat. Cortibloc contains ultra potent adaptogens allowing your body to become more resistant to stress inducing forces. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
Training hard is a key component in building a dense muscular physique but when the body encounters stress or does not get adequate rest the central nervous system (CNS) becomes fatigued. Over time your body will respond to stress and lack of rest by creating fat deposits in response to your hormones being under stress.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
Cortibloc not only helps keep your cortisol levels down but it also helps burn unwanted fat and boosts your metabolism to new levels. Take on your stress with Cortibloc available now from Chemix!<\/span><\/div>\r\n
More commonly known as <\/SPAN>androstenetriol, 5-etioallocholen-3 beta-7 beta-17beta-triol<\/B> <\/SPAN>is a metabolite of the ubiquitous endogenous steroid, <\/SPAN>dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)<\/B>. DHEA is one of the most abundant endogenous steroids in the human body, playing a critical role in a number of bodily functions. These functions include, though are not limited to, serving as an intermediate (a middle piece) in the synthesis of sex steroids such as testosterone and estrogen, up-regulating (increasing) immune response and countering the immunosuppressive actions of corticosteroids, and maybe the most impressive, directly and strongly suppressing the release of cortisol itself!<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
Though DHEA\u2019s properties have been well-established and understood for decades, derivatives and metabolites of DHEA have more recently been the subject of research in animals and humans \u2013 demonstrating effects that are, at times, many orders of magnitude more significant than the parent compound (up to 100x as potent!).<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
Like DHEA, cortisol is one of the body\u2019s most abundant and important endogenous steroids. While detailing in full the expansive list of cortisol\u2019s functions is impossible, we can generally say that cortisol\u2019s role in the human body is to break down bodily tissue and nutrients for the purpose of energy provision (to be catabolic), to act as an immunosuppressive, and to regulate blood sugar. Cortisol fulfills these functions by inducing gluconeogenesis (the breakdown of non-glucose intermediates, such as amino acids in muscle tissue, into glucose) and glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen into glucose), inhibiting peripheral glucose utilization, and inhibiting cell lines critical to the body\u2019s immune response.<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
<\/SPAN> <\/DIV>
In less complex terms, we can simply say that cortisol is responsible for inhibiting many of the processes that we as fitness enthusiasts want to start, and for starting many of the processes that we want to inhibit. Cortisol plays a role in:<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\u2022 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Preventing muscle protein synthesis.<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\u2022 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>The breakdown of glycogen (the compound responsible for that \"full look\u201d).<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
\u2022 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>Suppressing the immune processes involved in muscle growth.<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
<\/SPAN> <\/DIV>
While these are necessary functions, their overexpression is precisely the opposite of what we want \u2013 in fact, certain trials in humans have shown that an increase in plasma cortisol within the physiologic range increases proteolysis (breakdown of proteins) and degrades whole body amino acid synthesis! That is bad, bad news.<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
Enter DHEA and its metabolite, androstenetriol. In emerging animal literature, both androstenetriol and its metabolites have been shown to possess very potent anti-glucocorticoid activity \u2013 remembering that cortisol is the parent compound for this group \u2013 and anti-immunosuppressive actions in a number of different tissue types. In fact, androstenetriol is one of the most potent anti-glucocorticoids the body produces \u2013 exerting almost unbelievable effects in certain pro-inflammatory cell lines.<\/SPAN><\/DIV>
Stress-Relieving Nootropic to Put You in a Better Mood Have you ever felt like the weight of the world was sitting on top of your chest? You’re not alone. And let’s face it, life doesn’t get any easier the older you get. Stress affects the best of us. Unfortunately, stress can cause some detrimental mental and physical issues if not controlled properly and can negatively alter your entire day. That’s where Glaxon Serenity comes to the rescue.<\/p>\r\n
When under a great deal of stress, a hormone called Cortisol is produced. This stress hormone can cause decrements in muscle tissue, cause you to store body fat more easily, increase hunger, as well as alter your mood and judgment. To put it bluntly, elevated levels of cortisol can not only ruin your day but also ruin your physique.<\/p>\r\n
Glaxon Serenity is a powerful nootropic that can help you manage your stress levels, put you in a better mood, and provide you with a sense of well-being. The specific formula behind Serenity can allow you to take the edge off, relax, regain your cognition and mental acuity, and even help you get a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\r\n
WHY & HOW IT WORKS WHAT IS IT? Serenity is a product designed to normalize excessive physical and mental stress through multiple mechanisms of regulating Cortisol activity. We’ve combined Phosphatidylserine with Quercetin and Magnolol\/Honokiol to help regulate cortisol activity and decrease stress. Finally, Serenity also contains a new trademarked form of Ashwagandha named Shoden®, which actually contains 35% Withanolides, which is currently the highest standardization available in nutritional supplements.<\/p>\r\n
WHY WOULD I TAKE IT? Sometimes either excessive psychological stress or overtraining can cause an increase in a catabolic hormone, Cortisol. Cortisol can cause decrements in muscle tissue and also make the body more susceptible to storing fat. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can also cause alterations in mood or judgement. That’s why we’ve created Serenity - to dampen the effects of excessive cortisol and improve mood and sense of well-being.<\/p>\r\n
HOW DOES THIS WORK? Serenity works by modulating three separate mechanisms within the cortisol production pathway. The leading hypothesis on Phosphatidylserine is that it has an inhibitory effect on secretion of ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) - which actually stimulates cortisol production. Secondly, in an attempt to inhibit 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase we’ve employed Quercetin and Magnolol to block this enzyme’s ability to convert cortisone into cortisol. Quercetin also utilizes a secondary mechanism that inhibits steroid 11β-hydroxylase, which is an enzyme that creates cortisol from 11-deoxycorticosterone. Then finally, we utilize Shoden®, a form of Ashwagandha with 35% Withanolide content to also support further stress reduction.<\/p>\r\n
HOW MUCH SHOULD I TAKE? Serenity is best taken approximately one hour before desired effect to relieve stress - 3 capsules per serving. Please note: do not exceed three doses in 24 hours.<\/p>\r\n

ENDOAMP MAX OPTIMIZES YOU EndoAmp Max combines the synergy of two patented ingredients, SerinAid and AlphaSize, to take your mental and physical performance to the next level.<\/p>\r\n
EndoAmp Max is a naturally occurring phospholipid complex, designed to minimize the cortisol increase after exercise while boosting testosterone and growth hormone (GH) response.<\/p>\r\n
EndoAmp Max is a naturally occurring phospholipid complex, designed to minimize the cortisol increase after exercise while boosting testosterone and growth hormone (GH) response. Each dose includes 800mg of pure phosphatidylserine and 600mg of alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (A-GPC 50%). At the recommended dose of 3 caps daily, EndoAmp Max will last 30 days. EndoAmp Max is known as an endocrine amplifier because it can increase beneficial hormones such as testosterone & GH while preventing the unwanted spike in cortisol associated with exercise and other stressors..<\/p>\r\n
How does EndoAmp Max work? EndoAmp Max works by supplying the body with vital phospholipids and neurotransmitters, thus reducing the requirement for cortisol following strenuous physical or mental activity and supporting higher testosterone and GH output. (11,21,37,38) Increased GH and testosterone levels help promote faster workout recovery, increased muscle growth and enhanced fat loss. (36)<\/p>\r\n
How does EndoAmp Max Support Testosterone production? The active ingredient phosphatidylserine (PS) prevents the causes of cortisol level increase after exercise, and is a vital nutrient that supports testicular function and testosterone production. (11,37) Each serving of EndoAmp Max includes a clinically proven dose of 800mg of PS. A recent study examined the effects of 10 days of 600mg\/day PS supplementation on testosterone and cortisol during and after exercise. (37) The researchers found that PS supplementation increased testosterone 78% over the placebo group, while completely blunting the cortisol response to exercise. When analyzed for the testosterone to cortisol (T:C) ratio and compared to placebo, the PS group had a 3,354% higher T:C! In another human study, hormone levels where examined during two weeks of intense weight training. The group receiving the 800mg of PS had higher testosterone levels and lower cortisol levels, compared to the group receiving the placebo. (11) Another study showed that 800mg of PS reduced cortisol levels 30% (compared to the placebo group) after intense cycling exercise. (21) It’s been hypothesized that PS supplementation minimizes cortisol secretion by providing the necessary phospholipids required for cellular membrane structure and regulatory functions, thus reducing the requirement for bodily breakdown and nutrient displacement. (17,25,36,40) Research also suggests that PS supports testosterone production by increasing the testes sensitivity to luteinizing hormone (LH) and increases testicular steroidogenesis - aka the creation of testosterone. (1-11, 19-26)<\/p>\r\n
How does EndoAmp Max support Growth Hormone (GH) production? The active ingredient alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (A-GPC) increases the synthesis and release of an important neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine which enhances GH production following exercise. (38-43) Each serving of EndoAmp Max provides a proven dose of A-GPC. A recent study examined GH release in resistance trained men after supplementation with a single 600mg dose of A-GPC. When supplemented with A-GPC, GH levels peaked 68% higher than placebo following exercise. The peak bench press force was also 14% greater with A-GPC than placebo. (38) Similar results have been found in another human study with young and elderly subjects. In the young subjects (30-34 yrs), A-GPC lead to a 40% higher increase in GH over the non-A-GPC group. In the elderly subjects (80-82 yrs.), A-GPC caused a 140% higher increase in GH over the non-A-GPC group. (39) The research suggests that A-GPC amplifies the release of GH following growth-hormone-releasing-hormone (GHRH) stimulation. It was proposed that A-GPC supplementation increases acetylcholine levels in the brain, thus enhancing pituitary sensitivity and amplifying the release of GH from GHRH stimulation. (39) Another mechanism by which A-GPC may increase GH secretion is by improving the fluidity of pituitary membranes, thus increasing signal transduction at the pituitary level. (39-41) In laymen’s terms, EndoAmp Max increases the amount of GH secreted from exercise.<\/p>\r\n
What are some signs that my cortisol is too high? Excess fat distribution around the face and\/or abdominal area (16) Low Libido (33,34) Low Testosterone* (2,3,10) Low GH (Growth Hormone) (12-14) Decreased insulin sensitivity (15) Suppressed immune system (12, 15) Mental depression (34) Easily fatigued or exhausted (34,35) Prolonged recovery from exercise (35) *Cortisol dominance is a primary cause of hypogonadism and male impotence. Keep in mind, it is normal and healthy to have elevated cortisol prior to waking from a night's rest, cortisol increase in evening is part of the body's natural regeneration process. However, it is not healthy to maintain elevated cortisol levels throughout the day.<\/p>\r\n
What if I already have low or normal cortisol? Will EndoAmp Max still benefit me? Although seemingly contradictory, the answer is yes. Fortifying the body with the vital phospholipids and nutrients contained in EndoAmp Max will support the proper physiological structure & function of the body.<\/p>\r\n
Can I stack EndoAmp Max with other testosterone support supplements? Yes, EndoAmp Max can enhance the effectiveness of other testosterone boosting supplements by amplifying the testes ability to produce testosterone. This synergistic effect makes EndoAmp Max an important addition to our Testosterone Recovery Stack. It also makes EndoAmp Max a vital part of post cycle therapy (PCT), when preserving muscle mass and restoring natural testosterone production is of the utmost importance.<\/p>\r\n

Cortisol & Its Effects on Body-Composition \u2013 Further Elaboration: Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands, and is considered to be a stress hormone. When the body is under stress (either physical or psychological), it produces excess cortisol to try to help combat the stress. The body\u2019s way of helping to combat the stressors is by liberating energy stores. Cortisol assists in that process by breaking down muscle protein into amino acids and stored fat into fatty acids as fuel sources for the body. This process is detrimental to overall body composition because it translates into increased fat storage and decreased lean muscle tissue.<\/DIV>
Cortisol\u2019s Detrimental Effect on Lean Muscle:<\/P>
Cortisol breaks down muscle protein into amino acids for use as a fuel source \u2013 in laymen\u2019s terms this means that cortisol breaks down your muscle tissue. By helping suppress cortisol levels, it is likely that one can keep more of their hard earned gains.<\/P>
Cortisol\u2019s Effect on Fat Storage:<\/P>
Cortisol assists in breaking down stored body-fat into fatty acids so that the body can have an immediate energy source to help combat the stressors. This at first sounds like a good thing, but the long term effect of this action is these fatty acids being stored as the most easily accessible type of body-fat for the same future use, visceral fat. Visceral fat is the type of fat that is located around the internal organs; it is also the type of fat most closely associated with a variety of health conditions including heart disease. Also, by altering fat distribution from subcutaneous fat to more cortisol sensitive areas, physical appearance can be detrimentally affected. For example, cortisol sensitive areas include the abdominal \u2018pot belly\u2019 appearance, excess facial fat storage, etc.<\/P>
It is important to note that while cortisol has negative effects on overall body-composition, it is not entirely negative as it does have useful applications in the body. That is why it is important to look at cortisol in terms of controlling it, rather than eliminating it.<\/P>
When Can Reduce XT be used? Cutting\/Fat Loss Cycles:<\/P>
Reduce XT can be used during periods of cutting and fat loss cycles for the purpose of helping promote fat loss, as well as for helping retain and build lean muscle.<\/P>
Post Cycle Therapy (PCT):<\/P>
Reduce XT can be stacked with Liver Assist XT and Inhibit-E for a more complete, comprehensive Post Cycle Therapy regimen. Due to Reduce XT being anti-catabolic, it is very important during this time period for helping maintain gains from your cycle, as well as helping to continue to build lean muscle.<\/P>
Lean Bulking & Recomposition Cycles:<\/P>
The same reasons that make Reduce XT desirable during cutting and fat loss cycles make it very appealing during lean bulking and recomposition cycles as well.<\/P>
Bulking Cycles:<\/P>
Reduce XT can be used during bulking cycles to help maximize lean muscle and strength gains.<\/P>
Something to think about: Building lean muscle and losing fat are achieved through hard work in both diet and exercise, but your body\u2019s response mechanism for putting it through this hard work is not what many people realize it to be. The body inadvertently works against you and sabotages you from being able to obtain the maximum benefit from all of your hard work. You work hard through diet and exercise to build lean muscle, but your body releases a hormone to break it down in response to your hard work. You eat right and\/or train properly while trying to lose fat, but your body releases a hormone that can cause you to store fat in response to your hard work. It is almost like running in place in terms of reaching your body composition goals; you try really hard, but you just don\u2019t get anywhere.<\/P>
This is where Reduce XT comes into play. By helping control cortisol levels, Reduce XT may help allow individuals to maximize their results from their diet and exercise routines.<\/P>
Stacking & Synergy: Reduce XT is a very versatile product and can be stacked with a variety of other SNS product for improved synergistic results. For fat loss and recomposition regimens, Reduce XT can be stacked with Lean Edge, GlycoPhase, CLA Xtreme, RK-500 Xtreme, SYN-30, or select other SNS products. For lean bulking, recomposition, and bulking cycles, Reduce XT can be stacked with SNS Growth Factor XT, X-Gels, GlycoPhase, Focus XT, or select other SNS products. Also, as part of a comprehensive Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) regimen, Reduce XT can be stacked with Inhibit-E, Inhibit-P, &\/or Liver Assist XT.<\/DIV>

Stress & Fat Storage: <\/B><\/P>
You often hear about how stress can make you gain weight.<\/P>
In today's world, how many of us can really say that we aren't under a lot of stress? <\/P>
At first glance, many people tend to think when they hear about stress making you gain weight that this is referring to people that tend to eat more or eat poorly as a means of coping with stress, but that isn't always the case. To understand how stress can contribute to fat storage, one has to understand the basics of cortisol. <\/P>
<\/B><\/P>
