Ufofortunately,are body normal functions have been distruped by various types of stresses. In our current high-stress culture the body`s stress response is activated so often that body doesn`t always have a chance to return to normal, resulting in a state of chronic stress.
Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream have been shown to have negative effects. Althrough stress isn`t the only reason that cortisol is secreted in the bloodstrem. Anyone who trains hard may not consistently eat well enough to make those workouts pay maximum dividends.
Cortisol it has been termed the stress hormone because its also secreted in hiher levels during the body`s Fight or flight response to stress.
The answer for those with cortisol problem is adaptogenic. Adaptogens are substances that help the body respond and adapt to stress. They normalize bodily functions that have been distrupted by verious type of stresses. Weight training is one such stress. Other than the brain,the most important target organ for adaptogens are the adrenal glands, because of all the hormones they produce and because of the overriding influence on metabolism and so many other aspects of physical and mental functions. That`s one reason you have to be smart when using thermogenics, stimulants, prohormones- they also affect the adrenal glands. These glands are too critical to push all the time If you deplet tham, the resulting mental irritation, loss of muscle, rgression of strenght and loss of sleep and can take a long time to recoup.
If you can normalize adrenal hormone output, virtually all physiological functions improve from sex and sleep to immune response. For bodybuilding purposes,normalizing adrenal output can increase the potentional for fat loss and muscle growth.
I use Humanofort to help the body to regulate my adrenal functions. Humanofort is a adaptogenic extract containing oligopeptides(short chains of amino acids) naturally occoring growth factors that influence, directly or indirectly, virtually every major biocemical pathway in the body, enhancing the immune system in the process. This is important since nourishing the immune system is crucial to bodybuilders serious about getting huge, rather than sick, frustrated, irritable and even skinnier.
I hope this is helpfull.
