Suppress-C: Advanced Cortisol Control Agent
Suppress-C is an advanced cortisol control agent that can be
integrated into fat loss, lean muscle building, and/or post cycle therapy
regimens. Suppress-C’s topical absorption matrix is designed to improve
the bioavailability of the primary active component, B-Adrostenetriol.
What is Cortisol & How it Effects Body Composition:
In order to fully appreciate how much Suppress-C can aid one reach their
body-composition goals, it is important to understand what cortisol is
and how it is detrimental to ones physique.
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’s 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.
Cortisol’s Detrimental Effect on Lean Muscle:
Cortisol breaks down muscle protein into amino acids for use as a fuel
source – in laymen’s terms this means that cotrisol breaks down your
muscle tissue. By helping suppress cortisol levels, it is likely that one
can keep more of their hard earned gains.
Cortisol’s Effect on Fat Storage:
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 ‘pot belly’ appearance,
excess facial fat storage, etc.
It is important to remember though that while cortisol has its
detrimental effects on overall body composition, it does have its useful
applications in the body. That is why it is important to speak in terms of
controlling cortisol rather than blocking it entirely.
