Description
- Reducing the potential of storing abdominal fat, or assisting its removal if dieting
- Preventing declining in-gym performances
- Reducing muscle breakdown for energy and Assist in maintaining gains made during an androgen cycle
7-OH (7-alpha-hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone), the patent-pending active ingredient in Lean Xtreme, is a dietary supplement that will help you achieve your goals by controlling cortisol – the roadblock to your success. It will make keeping the muscle you gained and the fat loss you earned through the proper and disciplined combination of weight training, nutrition, rest, and cardiovascular exercise a simple endeavour. And, it will make reaching the next level of fitness easier than you ever imagined.
Cortisol
Cortisol is a stress hormone required for life. It is necessary for many things in the body, such as priming the immune response to infection, inflammation, triggering the movement of nutrients into the bloodstream, and more. The problem lies with exceedingly high levels of cortisol – a state that is detrimental to your goal of adding lean body mass and stripping away unsightly body fat. This is because excessive levels of cortisol promotes the release of catabolic enzymes that breakdown muscle tissue for fuel, disproportionately stores more abdominal fat, degrades in-gym performance, increases appetite, suppresses thyroid function and a whole host of other detrimental effects.
Training itself actually stimulates cortisol release because it views heavy weight training as an “attack” (or stress) to its normal environment. Consequently, it recovers from the attack by repairing muscles to be bigger and stronger to combat the possible event of the same or similar occurrence.
The Role of 7-OH
7-OH helps prevent cortisol concentrations from becoming excessively high, thereby reducing the potential effects of diminishing strength and in-gym performance, excessive abdomen fat accumulation and muscular growth plateaus. It can assist you while dieting to help rid you of stubborn “belly fat” or be used alongside Rebound XT during post-cycle therapy (PCT) to help ensure any gains you made “on cycle” are kept and not lost through poor recovery practice, and excessively high cortisol.
