About the Product
Amix Cortisol Blocker is a food supplement in capsules designed to support the control of cortisol levels – the main chronic stress hormone – and promote a more favourable hormonal environment for muscle recovery, psychological well-being, and the maintenance of lean mass. The formula combines 6 active ingredients without stimulants: Phosphatidylserine 400 mg, Bacopa monnieri 200 mg, L-Tryptophan 200 mg, L-Tyrosine 200 mg, Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) 100 mg, and Vitamin B6 10 mg. A formula to support the stress-cortisol-recovery axis, aimed at athletes with high training volume, professionals with high chronic stress loads, or anyone looking to optimise their stress response without resorting to stimulants.
Benefits
Phosphatidylserine (400 mg) for cortisol modulation and cognitive support: Phosphatidylserine is a structural phospholipid of neuronal cell membranes, with the strongest scientific evidence base of all active ingredients in the cortisol support category. Clinical studies show that phosphatidylserine supplementation – especially at doses of 400 to 800 mg/day – significantly reduces the cortisol response induced by intense physical exercise, attenuating the post-workout cortisol peak and accelerating the return to baseline values. This effect is particularly valuable for athletes with high training volume, where chronic exposure to repeated cortisol peaks can compromise recovery, sleep, body composition, and immune function. Additionally, phosphatidylserine improves working memory, cognitive focus, and reaction time, as documented by multiple clinical studies in healthy adults.
Bacopa monnieri for anxiety reduction and neurological protection: Bacopa monnieri is an adaptogen with a long tradition in Ayurvedic medicine and growing modern scientific support. Its active compounds – bacosides A and B – modulate the serotonergic and cholinergic neurotransmission systems, reducing anxiety, improving memory and learning, and exerting relevant neuroprotective effects in contexts of chronic stress. In a sports context, Bacopa can contribute to reducing pre-competition anxiety and improving focus and mental clarity during periods of intensive training.
L-Tryptophan for serotonin synthesis and sleep quality: L-Tryptophan is the amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin – the main regulators of mood, appetite, and the sleep-wake cycle. High and chronic cortisol levels inhibit the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin, creating a vicious cycle of stress, negative mood, and sleep disturbance. L-Tryptophan supplementation supports serotonergic synthesis, contributing to improved mood, reduced food anxiety, and sleep quality – a critical factor for muscle recovery and hormonal regulation in athletes.
L-Tyrosine for dopaminergic neurotransmission and focus under stress: L-Tyrosine is the precursor to dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline – neurotransmitters fundamental for motivation, focus, and adaptive response to stress. In situations of acute and chronic stress, catecholamine levels can decline, resulting in cognitive fatigue, decreased motivation, and difficulty concentrating. L-Tyrosine supplementation replenishes the substrate for catecholamine synthesis, improving cognitive performance and resilience to stress without the stimulating effects of caffeine.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) and Vitamin B6 for metabolic and antioxidant support: ALA is a universal antioxidant – soluble in both water and fat – with the ability to regenerate other endogenous antioxidants (glutathione, vitamins C and E) and to modulate insulin sensitivity. Vitamin B6 is an essential cofactor in the metabolism of the amino acids present in the formula, including the conversion of L-Tryptophan to serotonin and L-Tyrosine to dopamine, maximising the effectiveness of the other ingredients.
Usage
Recommended dose: Take the recommended capsules with water, preferably after training or at night before bed, to maximise support for recovery and sleep quality. Consult the packaging for the specific dose.
Cycles of use: Use continuously during periods of high training load, professional stress, or sleep disturbance. Can be used in combination with other recovery supplements without risk of interaction with stimulants, as the formula is completely free of caffeine and other CNS stimulants.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. Keep out of reach of children.
