As title says - looking at products right now to help with overtraining and see if anyone has success taking anything from supp stores with semi decent results.

Thanks!

For me personally the best was to simply back off a bit of my training schedule, everything comes back nicely in a few days/weeks.

Increasing protein to 1.5g/lb helps me purely anecdotally.

Post workouts do decrease soreness and speed up recovery.

I did not notice any effects, good or bad, from any cortisol lowering or adrenal support supplements.

just take a break?
no rest = no gain or recovery

Ashwagandha (sp) might help. Best thing for OT? Rest and recovery. Plenty of good quality food, don't just look at macros, look at food quality and getting plenty of rest every night.

Someone said upping protein to 1.5g per I assume lean pound. I used to be a 1g/lbw or less guy and take in 100-120g daily but on a lark increased it to 180-200 and, to no surprise, recovered faster and put on more lean weight.

I'm going to try GABA and Magnesium myself.

Magnesium is great, most people are deficient. One study showed if you take it while consuming TONS of fats, it doesn't get absorbed. The study was like 100g (so nearly 1,000 calories) just fat -- which wasn't realistic for a single meal even someone on keto.

Unfortunately, it didn't look at higher fat but realistically high, like 30-50g, something I might actually do in a single meal. So who knows, knowing this though I do take mine away from heavy high fat meals.

I was a little surprised by this, fats often help in absorption of many minerals. And they may still, it might just be that a stupid amount stop helping and actually hurt. Who knows. Again, wish the study looked at a normal but high level of fats.

GABA helps with anxiety, no idea if it helps with cortisol directly. Some sleep aids sneak some in, so might check what else you're taking to make sure you aren't doubling there. I would recommend taking it slowly -- initially, too much at once (for me 2g or pills) got me all tingly in a rather unpleasant way, didn't need to be rushed to the ER or anything dramatic, just I tend to take one at a time and wait if I feel like relaxing GABA-style these days.

Yeah, I'm already going to be either deloading HARD or just taking 3-4 days off and eating as much as I can.

The problem is it's just destroying my mood/energy/motivation right now and wanted to throw somethin in the mix to speed up the process. I'm probably gonna try and grab something from the supp store.My anxiety has been through the roof these past 3 weeks and I feel like my adrenal gland has been working overtime, so sleep has definitely been rough. Working on that.

The Ash product you mentioned popped up on google earlier, looks to be one of the good ones.

I'm also on 2-3 iso100 shakes a day right now - 2 scoops each.

I meant total weight. I’m 200 lb give or take 10 lb depending on wether I’m fat or lean that month lol, when I take brotein to 300 grams, this gives me by far the best recovery and body composition. Tested this out many times. I doubt it’s placebo, Because I certainly don’t want this to be the case, i would rather eat cheaper easier foods, but this is what I observe, and that’s that.

Vitamin C.

how about supps for general anxiety/high cortisol not associated with OT
I'd buy that

Sleep
