Blocking Cortisol

[follijinxed]

If stress invokes more cortisol, which has an adverse effect on hairloss. Then what does everyone think about taking cortislim (http://www.cortislim.com) or something similar to keep cortisol levels under control?

My life has been very stressful since I was about 15, when I first started losing my hair. Being an engineering major in college (graduated last year) didn't make things any better.

please do tell us how your life has been "stressful". Im always intrigued to find out exactly why people think their lives are so stressful and moreso than anyone else's whose been through school and the everyday hectic world.
Have you witness ur sister attempt suicide, get panic attacks for a year straight every night, have anxiety attacks for no reason ...i mean cause when i say my life was stress, it was stress. Now do tell me how do you think you release more cortisol than the average person.

Not here to say my life is any harder than anyone elses. Lots of people had it harder than me, I could care less. Just want to know what anyones opinions on reducing cortisol are.

I'm not really thinking about taking anything, my life is 100x less stressful now than it was.

How come when somebody's bitchin about something, which they have the right to, their always someone to scoop the day on how they got it worse...

Stress affects diffenernt people in different ways. Something that is no big deal to one person may be hard to cope with for someone else. There is no need to judge whether or not someone is justified in considering themselves stressed out.

BTW I had the same thought on the crapper this morning about taking cortislim. My hair loss certainly acclerated due to "stress" because it all fell out in 3-4 months and I was left with a ton of thin hairs that were thick enough to actually be thinned out by a stylist in Feb. How much is this cortislim anyhow? What type of effects does it have on people?

The only reason is because some people have no idea what "stress" really is...im not knocking anyones life, but i will say getting "nervous" for an exam will NOT make your hair fall out...Otherwise wed all be losing our hair since we entered elementary school.
Its ridiculous people try to justify anything ...i just wanted to hear HOW hard his life was and how much stress in reality he was going through...i guess its like a slap in the face to hear someone say how stressed out they are because they have a tough major in school..unless you have an axiety disorder in correlation to your incredibly hard major, this really wont affect your hair people have to realize this...

JayB, get over it man. Not going to go into my life story. I do know people that have had nervous breakdowns and had to get on meds etc or drop out of school altogether because engineering is so difficult. This is not, however the only reason I used to stress. I said it didn't help things. I could care less how hard your life was too, so please dont post about it in this thread. If your life was so hard, then get on cortislim and all your hair will grow back. 8)

If stress invokes more cortisol, which has an adverse effect on hairloss.....

While stress/disease can cause teleogen effluvium it does not cause male pattern baldness. I am also unaware of any evidence that it is the cortisol response to stress that causes the Telogen Effluvium.. If it is (big if) then it is another unproven step to say that cortislim affects cortisol. It has "corti" in the name, but no evidence that it actually affects cortisol release that I can find. Its ingredients are listed below... which of them are really active or helpful? The advertising campain sounds like a scam...

# Vitamin C
# Calcium
# Chromium
# Green Tea Leaf Extract
# Bitter Orange Peel Extract
# Magnolia Bark Extract
# Beta-Sitosterol
# L-theanine
# Banaba Leaf Extract
# Citrus Aurantium (5% Synephrine)
# Vanadyl Sulfate

Yeah you hear about it on the radio just as much as avacor. It probably is a scam but its the only advertised cortisol blocker that I had heard about.

This article had sparked my whole interest: http://www.hairlosshelp.com/hair_loss_n ... =6/22/2005

And I also expect that stress will cause Telogen Effluvium and not male pattern baldness, but Telogen Effluvium still means less hair.

Yes, stress can affect hairloss, and not just via Telogen Effluvium.

But that's beside the point. I've read on another site how it's theorized that cortisol desensitizes cell receptors to insulin, resulting in higher blood-sugar levels (long article, so just do searches for "insulin").

And we've all read that there may be a relationship between hair loss and insulin resistance, right?
