Do Cortisol Weight Loss Products Work?

There are many different ideas out there when it comes to weight loss.  The idea of cortisol products for weight loss is not a new concept, but there has always been the question asked, "Do cortisol based weight loss products work?"

The answer is actually still under debate, with some medical institutions saying there is no benefit to cortisol based dieting products and others saying there is some. While the debate is going on, you will probably have to see if it works for you from your own experience.

First, it is probably a good idea to see what these types of products are intended for. It has been proven medically that people who have high stress levels are prone to weight gain. The premise is that people produce a hormone called cortisol which it is claimed is responsible for losing weight, and also the prevention of gaining weight.

The companies that sell these products also claim that they offer blood sugar regulation, have beneficial ingredients, increase metabolism and energy.

While there has been some evident to support there is merit to the claim there is an energy boost received by taking these medications, the rest of the claims are still under research.

While cortisol capsules do not contain caffeine, there are many other ingredients that are in it that may not be good for some users in particular. You should read the contents of the capsules prior to purchasing any cortisol product.

If you are considering a change in diet and health and want to use cortisol blockers, it is a good idea to talk to your doctor first. This way if you discuss the possible impacts to your health with your medical professional, you will have insight into his or her professional opinion.

So after saying this, it is hard to find customer testimonials regarding the use of cortisol blocker. This seems unusual considering the products are easily purchased and consumers are notorious for wanting to leave feedback.

When trying to find testimonials you can come across websites that give different advice to handling excesses of cortisol in your body, such as relaxation and time to oneself. These seem like sound advice.

Currently most of the companies that produce cortisol blocking products are going through law suits. The claim is that they used fake before and after pictures, and their claims for weight loss were unsubstantiated. The medical community is taking a standpoint that there is no reliable medical evidence supporting the claims of those companies.

This could be the reason it is very difficult to find customer testimonials regarding product use and successes. With this in mind, you may want to hold off altogether on investing in cortisol products until both: further research has been completed giving medically valid results, and the findings of the lawsuits are made public so you can have a good understanding of what cortisol really does.

With weight loss, you are going to get the best results by pairing a healthy diet with lots of exercise. It is an age old solution, but proven. Here's to having lot of success on your weight loss journey.
