Phosphatidyl Serine and Cutting?

[Big Zeus]

I have 4 weeks until my first show and was just wondering if it would be wise to take PS while cutting and especially on my last DNP cycle in one week? I would think that it would help preserve muscle mass when cutting. What do you guys think?

If you have excessive cortisol, then PS can definitely be beneficial and help preserve LBM. No way of knowing if you have high cortisol unless you do a saliva test, though. One sign of high cortisol is when you wake up you're immediately wide awake.

The saliva test would definitely be worth the money, IMO.

Don't waste your money on a saliva test. Not that they're not good, on the contrary, they are excellent for determining hormone levels. In my opinion, they are superior to serum blood tests for multiple reasons, but that's another post. During the last 4 weeks of your show, I can almost guarantee you that you will have elevated cortisol levels and the PS will definitely help. Not to mention that it has many neuro-protective effects and is a useful supplement to help manage mild to moderate depression. This last month will be a bitch! Use whatever you have to to hold on to as much hard-earned muscle as possible and keep your head screwed on tight! Good Luck
