Cool Down

• Helps temporarily promote relaxation.

Cool Down has been formulated to optimize your body's stress response: Whether you're looking to improve recovery after exercise and increase "gains," optimize resting heart rate variability, reduce evening cortisol, decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, or simply relax after a hard day's work, Cool Down will help!

Metabolic stress: Muscle catabolism is an important component of the metabolic response to stress and injury. Increased sympathetic nervous system activity and the release of cortisol (a catabolic signal) during exercise break down tissues to provide the energy substrates needed for a sustained workload. Although physical stress and catabolism are necessary stimuli for physical adaptation (gains in strength, power, and muscularity), it is essential to limit this stress to the training period.

Psychological stress: We all face acute psychological stress on a daily basis. But when acute psychological stressors become chronic, we run the risk of cortisol dysregulation, anxiety, insomnia, and depressive symptoms.
