Cortisol levels and slow metabolic rate
I'm a 24 y/o girl. I struggle with my weight, along with cortisol levels and slow metabolic rate. I weigh around 88kg, and my height is 5'8.5
I go to the gym regularly, and follow intermittent fasting 18-6 hour.
Someone recommended L-Lysine to me for increased protein synthesis and controlled cortisol levels. Do you think it's safe for me to take this supplement? I checked in the markets, and 1000mg L-Lysine Supplement is available around me. Can I start taking this supplement, 1 tablet a day?

Hlo ,do u stuck with your weight loss ,and struggling through muscle gain and apart from what type of training your undergoing in gym Resistance training or cardiorespiratory training,from how many days you are stuck with the weight,apart from all these questions safe or unsafe depends on requirement but not advised for weight loss or to increase muscle mass.
A proper diet can give you the required lysine and note it lysine alone will not increase your protein synthesis and cortisol levels are elevated due to imbalanced exercise and diet routine,, probably Strength training without a proper diet can also increase your cortisol levels
Next Steps
Do not cross a 60 min of workout session, prolonged exercise can cause increased cortisol
Health Tips
To increase protein synthesis u need EAAS that u can achieve through the food Alone ,if your a vegetarian supplementation works to achieve goals little faster

Hi,
First don't rush what someone has said if not medical professional, what supplement you should take or what you should not decided by many factors, Do a personal consultation before taking any Supplements and avoid intermittent fasting at very first stage without guidance.
