hello, i , like so many other women have been fightiing overweight my
whole life, now though, hitting my 30s it is more than glamour
worrying me, i would like to know if it is safe to take cortizide
while dieting?

Cortizide, like many other diet pills, works mainly by caffeine, as
well as by ingredients that act as fillers, vitamins, and minerals.
The "natural" ingredients are certain amino acids, fatty acids, and
other isolated compounds that have some evidence that they can lower
blood pressure, inhibit cholesterol formation, thin the blood, etc. I
cannot find any veritable study that concludes that it antagonizes
cortisol....  The only real proven way that they inhibit cortisol is
by the placebo effect-- people taking the pills feel a sense of relief
that they are taking a pill to supposedly control cortisol, as so
they're not as stressed, and so they don't release as much cortisol.
Cortizide seems to be mostly safe... except for the sitosterol
ingredient. This is a plant version of our cholesterol, and it
inhibits our making of cholesterol... but too much inhibition can be
very bad, since much of a cell's membrane must be made up of
cholesterol. Furthermore, sitosterol can promote apoptosis (programmed
cell death) and lower glutathione, which is a molecule made by cells
for antioxidant properties. Well, I hope this is somehow useful info
to you.
