Hey. I'm an ectomorph trying to put on some mass, and I've made really slow progress despite eating pretty big. I think that I don't recover fast enough. I work in a large warehouse where I am constantly standing all day and lifting boxes and moving things around. I work 8:30-5:00 Monday to Friday. I think my cortisol levels are pretty high from the stress of going to the gym and working in a strenuous job, and just not being able to recover quick enough. I recently looked into taking phosphatidylserine as a way to reduce my cortisol levels. I read in the article that 600mg a day is a good dosage to reduce cortisol levels by 35% or so.

Along the lines of JB's nutrient timing, I was wondering if there was a best time to take PS to maximize the reduction in cortisol levels. I workout at around 8:00pm and wakeup at 6:00am.
I was thinking of taking 100mg at 1:00pm after a half day at work. Then 200mg at 5:00pm. 100mg at 8:00pm when I workout. Then 200mg before bed. But I really have no idea if the timing matters or not. Hopefully I can get this figured out! thanks!
