of what i was told, this helps lower stress and cortisol levels, and hleps improve your brain function. this intrests me cause before i came to college (im a freshman) i was having trouble sleeping, and im sure it was due to stress. occasionaly its the same thing, so i think this might help. i also want it to help me in my school life, cause college can be tough, and this might help, even though this is not a priority since some hard studying will do the trick, but some help is nice. lastly, i gotta lose 10 pounds for wrestling in a little over a month, and while im losing the body fat, im gonna be honest, i was to see my abs, and this product supposedly known for lowering the cortisol levels can help. i aslo dont want it to come down to me just losing water weight, so that i am not weak.

so, what are your opions on this product? its $30 for 60 capsules, ill be taking 2 a day before i work out.

Secondlyhow should my diet be to help me lose weight in wrestling? its hard to eat good food sometimes bieng with what the college feeds me. i lift 3 times a week for strenght and power, and having wrestling practice 3 times a week. il run a little if neccasary. any help is appreicated. thanks guys.

Doesn't look like enough research has been done to warrant spending money on that product right now. Make it a priority to find a natural way to manage your stress and get more sleep, and you will strengthen your mind much more effectively. There really isn't a shortcut. Meditate, listen to soothing music, and cut out as many things as you can that cause you unneeded stress. But don't experiment with your body on an unproven pill.

As far as your diet goes, again, no shortcuts. You need to eat lots of fruit and veggies, moderate your carb intake with minimal sugar, and get enough consistent protein if you want to keep lean for wrestling. Drink lots of water throughout the day and supplement with a multivitamin if necessary.

ok, sounds good, thanks a lot. on a side note, how much calories should i be consuming a day if im cutting weight? i weigh 174 and am 5"11.

and whne i start gaining back, how much calories should i consume then? thanks.

It depends on how you're cutting the weight. Are you exercising while you're trying to loose weight, or just modifing your diet?

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm There's lots of calculators like this online. These tell you how much you need to eat to maintain your weight, to loose weight you'll need to consume less than that.

That's not true. You need complex carbohydrate (starches) throughout the day, or you risk having low blood sugar, which can make you famished as well as deplete the glycogen in your muscles, which makes for lousy workouts. I eat complex carbs (I keep sugars low except for post-workout), protein, and fat in the right proportions in each meal every three hours during the day and then I don't eat within two hours of bedtime (unless I have had a very late workout, whereas I would need a post-workout meal for recovery).

Don't cut your carbs if you want to be lean, strong, and fit.

ok, and before i go to sleep, drinking a protien shake with water is good to keep my muscles from staying strong right? complex carbs would include things in like pasta and rice right? and simple carbs which i can have at night are in fruit and salad?

I wouldn't do too much protein just before bedtime. I have always found it interrupts my sleep and I don't get the quality I need. Actually what makes me sleep like a baby is pasta and rice about two hours before bedtime. And as far as fruit and veggies go, the more the better, all day.
