Adrenal support

[Paula]

Has anyone taken adrenal supplements? I've heard that stress can cause tired adrenals. ;D

I found an adrenal supplement online that has these ingredients listed:

"Freeze-dried Adrenal Cortex from sheep (soluble fractionation), Echinacea Augustifolia, prunus spp., Lomatium Dissectum Root Isolate (Kreb Concentrate-2%), all in a base of lactose and lactase. NOT FOR LACTOSE INTOLERANT!"

Now, I'm thinking that adrenal cortex from sheep just sounds gross to be putting into my body. But I'm curious to know if any of you have tried it and think it works.

Thanks!

The only thing that I can say is that there must be other ways to go! I did a quick search for borage. Here are two that might give you some info to get you started in your search. www.sunriseherbfarm.com/remedies.html

I copied and pasted this description and ingredients from the company that I use. I don't know much about sheep glandulars, but I do know a bit about porcine and bovine glandulars and they work very well on humans. I know we have briefly talked about your adrenals in the past Paula and I really feel that you would benefit from a support .

The product below is $15.95 for 60 which would last you a month. Not too bad if it helps you.

Thank you so much for the information.

Tina, where do you get that product?

Dandelion, those websites were very helpful (the one in particular that mentioned I need to be eating more fresh fruits and veggies).

[Mom2boys]

That one is from Nature's Sunshine. You have to be a member to get that price, but I think I can order it and have it shipped to you.

[Paula]

Thank you, Tina. I'll let you know when I'm able to do it.

Tina,
Would it possible for you to order this for my dh? I'm about 90% sure Nature's Sunshine is GF, can you verify that for me?

Thanks,
