Pure Encapsulations Adrenal Cortex Supplement – Supplement to Support Cortisol Health, Energy Levels, Stress Moderation, and Gland Function – with Bovine Whole Adrenal & Cortex – 60 Capsules*

Good natural supplement. Reprital manufacturer.

I felt very clean energy for few hours, and a clear head. generally organ supplements or fresh organ meat cooked with spices are very good for the body, but there’s always gonna be that one person who gets adverse effects, for me this is working very good, I have tried adrenal caps from Thorne and solaray brands, they are okay, but these are the best compared to them. If your adrenals are weak then the effects will be mild in the beginning, if they are ok, then you might feel a rush of energy.

I was expecting just desiccated adrenal not both adrenal and adrenal cortex. Nonetheless, this supplement really helped me. Day 1, like others said, it’s like a freight train or long term espresso rush (I had a hard time sleeping). Day 2, I felt wired but not like the day before (I still had a hard time sleeping). Day 3, it settled down even more (and I was able to sleep some). Day 4, it seemed to even out and was not noticeable – but I was more alert and had energy, and was calmer. Day 5, I was very even and some of my more bothersome side effects had completely subsided (sweating, oily skin). I am only taking it in the morning, I haven't increased my dosage yet.I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and I am on prescription medication for it. Despite the medication, I still didn’t feel my best. I still just have no energy and still had symptoms that are as indicative of adrenal fatigue as well as Thyroiditis. Many physicians are loathed to treat “adrenal fatigue” with prednisone because it’s not a recognized illness. Back in the olden days they used to treat any adrenal disease with desiccated animal adrenals.A NIH article THE INFLUENCE OF THE THYROID ON ADRENAL CORTICAL FUNCTION by Ralph E. Peterson (1953) states that “The thyrotoxic (hyperthyroid) individual is capable of manufacturing each day a quantity of cortisol that in a normal subject would quickly induce a state of hypercorticism. It might be postulated that if the hyperthyroid state were severe enough, as in a thyroid crisis, the rate of transformation of secreted cortisol might exceed the capacity of the adrenal to synthesize cortisol, and thus adrenal insufficiency might develop in the presence of an overproduction of cortisol.” (And, conversely, a hypothyroid individual does not manufacture enough cortisol.)Dr. Lam on his website states that “Adrenal weakness progresses through stages as the body de-compensates. It is the body's strategy to return to a state of simplicity from a life that is too complex for the body to handle. Despite rising ACTH, the adrenals cannot keep up with the body's demand for cortisol. This may happen over a few years. Total cortisol output is reduced, and DHEA falls far below average. The nighttime cortisol level is usually reduced as the HPA axis "crash". The body is unable to maintain homeostasis. Early in this stage, mild symptoms characteristic of the first and second stages of Adrenal Fatigue become persistent or chronic (Phase A). As the condition gets worse, multiple endocrine axis imbalances tend to occur (Phase B). This manifests in the form of ovarian-adrenal-thyroid (OAT) axis imbalance in females and adrenal-thyroid axis imbalance in males. The body is in a constant state of mild to moderate fatigue in phase A and B.“As the body continues its downward path of impaired function, it gathers steam. The body becomes compromised in trying to maintain the fine controls of homeostasis. Normal equilibrium is lost. The body enters a state of reactive disequilibrium (Phase C). Severe fatigue is the norm for those with Phase C.“Your body will try to maintain equilibrium with the activation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). However, the body is too fatigued. Other pathways of the NEM stress response are damaged as well. impaired metabolic, clearance, and detoxification pathways give rise to paradoxical, unpredictable, and exaggerated outcomes. Reactive sugar imbalances, fragile blood pressure, postural hypotension, heart palpitations, POTS, dizziness, anxiety reactions, being "wired and tired," periodic adrenaline rushes, fragile fluid state; such as hypersensitive dilutional hyponatremia, sudden onset of anxiety, and a sensation of impending doom are common.”My hope is that I can figure out how to use all of this information to fix myself, since the doctors don’t seem to care.

Cheaper than what I normally take and is good to have on hand for when I run out of my other adrenal supplement

My doctor trusts and recommends the Pure Encapsulations product line. I am on thyroid medication, but I never felt a difference. I have fatigue, sleepless nights, and no motivation to do what needs to be done. Since starting this product, I feel like a new person. I started with 1 capsule first thing in the morning, and that's perfect for me. 2 would have been an overload for me. I've only been on it for 10 days, but by day 2, I felt more energy. I noticed by day 5 that I was waking up feeling rested. Now that's exciting! This weekend, I'm working on deep cleaning my home. This has been way overdue. I feel like the old me. :)

Yes , this stuff is real and it works.I.Got lucky.A doctor prescribed this to me years ago and I remembered in reordered it and it really worksIf you're having problems with your Adrenal glands take this!!!

I’m giving it three stars because it is clear it helps many people, but I wanted to take the time to write this warning because this product made me feel a pretty severe anhedonia. Just total nothingness and apathy while I was on it and as soon as I got off it, I felt normal again. I initially took it because I suffer from sleepiness and fatigue. I’ve tried a few things, but this was the second product that seems to work for many, but that had an adverse effect on me.

I really love this suppliment. I really feel better using it twice daily.
