Re: Adrenal supplements

[Guest guest]

Hi , if your adrenals aren't too bad, maybe you start with nutri

adrenal or nutri adrenal extra, available from

www.yournutritionshop.co.uk, I think you can take up to 6 per day and

split the dosage morning and lunchtime, but general opinion is to start

off with a low dose to see how you respond, maybe 1 or 2 per day. If

you have a 'sensitive' stomach maybe the nutri adrenal better for you

than the nutri adrenal extra, the extra has added vitamins and higher

strength. My salivary test came back bit 'erratic' but within range

overall and the nutri adrenal extra worked fine for me. I felt a

difference within a week although nothing miraculous but helped with

blood sugar symptoms and enegy levels were slightly increased. On the

advice of Dr P I took the nutri adrenal extra for two weeks (taking up

to 4 per day), then added 3 nutri thyroid until I went to see him and

he said that I needed Armour as the nutri thyroid wouldn't be enough, I

have an unopened pot of nutri thyroid if you or anyone else is

interested? I am still taking the nutri adrenal extra and upping it

with my Armour increases just to be on the 'safe side' but will

eventually 'wean' off them once Armour is settled. I have no experience

with anything beyond adrenal supplements, quite a few people on here

are taking medication but that seems to be a 'second' step if nutri

adrenal is not working, I'm sure someone else will comment on that. I

think there are other supplements you can take but I just took what Dr

P suggested. I think there is info on the TPA website by Dr P about

treating adrenals if that's any help. Do you feel that you have strong

adrenal symptoms? Mind you, I think it's hard to tell really if you

have hypo symptoms too, kinda get mixed up. Are you on any medication

for hypo? Ruth x PS we abbreviate nutri adrenal extra as NAE, if you're

new it helps to know these things! :-)

Hi

Thanks for that, I am doing the salivary test tomorrow and posting it Monday to NPTech. I really dont know if I need adrenal support but am just doing the test to rule things out if you see what I mean, yes I take 150mcg of levo daily, is it ok to keep taking while I treat the adrenals? Its funny you should mention low blood symptoms, I get them and I am not diabetic. Is this a sign of low adrenal function?

I will post my results when I get them and hopefully some of you good people will point me in the right direction! Many thanks

Hi ,

This will depend if you have a conversion problem & if this is why you need adrenal help. If this is the case you could get a dump from T4 rapidly converting - at the first signs just stop all thyroid meds until dump is over, and then start again slowly in the first few days.

Hi Margaret - you can assure your sisters that the bovine adrenal

glandulars are made from cows reared in New Zealand where they do not

have mad cow disease. We would never recommend a product that had such a

risk.

Luv - Sheila

My sisters (all under active thyroid)seem to think that as supplements

ar " Bovine " that you can get mad cow disease !!!!!!!!!!! are they just

being MAD COWS. Would welcome your imput. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
