Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi, I am seeking some advice on adrenal support. I have been taking NAX - 4 tabs daily since Sept 2011, recently though I have found that I am getting a little fragile emotionally again, crying when the kids get cross or argue etc. I feel that the NAX isn't enough now. I tried increasing the dose to 5 or 6 tabs but it caused diarrhea and as I am already taking lots of supplements which are causing 'looseness' any further liquification is undesirable if not downright dangerous! I read in the files section that Ashwagandha can be good and as I have some - actually it is Shatavari and Ashwagandha formula, and I am menopausal - I have started taking it 1000mg twice daily. I also take 1.5 grains armour and 30-40mcg T3 daily and my temperature is creeping slowly back towards 36 and above. So, I feel that my thyroid is good and hypo symptoms are falling away but I am left with some nervy symptoms. I also take Vit C, mag taurate, D3, b complex, b12, flax seed oil, iron. I suppose I am asking whether there is something else I should look at or whether the ashwagandha will help. An article I saw in the files mentioned, I think that's what it meant, that NAX supports the adrenals but doesn't enable them to rest in order to heal and I wonder whether I need something which does that. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks Finola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello - L-Theanine, is natural & very good for mood. You can Google - 'benefits of L-Theanine' very informative articles on it - not sure if I am allowed to mention a brand - as new to this group. I have taken Ashwagandha and in good quality liquid herbal form is good for energy. JT > > Hi, > I am seeking some advice on adrenal support.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Judy, thanks very much. I got some theanine today and it seems to be doing the trick - there are suggestions that it's good for high blood pressure and mine is higher than ideal so possibly it will help in a number of ways. Again thanks for your suggestion and for taking the time to reply - I appreciate it very much. Best wishes Finola > > Hello - L-Theanine, is natural & very good for mood.
