Outer and Innner adrenals produce different hormones--one does mainly cortisol and other does adrenal. Since most adrenals stress index tests such as the ASI from DiagnosTechs test cortisol who knows if one should be taking the adrenal tissue also. Too many opinions when it comes to adrenals and if and how to support them if they need it. Maybe try the products yourself and see if you can tell the difference. If ASI shows low cortisol then you know you at least need cortisol support, so it's more of a question of whether you need the adrenal too. Just my opinion.

There is no soy or yeast.
