No, I started with Isocort and took that for almost a month and then

switched to HC(Cortef) I noticed improvement almost immediately

with the Cortef. Isocort is good if you are not severely depleted...

I think most people start with Isocort and if they get to 8 pellets a

day and are not improved then they switch to HC (Cortef)

I have only been on AS (Adrenal Support)for 6 weeks so cannot answer

your weight loss question, sorry! Weight loss is not even on my mind

right now.....but, it will be soon. I am not really expecting to

lose while on it though. Just want to feel better and I am getting

there! Have you had a Adrenal Saliva test yet? That is a good place

to start. I do know that for me I was still suffering after 10

months of Armour. I started a job and it went downhill FAST. That

finally made my eyes open about my Adrenals....I was in heavy denial

for a long time and putting off the ineviteable! I am glad now to

have made the decision. I recently wrote a post on how many symptoms

have already gotten better the past month on HC. It is titled, " My

Gratitude " (I think,lol) Maybe you can find it by doing a

search. :0) Take Care
