The general consensus here seems to be (correct me if I'm wrong) to

assume that Isocort contains 2 mg cort instead of 2.5.. Also keep in

mind that adrenal extract cotains things other the just cortisol -

adrenaline for one (how much, who knows), and perhaps precursor

hormones or other steroids. I'd expect any enzymes to be destroyed

either by the freeze drying or the stomach acids, but the steroids

molecules might survive, as they aren't proteins and perhaps not as

sensitive to destruction by acid or temperature extremes.

IC and other extracts might also contain things that slow down

absorption of cortisol, or block some of it - I don't know if things

can bind or block absorbtion of cort like calcium and iron can with

thyroid.

I am also extremely sensitive to fillers in pills and wouldn't be able to take

HC tablets. Just taking a paracetamol tablet or simple vitamin or antibiotic

makes me sick very much in other ways.toxicity increase,head aches,runny

nose,feeling depressed and confused,etc.depression and confusion is really the

worst part of it. Also using natural extracts.

Re: the lowdown on isocort

I have to disagree. I am ultra sensitive to all meds, and took HC at 5

mg and it was too much for my system to handle. I just started Isocort

(with licorice) a week ago (literally started at 1/2 a pellet and now

up to 3 pellets) and already feel a bit of a heart-pounding sometimes.

Hi Metta,

I used isocort,sub-adrene or biomax ace.I used latter two for couple of years

than switched to isocort. I am at about 7 mg HC equivalent of these at this

moment.

One pallet is not really much. I don't think it would give any side effects if

you need it.What is your stage? Are you sure you need it?Do you take it together

with licorice?You might try to take them at different times.

I really can not say much about heart pounding. I am quite ill and all kind of

strange things happen to me lately so I don't wish to mislead you but I do not

remember any heart pounding problem when I started extracts.
