Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Something was helping! Don't know if it was the " combo " of the Thyrocare, Adaptogen, and the T3 or just what made me feel so much better. I know I'm back to feeling like caa caa on just the 1 grain of Armour and no adrenal support. > dam thats expensive guess its armour for me too. Need adrenal support but a little hesitant about steroids also so looking for alternatives did adatogen help any? < Here's the list of ingredients in the Adaptogen. Since you're hesitant about steroids you could try it and see if you get some relief from your symptoms. > The Adaptogen has : Codonopsis root 100 mg , Devil's Club bark 50 mg, Astragalus root 100 mg, < > Fo-ti herb 100 mg, Wild Yam root 100 mg, Siberian Ginseng root 50 mg, Ashwaghanda root 150 mg. < Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Have any of you checked out the natural adrenal support meds from Standard Process? My holistic doc recommends Symplex F which has natural adrenal/thyroid/female hormones, but they also make a product that is just adrenal support. The products are really reasonable - $15 for a bottle of 60 pills I think.
