I'm a bit confused about the statement " be very careful about

supplementing with ACE... "

I can understand being careful with licorice, caffeine, or any other

adrenal stimulant, to avoid placing excess demand on the adrenals.

But my understanding is that ACE nourishes, not stimulates, the

adrenals. (There was a discussion like this in recent months on one

of these boards, but I can't seem to find it or remember the exact

conclusions...)
