============Supplements: that are beneficial for the adrenal glands are

vitamin C (2000mg/day), vitamin E (800-1000IU/day, B-vitamins 100mg/day of

each in divided doses, especially pantothenic acid - B5 500mg twice a day,

B6, and Biotin 2000mcg twice a day), magnesium aspartate/chloride (500mg/day

in divided doses), calcium, and trace minerals such as zinc, molybdenum,

chromium, and selenium

~ Herbs: Ginseng and ashwagandha support the adrenals by stimulating them to

produce all of the hormones. Licorice works in a different manner, by

inducing a cortisol-retaining effect which slows clearance of cortisol and

increases its effects. It also helps to activate aldosterone receptors

Because ginseng boosts the adrenals it is not always the best thing for

fatigued adrenals. You do not want to push already tired glands. For this

reason licorice is often the 'softer' option.

Licorice and ginseng should only be used about 2 weeks of the month to

maintain their effect long-term. Licorice can be helpful in boosting adrenal

function, because it helps the body retain more of its cortisol. These would

give you adrenal support taken long-term if you were not going to do

anything else. You DO NOT usually need licorice and ginseng if you are going

to take Isocort (desiccated adrenal gland) or Hydrocortisone (synthetic

cortisol).

Ashwagandha is particularly good for combined hypothyroid and adrenal

problems and it helps both simultaneously. Take 1000mg the first week,

2000mg the second week and 3000mg the third week and stay at this dose if it

works for you.

Hope you find something here to help your adrenals, Sunny
