What are symptoms of adrenal fatigue?

[Guest guest]

What all are symtoms of adrenal fatigue?  We have just ordered ACE?  How do I

best start this?  How low dosage wise and what do I want to move up to?  My guys

weigh 36 pounds.  Can I give it with all food related supplements, fat soluble

and enzymes?

Just salt turned out to be a huge help for me, crucial, for adrenal

support, and continues to be...Salt baths might help & take the need

for " ingested " salt down - I really like " salt baths " these days.
