ACE vs. Glandular Was:Re: Buy Adrenal Cortex by Nutricology

[Guest guest]

I have been using Adrenal Cortex for a while, but inadvertently ordered

Nutricology Adrenal Glandular several months ago. Since I couldn't return the

product, I tried it.

Interestingly, I noticed that both my children with low cortisol do better on

the whole glandular than on ACE alone. The whole glandular seems to have a more

calming effect on them both and they are less susceptible to melt downs. I don't

know why the whole is better for my kids than the ACE.

Murray has a book about glandulars and he writes that " whole adrenal

extracts are most often used in cases of low adrenal function presenting as

fatigue, inability to cope with stress and reduced resistance. "

Did Nutricology also discontinue their whole adrenal glandular product?
