Glandulars - Pros/Cons?

[Guest guest]

What is the group's experience with glandular extracts? I started

both HC and glandulars at the same time, but have some questions:

1. Do glandulars contain hormones?

2. What are the symptoms of too much glandulars? I am currently

taking the following:

- Adrenogen by Metagenics 2 tabs per day. Each tablet contains 25

mg PABA and 80 mg raw adrenal concentrate (bovine)

- Adrenal Factor by Dr. Shallenberger 8 caps per day. Each capsule

contains 400 mg liver concentrate, 350 mg licorice extract, 100 mg

adrenal powder (hormone free).

- Adreset by Metagencics 3X caps per day. Each capsule contains 400

mg Cordyseps Mycelium Extract, 200 Ginseng Root Extract, 50 mg

Rhodiola Root Extract

3. Dr. seems to suggest that people on both glandulars and

HC do better than taking either one by itself. Does the group

concur? The mechanism whereby ground up adrenal tissue from pigs or

cows helps us repair our own adrenals has never been adequately

explained in anything I have read. It is just stated as fact.

4. Should I remain on the glandulars or would I be wiser to just go

with HC for now? I hate introducing so many different things into

my system at once. It is like turning 25 knobs at the same

time...you don't know which one is responsible for making things

better or making things worse.

Some do some don't and the ones that do you have no way of knowing how much or

which ones.

I would watch for increased Blood Pressure, fluid retention, or jumpiness (

adrenaline too high) from these glandulars, particularly monitor BO when taking

anything containing Licorice.

I do not agree with him at all. I have read his book and it is not one I send

folks to. I do believe glandulars can help people when they only have very

slight adrenal fatigue and also when getting off HC when adrenals are healed.

If it were me, i would be off the glandulars and just on HC. It is NOT possible

to tell which is working and not, and it can be very expensive to take all these

and really some may actually be hindering you and how would you know?
