Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hello. I believe that I have an adrenal deficiency due to a previously untreated thyroid problem. I ordered " Adrenal Support " from Nature's Sunshine, who's products I trust. I was reading the ingredients and it has " adrenal glandular substance " from New Zealand. Does anyone know what this substance is or have experience with real adreanal therapy with other products? I have to say I'm afraid to take it. Thank you for your input.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 It's basically the same as what I'm taking... I'm on a whole descanted adrenal glandular... freeze dried and process just as natural thyroid is.... Are there any other ingredients listed? and do you know what animal the gland comes from.. it's mostly from sheep or cows.. mine is from cows (bovine). Also, what is the size of the tabs, as in amount of active glandular? Topper () On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 18:33:27 -0000 "briggy1997" writes: Hello.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 OK now I'm confused. Previously, someone said that if you're hypothyroid and untreated and you are also hypoadrenal, then treating the hypothyroid will cause heart palpitations and other unpleasantness. So I figured that it was important to treat the adrenals first, and then start treating the thyroid. But if I've understood correctly, you're saying that treating the adrenals along with the thyroid can cause problems too... So what's the best route? blithe > Just wanted to add a not of warning about adrenal support and low > thyroid.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 No, I believe you can treat both - in extreme cases, the intolerance to any thyroid med is so extreme that the adrenals have to be treated first before even a 1/2 grain Armour is introduced.
