Dosage for adrenal cortex?

[Guest guest]

In an effort to bolster my sagging adrenals, etc. etc... I now have

purchased both Isocort and Adrenal Cortex Organic Glandular from

Nutricology. I appreciate all the discussion on this subject

recently, especially the discussion of specific over the counter

supplements to try. Now I am trying to figure out how much to take

and when.

The Adrenal Cortex Glandular is 250 mg. per capsule. I thought

perhaps I would be best served if I divided the capsule into four or

five parts and took it over the course of the day. Does anyone have

any suggestions on this?

I was given Isocort about 7 years ago for low adrenal function by a

naturopath. I thought that it made me feel like I was having heart

palapations after taking it for some time. So I quit using it. Now

looking back, I realize I was having mercury problems even then. Plus

I was on thyroid and a bunch of other things that could have

contributed to heart palpations.

I read in a post here some time back that Isocort has the equivalent

of 2.5 mg. of adrenal cortex extract per tablet. Am I remembering

that correctly? How much of this should I take and how often? Should

I combine it with the Nutricology product or alternate?

Advice and suggestions will be most appreciated.

**llamabb** Thank you for the information. I will try using the

organic glandular once or twice today. **

If you decide to use the ACE from Nutricology, I would definitely

divide the capsules into 4 or 5 parts to start. When Andy has given

dosaging instructions in the past, he said the caps he was most

familiar with were from Thorne. He pointed out that it was not

because they were better than another brand, just that the Thorne he

was more familiar with. Those caps are only 50mg. I started with 1/5

cap of Nutricology ACE twice a day and have worked up to 1/3 cap

twice a day. Taking them in the evening interfered with sleep and my

ability to relax or I would be taking more. I am on 20-22.5mg of

hydrocortisone as well, so if you are not using Isocort or HC you

may need a higher dose of ACE. I also remember Andy saying HC does

not take the place of ACE, nor does ACE take the place of HC. In

other words, dosaging is a balancing act for some people.

**llamabb** Thanks for that advice. Now that you mention it, I think

I remember reading something Andy wrote to that effect. I did divide

the capsule into 4 parts. Can't say that it did anything for me

today. Perhaps I will try taking Isocort in the morning along with

the whole glandular product portioned out. It sounds like that might

be what I need. Thanks again.**
