Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I just bought some Nutr+Meds adrenal instead of my usual IsoCort. I decided to give it a try again and see if the extra hormones that come from the rest of the adrenal gland might be helpful. IsoCort has only adrenal Cortex extract. Nutr+Meds is the whole gland. Anyway, I was just wondering how it compares dose wise to IsoCort or Cortef. Can anybody tell me what doses of Nutri+Meds they are using? Right now, they seem to be stronger than the IsoCort per tablet. I just took one this morning and am feeling good. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi Tish. I'm not sure if there are many folks here using Nutri-Meds adrenal support. SO.....you let us know what you think about it as you use it. Were you taking at least 8 tabs of the Isocort? It would take that much for some to get results.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Tish, I just started on Nutri-Meds adrenal 3 days ago and am very interested to hear what you think of it as you get farther into it. I haven't tried the Isocort, so have nothing to compare it to. I have to admit I went with the Nutri-Meds because they were cheaper, but if they don't work, I guess they're really not cheaper! I read to start with 1 tablet for a week, then increase to 2, and perhaps up to 3 if needed so that's what I'm trying. I hope you have good luck with it. Debbie BTW-I always learn so much from your posts. You explain things so clearly. > I just bought some Nutr+Meds adrenal instead of my usual IsoCort.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 By the way, there is an article in the ADRENALS file that compares ingredients between different adrenal support meds. Keep us posted about the Nutri-Meds! Does the label even say how much cortisol you get with each dose?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Thanks everyone for your comments and help. I am finding that it is taking about 3 to 4 a day to get the similar effects of 7 to 8 IsoCorts, which is fitting with your comments. Also, I am noticing that my feet don't puff up as much at the end of the day on the Nutri+Meds. I was getting a little edema in my feet off and on at the end of the day, depending on if I was working all day at the computer and on what part of the month it was. So, I'm thinking the Nutri+meds are giving me something helpful. I had ordered the Nutr+meds in what I thought was plenty of time to get them before running out of the IsoCorts. But, the mail was slow and I ran out. So, I had to resort to my old bottle of Cortef. They were not satisfactory at all. I felt I only got half the relief of the IsoCorts. My opinion now is that the glandulars are much better. I originally switched from Cortef to IsoCort because the Cortef upset my stomach so much. I am very sensitive to when my adrenal hormones go too low and can tell pretty quickly when I need a pill. I think that the nutri+meds might be a tiny bit cheaper or about the same price when comparing the potency of each. I did like the bitterness of the IsoCorts. I know it's weird. But, I enjoyed that about them. It was like a coffee bitter or Campari. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 No, the label only says raw bovine adrenal tissue -- nothing about how much cortisol it contains. I haven't been able to find anything researching it on the internet either. It was one of the things that worried me a little about it. I also wonder about the consistency from batch to batch. I'm only on day 4, but haven't had any problems so far. It sounds like Tish is having good results.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I haven't been able to find anything > researching it on the internet either. I also wonder about the consistency > from batch to batch. _____________ I have come to trust Nutri+meds to keep the consistency right from batch to batch. Many people use their thryoid and adrenal medications to treat their hypothyroidism and adrenal problems and I think they must do a good job since people are really depending on them and have used their products for many years. I have used their thryoid meds and thought they were very good. Each pill seemed to contain 1/4 grain of thryoid and I experienced no problems whatsoever with them over several months of use. I have tried also to get dose information on the adrenal. The company cannot tell you or they will be violating the law with respect to being an over the counter supplement. I do know from using them in the past that they work well and they seem to me since using them a few days now to have about 2 times the cortisol of IsoCort, which has 2-1/2 mg per pill.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Thank you - This makes me feel much better. I didn't know of anyone who had used this brand so was a little worried that I was being taken by some internet scam! It's good to hear that it has helped others and is a reliable company.
