Could you please include ranges with your labs? That helps cause it

matters where in the range your numbers fall.

Thanks.

The Adrenogen®Nutritional Support for Adrenal Function is way too weak to

give you any real support, especially if you have bad adrenal fatigue. Plus

bovine doesn't mimic the body like porcine. Metagenics is very expensive so

you are paying a lot for that formula with very little ingredients. That

formula doesn't look like one of the better ones. Dr. 's is much

better but really I think you need to go to Isocort or HC.

The licorice and Ashwagandha are fine. I can't tell about thyroid based on

what you posted.

Labs in please help I don't know if treatment plan

will help me!

Hi everyone. My name is Mark I am a new poster and a watcher for a

while now. I went and saw my nurse practioner who is into bio-

identical hormones. I just got my labs in (some i requested cause of

you guys) and these are the results!

Can I take ISOCORT with all of this will it be to much for

the standard isocort ramp up? She wouldn't prescribe hydrocortisone

and didn't know about isocort. I guess my question is 2 fold:

Could I still be hypothyroid with those numbers?

Is this support therapy above negligable in the big picture or

refrased will it interfere with a isocort regiment?

Please I would appreciate any help I know you all know what is going

on.

The good news is I do nto think you are hypopit, but you certainly have really

bad adrenals.

T3 free 3.48 1.88-3.52

T4 free .92 .58-1.38

THS 3rd gen 1.890 .520-5.080

The problem wiht your labs for thyroid is thta without cortiosl the T3 simply

sits in the blood looking pretty on labs. Exactly what it is doing! But yor TSH

for good health should be lower, which indicates the level of thyroid in the

tissues is VERY low. When oyu add cortisol to this picture, which will then

allow all that thyroid in the blod into the cells, the blood levels WILL go down

considerably and then the true hypothyroid picture will show up.
