Adrenals, do they play a role with the endorphins?

[Guest guest]

I haven't seen much how LDN affects adrenals. I'm still trying to

figure out the endorphin part but is that part of the adrenal system?

I have out of whack adrenal glands (cortisol, DHEA, are not balanced

as determined by a series of saliva testing), and have been advised

by a nutritionist to take an adrenal support supplement (such as

Adaptocrine), would that have any contraindications on the LDN?

These are the ingredients in the adrenal support supplement:

Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 200mg 333%

Panax Ginseng root 400 mg *

Ashwagandha root 400 mg *

Holybasil leaf extract 200mg *

Rhodiola root extract 150mg *

Eleutherococcus root 100mg *

Pantethine 100mg *

Propriety Blend of: 157mg

Punarva (whole plant)

Betaine HCI

Cellulase (plant enzyme)

Peptidase (plant enzyme)

Other Ingredients: gelating (capsule), modified cellulose gum,

maltodextrin, silica

I'm somewhat hesitant to start on a supplement being only on day 2 of

the LDN but I would like to get balanced. What do you suggest? I

don't want to hog the board with my personal questions, but I know of

no one else to ask these things.

Thanks so much.

Hi,

This site lists the drugs that should not be taken with LDN:

Adaptocrine does not appear to be contraindicated when taking LDN.

I could be wrong, but I do not think the adrenals are particularly involved in

endorphin production.
