How much cortisol in Adrenal Cortex extracts?

I saw some adrenal cortex extract products on iherb that you can freely buy. Most of adrenal cortex extracts have 50-100mg of Adrenal Cortex Tissue (Bovine, Lyophilized). Do anybody know if hormones are removed or there are still presented?I saw some adrenal cortex extract products on iherb that you can freely buy.
