Why glandular for elevated cortisol?

Good morning.

Please i would really appreciate if someone could give me a thought of why I've been advised to take nutri adrenal extra when my cortisol is actually elevated? I'm taking it for 2 months for "supporting" (doctors expression) adrenals alongside with ndt. It's silly but i only now realised that i don't understand the logic behind this advice. Thank you everyone.

Thank you very much indeed. This sounds more reasonable to me. I'm going to try B complex instead then.
