Anyone tried Thorne or Seeking Health Adrenal Cortex Extracts

[Redlester]

I had an online consult with a thyroid doctor a couple of days ago. He advised me to take adrenal cortex extract and recommended I take either Thorne ACE or Seeking Health ACE. I have never used anything like this before and am a bit nervous about it.

I am wondering if anyone has tried these and can tell me their experience of them. Has anyone had a bad reaction to them? These are both 50mg products and I have to start on one capsule twice per day, but in 3 weeks I will be on 3 capsules twice per day, so that will be 6 caps per day.

I'm wondering if at that point (3 caps twice per day) I should be thinking of switching to Adrenavive II as it is 150mg which would mean at that point I would only need to be taking 1 capsule twice a day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve taken adrenal glandulars on the advice of Dr P (now retired). I’ve always been a bit confused about how/what they do - definitely they should sort out cortisol and he liked to do that before giving thyroid glandulars. The one thing I do know for sure is that they shouldn’t be taken after lunch time because they stimulate the adrenals and if taken in the second half of the day stop you from sleeping!

Yes HighlandMo, the guy I had the consult with was very specific that I have to take one dose at 9.30am and the second one at 1.30 pm and then none after that. Think I'm going to have to buy a second alarm clock!!
