I have been using successfully for years Adrenplus-300 from Douglas Laboratories. Unfortunately, it has stopped being available in Europe. I have adrenal issues and it was the only way to cope with taking thyroid medication or glandular (for subclinical hypothyroidism) without having adrenal crashes.
I am struggling to find an adequate replacement. With Adrenplus I was taking 150mg of adrenal concentrate and I don't know how to translate that to adrenal cortex or adrenal glandulars.
Coincidently I also changed from taking Metavive II 2 days and Metavive I 1 day to the Allergy Research Group Thyroid (40mg). I checked how much it was when Metavive did not have ribonucleotides and Metavive I was 15mg and Metavive II was 30mg. I guessed taking 40mg every other day would end up being similar, but I suspect I will need to do new labs to see how I am adapting.
Any recommendation or info would be helpful. Thank you.

The manufacturer of Metavive makes an adrenal glandular called Adrenavive l, ll and lll
Adrenavive l is the entire gland, ll and lll are the cortex only; lll being stronger than ll. I’ve used ll and lll successfully for about 6 years. Without it I don’t tolerate Metavive increases very well
Thank you Vasiliki99 and Noelnoel, for your replies. I have a leftover expired Adrenavive III bottle (a version previous to the added ribonucleotides) . I tried both Adrenplus-300 and Adrenavive III at that time and did better with the first. The second seemed to be too strong, I recall not reacting very well to it and I stopped taking it.
I suspect Adrenplus-300 has the entire gland, but it is not clear, as it only says "adrenal concentrate". I also wonder if the whole b-complex in Adrenplus-300 is not also important.
Yes, Adrenavive is pretty powerful. I can tolerate 3/4 of a capsule only and then only in the morning. If I take it any later than about 11.30 I’m wide awake at bedtime
I took Metavive thyroid everyday. I alternated the dose. It was the scheme that gave me the best results. I had no idea about the differences you mention. Thank you for sharing that information.
I am taking now the allergy research group thyroid. 1 capsule everyday. I suspect it is not enough, but I am doing labs this week.
