Terrible stomach pain with Adrenavive I

[Jamima]

I swapped to Adrenavive I from Adrenavive II at the beginning of June. Since starting the new product I've found it gives me horrible stomach pains, last week to the point of vomiting. The pains eventually subside but it takes around 4-5 hours. I get these pains despite eating before taking the product but on one occasion I took them on an empty stomach and OMG! I've asked the company to replace them with Adrenavive II as I'm side effect free on that and have only managed 4 doses of the new product in almost 6 weeks. I need an adrenal product but this is awful.

Has anyone else experienced this with Adrenavive I?

Sorry you've not had any replies yet.

My comment will bring your post back up the news feed, so hopefully others will see it and respond.

Many thanks.

They are very different in that A1 is whole adrenal whereas A2 is adrenal cortex.

Adrenavive I - Bovine Whole Adrenal

Adrenavive II - Adrenal Cortex Complex

The difference in your experiences might lie in this distinction. You have not said why you changed product?

Thank you, I changed because I thought I might benefit more from the whole adrenal product. The answer to that is a big fat no. I contacted the company and they've agreed to replace it with Adrenavive II which I can tolerate without any issues. They said they'd had some, but not many reports of similar side effects.

Thanks - a shame it did not work out for you.

And very glad (and a bit impressed) the company has agreed to a swap.

Well, they did charge me a tenner for the difference in the product cost, but yes, I agree.
