Has anyone taken these by Klaire Labs or know anything about them?I have hypothyroidism and CFS & am looking for an adrenal cortex for low morning cortisol.
I have been warned off Metavive because of the ribonucleotides which I understand are not great for autoimmune conditions.
Would also appreciate recommendations for where to get the best adrenal saliva test.
Thank you
Yes, I have used these but they are adrenal cortex whereas Metavive is a thyroid glandular?
Last couple of tests I've done with cnslab.co.uk/hpa-axis-and-s... TUK10 saves 10%
TM, Metavive is, as you say, a thyroid glandular. But Adrenavive adrenal complex is made by the same company I think.
Oh yes! I meant to write Adrenavive not Metavive (brain fog)
Questions as above.
DubStar It is not unknown for adrenal insufficiency to be misdiagnosed as CFS. Have read posts elsewhere by a number of people to whom this happened.
If you think you have low cortisol, get an early morning (8-9am) cortisol blood test done. Your GP should arrange this if you have symptoms.
I would strongly advise getting advice about adrenals from a specialist group, rather than in this thyroid group. I would also strongly advise avoiding any over-the-counter adrenal products, whether described as cortex, glandular etc. if you search recent posts you will find posts by a couple of people in the last few weeks who have had predictable issues when taking/stopping them. Cortisol levels are not something to mess around with.
For adrenal groups, there is a very active UK-based Facebook group which you will find a link to if you search my previous comments, there is a paid group on the ADSHG website, and the Pituitary Foundation can offer good advice too
Many thanks for the information and advice.
really good adrenal (cortex) supplement?
adrenal cortex extract (ACE)
Hc or adrenal cortex
Hypo and adrenal cortex
