I have tested below normal levels for cortisol Output. So I read the book Adrenal Fatigue- the 21st century Stress Syndrome. In it the author recommends vitC, Licorice Root, Ashwagandha Root, Panaz Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, and Ginger root. He also recommends Adrenal cell Extracts. He endorses a product for adrenal fatigue that contains:
"A proprietary blend containing adrenal, gonad, hypothalamus, pituitary and thyroid concentrates from porcine sources; and calcium glycero-phosphate. Contains no hormones".Any way I was wodering if anyone had any experience with herbs or especially the Cell extracts for treating Low cortisol.
The hypthalamus extract especially makes me worried because of MAD-COW like diseases even though the extracts come from pig sources. Could I get triganosis from taking these cell extracts? Is triganosis still common in pigs today? Do pigs have any prion diseases or other diseases that I should be aware of? Also how do they take the Hormones out of these extracts? Is that even possible?
Anyone know of any other things I could do to help out my adrenals?
Thanks
