Thorne Research Adrenal Cortex, adrenal cortex, 60 capsules

Supports stable levels of stress hormones to promote a balanced stress response, energetic feelings and healthy adrenal function.

Adrenal Cortex, made from bovine adrenal cortex tissue, supports healthy adrenal function and promotes a feeling of energy.

The two adrenal glands are located in the middle of the torso in the back area, just above the kidneys. The adrenal glands are part of your endocrine system, which uses hormones to control body functions. The hormones produced in the adrenal cortex are necessary for proper glucose metabolism, immune function, and normal blood pressure. These hormones also help to bring the body back into balance when something throws it out of balance, such as during times of stress.

When the body is under chronic stress, it can put strain on your adrenal glands. The adrenal cortex supports healthy adrenal function by promoting a balanced stress response.

Benefits of Thorne's Adrenal Cortex:

• Formulated with a unique extract of adrenal cortex tissue that plays a valuable role in supporting healthy adrenal function.
• Helps maintain immune function and promotes an energized feeling.
• Nutrient supply to the adrenal glands helps regulate metabolism and control the body's response to stress.
• Stabilizes the stress hormone cortisol, which naturally peaks in the morning and drops throughout the day - but too much stimulus (stress) can cause cortisol levels to become unbalanced. Stabilizing cortisol supports a relaxed state of mind and promotes more restful sleep.
