Our adrenal glands are located above our kidneys. Each adrenal gland consists of two components: the cortex, which produces essential chemicals required for normal stress response and metabolism, and the medulla, which produces other (non-essential) chemicals. Together, these parts of the adrenal glands work to help us to maintain a healthy balance in multiple physiological processes.
The adrenal glands play a crucial role in a complex series of physiological events and changes known as the “fight-or-flight” response. This enables us to respond to perceived dangers or environmental stressors. This response can be life-saving in particular situations, but extended exposure to stress or other lifestyle factors that place long-term pressure on this response system can take a toll on the adrenal glands.
Adrenal Cortex provides freeze-dried adrenal cortex that contains nutrients to support our maintenance of healthy adrenal tissue. Adrenal Cortex by Seeking Health provides 50mg of bovine adrenal cortex per capsule.
As with any glandular extract or supplement, we recommend that you only use Adrenal Cortex when needed and as directed by a healthcare professional.
