Thorne Research - Cortrex - 60's

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, especially in times of stress. It is important in regulating healthy blood sugar. It also plays key roles in maintaining healthy immune function, fertility, and overall physical and mental stamina. Usually, the adrenal glands can cope with the demands of everyday life. However, in an environment of chronic stress, they can become overworked and unable to produce sufficient cortisol to keep up with demand. This can potentially lead to problems throughout the body. Thorne's Cortrex supplies a combination of adrenal glandulars and nutrients to support overall adrenal function and help maintain healthy cortisol levels. Whole adrenal tissue and adrenal cortex provide a component to Cortex specific for tonifying the adrenals. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) appears to have a modulating effect on cortisol activity.
