Re: I just bought adrenal cortex, in case I burned out my adrenals. Will it help?
Adrenal extract (cortex) usage can be tricky and a lot depends on the state and cycle your adrenals are under.
I found them very soothing and calming when my adrenals were are rock bottom, but as I got more healthy several months later... they have a nerve-wracking and electrifying effect on me.
I don't know the effect or interaction they have on chelaton at all.
Adrenal extracts are not something I would not just "drive into"... I would do research and start them slow and only if necessary.
From my limited understanding: Adrenal extracts (cortex, etc) help people with LOW CORTISOL whose adrenals are in "bad shape" - weak / exhausted. If this is the case they will make you feel calmer, and better able to handle stress - just more "normal", etc. If your adrenals are still somewhat healthy and over-active, adrenal extracts may be "too strong" and produce a over-stimulating effect. Symptoms to watch for include anxiety, racing thoughts, heart-palpitations, muscle tension.
Start low, go slow.
Start low (in dosage: even just a fraction of a capsule at first... as a cautious test) and go slow (don't raise it frequently).
