Curious about adaptogens & acetyl l-carnitine

[Guest guest]

I am curious about adaptogens that help the body to reduce cortisol

levels. I have a suspicion that my body reacts to stress (including

strenuous exercise) by shutting down the hypothalamic pituitary axis,

which results in a faulure to produce hormones.

I was reading this article:

http://www.dadamo.com/napharm/store3/template2/cortiguard.htm

which states that herbs like ginseng, and suppliments

like Phosphatidylserine can help to reduce plasma cortisol levels and

help the body to return cortisol to a more normal level after stress.

 

Thisa article: http://smart-drugs.net/Smart/info-ALC.htm

suggests that " Acetyl L-Carnitine inhibits the excessive

release of Cortisol in response to Stress and inhibits the depletion

of Luteinising Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH) and Testosterone that

occurs as a result of excessive Stress. "

 

Any other info on adaptogens and cortisol reducing methods?

I was just tested and diagnosed with hypoadrenal and the supplements

that have been recommended by my natuopath:

 

Seriphos

DGL

Ortho-Adapt

 

All which stabalize (high) cortisol.

 

I'm also taking DHEA, which was low. And Amaplex, Vit E (800 IU),

B12, Folic Acid (5mg) for low sIGA.

 

Best to get your adrenals tested to actual see what your coritsol

levels are.
