Adrenal Cortex

The two adrenal glands are located in the middle of your torso toward the back, 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 bring the body back in balance when something throws it off, such as during a time of stress. When the body is under chronic stress, it can take a toll on your adrenal glands. Thorne Adrenal Cortex supports healthy adrenal function by promoting a balanced stress response. Thornes Adrenal Cortex is formulated with a unique extract from adrenal cortex tissue, which plays a valuable role in supporting healthy adrenal function; helps maintain immune function and promotes an energetic feeling; nourishes the adrenal glands helps regulate metabolism and manage the bodys response to stress; stabilizes the stress hormone, cortisol, which naturally peaks in the morning and declines during the day but too much stimulus (stress) can cause cortisols level to get out of balance. Stabilizing cortisol supports a relaxed state of mind and promotes more restful sleep.
