Cortrex® Adrenal Support Capsules by Thorne offer multi-faceted nutritional support to promote healthy adrenal function‚ which can support the body’s natural response to stress. Cortrex was designed to supply the body with nutrient‚ botanical and glandular nutrition to help the adrenal system do its job. This supplement is designed to help support and maintain both mental and physical stamina. And‚ as you’ve come to expect from the experts at Thorne‚ Cortrex is made to conform to the utmost quality standards. This supplement is free of preservatives‚ lubricants‚ and diluents.
What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body‚ in the adrenal glands‚ to deal with periods of stress. It is essential for regulating blood sugar and maintaining fertility‚ immune function‚ and overall mental and physical stamina. Under normal circumstances‚ the body’s adrenal glands are built to cope with the demands that life puts on us. However‚ when you’re faced with periods of chronic stress‚ your adrenal glands can become tired from all the extra work. This can eventually lead to problems that can be seen throughout the entire body.
When the body is short on cortisol‚ you may feel tired or run down on a regular basis. You may also feel muscle weakness and joint pain‚ or you may experience unexplained weight loss.
How Do Adrenal Glandular Tissue Extracts Help?
Adrenal glandular tissue extracts help by supporting healthy cortisol levels and immune system function. This is because these tissue extracts play an essential role in supporting the adrenal glands. Cortrex delivers a formulation of adrenal glandulars along with nutrients to best support your overall adrenal function and allow you to maintain optimal cortisol levels.
In this supplement‚ whole adrenal tissue and adrenal cortex make up part of the formulation that specifically is designed to tonify the adrenal glands.
Supporting Ingredients in Thorne Research’s Cortrex
Licorice root (also known as Glycyrrhiza glabra) was included for its modulating effect on cortisol activity. Among all herbal remedies‚ licorice root is believed to be most effective at modulating cortisol. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine because practitioners believe it can enhance the potency of any cortisol that is being produced by the body by inhibiting the breakdown of cortisol in the liver.
Whenever treating a condition in the body whereby a system seems to be malfunctioning‚ it is important to ensure the body has adequate nutrition to support such functions. This is why Thorne includes vitamins in its Cortrex supplement. The specific vitamins that were included were chosen because of their supportive and strengthening roles in optimizing adrenal function. Those vitamins include zinc‚ ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C)‚ thiamine (vitamin B1)‚ riboflavin‚ pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)‚ and pyridoxal 5-phosphate (vitamin B6 in its active form).

Great Product and Very Affordable!
I was diagnosed with severe Adrenal Fatigue by my doctor, and Cortrex by Thorne Research truly saved my life. The Licorice root and Adrenal Bovine help my adrenals support themselves. It gives me energy without the shakes and anxiety normally associated with 'energy' products, and it provides my body with the B-vitamins that are so hard to find in a vegetarian diet. It is also hypoallergenic, which is great because I have so many sensitivities. I have been using Cortrex for 1 year, and will continue using it because it has helped improve my condition, and this site offers such an amazing deal!
Pros
-
Non irritating, great for ingredient sensitive people; Capsules are easy to break open; provides steady, long-lasting energy that doesn't tax the adrenal glands; low price, free shipping.
Cons
-
NOTHING!

Fresh, Affective and Professional Grade.
In order to rebuild my immune and hormonal systems, I purchased Cortrex by Thorne Research as my Natureopath's suggestion. The benefits were noticeable immediately with increased energy and mental clarity. I am excited about getting well and will keep using Cortrex as it's potency can be depended on. I am taking 2 tablets a day at this point.
Pros
-
The pros are simple: It is easy to swallow, a little goes a long way and it is priced right as well as easily assimilated into my system. It works without noticeable side effects that I can detect.
Cons
-
So far I cannot see any 'Cons'.

Prescribed by my doctor
Cortrex by Thorne Research was prescribed by my doctor to help my low cortisol levels. I think it has helped. I have a real problem with fatigue and using this along with my Thyroid medicine I have seen improvements.
Pros
Cons
-
I hate having to take a big vitamin everyday. I hope they come out with a gummy version, but I doubt that will be anytime soon.
