Freeze-Dried Adrenal Cortex Glandular — Klaire Labs Standard
The adrenal glands make cortisol, a hormone involved in how your body handles stress and steadies energy across the day. Long stretches of stress ask a lot of them. SFI Health (formerly Klaire Labs) describes this product this way: "Purified, BSE-free bovine adrenal glandular extracts support healthy adrenal gland function."*
Who I Reach For This With
- People coming through long periods of stress who want adrenal support
- Patients whose plan calls for a glandular alongside herbal adaptogens
- Anyone who wants a glandular with clear sourcing: pasture-fed, pesticide-free, BSE-free herds
- Patients who want a glandular free of common allergens and artificial additives
What Makes This Form Different
- 250 mg of adrenal cortex concentrate (bovine) per capsule
- SFI Health: a glandular concentrate containing "whole adrenal cortex that is sourced from pasture-fed, pesticide free bovine herds that are BSE-free," lyophilized (freeze-dried) "to preserve biological activity"*
- Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, soybeans, and corn, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
What SFI Health Says It Supports*
- "Supports healthy cortisol levels"*
- "Support healthy adrenal gland function"*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
Adrenal Cortex is one piece of a stress-support plan. Adaptocrine is a different kind of support, herbal rather than glandular, and some patients use both. I look at the whole picture first: sleep, blood sugar habits, and stress load. Then we decide whether a glandular belongs in the plan and how long to use it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Glandular or adaptogen?
They are different tools. A glandular is tissue-based, and an adaptogen is herbal. I decide which fits, or whether both do, after we look at your history.
When do I take it?
SFI Health's directions are 1 capsule daily with food. Earlier in the day is a common choice, and I'll set timing with you.
Who should check with their provider first?
SFI Health says anyone who is pregnant, nursing, has a medical condition, or takes prescription drugs should consult their physician before using it. Check with your prescribing provider before adding this.
Suggested Use: 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Available as 60 capsules or 120 capsules per bottle.
