Prescription steroidal hormones may boost your patient’s
sense of immediate well being, BioAdreno™ is designed
to provide the necessary nutrients for rebuilding, which is
necessary for long-term health to be accomplished. Dosing with
BioAdreno™ can be very different from one person to another.
It is recommended that adrenal function testing be utilized
to individualize the specific dosages and timing for maximum
patient response. Cortisol and DHEA (dihydroepiandrosterone)
levels can be assessed through serum levels or via salivary
measurements.
Salivary testing is rapidly
becoming the choice of most physicians. It has several advantages:
1) The free or biologically active portion of Cortisol and DHEA
is quantified.
2) Multiple samples throughout the day can be collected and
the patient’s adrenal cortisol circadian rhythm can be
determined.
3) Samples can be taken under real life conditions, not in the
artificial setting of a doctor’s office.
4) Collection of samples is non-stressful and therefore does
not contribute to aberrant spikes in cortisol output.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
is essential in many enzymatic pathways involved in healthy
adrenal gland function. Stress and the ‘fight or flight’
response may deplete adrenal gland reserves. Pantothenic acid
has been used successfully for decades to assist individuals
recover their health after periods of prolonged or traumatic
stress.
Pyridoxal 5’ Phosphate
(P5P) is a coenzyme that is biologically active.
Vitamin B6 is involved throughout the body in many enzymatic
reactions. Like pantothenic acid, P5P could be considered an
anti-stress nutrient
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C),
like pantothenic acid, is well known for its ability to support
healthy adrenal gland function. Vitamin C is an anti-stress
nutrient in every regard.
Adrenal Cortex (glandular concentrate),
like our other ingredients, are the finest around. Our choice
of glandulars has been selected carefully with quality and health
in mind. Our adrenal cortex comes from New Zealand freeze dried,
range grazed bovine sources. New Zealand glands are clean. No
growth hormones, pesticides, herbacides, etc. are used. Antibiotics
are only used when necessary, not a daily continuous feed, as
is the common practice in other countries. These glands are
inspected, analyzed, etc. for purity (freedom from contamination
from viruses, bacteria, parasites, chemicals, heavy metals,
etc.). Freeze drying preserves the delicate enzymes, trace nutrients,
organic proteins and hormones.
In short, BioAdreno™ Adrenal Cortex supplies your patients
with all the nutrients necessary to support proper functioning
of their adrenal glands.
