Exclamation I am a little guarded about this product:

so I looked up the herbs:

rhodiola:

Schisandra :

Ginseng: most people know about this one. I won't link
to it.

Licorice:
This one bothers me:

This one can raise blood pressure

Bovine Adrenal extract:
Now this is problematic with mad cow out there.
The adrenals are innervated by nerve tissue, and consuming
nerve tissue is not recommended anywhere anymore!


If it were me...I would NOT take this product. I don't see much benefit, and perhaps some important risks.

Many products are out there with glandular extracts.
These remain iffy now safety wise because of animal proteins being prion risks. So please be careful.

There is a connection between adrenal and thyroid function.
