Question 1

Is it an extract of bovine adrenal glands?

Accepted Answer

The answer from Baloo is wrong.  Cortex simply means the outer layer of something, the word comes from that latin for bark (like on a tree).  For example the outer layer of the brain is called the cerebral cortex.  The outer layer of the adrenal gland is still the adrenal gland.  The adrenal cortex produces many hormones including glucodcorticoids, mineralocorticoids and androgens.  That is the very definition of a gland, to say it's not a gland is so very wrong.  It's a shame there is no way to remove misinformation like this from Amazon.

Question 2

Anyone care to explain the main difference between taking cortex and the whole gland in preparations. Thanks...

Accepted Answer

The whole glandular will have the medulla in it which gives you too much adrenaline.

Question 3

Does the product contain any ingredients from China?

Accepted Answer

Thorne Research sources its ingredients from around the world, including China. Because it is proprietary and confidential business information, Thorne does not disclose the country of origin of its raw materials in specific products. Please be assured, however, that all of Thorne's raw materials are only sourced from vendors that have passed Thorne's strict vendor validation requirements. Furthermore, Thorne does not merely accept a certificate of analysis from a raw material vendor; instead, every raw material is held in quarantine at Thorne until their state-of-the-art, in-house Quality Control laboratory tests the raw material and verifies its identity, purity, strength, and composition. Only after testing and verification is a raw material released for manufacturing.  Thorne products are manufactured in South Carolina, USA.

Question 4

How long and how many caps before you feel energy?

Accepted Answer

Every individual is unique and every supplement has a different "mechanism of action" for how it works in the body. Some products can provide a relatively fast result, such as with PharmaGABA for alleviating stress, or Melatonin for promoting sleep. Other suppplement products, such as a multi-vitamin/mineral product, are for preventive health and general wellbeing, so an immediate response would not be expected. However, for some products, if you experience an overall sense of wellbeing, such as increased energy or improved mood, and that is the indication of use for which you are taking the product, then you are realizing the intended benefit.  We suggest you consult with you health care professional if you are not seeing the hoped for benefits in the time frame you are hoping for.
