Stress, whether physical or emotional, takes its toll on the adrenal glands. Healthy adrenal function is required for stress management, immune system function and maintenance of optimal blood sugar levels. In other words, it’s tough to function normally with compromised adrenal function, which most of us encounter at some point along our journey.

Thorne’s Cortrex contains a combination of the nutrients needed for healthy adrenal gland function, including glandular tissue. Think of it as a daily ‘multivitamin’ for your adrenal glands!

Best Uses for Cortrex

• Fatigue, low energy
• Poor recovery
• High stress lifestyle
• Adrenal fatigue
• Training in excess of 10 hours a week

Here’s How Cortrex Works:

 
Vitamin C, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6), riboflavin 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B2), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and zinc are all found in high concentrations in the adrenal glands and act as the raw materials for production of adrenal hormones like cortisol.Having an adequate supply of these nutrients allows the adrenal glands to recover from fatigue.

 Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) helps preserve cortisol activity. Cortisol is the main hormone produced by the adrenals and is rapidly broken down by the body. Licorice root inhibits this process, so you keep more of your cortisol in circulation and give your adrenal glands a break from production.

Cortrex also contains whole adrenal tissue and adrenal cortex (bovine derived) to help tonify adrenal function - these specific nutrients can help improve a person’s energy and tolerance to stress as the adrenal glands recover.

We rely heavily on our adrenal glands to respond quickly to any type of stressor, whether it’s mental, emotional or physical. Since we all experience stress on some level over time, this can wear down adrenal glands and lead to compromised function. Cortrex will supply your adrenal glands with the raw materials they need for healthy function.
