> I went to see a nutritionist yeaterday, and she mentioned 'glandulars' as a support for my (underactive and stressed) adrenals. What on earth are they???

Yes, animal tissue.

Dessicated glands taken from healthy but dead animals. E.g. at a slaughterhouse, they'll collect thyroid tissue. They dry the tissue to a powdery dryness, grind it, and sift out anything that didn't grind up. What's left, the powder, is called a glandular. That's what Armour thyroid supplement is, a prescription *standardized* glandular, from pig thyroid. There are standardized, and un-standardized glandulars. Adrenal glandulars used to be very popular.

The idea is "if it kept a pig healthy....".

P.S. I'm still resting.
