> Perhaps you could try Licorice as it has cortisol increasing effects. It makes me feel worse since I am on the high end. Conversely it may make you feel better if you're low in cortisol.
yes thanks Optimist. I've been using licorice for about 4 years or so now :).. to raise cortisolAt present.. just ran out last week, my cortisol levels are getting on the high side, I think due to B1 (1) that I've been taking for about 6 mths by injections and is finally building up in me ..
and licorice inhibiting the the 11 beta_HSD2.. so a combo double whammy to build up cortisol?1. B1 probably raises the pentose pathway flux..as would Magnesium, B2, biotin..
