Cee,
In his book, "Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome," James L. Wilson recommends the following dietary supplements for adrenal health: vitamin C (with bioflavonoids), vitamin E (mixed tocopherols), B vitamins (pantothenic acid and vitamin B6 with a B complex), magnesium, calcium, trace minerals, fiber, licorice root, ashwagandha, Korean ginseng, eleuthero, ginger root and ginkgo biloba. With respect to herbs, Dr. Wilson gave the following advice: "Always take the usual precaution of starting with low doses, and increasing the dosage slowly when using herbal preparations. Because of the varying strength of herbal preparations, it is best to follow the instructions on all packaged herbs."
I hope this helps some. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions on the information that I've provided.
Tomatheus

be weary of anything that sounds like a very specific problem, yet carries very vague symptoms. Iron deficiency is another thing I went to during my hypochondriactic days.... sigh. It sounds like adrenal gland damage sells a lot of books to lay consumers.

Since I see an endocrinologist for hasimotos thyroiditis I did the cortisol first just blood stick it wasn't that great so he did the 24 hour urine and he didn't like that so did the dexamethasone 24 hour challenge test and came back normal. He did this as my Mother either had addisons or cushings Phillipa
