I take 2 pellets of IsoCort a day right after lunch, with B-50 Complex, Vit E and C. I take 2 in the morning and 2 during the afternoon when I know I need more energy, but have never taken it late in the evening. My feeling is that IsoCort works as a source of energy (adrenal energy) while your adrenal glands rest.

I used to take 3 TBS of Virgin Coconut oil a day, but now it all depends. I cook with the refined kind (since no taste) most of the time though. Whenever I feel like I am coming down with a cold, I load up with VCO and I never seem to get a cold anymore. I cannot seem to take it too late in the evening though. It gives me instant energy and I cannot sleep!!

I haven't had the hot flash feeling in a while with VCO (I haven't been on any scheduled ingestion of VCO for a while), but if I take 2TBS at one sitting I'm sure I will feel it. Also, when I load up on VCO, sometimes, I feel really weird. Like a little panicky anxiety attack feeling, although it subsides within 30 minutes. It could be that I get hypoglycemic reactions (VCO is known to lower your blood Sugar for some reason), or it's kicking candida's butt, but I don't know which is the case.
