MoreHow safe is IsoCort? Is it really cortisol or a supplement such as Drenemine that contain bovine adrenal components? Afraid of doing and possible problems with adrenal because you can buy it over the counter.- Re: How safe is IsoCort? jule

MoreThis is a reply to # 554,542I just started taking Isocort and I hope it it safe. I do know that the Isocort distributed by Bezwecken is made from New Zealand sheep, according to the website. Also, it is not supposed to be strong enough to harm your adrenals or cause them to stop producing cortisol.

This is a reply to # 554,543Hey Julie, I guess I was wondering just what ingredients are in Isocort other than what's listed on the label. Dried adrenal cortex is not the same as cortisol or hydrocortisone therefore safe to take. My MD has me on 5mg of hydrocortisone to boost my adrenals and replace what they're not making. I don't really see a difference between Isocort and Drenamine by Standard Process for that matter. Drenamine contains "bovine adrenal PMG extract" while Isocort contains "freeze dried adrenal cortex". Others have posted that Isocort contains 2.5 mg of cortisol per tablet yet this isn't listed in the ingredients. Sort of scared to take added cortisol unless it's a natural substance that won't adversely affect my taxed adrenals. But if it's good and it works, I'm willing to try. Don't like the synthetic stuff.

The only ingredient in Isocort is freeze-dried adrenal cortex. The claim that Isocort contains 2.5mg of cortisol does not come from the manufacturer...but from a doctor that uses it as part of his protocol. I will have to do some digging to find the link about it...can't remember which site I saw it on. It MAY be from the author who wrote Fatiqued to Fantastic...but I'm just not sure.
I have used both Drenamine and Isocort...no comparison! While Drenamine does contain additional ingredients that support the adrenals, it does not give the same boost to energy and ease of inflammation that Isocort does...cortisol helps with both. I think the difference may be in the way that the adrenal cortex is processed...by freeze-drying the cortisol is preserved within the adrenal cortex, hence it would not be listed as a separate ingredient. Cortisol...not to be confused with cortisone...is natural, not synthetic.
If you are already taking hydrocortisone you should not take additional cortisol...including Isocort. Too much supplemental cortisol will cause your adrenals to halt production of their own cortisol...and it can take a long while of weaning off the supplemental cortisol before your adrenals go back to producing their own.- better than homeopathic????????

This is a reply to # 554,548I haven't had much success with homeopathics and have never tried homeopathic adrenal. I have tried several other adrenal glandulars, but had the greatest response with Isocort...from the very first dose. I would start out with one a day in the morning and gradually increase the dosage if needed. And don't take it too late in the day...it has a stimulating effect that can interfere with sleep. This stuff is potent!!!
Click the link below...this is where I got it. I've never seen it in a health food store, and it was the same price at other websites that carry it.- Re: better than homeopathic???????? nobugsplease

This is a reply to # 554,549all right Ptree, I really trust what you say. So, if you recommend this, I'm willing to give it a try. It's exciting to think that I might actually have some energy for once. Well, consistent energy at least. I get bursts every once and a while but that usually involves a sugary caffeine drink. Ewww, bad stuff, followed by a huge crash soon after :)

I just got some Isocort from my MD/Homeopath (he carried it!), after reading this forum and Dr. Lams thoughts on adrenal fatique, thanks to Peachtree! Question: Do you chew it, as they recommend on their website? Do you keep your dose low and use it subjectively, based on symptoms? I was going to keep it low (I am battling high cortisol, a sympathetic response, and a host of other symptoms, more than fatique)I think what they recommend may too much for most systems...it is a fine line. Dr. Lam was OK with it, as a short-trem support only, but making sure you support your system more naturally with other supportive supplements and life style changes, as well.
I went to my Homeopath and made a good case for adrenal support( as they and other organs are showing up very stressed with accupressure testing)...he has me on a couple of adrenal/cortisol homeopathic remedies and said to try the Isocort to try to control my immediate body's symptoms...he said the use of glandulars will help bump the system up if it is very low...I am beginning to agree and will also add in some pancreatin with my Vitalzym (enzymes) as I have blood Sugar issues, etc. He also said, if you have high blood pressure, to monitor it with Isocort use, as it may increase it.
Hope this helps...I'll keep you informed of what I experience.

This is a reply to # 554,591Improved sleep for one. Better energy through the day. My Doctor is very open minded about this and thought it wonderful. He said western medicine has not explored this enough and there is not enough money in it or something like that. All I know is IsoCort IS potent, and I take it late in the morning, and mid afternoon - anything later, and I don't sleep well.
I only take 4 per time, and no, I don't chew them - I take them with lots of water though.

This is a reply to # 554,544I personally take Drenamine and I LOVE IT! It literally saved my life! I had Myelodyplastic Sydrome (PreLeukemia) and suffered a severe adrenal crash. (Multiple systems for that matter) and all the supplements that I currently take are Standard Process. I stake my life on their products and would endorse them to anyone!
