This is the varying protocol that's given...

I seem to be more elevated cortisol with pregnenolone steal...

1) Chronically elevated cortisol:
a. Phosphatidylserene — 2g a day in divided doses
b. Adaptogenic herbs — panax ginseng, rhodiola, ashwaganda, eleutherococcus
c. Cytokine support — resveratrol, pycnogenol, green tea extract, pine bark extract
d. Neurotransmitter GABA support — taurine, valerian root, passion flower, L-theanine

2) Chronically depressed cortisol:
a. Licorice root extract — Dosages depend on the type of licorice root extract used
b. Adaptogenic herbs — panax ginseng, rhodiola, ashwaganda, eleutherococcus
c. Cytokine support — Echinacea, astralagus, shiitake mushroom, beta-glucan, beta sitosterol
d. Excitatory neurotransmitter support — acetylcholine (Alpha-GPC, huperzine, galantamine), serotonin (5-HTP), tryptophan, St. John's wort

3) Abnormal circadian rhythm:
a. Acetylcholine support — Alpha GPC, huperzine, galantamine
b. Phopshytidylseriene — 2g a day in divided doses for minimum of 6 months

Funnily enough, I have some panax ginseng with royal jelly caps already...

Maybe it's good to support the adrenals too with natural vitamin C (acerola, amla etc.) and B5 (bee pollen)...

Has anyone ever used holy basil (tulsi) as an adaptogen?

Nite nite,
BBQ
