Adrenal Cortex - Thorne

Thorne's Adrenal Cortex is made from bovine adrenal cortex tissue.

Adrenal Cortex supports healthy adrenal function, improving resilience to stress and promoting a feeling of energy.

Hormones produced in the adrenal cortex are necessary for glucose metabolism, immune function, normal blood pressure, and more. In today's high-stress world, lifestyle habits that deprive us of adequate rest and exercise, along with dietary habits high in caffeine and refined sugars, can, over time, harm the adrenal glands. Extracts from adrenal cortex tissue can play a valuable role in supporting healthy adrenal glands—helping maintain immune function and promoting a feeling of energy. Glandular extracts also promote healthy cortisol levels. Thorne's Adrenal Cortex provides adrenal cortex tissue extracts for focused support of normal adrenal function.

What is the role of the adrenal cortex in maintaining health?

The adrenal cortex is responsible for producing a special group of hormones known as corticosteroids. These hormones are composed of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and 17-ketosteroids and are essential for important homeostatic processes throughout the body. Glucocorticoids are necessary for glucose metabolism and immune function. Mineralocorticoids help maintain healthy electrolyte balance and already normal blood pressure. 17-ketosteroids are associated with the sex hormones produced by the adrenal glands.
