vitality

Not sure if this is in the right forum, but thought I would ask. I believe in natural medicine and I also believe that there is a time and place for pharmaceutical drugs. I've been seeing a chiropractor and we discussed Adrenal Stress Disorder. He recommended a supplement called ADB5-plus (made by Biotics Research Corporation) for adrenal support since my adrenal gland is not producing enough cortisol. Here are the ingredients.....and there are vitamins and minerals in there too.....but I was just curious to know about the Parotid Tissue (bovine) and the Lamb Pituitary/Hypothalmus Complex (ovine). Anyone know what this is and is it harmful??? Also....I noticed that Adrenal support herbs have the same thing called powdered bovine adrenal gland from New Zealand...not sure if the supplement and the herb contain the same thing or if there is a difference. Malic Acid (as magnesium malate), Adrenal Gland Concentrate (porcine), Citrus Bioflavonoids, Choline (as choline bitartrate), Superoxide Dismutase (vegetable culture source), Catalase (vegetable culture source), N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, Lamb Pituitary/Hypothalamus Complex (ovine), Parotid Tissue (bovine), Copper (as copper gluconate)
