I got tested for cortisol and came out below the normal range. I to0 was thinking about licorish supplementation. Does it come in capsule form? How much should one take and what brands are good. Does licorish stimulate you adrenal to produce the cortisol or is it a natural cortisol itself? I would really like to know the results of others trials with licorish. How did it compare if applicable with hydrocortisone? Specifically what effects did it have on your energy, concentration, mood, motivation, and sleep.
Dont know if any one can answer this question but Ill ask anyway. I also have hypothryroidism (or a High TSH) so I would like to know how cortisol and thyroxine or the adrenal glands and the thryoid gland are related. I think I remember reading that if you have adrenal insuffiecciency not to treat hypothryoidism before correcting the adrenal prob. Does anyone one know why? Also can adrenal probs somehow cause high TSH(which is indicative of hypothryodism)?
Thanks
