Please spare a few moments to explore these insights with me; they might just be the fresh perspective you've been seeking for
What is Desiccated Adrenal?
Desiccated adrenal, as the name suggests, is made from dried adrenal glands, often sourced from bovine (cows). These glands play a crucial role in the endocrine system, responsible for producing hormones that help regulate metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response, among other functions.
History of Desiccated Adrenal in Medical Practice
The use of adrenal glandular substances traces back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over the decades, various observations and studies underscored the importance of the adrenal glands.
In the 1850s, Thomas Addison, MD, highlighted patients with fatigue, joint pain, skin pigmentation, and abdominal pain due to adrenal gland dysfunction. This led to the identification of Addison’s disease.
The 1920s and 1930s were pivotal, with the Mayo Clinic documenting benefits in half of their patient group using adrenal treatments. Additionally, Dr. Pottenger’s observations about the amount of raw adrenal gland required to produce therapeutic effects laid the groundwork for future research and applications.
As the use of raw glandular materials waned in the 1940s, due to the advent of methods for large-scale corticosteroid production, the holistic community kept the knowledge alive. The benefits of raw and natural glandular substances, particularly desiccated adrenal, remained of interest to those pursuing natural health remedies.
Why Include Desiccated Adrenal in Supplements?
The belief behind using desiccated adrenal in supplements is to provide support to the human adrenal glands. When our adrenal glands are overworked, due to chronic stress or other factors, it can lead to fatigue, immune deficiencies, and other health issues. By introducing desiccated adrenal, the aim is to offer a boost of vital nutrients that can help support and rejuvenate our natural adrenal function.

Desiccated adrenal, often derived from bovine sources, is becoming increasingly prevalent in various health supplements due to its potential benefits in supporting adrenal function and overall vitality. Products like Adrenal Desiccated, e-Poise®, Emphaplex®, Cataplex® C, Cataplex A-C, and Drenamin® incorporate this ingredient, aiming to offer a natural solution to those facing adrenal fatigue or seeking enhanced energy and wellness. As with any supplement, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before integrating these into your regimen. Our clinicians at the Natural Health Improvement Center are here for you.
Dosing and Considerations
Recommended Dosage: Take 1-3 daily for temporary support of adrenal function.
Why Should You Consider This? If you're feeling constantly exhausted, struggling with fatigue, or suspecting hypoadrenia, this might be for you. You can further assess this by conducting the Postural Hypotension Test (also known as Raglands’ Test).
In-Depth Look: This product contains a whole adrenal gland concentrate, processed through a cold extraction method. It's one of three options you can explore for adrenal support, with the other two being Drenatrophin PMG and Drenamin.
Think of it as a short-term booster, especially effective when you need a more potent adrenal support due to sudden severe stress, shock, burns, unexpected low blood pressure, and more. It's advisable to use it for a span of two or three weeks and then transition to one of the other formulas.
