Vital Nutrients - Licorice Root Extract - Herbal Immune Support - Adrenal Support - 90 Vegetarian Capsules per Bottle - 400 mg

It took some time, & experimentation to find the right dose.I started with 3 in the morning, as another reviewer mentioned her naturopath suggested for low morning cortisol.That was too much.I now take 1 in the morning, along with 2 caps of adrenal stress end, & 1 before dinner with a capsule of Oregon's Wild Harvest chasteberry.I've read it's best to do Vitex in the morning, but I feel, & sleep better taking it in the evening.I also add Carlson's 50 mg 5-htp lozenge 3 times daily.I feel balanced, & good, but still deciding if I need the evening dose of licorice.Low early evening cortisol can keep you awake if your body's fighting to get levels up to normal.Low cortisol, can turn to high, & cause insomnia.Maybe that's why so many with adrenal fatigue are more awake at night.A word of caution if you also decide to try Enzymatic Therapy adrenal stress end. It's strong.I can't just swallow the capsules, or they sit in my stomach, & cause terrible cramps.I keep them in the fridge, so they don't absorb moisture, & get gooey.I take 2, opening them into my mouth, & drinking them down with a very large (24oz) cup of hot matcha tea, with honey, & milk.I have opened them into a green drink, mixed them in, & drank them that way too.Taken with a meal never worked for me...I still got a pretty good stomach ache.I may also be able to reduce the licorice caps after taking the adrenal blend for awhile, because it does take some time for the effectiveness to build up.

my MCAS NP recommended this due to the amount of fatigue I've suffered due to my work schedule and medical appointments. Those of us with MCAS may suffer from adrenal fatigue and may not know it. Within a week or who I noticed a difference in my energy levels. These won't jack you up like caffeine or energy drinks, which is why I like them.I was told not to take them within 2 hours of taking something sedative. I take them with my AM meds.

This supplement will indeed increase your blood pressure so you should really start with only 1 capsule/day for a week and monitor yourself frequently with a BP monitor. If you get palpitations or anxiety, you're probably taking too much. The effects are cumulative and while a single dose may not do much when you first start, that same dose every day for a week might turn out to be too much, as it was the case for me. For others, 2 capsules/day won't make any noticeable difference, so the bottom line is that we're all different. Be methodical, start slow, don't add a bunch of new supplements all at once and adjust your dose as needed.Also, the glycyrrhizin concentration is nowhere near the 16% or 22% stated around this page, it's actually between 8% and 11% according to the manufacturer. This product loses one star for not clearly labeling the glycyrrhizin concentration.
