Hi
I have just had the results of an adrenal stress index test and my cortisol and DHEA hormones are pretty much depleted due to constant anxiety.
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this or any supplements I can take to help replenish them (apparantly they will replenish themselves naturally as the anxiety lessons)?
The lab where I had the test done said there is something you can get from America, but nothing from the NHS.
Thanks
Helen

Had same tests done at NP Tech Services in newmarket along with melatonin which stayed low at night so tried melatonin from the US - not sure about the cortisol as mine was high - i have found that managing the anxiety with psycologist and nutritional therapy has been more effective than any gp meds

my testing came through a clinical nutritionist after i read patrick "optimum holfords nutrition for the mind"

hope all goes well
