Thorne Phytisone 60 capsules

Phytisone is a unique, non-glandular formula of botanicals and nutrients to help optimize the adrenal gland's response to stress. Astragalus membranaceus is used, usually in combination with ginseng, to promote energy and support immune function. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) appears to have a modulating effect on cortisol activity. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has the ability to increase the absorption of other substances. Perhaps the two best known adaptogens (substances that improve the body's resistance to stress) are Panax ginseng and Eleutherococcus senticosus. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), often called Indian ginseng, is considered the preeminent adaptogen in the Ayurvedic medical system. Ascorbic acid, thiamin ( vitamin B1 ), pantethine (the active form of vitamin B5 ), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the active form of vitamin B6 ), and zinc are included in Phytisone for their strengthening and supporting role in optimizing of adrenal function. It is recommended to take 2 capsules once or twice daily or as recommended by your healthcare professional. This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. If you are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive, do not use this product. Due to ginger's anticoagulant effects, phytisone should be used with caution or avoided in people receiving anticoagulant therapy. Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some people in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.
