Description
Adrenal Extract is a glandular compound sourced from animal adrenal glands, containing naturally occurring bioactive components. It modulates the body's stress response system, influencing cortisol and adrenaline activity. While not a key bioactive substance, it has been traditionally incorporated into functional health practices for endocrine support. Its biochemical properties are linked to metabolic stability, resilience, and inflammation regulation. Recognized for its physiological effects, adrenal extract remains an established component in glandular formulations targeting hormonal balance.
