THORNEStress Balance (Formerly Phytisone) - Adrenal Support Supplement with Vitamin C & Ashwagandha - Dairy-Free Health Support* - 60 Capsules - 30 Servings

Quality vitamin company!

My adrenal insufficiency condition is precarious; my prescription dosages have gone up and down a few years, and we're still trying to find a stable dosage for the long-term. Before trying this product, somedays I had no warning before sudden exhaustion would "hit me" even when physical exertion was what I thought is mild, such as grocery shopping. The sudden hits also came when going through "good" stress (e.g. elation & joy at family wedding) or through "bad" stress (e.g. my service dog passed away, a relative was hospitalized). I tried this supplement to see if it would help with my prescription medicine, and it did. This is the first VEGETARIAN supplement I've found to help adrenal glands, whereas all the others I found had animal gland ingredients that made my situation less stable.My results:--After 1 week on Phytisone, my daily energy seemed to feel a little stronger.--After 1 MONTH, my energy from one day to the next is now fairly consistent, much stabler, but my overall energy is still limited. This supplement does NOT increase total energy or ability to do more physical exertion than before. It increases endurance.--Previously, I required an extra RX pill 2 or 3 days per week, but now I needed extra only 2 or 3 times in the last month. My condition is much stabler, which was what I sought by trying this. (I still require naps, yet they are about 20-30min shorter now. Also, I can wake up on my own (no clock) much easier, and I don't feel it is a STRUGGLE to get get up, take my medicines, get dressed, etc. This product greatly reduced my FLuctuations between having a "good" day/morning and a "bad" one because my morning energy is more consisent.--Last week was the first time in months I grocery shopped through the whole store without sudden sweats, without tremors/shakes, and without feeling like I was going to fall down before I could sit on the floor. I was surprised and elated! However, by the time I got to the car, I definitely needed an extra half RX pill (not a whole pill!), and I fell asleep almost immediately. Before using this supplement,I could not shop the whole store OR shop as long as I had done. My doctor is happy with the results.THIS IS NOT A "FIX" FOR ADRENAL GLAND INSUFFICIENCY (aka Addison's Disease), which can be life-threatening. If you find this supplement causes a "big" change or improvement for you (and only you will know how "big" is big), see a doctor as soon as possible.Use this supplement as a "temporary" supplement for a 'highly stressful time.' If you need it a long time, see your doctor.

Just started taking it but I'm very optimistic about this product

My favorite brand of supplement with a stress free formula. I don't know if they are working but figured it can't hurt.. wish they could actually eliminate the cause of my stresses but perhaps in the future :)

This, paired with Memoractiv from the same brand, are the only supplements which have ever worked for me. If I don't take them, the difference is noticeable, as I feel so much worse and am stressed and exhausted. Sometimes I forget to take them, and the difference on how much worse I am doing, is what reminds me that I forgot them. Highly recommend.

So I have social anxiety and general anxiety and been going through an awful break up and a new job. This is where my anxiety comes to play. 1. i would get this nagging feeling to look at my ex socials and then make my self even more sad seeing what I saw 2. my new job requires me to be social and I freaked out thinking about socializing with strangers AND freak out while socializing! This pill and magnesium are literally the answers to my prayers. They work so well where if I do have a thought Im so relax that my mind is like “who gives a crap about his social media idc” and i would go back to doing what I was doing. For my new jobs I am able to approach people and speak without shaking or voice cracking. This is doing a complete 360 for me!

I noticed no difference whatsoever taking this. For the price, I definitely would not order again.
