@Paralee oh that's so interesting you took it for high cortisol??! I was given it for
low cortisol. I'm not expert, but from things I've read and my understanding it does help increase as it's a precursor. You can google steroid pathways in images and you can see lots of info there, how progetserone becomes cortisol. I have heard though that DHEA can lower high cortisol... so.... perhaps the progesterone was being converted to dhea, therefore lowering cortisol? Just a thought.
I would give it a try, but honestly for me nothing has helped my adrenals, I have tried evvveeeeerryyything. I know there are a lot of people out there though who have major improvements by treating adrenals. It's my own personal theory that for those of us who have a virus or something like that going on, adrenals are not going to get fixed until that's dealt with... but that's just my current theory haha!
