Anybody used or heard about Ortho Adapt supplement?

[BoomSiva]

I been off med for 2 years now and i'm still suffering from anxiety and can't handle any kind of stress without getting back into a wave with extreme feeling of hopelessness with suicidal thoughts and crying spell. I'm looking for a supplement to help me cope with stress, a friend of mine told me about Ortho Adapt and i want to know if this will help my symptoms?

First, this is a compound (and it's expen$ive!).  So if you react to it, you do not know what you are reacting to:  the ashwaganda?  the liquorice extract?  The porcine glandular?  The B-5?  The Rhodiola?  The ginseng?

Any of these can cause reactions. In combination, 1+1=10 potential reactions.  1+1+1+1+1+1 = 60 potential reactions.

 

If you wish to try these supplements for calming your adrenals, I would not recommend liquorice, ever - as it is associated with palpitations and heart arrhythmias.  It astonishes me that they put this is so many supplements, and it gives me an indication that this is a kitchen sink attitude - throw a bunch of stuff together and market it.

From my experience, the benefits of these as single supplements, in order:

Porcine glandular - I take this  (I have no thyroid or ovaries, and so need glandular support for my adrenals)

Ashwaganda - I take this

Rhodiola - I have used, but it is activating and expensive.  Some people have gotten good results from this, I got some results, but not enough to justify the price.

Ginseng - I have used this, but more as a "tonic" than a supplement.  Overuse can be stimulating.

 

I'm sorry for your struggles.  I recognise your desperation, but running to bottles of stuff like this can cause more problems than it solves.  And - rob you blind of your money.

 

When trying supplements, try one ingredient at a time, and start slow, with a sliver (I think it was Alto said what fits on the tine of a fork) to ensure you don't react to it, and gradually build up to a full dose.
