Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
Dried, powdered adrenal gland tissue, typically from cattle or pigs, sold as a "glandular" supplement.
Why it’s used
Taken by some in the belief that it supports the body's own adrenal function, often marketed around the concept of low energy or stress-related fatigue.
What the evidence says
There is no established clinical evidence that oral desiccated adrenal supplements affect adrenal hormone levels or function in humans. The broader concept of "adrenal fatigue" that this product is often marketed around is not a diagnosis recognized by mainstream endocrinology bodies, and glandular extracts have not been shown in controlled trials to produce a measurable physiological effect when taken orally.
