A: For those with high blood pressure, I recommend taking Daily Stress Formula by Pure Encapsulations instead. It doesn’t have licorice, so it’s a better option for that. Also, you may want to check out the Troubleshooting Cortisol/Blood Pressure Issues guide, located in the portal, under the Handouts tab. I also have a supplement guide specifically for those with High Blood Pressure/High Cortisol, which excludes the Adrenal Support by Rootcology and replaces it with the Daily Stress Formula by Pure Encapsulations. Please email the team at adrenal@thyroidpharmacist.com to request that supplement guide.
Licorice also helps stretch our cortisol throughout the day, so a lot of times people with low cortisol and that awful fatigue may benefit from that. However, people who have
high cortisol don’t need that.
