Diseases and Symptoms: Addison's Disease
Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism) is caused by a lower than normal production of hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone, by the adrenal glands.
There are two types of Addison's disease, referred to as primary and secondary Addison's disease. Primary Addison’s disease is the most common form; it may be further subdivided into typical and atypical disease.
Addison's can be a very difficult case to manage medically and we use whole food nutrients to help support the adrenal glands and the rest of the hormone system.
