FAQ
If the adrenal hormone production begins to regulate, will this continue without the support of the Adrenal Support Essentials Gold kit? Or will the supplements always be needed to maintain production control?
Every case is different, but for the most part pets with conditions like Addison's and Cushing's will require treatment and/or supplements for life. If you do choose to try to wean off of the supplements or medications, you should only do so with close monitoring by your veterinarian.
The product description says Supraglan may reduce hunger and urination, can this become dangerous over-time? What can I do to help this?
One symptom of Cushing's disease may be increased hunger, thirst and urination. This is due to the overproduction of corticosteroids in the body. Supraglan can help to balance this system, bring the appetite and other symptoms back to normal. Supraglan does not have a direct effect on these symptoms, meaning it will not decrease the appetite, drinking or urination of a dog who does not need that type of balance.
Can I freeze these supplements after opening to increase their shelf life?
We don't recommend freezing the supplements as this can alter their properties, potentially making the herbs less effective.
Is there any other recommendations you have for more pet who has Adrenal disease?
Nutrition and diet play a vital role in your pet's health no matter the condition. If cooking for them at home is an option, then we would recommend a nutritional plan with Dr. Amanda. Each plan is fully customized to your pet's age, breed, and health condition.
