A refined adaptogenic formula used when stress support needs to be broader or more tolerable. Includes glandular components, micronutrients, and adaptogens to support ongoing adrenal demand.*
NuMedica AdrenaMed GL50® is a refined adaptogenic and nutrient formula used when stress support needs to be broader or more tolerable. It combines adaptogenic herbs with micronutrients and glandular components commonly included to support ongoing adrenal demand.
This formula is typically considered when standard adaptogenic approaches feel insufficient, too stimulating, or difficult to tolerate over time.
AdrenaMed GL50 is often used in situations such as:
In these situations, formulas that combine adaptogens with glandular and micronutrient support are sometimes considered.
AdrenaMed GL50 is not intended to replace medical care, address diagnosed endocrine conditions, or compensate for chronic sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, or unmanaged stress. It is also not designed to act as a stimulant or provide immediate energy.
This formula is best understood as a refinement option rather than a stronger or more aggressive approach.
Some individuals find that concentrated adaptogenic formulas feel too stimulating or narrow for long-term use. Others notice that stress patterns involve multiple systems rather than a single pathway.
AdrenaMed GL50 reflects this by combining adaptogens with micronutrients and glandular components, offering a more evenly distributed form of support.
Glandular components and trace nutrients have traditionally been included in formulas designed to support complex stress patterns. When combined with adaptogenic herbs, this approach aims to support resilience without pushing energy or stress responses in one direction.
This makes AdrenaMed GL50 a consideration for individuals who prefer a steadier, less concentrated formulation.
The formulas below represent the most common comparison points at this stage.
| Corti-B Plex | AdrenaMed | AdrenaMed GL50 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form | Targeted B vitamins | Adaptogenic herbs with B vitamins | Adaptogens with glandular and micronutrient support |
| Primary active per serving | Pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 | Cordyceps, rhodiola, ginseng | Adaptogens, glandular tissues, trace nutrients |
| Release style | Standard oral capsules | Standard oral capsules | Standard oral capsules |
| Adjustability | Used during higher demand | Used during sustained stress | Used when tolerance or complexity matters |
| Taste / format | Capsules | Capsules | Capsules |
| Best for | Nutrient-focused stress support | Persistent adrenal stress | Sensitivity or complex stress patterns |
Some individuals prefer a more concentrated adaptogenic approach when tolerance is not a concern. Others step back to nutrient-only formulas when stress levels stabilize.
AdrenaMed GL50 is most often chosen when balance and tolerability matter more than intensity.
NuMedica AdrenaMed GL50® is designed to support ongoing adrenal demand in a steady, measured way. It fits best within a long-term routine that also includes adequate nutrition, rest, movement, and realistic stress management.
This formula provides an alternative for individuals who want adrenal support without increasing formulation intensity.

AdrenaMed GL50 is commonly used when stress feels ongoing and multifaceted, especially when simpler adrenal or adaptogenic approaches feel insufficient or difficult to tolerate. It is often believed that stress affects energy, recovery, and resilience in more complex ways.
Both formulas include adaptogenic herbs, but they differ in structure. AdrenaMed focuses on standardized adaptogens paired with select B vitamins. AdrenaMed GL50 adds glandular components and a broader range of micronutrients, creating a more distributed and often gentler form of support.
Some individuals find concentrated adaptogenic formulas too stimulating or narrowly focused for long-term use. GL50 is often chosen when tolerance, balance, or formulation sensitivity are a concern rather than when stronger stimulation is needed.
No. AdrenaMed GL50 is not designed to stimulate or push energy levels. Its formulation emphasizes steadiness and resilience rather than quick or forced energy changes.
AdrenaMed GL50 is commonly used during extended periods of stress when demands remain consistent over time. Some people adjust or simplify their approach as stress patterns change, while others continue GL50 when ongoing support feels appropriate.
Individuals looking for nutrient-only adrenal support may prefer targeted B-vitamin formulas. Those who tolerate concentrated adaptogens well may choose standard adaptogenic options. AdrenaMed GL50 fits between these approaches when broader support and tolerability matter most.

Cortisol, often called the "stress hormone," plays an important role in the body's response to stress. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, essential for maintaining the body's systems and regulating various physiological processes. While cortisol is important for survival, chronically high levels can harm physical and mental health.
