Question:
Are glandular extracts from animals effective when taking them orally? My doctor told me that my stomach would break them down into useless particles. Is this true?
Answer:
Science has, without question, confirmed that certain glandular preparations and hormones are quite effective when taken orally. It is well established that a number of glandular preparations are effective orally because of active hormone or enzyme content, e.g., thyroid, adrenal cortex, and pancreatin preparations. There is also a good deal of literature support for pharmaceutical grade liver, aorta, and thymus extracts, and some support for pituitary, spleen, orchic (testes), and ovarian extracts as well. However, despite this scientific support, many doctors still question the effectiveness of glandular products on human health.
It is critical that consumers purchase glandular products from well-known reputable companies as improperly processed glandular material will not produce results. The biologically active material such as enzymes, soluble proteins, natural lipid factors, vitamins, minerals and hormone precursors are destroyed or eliminated if the product is not prepared properly.
