Adrenal nutrition formulas often highlight pantothenic acid, vitamin C, and traditional adaptogenic herbs such as licorice. This article walks through the featured ingredients in CHF #24 Adrenal+ 120 Capsules—and what NIH ODS and NCCIH report about these nutrients.
Full ingredient list (per 1-capsule serving): Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) 50 mg (56% DV); Riboflavin (vitamin B2 as R-5-P) 1 mg (77% DV); Niacin (as niacinamide) 12 mg NE (75% DV); Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) 10 mg (586% DV); Folate (as 20 mcg L-methylfolate) 34 mcg DFE (9% DV); Pantothenic acid (as D-calcium pantothenate) 100 mg (2000% DV); Iodine (as kelp) 50 mcg (33% DV); and a proprietary blend 170 mg of adrenal substance, alfalfa leaf, cayenne fruit, chickweed (aerial parts), echinacea purpurea root, juniper berry, licorice root, parsley leaf, safflower, saw palmetto berry, and a trace mineral blend. Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica, gelatin (capsule). Suggested use: one capsule daily, or as directed.
Why is pantothenic acid central to adrenal nutrition?
ODS explains that pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is essential for synthesizing coenzyme A (CoA), which is required for fatty-acid metabolism and countless anabolic and catabolic pathways—including those involved in steroid hormone production. Adult Adequate Intakes are about 5 mg/day; deficiency is rare with a varied diet. CHF #24 provides 100 mg pantothenic acid per capsule (2000% DV), reflecting the high-B5 tradition in adrenal-support formulas rather than a food-level dose alone.
What do vitamin C and B6 add?
ODS notes that vitamin C concentrations are especially high in the adrenal glands, and that vitamin C is required for collagen, carnitine, and neurotransmitter synthesis plus antioxidant defense. CHF #24 supplies 50 mg vitamin C as calcium ascorbate (56% DV) alongside 10 mg vitamin B6 as P-5-P (586% DV). Vitamin B6 participates in more than 100 enzyme reactions, including amino-acid metabolism pathways that intersect with adrenal biochemistry. Riboflavin, niacinamide, and methylfolate complete a compact B-complex frame around the high pantothenic acid dose.
How do licorice, echinacea, and glandular companions fit?
NCCIH describes licorice root’s long traditional use for respiratory and digestive topics. Oral licorice that contains glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and affect potassium when used in large amounts or long term—so clinician guidance matters, especially for people with hypertension or kidney concerns. Deglycyrrhizinated forms are a separate category; CHF #24 lists licorice root within the 170 mg proprietary blend.
Echinacea purpurea root (NCCIH: may slightly reduce cold incidence) appears with alfalfa, cayenne, chickweed, juniper, parsley, safflower, saw palmetto, and bovine adrenal substance—Country Health’s classic glandular-plus-herb style.
Taken together, the high pantothenic acid dose, vitamin C, activated B vitamins, and licorice-inclusive herbal blend reflect Country Health’s long-standing adrenal nutrition philosophy in a single daily capsule.
How do these ingredients work together?
CHF #24 centers 100 mg pantothenic acid with vitamin C, activated B vitamins, iodine from kelp, and a 170 mg adrenal-herbal blend in a once-daily capsule. The 120-capsule bottle is designed for adults who want Country Health’s adrenal nutrition approach rather than pantothenic acid alone.
Who might enjoy it: adults seeking high pantothenic acid with vitamin C and licorice companions, people who prefer a single daily capsule, and anyone whose clinician agrees an adrenal-support formula fits their stress-nutrition routine.
Who should check with a clinician first?
Please check with your clinician first if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have high blood pressure, low potassium, kidney disease, or heart disease (licorice/glycyrrhizin concerns).
- Have thyroid disease (formula includes iodine from kelp).
- Take corticosteroids or other prescription medicines that may interact with licorice.
- Have a daisy-family allergy (possible echinacea sensitivity).
