GSF Complex
Genestra Brands
Overview
The GSF Complex is designed to support adrenal function using a blend of vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and glandular tissues. While some ingredients, such as vitamin C and pantothenic acid, are included at clinically relevant dosages, the overall formulation contains some ingredients with limited evidence for supporting adrenal function. The inclusion of bovine adrenal tissue, along with a variety of herbal extracts at low doses, contributes to uncertainty regarding the overall effectiveness of the product.
