[Potential use of nutrients for correcting the adrenocortical system]

Two 60-day studies in which 10 healthy volunteers participated were carried out. In both studies stress situations were simulated by a chamber rise to an altitude of 8000 m, anticipation of exposure to acceleration, and psychological tests. The changes found were dependent on both the type of the stressor applied and duration of the exposure. Nutrient supplements did not influence the adrenocortical function of the adrenals.
