Has anyone used these supplements? My chiro wants to put me on $65/month supply of them. I'm not finding much in way of reviews when I search online. Has anyone used these?

Yes, i use a supplement for adrenal support and a mineral supplement.
I'm not spending any where near that much a month though.
My acupuncturist (who is also a nutritionist) carries Standard Process.
However, she does not profit from the sale of supplements.

Standard Process supplements tend to be reasonably priced and they've been around for quite a long time.
What does your chiropractor recommend?
I'm wondering why the cost of just a months supply is so high.
You may want to suggest to him/her that you'd like to start with perhaps just one supplement and see how effective it is ... see how your system responds.
You can participate in your treatment in whatever way suits you.
If he/she isn't open to that, find another chiropractor.

My family and I use Standard Process products. The first month of my adrenal protocol was pricey, but once I stopped taking the adrenal dessicated, the cost has become reasonable. My chiro also does not sell the supplements for profit.

Maybe your chiro will only have you take $65 worth for the first month, then you can omit one supplement or decrease your dosage. Do you know how long you will need to take the dose he/she reccommends?

He says that he's giving the supplements at a 25% discount. I paid $33 for a two week supply, and he said to follow the bottle's recommendation of one pill with each meal...

We've used Standard Process products for years, and as far as I know they have a great reputation.

standard process is the real deal, personally the only supplement i would take. They will help but not by themselves. You will have to follow the orders of whoever is telling you to take them. What supplement did they recommend you take?

I assume that some kind of health care professional has recommended this course of action?
With Standard Process that's usually (always?) the case.
If you do have someone guiding you (do you trust him/her?), what is the point of the question?
You need to learn how to be objective and assess for yourself whether or not a supplement is effective.
The problem with taking so many different supplements all at once and at the beginning of treatment is that it can be a challenge to have that objectivity.
So hopefully whoever is treating you knows what he/she is doing.
I like Standard Process supplements very much but no one can tell you what is "working" or what isn't ... that's up to you to determine by getting to know your system / body and learning how to be objective.
Hopefully the person you're working with is honest and skillful and objective and with his/her help, you can come to know whether the treatment is appropriate ... is helping you.
