Supplements for Adrenal Fatigue and Stress

01 Jan Supplements for Adrenal Fatigue and Stress

The adrenal glands manage the body’s response to internal and external stressors. A hectic and stressful lifestyle can contribute to the overstimulation of the adrenal glands, which causes the erratic release of cortisol, a stress hormone. Adaptogenic herbs provide gentle adrenal support and modulate the stress response. They are particularly effective because they have a unique balancing action that can adjust adrenal function appropriately. Because of their gentle action, they are quite safe for long term use, with no known drug interactions.

Over the course of nearly 20 years I’ve honed in on optimizing adrenal function using adaptogens for hormone imbalances ranging from menopause to physical exhaustion and infertility. From a naturopathic medical perspective, we are always trying to address the root cause of dis-balance and the following supplements are formulated by myself using evidence-based applications of botanical herbs with my years of clinical experience as a physician.

Adrenal Forte

Patients frequently complain of fatigue and lack of energy due to their stressful lifestyles. Adrenal Forte is specifically designed to help maintain energy, increase resistance to stress and help calm the nervous system during stressful life events.

Benefits of Adrenal Forte 

• Improves mood and mental performance
• Maintains energy
• Calming to the nervous system
• Combats fatigue
• Supports hormone balance

Cortisol Reducer

Cortisol Reducer helps reduce stress hormone, promote relaxation, alleviate fatigue and chronic apprehensiveness, without the use of habit-forming ingredients. It can be taken in conjunction with Adrenal Forte when additional energy and stress support is needed.

Benefits of Cortisol Reducer:

• Effective: 71% of study participants experienced improved sleep
• Fast-Acting: reduced cortisol by more than 60% after only 24 hours

A 28-day pilot study using the ingredients in this supplement found that stress was significantly reduced during the course of the study. In a subgroup tested for salivary cortisol levels, a drop of more than 60% was observed after the first dose and averaged 75-83% reduction at study’s end.
