Description
If you’re overstressed and exhausted all the time, your adrenal glands may need support. The primary function of the adrenal glands is to release hormones in response to stress. Cortisol, the main “stress hormone,” raises energy and activates your nervous system to help you handle physical and mental challenges. Along with other compounds such as dopamine and norepinephrine, cortisol regulates your body’s “fight-or flight” response.
When stress is ongoing, cortisol doesn’t return to normal levels as intended. Instead it stays high for long periods. A normal cortisol curve peaks in the early morning to get you out of bed and then slopes downward over the course of the day. When you’re under stress all day long, cortisol will remain high into the evening, leading to anxiety, sleeplessness, and impaired memory.
The nutrients in Adrenal PM aid in the reduction of excess cortisol and help promote relaxation.* They help the body metabolize excess cortisol and prevent cortisol overproduction in the first place.* Along with the anti-stress nutrients magnesium and vitamin C, Adrenal PM contains adaptogen nutrients that help promote homeostasis so that you cope better with stress.*
Adrenal PM is designed for people who feel “wired” and restless.* Other symptoms include extreme fatigue, trouble focusing, low mood, irritability, and weight gain.*
Adrenal PM is most effective as part of a lifestyle program aimed at managing stress.* By coping with stress through nutrition, mind-body practices, and supplementation, you can effectively turn stress into a positive.*
Adrenal PM contains the following ingredients:
-
Phosphatidylserine (PS): A nutrient that helps metabolize cortisol and improve brain function, PS eases mental fatigue by balancing the body’s response to stress. PS supports brain health for better focus and mental clarity.*
-
Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is used to balance cortisol release and support restful sleep. It also targets the immune and endocrine systems for better homeostasis.*
-
Rhodiola: Known as an adaptogen, rhodiola encourages a healthy response to physical, emotional, and mental stress by balancing cortisol levels. Studies show it supports healthy mood, focus, and positive mental outlook.*
-
Schisandra: Schisandra Berry helps cleanse the liver by improving the enzymes involved in liver detoxification. It enhances the body’s natural resistance to stress while supporting mental endurance and metabolic health.*
-
Pantothenic Acid: Also known as Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid helps the adrenals produce healthy amounts of cortisol. Supplementing with vitamin B5 restores endocrine levels, also helping to avoid excess cortisol output and adrenal gland enlargement.*
-
Adrenal Concentrate: Derived from bovine adrenal glands, Adrenal Concentrate supports cortisol balance to help you overcome morning fatigue. Supplementing with freeze-dried animal glands can help organs regenerate and strengthen themselves.*
-
Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps metabolize cortisol and lower stress. It also supports balanced brain chemistry, lowering rates of depression. Replenishing your vitamin C levels daily is important to keep your adrenals functioning properly because vitamin C is not stored in the body.*
-
L-Theanine: An amino acid found in green tea, L-theanine can reduce mental and physical stress, improving cognition and sleep. L-Theanine balances brain chemicals, raising calming serotonin and helping the brain enter a more relaxed state.*
-
Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 helps restore equilibrium to your nervous system by supporting the manufacture of key neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).*
-
Magnesium Biglycinate: Known as the “anti-stress” mineral, magnesium calms the nervous system and fights inflammation associated with high cortisol. It helps stabilize mood and promote feelings of calm. Studies show that magnesium supplementation can improve sleep quality by 60 percent in people who suffer high levels of stress.*
Quick Facts
Understanding The Body’s Stress Response
Are you tired all the time?
Do you have trouble winding down at night for bed?
Do you feel like you can never turn your brain off no matter how tired you are?
All of these are symptoms of unbalanced cortisol. The trouble with stress and fatigue of this kind is that it can’t be cured with a single good night’s sleep or a week’s vacation. Those can help temporarily, but as soon as you get back to the rigors of daily life, stress and all the problems that come with it will return.
You’ve got to go to the root of the problem. Nutrition is one strategy for supporting your stress response. Handling stress is a nutritionally dense process. Your body burns through key nutrients when it is pumping out cortisol. These need to be restored to clear cortisol and return your body to homeostasis after a stressful experience.
There are also adaptogenic herbs that help the body respond to stress appropriately. Many of these herbs have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine due to their ability to rejuvenate and balance the endocrine and immune systems.
Healthy eating and lifestyle activities also help you handle stress. Eating a balanced, high-quality diet with plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables helps you avoid cortisol spikes when blood sugar drops. Mind-body practices, including yoga, deep breathing, and meditation have also been shown to restore cortisol balance making them the perfect pairing with adrenal support supplements.
