Adrenal Restore To Maximize the Healing of Your Adrenal Gland

Many Americans live fast-paced, stressful lifestyles and eat nutrient devoid foods. This leads the majority of Americans to experience signs of adrenal dysfunction, also known as hypoadrenia, at some point in their lives.

Intense or prolonged stress can negatively impact the adrenal glands and lead to hypoadrenia. If the stress stimulus persists and/or the adrenal glands are not nourished through proper nutrition, the end stage of hypoadrenia can occur, known as adrenal exhaustion. In this stage, the adrenal gland has been overworked to the point that its ability to produce corticosteroid hormones and sex hormones in adequate amounts is compromised. As a result, the body cannot maintain homeostasis for important processes, including the ability to manage stress, blood pressure, fluid balance, immune responses, and energy production. 

Common symptoms of adrenal fatigue include:

• Brain fog*

• Depression*

• Anxiety*

• Low blood sugar*

• Fatigue*

• Sleep abnormalities*

• Overactive immune system*

• Low thyroid function*

THE ADRENAL RESTORE DIFFERENCE

Adrenal Restore is a unique combination of adaptogenic herbs, along with an adrenal glandular, a calming amino acid and an essential vitamin cofactor needed to restore the health and vitality of the adrenal gland.

Bovine Adrenal Cortex

Glandular therapy has been used successfully in medicine for thousands of years and is common in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Bovine Adrenal cortexplays a vital role in restoring the adrenal gland’s ability to produce the corticosteroid hormones and allow homeostasis to happen. The adrenal gland responds to the bovine glandular because it resembles the actual human adrenal tissue.

Pantothenic Acid

Many people suffering from adrenal exhaustion are deficient in the B-vitamin, Pantothenic Acid (B5). It is involved in the production of important stress management hormones, including cortisol and progesterone^1-2. In addition, Pantothenic acid has been shown to increase Acetyl CoA levels in the body, leading to increased cellular energy production³.

L-Theanine

Theanine is a major amino acid that can aid in stress reduction by providing fast-acting mental relaxation. Research suggests Theanine has an impact on brain waves within an hour of ingestion. The anti-stress effects of Theanine have been suggested to occur via the inhibition of cortical neuron excitation⁴.

Eleuthero, Schisandra, + Ashwaganda

Adaptogenic herbs, including Eleuthero, Schisandra and Ashwaganda, are unique because they have the ability to provide a nonspecific enhancement of the body’s hormones. In other words, they help bring hormone levels to homeostatic levels, whether they are abnormally high or low. In the case of adrenal exhaustion, this blend of adaptogenic herbs will focus on helping increase the corticosteroid hormones to their normal levels. This leads to the ability to better handle stress and fight fatigue.
