All About Adrenal Supporting Herbs…

Supporting the adrenal glands is of the utmost importance, because they control many hormones that directly affect our moods, ability to handle stress, and reproductive organs…just to name a few. These small little glands are part of the endocrine system, and are about the size of the top of your thumb. If these little glands fail to function properly it can and will make you very, very sick. The good news is there are several herbs and supplements that can help you keep your adrenal glands functioning at top capacity. Also, if you have an adrenal problem, such as Addison’s, taking an adrenal supplement can help prevent those dreaded Addison’s crises.

Some great examples of herbs and vitamins that support and benefit the adrenal glands are…

Vitamin C: Is an all around good for you vitamin. However, in the case of adrenal health vitamin C is completely necessary to rebuild and restore health to the adrenal gland. Many doctors recommend that individuals with adrenal complications consume higher than normal amounts of this particular vitamin.

Folic Acid: It is widely known that individuals who are overly stressed or have mal-functioning adrenal glands can greatly benefit from folic acid. This is because many of these individuals are folic acid deficient. Folic acid is extremely important to cellular health and mood regulation. It is also suggested that anyone who takes high amounts of Vitamin C should take Folic acid as well.

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is a great product for anyone who is feeling a little less than normal. However, if your adrenal glands are not up to par, vitamin B12 is an excellent supplement to take, to counter act some of the less than desirable effects of a failing adrenal gland, such as mood and mental dysfunction.

Ashwagandha Root: Recent research has shown that this particular herb is excellent to take if you are experiencing adrenal exhaustion. The adrenal glands are responsible for our stress response and if they are not working as adequately as they should the body can’t deal with stress appropriately. However, the Ashwagandha Root is a great all natural way to help the body deal with stress…this takes a load off of the adrenal gland.

Pantothenic Acid: Pantothenic Acid, a B complex vitamin, also known as vitamin B5 is absolutely essential to adrenal support. Pantothenic Acid is needed to produce energy inside the adrenal gland itself.

Rhodiola Rosea Root: Is a great adrenal support herb as it possesses the ability to boost the body’s failing energy levels, reduce depression, as well as fight infection and help with impotence. All of these things can be caused by a failing adrenal gland.

Licorice Root: Is known to increase energy, endurance, vitality, and acts as a mild tonic to nurture the adrenals.

Any of these vitamins and herbs will greatly improve the health of your body and adrenal glands. However, there is an all in one product available that contains all of these top ingredients. This formula alone is a virtual adrenal power supplement. Adrenal Xtra is one of the top selling formulas available on the website and is a sure bet to alleviating adrenal exhaustion!
