Now we want to look at what can we do to repair our adrenals?

First of all lets talk about lifestyle techniques.  Mediation, prayer, tai chi, yoga, and various relaxation techniques should be considered.  Remeber its the over stimulation and lack of control in life that suppresses the actions of our adrenal glands.

Basic nutrients that have been shown to support adrenal activity are vitamin C, Magnesium, B vitamins (especially b4) are the main ones to help build the adrenals.

Adaptogens are complex’s or single nutrients that will allow the adrenals to kick back so they can ride on autopilot as well as help support a consistent enery throughout the day.  Examples are cordyceps (our favoriate), licorice, ashwanganda, ginseng, and rhodiola.

Glandulars are used when adrenal outflow has been even more compromised.  This would be those whose lab tests represent this or possibly have great energy drops throughout the day.

When adrenal outflow is severly comprimised a doctor might consider putting an individual on cortef, which is kin to replenishing the normal cortisol levels in the system.  This should be carefully monitored if chosen to do so.

Remember, quality nutrients are a must, you can find more information in our consumer awareness guide..Are Your Vitamins Making You Sick?
