Supplements to Support STRESSED Out Adrenals
Adrenal fatigue is not an official diagnosis… but its symptoms are VERY real.
In fact, the stress, fatigue, and brain fog can be SO severe they reduce your quality of life.
There’s a good reason so many people are battling tired, overworked adrenals. These small triangular-shaped glands on top of your kidneys pump out adrenaline and cortisol in response to stress.
And, let’s face it, it’s hard to find many folks these days who aren’t dealing with some sort of chronic stress.
Fortunately, you can support these overworked adrenal glands with proper nutrients and, in turn, send your quality of life SOARING.
Ashwagandha tops the list for adrenal support. This herb is renowned for its ability to reduce stress levels.
In fact, ashwagandha is referred to as an adaptogen because it helps you “adapt” to life’s stressors.
It works by decreasing cortisol levels, which in turn can dial down anxiety, depression, and stress.
Ginseng makes the list because it combats fatigue. Research suggests it works by improving cognitive performance and increasing neurotransmitter levels in your brain.
Magnesium is a mighty mineral with hundreds of responsibilities in your body. Some of these jobs impact your body’s stress response.
For example, magnesium lowers cortisol levels through its impact on the HPA axis and improves sleep by reducing neurotransmitter activity.
B vitamins reduce stress and improve mood because they support mood-boosting serotonin production and are used to form adrenal hormones.
Of course, the BEST way to support your adrenals is to take steps to reduce chronic stress. In the meantime, supplements like these can help improve your mood, sleep, and your body’s stress response.
There’s no shame in getting a little extra help along the way.
