Potent Amounts of Core Nutrients, Adaptogens, and Bioflavonoids

The success of Support Adrenals is largely due to the widespread use of this formula by clinicians. In therapies to address fatigue, hormone imbalance, and difficulties with aging, clinicians often recommend Support Adrenals to help in reducing the impacts of chronic stress on the body and mind. Support Adrenals' blend of vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, bioflavonoids, and trace hormones is targeted at empowering, and protecting, the adrenal glands.

The adrenal glands are two small organs responsible for an enormous responsibility: Producing hormones – such as DHEA and pregnenolone – to empower the body’s response to stress and provide energy, immune support, nervous system regulation, and much more. They play an integral role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is the communication system - directed by your brain - which your body depends on to operate at full potential. In a stressful world, diet and exercise only go so far. Supplementing with nutrients that strengthen adrenal health is an important part of your routine, to maintain health and protect against the damaging impacts of stress.

B CORE

• Niacin (Vitamin B3): B3 is a strong methyl acceptor that has the potential to moderate stress-induced overproduction of neurotransmitters. Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6): Vitamin B6 is a cofactor for numerous enzymatic processes throughout the body. It is a necessary cofactor for the metabolism of several important neurotransmitters associated with stress.
• Methylcobalamin (B12): Vitamin B12 is critical for the functioning of the brain. It affects metabolism in every cell in the body and is directly involved in energy production. Pantothenic Acid (B5): In animal studies, pantothenic acid has been shown to help raise cortisol levels. Pantothenic acid also appears to improve stress resiliency, acting as a modulating agent for adrenal function. Pantothenic acid is a precursor for acetyl coenzyme A, a compound essential for the production of hormones.
• Folate (B9, as 5-MTHF): Folate helps support adrenal function, maintain a healthy nervous system, and is a required component of numerous metabolic processes. Biotin (B7): Biotin plays a major role in energy production by acting as a coenzyme for several carboxylase enzymes involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids.
• Thiamine (B1): Thiamine is involved in many body functions, including the flow of electrolytes in and out of nerve and muscle cells, digestion, and carbohydrate metabolism. Riboflavin (B2): The main role of riboflavin is to help with the conversion of carbohydrates to energy in the body. It also helps to convert vitamin B6 and folate to their active forms.

C-FLAV BLEND

• Vitamin C: With enhanced absorption from the complementary bioflavonoids in the formula, this blend of water-soluble Ascorbic Acid and fat-soluble Ascorbyl Palmitate nourishes the adrenal tissues.
• Citrus Peel Complex: This broad spectrum bioflavonoid mix is composed of stabilized powder from multiple citrus peel sources, representing a powerful broad-spectrum antioxidant role in the formula.
• Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone and Naringin: Besides their well-documented benefits for supporting ascorbic acid synthesis and strengthening tissues, hesperidin and naringin play important roles in stress-resistance.
• Rutin: This extensively studied bioflavonoid is best known for its role in supporting the body’s metabolic response to stress.

HPA AXIS FACTORS

• Choline & Inositol: Together, choline and inositol are considered a brain-boosting force. They promote cell health and manufacture the fuel from which choline can be metabolized, ensuring that the brain is able to synthesize acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter associated with cognitive enhancement and memory formation.
• Rosemary Leaf Extract: Rosemary leaf supports cognition and contains compounds which prevent enzymes from causing destruction of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
• Eleuthero Root Extract: Renowned as an adaptogen, eleuthero (from Siberian ginseng root) works to balance serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and epinephrine. Compounds in eleuthero support adrenal function by blunting fatigue and inhibiting elevated cortisol levels in response to stress.
• PABA: para-Aminobenzoic Acid is a component of many biological systems and participates in numerous metabolic processes.
• Copper-Zinc: Zinc deficiency can impair a healthy stress response, and zinc appears to moderate cortisol release with stress. Adequate zinc levels can help stabilize cortisol levels. Copper is included to balance the zinc. Copper has a key role in neurotransmitter balance and formation.

TRACE HORMONES

• Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA): The most prevalent adrenal hormone in the body. It is produced in a variety of tissues, most notably the adrenal glands.
• Pregnenolone: Pregnenolone is the “mother” hormone which produces all other related hormones like progesterone, cortisol, and DHEA.
