Understanding the role of the adrenal glands

The adrenals are a pair of glands that sit on the kidneys and produce several hormones, including the stress hormones cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones are associated with the "fight or flight" response, stress management, regulating metabolism, sleep, blood sugar and inflammation. When your adrenals are "fatigued," they are not really "tired" but misfiring. The unrelenting stress forces the adrenal glands to continue to output stress hormones. Over time, the output of hormones from the adrenal glands causes them to become sluggish or compromised, resulting in insufficient amounts of the necessary hormone precursors your body needs.

How can you support your adrenal glands?

There is no specific test for "adrenal fatigue syndrome" and no prescribed medication. So, supporting your adrenal glands involves a more personalized and holistic approach that includes supplements, lifestyle changes and personal counselling to help identify and manage the stress.

It takes years of unmanaged stress on the body for the adrenal glands to get to the point of "adrenal fatigue or "adrenal burnout." It can take 6-12 months of continued supplementation, food and lifestyle adaptations for your adrenals to heal and those much-needed adrenal hormones to balance out to more normal behaviour.

Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue

• Difficulty getting up in the morning,
• Not feeling rested after sleeping
• Often waking throughout the night, or
• Daytime fatigue even after a good night's sleep.
• You may have increased energy as the evening progresses, leaving you unable to relax fully.
• You may be quick-tempered or impatient.
• You may have a poor stress response and find it challenging to regulate your mood
• You may get sick often or have illnesses that last longer.
• You may feel foggy and forgetful.
• You may feel light-headed when rising from a reclined position.
• You experience cravings for salty and sweet foods
• Digestive disorders (increased symptoms of IBS)
• Adrenal fatigue can also cause an inability to lose weight, especially around the waist, even if eating healthy and exercising.

Start With the Basics

When your body is under stress, it requires a lot of vitamins B and C. The various B Vitamins play a role in improving the metabolic pathways that boost energy, reduce fatigue and help to create adrenal hormones. Vitamin C is directly involved in the production of cortisol in our adrenals. It is also a building block for the recovery of fatigued adrenals. Both vitamins are water-soluble vitamins that do not stick around in the body. We use them; they run out; we need more. A deficiency in either of these vitamins is the start of denying your adrenals the necessary vitamins to produce essential stress hormones.

CanPrev’s BioActive B is a complete source of B vitamins your body needs to support energy, immune function, liver health, metabolism, and countless other metabolic processes essential for optimal health. These body-ready B vitamins are delivered in their preferred bioactive forms to help keep pace with demand. These are especially needed during times of physical and mental stress.

When you’re looking for a supplement that helps you relax without making you feel drowsy, then CanPrev’s L-Theanine with Magnesium just might be the answer. It can help to improve concentration and focus without making you feel sleepy. L-theanine is especially beneficial for anxiety sufferers because it increases dopamine and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in the brain. GABA is a chemical receptor that reduces the activity of neurons that it binds to. In other words, it helps slow down the feelings of fear and stress when neurons become over excited.

Adrenal Chill. CanPrev’s newest evidence-backed formulation is designed to increase your resistance to stress and anxiety. Adrenal Chill provides a nourishing combination of Ashwagandha and L-Theanine that will increase resistance to stress and anxiety and improve overall quality of life. This formula will also help support the physical aspects of sexual health in women. Several clinical studies demonstrate Ashwagandha’s anti-stress, antioxidant, mind-boosting, immune and enhancing effects. Combined with L-Theanine, it induces alpha brainwave activity, which correlates with a perceived state of relaxation without sedation. In addition, it can help improve concentration and focus. This will give your mind and body the tools it needs to combat stress and anxiety naturally.
