Adeeva Adrenal Support Formula

The "Stress of Life" by Dr. Hans Selye (a Canadian Endocrinologist) published in 1956, provided scientists and doctors with ground-breaking findings related to the effects of chronic stress on our health.* Since then, many scientists have confirmed that chronic stress can disrupt normal hormonal secretion patterns and creates hyperactivity in the nervous system, all of which can culminate into a myriad of common health problems.*

Chronic Stress, Cortisol and Disease

When we are subjected to chronic stress, the pituitary gland may prompt the adrenals to pump out excess amounts of cortisol. High levels of cortisol produce a myriad of negative health effects, which can include:

  • Immune Suppression - often including increased susceptibility to infections and other serious diseases, including cancer*
  • Weight Gain - cortisol hastens the conversion of carbohydrates into fat*
  • Blood Sugar Elevation and Insulin Resistance - cortisol impairs the uptake of glucose producing a rise in blood sugar, which can trigger or worsen diabetes*
  • Fluid Retention - cortisol increases sodium and water retention from the kidneys*
  • Wrinkles and Aging - cortisol breaks down collagen, promoting formation of wrinkles*
  • Memory Impairment - cortisol damages the hippocampus of the brain, which impairs learning. Shrinking of the hippocampus is a hallmark feature of Alzheimer's disease*
  • Chronic Inflammation - cortisol produces chronic inflammation, exacerbating arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis and other inflammatory conditions*
  • High Blood Pressure - sodium retention from the kidney can increase blood pressure in sensitive individuals*
  • Breaks Down Muscle - cortisol causes muscle breakdown, which slows metabolism, and produces weakness*
  • Osteoporosis - cortisol impairs calcium absorption and promotes loss of calcium from bone, which contributes to osteoporosis development*

Nutritional Adaptogens to the Rescue

Adaptogens, discovered in certain herbs, may help prevent the over-secretion of cortisol and help reduce the impact of stress on the body in numerous ways. Adaptogens were discovered in 1947 by the Russian scientist Dr. Nicolai Lazarev, who coined the name "adaptogen." Unfortunately, some adaptogen-containing herbs contain other undesirable constituents which interfere with many drugs or may produce adverse side effects. As such, many experts caution against the use of ginseng (Siberian, Korean, Panax, etc.) and licorice as possible stress-fighting supplements.

The adaptogen is said to contain herbs that provide the best stress-reducing benefits and have the best safety record include:

  • Rhodiola
  • Schisandra
  • Ashwaghanda

Working synergistically, these herbs have been shown to help tone down the over-secretion of cortisol, maintain more optimal immune function, and support the brain's ability to make optimal amounts of memory and feel-good chemicals (serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, etc) under periods of chronic stress.
