Adrenal Cortex

If any of these sound like you, Adrenal Cortex may be the right support:†

1. “You get dizzy or lightheaded when you stand up too fast.”

   Healthy adrenal function supports normal blood pressure regulation, including when changing positions. [1,2]†

2. “You keep waking up around 3 a.m. and can’t fall back asleep.”

   Cortisol naturally rises through the night to support steady blood sugar for your brain. Healthy adrenal function helps maintain this rhythm so you can sleep through the night. [3,4]†

3. “You’ve been grinding through high stress for months or years.”

   Prolonged physical and mental demands place increased demands on the adrenal glands. Supporting healthy adrenal function helps maintain energy and resilience during demanding periods. [5,6]†

4. “You’re a competitive athlete or train intensely.”

   Heavy training combined with competition pressure, travel, and performance demands requires robust adrenal support for healthy recovery and energy. [7,8]†

5. “You travel frequently across time zones and experience jet lag.”

   Crossing time zones shifts the timing of your body’s cortisol rhythm. Supporting healthy cortisol production at your new wake time helps your body adjust. [9,10,11]†

6. “You used to be driven and energized but now feel tired and burnt out.”

   People who push hard over long periods place sustained demands on their adrenal glands. Supporting healthy adrenal function may help maintain the energy and motivation you’re used to. [5,6]†

7. “Small stresses that never bothered you now feel overwhelming.”

   Healthy cortisol levels play a role in how the body manages everyday stress. Supporting adrenal function helps maintain a normal, balanced stress response. [12,5]†

8. “You crave salt and salty foods more than usual.”

   The adrenal cortex produces hormones involved in healthy electrolyte and fluid balance. Increased salt cravings can reflect the body’s increased need for adrenal support. [13,14]†

9. “You feel “wired but tired”—exhausted yet unable to fully relax.”

   When the body’s stress response is working harder than usual, it can create the paradox of feeling simultaneously drained and overstimulated. Supporting balanced adrenal function promotes a healthy stress response. [12]†

10. “You hit an afternoon wall that no amount of coffee can fix.”

    Cortisol naturally fluctuates throughout the day. Supporting healthy adrenal function helps maintain steady energy levels, including through the natural afternoon dip. [3,4]†

11. “You feel nauseous in the morning or just don’t have an appetite.”

    Healthy cortisol levels support normal blood sugar and digestive function upon waking. Supporting your adrenal glands helps maintain comfortable mornings. [13,14]†

12. “You seem to catch every cold going around and recovery takes forever.”

    Cortisol plays a role in supporting balanced immune function. Healthy adrenal function supports your body’s natural immune responses. [15]†

13. “Your muscles and joints ache even when you haven’t done much physically.”

    Cortisol supports the body’s normal inflammatory response. Healthy adrenal function helps manage everyday physical wear and tear. [13,14]†

14. “You feel more restless, down, or emotionally fragile than what’s normal for you.”

    Cortisol interacts with neurotransmitters that influence mood and emotional resilience. Supporting healthy adrenal function supports a balanced mood. [16]†

15. “Your concentration is shot and you’re walking around in a mental fog.”

    The brain relies on steady glucose and healthy cortisol levels for focus and clarity. Supporting adrenal function supports healthy cognitive performance. [17,4]†

16. “You feel worse—not better—after working out.”

    Exercise places additional demands on the adrenal glands. Supporting healthy adrenal function helps your body respond to and recover from physical activity. [7,8]†

17. “You feel faint in hot weather or your blood pressure tends to run low.”

    The adrenal cortex produces hormones that support healthy blood pressure and fluid balance. Supporting adrenal function helps your body maintain these during challenging conditions. [1,2,13]†

18. “You need caffeine just to feel like a functioning human in the morning.”

    Cortisol naturally peaks in the morning to support waking energy. When you’re relying on caffeine to do that job, it may be a sign your adrenals could use support. [3,4]†

19. “You’ve been through surgery, illness, loss, or a major life upheaval and your energy never came back.”

    Major life events place significant demands on the adrenal glands. Supporting healthy adrenal function during and after these periods helps maintain energy and recovery. [5,6]†
