If the holidays left you a little depleted, your body can be vulnerable for the rest of winter and spring. The adrenal glands, which sit just above the kidneys and are a powerhouse of hormones, are sensitive to temperature changes, blood sugar imbalances and stress - all aspects of the winter holidays. A  comprehensive adrenal support product called SR-Adrenal™ can give you the support to put your body back on track.
What is SR-Adrenal™?
SR-Adrenal™ provides a unique blend of nutrients and botanicals that increase vigor while at the same time increase resistance to stress and support the body systems that are most susceptible to stress. The most common use of this formula is for fatigue, lack of vitality, a tendency toward abdominal fat accumulation, emotional exhaustion, and lack of overall well-being. SR-Adrenal™ provides the key co-factors for synthesis and utilization of adrenal hormones.
SR-Adrenal™ ingredients have been shown to:
- Help increase stamina and enhance physical performance
- Promote a healthy adaptation to stress with a combination of traditional adaptogens from around the world
- Strengthen cardiovascular, adrenal, and immune system response to stress

Who needs SR-Adrenal™ and why is it different?
SR-Adrenal™ is for the individual who has been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency or who wants to  increase the ability to withstand stress, combat fatigue, and promote overall adrenal well-being.
Is SR-Adrenal™ Safe?
This product is made with safe well-established all-natural vitamins, nutrients, and botanicals, known to support healthy adrenal gland function. Since some of the ingredients in SR-Adrenal are known to increase physical energy, it is not recommended that this product be taken at night as it may disrupt sleep.

Adrenal extract (whole substance/cortex)
Adrenal extracts are derived from the adrenal glands of bovine sources. SR-Adrenal contains adrenal extracts that are made using the whole gland and also the cortex or outer portion of the gland.
Whole adrenal extracts (usually in combination with essential nutrients required for proper adrenal function) are most often used in cases of low adrenal  function presenting as fatigue, inability to cope with stress, and reduced resistance to infection.
What is an Adaptogen?
In 1947, Dr. Nikolai Lazaren defined an adaptogen, "as an agent that allows the body to counter adverse physical, chemical, or biological stressors by raising nonspecific resistance toward such stress, thus allowing the organism to ‘adapt' to the stressful circumstance." This definition still holds true for today, but now also includes an ability to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system. Some examples of adaptogens are Eleutherococcus, Ginseng, Rhodiola.
Eleutherococcus senticosus
Eleuthero use dates back 2,000 years, according to Chinese medicine records. Referred to as ci wu jia in Chinese medicine, it was used to prevent respiratory tract infections, colds and flu. It was also believed to provide energy and vitality. Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated products. Research has shown that eleuthero improves the use of oxygen by the exercising muscle. This means that a person is able to maintain aerobic exercise longer and recover from workouts more quickly. It is also useful when the adrenal glands are depleted as it may help alleviate symptoms of fatigue and stress.
Ginseng
Panax (Asian) ginseng roots are taken orally as adaptogens, aphrodisiacs, nourishing stimulants, and in the treatment of type II diabetes, including sexual dysfunction in men.
Rhodiola rosea
The Vikings used rhodiola to enhance physical strength and endurance, and it was commonly used by many Northern peoples to treat fatigue, poor physical  endurance, nervous system disorders, and infections, and to enhance fertility.
Rhodiola rosea is effective for improving mood and alleviating depression. Russian research shows that it improves both physical and mental performance, reduces fatigue, and prevents high-altitude sickness. Rhodiola rosea's effects are attributed to its ability to optimize serotonin and dopamine levels, due to monoamine oxidase inhibition and to its influence on opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha stimulates the activation of immune system cells, such as lymphocytes. It has also been shown to inhibit inflammation and improve memory. These actions may support the traditional reputation of ashwagandha as a tonic or adaptogen-counteracting the effects of stress and generally promoting wellness.
