How It Works

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is needed in large amounts by the adrenal glands to maintain normal adrenal function, manage stress hormones, and maximize your body's ability to regulate stress and energy levels. When the adrenal glands are under stress, vitamin C levels may be depleted.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 supports one of the most basic functions of life — converting food into usable energy. Vitamin B1 is also essential for glucose metabolism and for healthy functioning of the muscles, nerves and heart. Plus, vitamin B1 plays an important role in the flow of electrolytes into and out of muscle and nerve cells.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 is important for red blood cell production, cellular function and energy production. Vitamin B2 is needed for converting carbohydrates into usable energy. Vitamin B2 also functions as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 helps activate over 100 different enzymes that help your body feel good. Vitamin B6 is also important for the production of energy and for proper nervous system function.

Pantothenic Acid

Pantothenic acid helps turn the food you eat into the energy you need by aiding the body in converting fat and sugar into energy. Pantothenic acid is necessary for proper adrenal function and tissue repair, including skin tissue. Pantothenic acid also supports the health of the nervous and glandular systems and helps enhance athletic performance. The body needs extra amounts of pantothenic acid when under physical stress.

Magnesium

Magnesium is critical to nervous system balance and cardiovascular health. Magnesium is also important for healthy cognitive function, strong bones, muscle relaxation, and metabolism support. Studies have shown that a diet deficient in magnesium can lead to increased feelings of anxiousness and low mood. Plus, magnesium is essential for energy production, a healthy heart rhythm, and smooth muscle contractions like that found in the heart. Magnesium supports the adrenal glands by helping to reduce cortisol levels, balance hormone production, and enhance sleep.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace mineral for normal brain and nervous system function. Zinc levels appear to decline in response to physical and mental stress. Zinc also influences serotonin receptors in the brain, which may help to uplift mood. Supplementation with zinc has been shown to be significantly effective in reducing levels of both anger and mood disorders. Plus, zinc provides essential support for the immune system and a healthy inflammatory response.

Potassium

Potassium is a mineral that your body needs to work properly. Potassium helps generate energy and is needed for maintaining healthy blood pressure and normal heartbeat. Potassium is also essential to the urinary system as it supports kidney function. Plus, potassium is needed for proper nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and pH balance (acidity and alkalinity).

Schisandra

Schisandra has been used for centuries for its important adaptogenic benefits. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), schisandra berries are called the five-flavored fruit because they possesses a remarkable taste that is sour, sweet, bitter, salty and pungent. This renowned Chinese tonic herb is used to balance the 12 meridians (energy channels) and energize the five constitutional types. Schisandra also enables the body to respond more quickly to stress, thus increasing the body’s capacity to work. Its bitter compounds also support circulation.

Licorice

Licorice has been a key part of many Chinese herbal formulas for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has relied on licorice root to provide respiratory, digestive and reproductive system support. Most Chinese herb combinations use licorice to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality. It has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance (particularly helpful to women who menstruate) and for promoting well-being. Licorice root is also regarded as an adrenal/pituitary tonic.
