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. Calcium ascorbate is a non-acidic form of vitamin C that also provides a highly absorbable form of calcium.

Chromium

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that has been well-studied and shown to help regulate blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Because chromium is needed to activate cell glucose transporters, a deficiency in chromium can affect blood sugar levels. Chromium also helps maintain healthy blood fat levels already in the normal range. Plus, chromium may aid weight management efforts by helping to reduce appetite and curb cravings.

Relora®

Relora® (a proprietary blend of magnolia bark extract and phellodendron bark extract) helps the body manage stress and maintain cortisol levels already within the normal range. Relora® may help reduce stress and stress-related appetite.

Holy Basil

Holy basil, also known as tulsi, is an herbal adaptogen used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine. Adaptogens help the body buffer the effects of stress and adapt to stressful situations. Holy basil is said to act as a tonic for the body, mind and spirit. Holy basil helps maintain balanced hormone levels which aids the body in managing symptoms of stress and feelings of anxiousness. Holy basil contains active compounds that help maintain healthy cortisol levels. It is also a rich source of antioxidants that target metabolic stress.

Green Tea

Drinking polyphenol-rich green tea has been linked to good health for centuries. Beyond already documented benefits for cardiovascular health, brain health and healthy aging, the extract’s active components—including polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)—now show promise for weight management. Researchers believe green tea may have a thermogenic (calorie- and fat-burning) effect, and also may inhibit fat absorption.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is a relaxing, calming amino acid that can boost levels of important brain neurotransmitters that support mood, sleep, alertness and cognitive (brain) function. Research shows that l-theanine supports a positive mental state and encourages feelings of relaxation and calm, without drowsiness. Clinical studies have associated taking l-Theanine with improvements in mental alertness, cognitive function and stress response. L-theanine may also help lessen increases in blood pressure resulting from high-stress responses.

DHEA

DHEA, a naturally occurring steroid nutrient produced in the adrenal glands, is converted to important and essential hormones in the body, ensuring good health. Natural production of DHEA declines after about age 25, leading many experts to believe that DHEA plays a role in slowing the aging process. DHEA also interacts with the adrenal glands and therefore, may subsequently affect cortisol production.

Vanadium

Vanadium is a trace mineral that may help regulate blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Vanadium occurs naturally in various food sources such as mushrooms, shellfish, black pepper, parsley, dill weed, grain and grain products.

Banaba

Banaba leaf helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels and provides antioxidant benefits. Banaba leaves contain corosolic acid, a substance that may help the body's cells utilize insulin more efficiently. Banaba leaf may also assist the body in maintaining normal-range cholesterol levels.
