(The word adrenal is Latin for near the kidneys.)These important glands secrete aldosterone, which is integral to the proper functioning of the kidneys, but they also play an important role in many of the bodys systems.When we are stressed, the hypothalamus sends a signal to the pituitary to message the adrenal glands, which instantly release stress hormones. The most significant of these are adrenaline and cortisol.BenefitsHelps the body to better handle stressReduces tension and disharmonyReduces cortisol productionReduces inflammationImproves cardiovascular healthIncreases DHEA and sports enduranceStimulates the immune systemA rich source of antioxidantsIngredients and their actionsChagaChaga, a nutrient-rich powerhouse of over 200 potent phytonutrients, is very helpful for balancing the stress response.
