Grass Fed Beef Adrenal - 160 Capsules

Adrenal Glandular tissue contains nutrients, adrenal specific peptides, cofactors, amino acids, to support your own adrenal glands during stress.
The two adrenal glands are located in the middle of your torso toward the back, just above the kidneys and form part of your endocrine system, which uses hormones to control body functions. The hormones produced in the adrenal cortex are necessary for proper glucose metabolism, immune function,  normal blood pressure and stress. These hormones help bring the body back in balance when something throws it off, such as during a time of stress.
The adrenal glands synthesise the important hormones cortisol, aldosterone, adrenaline, norepinephrine as well as the sex hormones. It is their function to deal with difficult, stressful situations. Proper functioning of the adrenal glands is important for various bodily processes.

The adrenal gland and the hormones it produces are extremely important. Adrenal failure is caused by damage to the adrenal gland‚ and it can result in decreased levels of essential hormones mentioned above. A deficiency in cortisol production can lead to muscle weakness‚ dizziness‚ and fainting.

Adrenal fatigue is caused by severe physical‚ environmental and/or emotional stress. The adrenal gland is directly affected by this stress and limits production of the hormones mentioned above. This can cause a host of problems‚ with the main symptom being excessive tiredness.  Additional symptoms of adrenal fatigue  include:

• Increased sense of stress
• Memory problems
• Lack of energy
• Mood swings
• Lightheadedness when standing
• Sensitivity to cold and feeling a chill
• Slow recovery time from illnesses
• Reactions to foods
• Low testosterone levels
• Low libido

Adrenal fatigue has been a popular term for many years to describe a set of symptoms which is becoming increasingly common in our modern lifestyle. These symptoms include:

• Persistent unexplained fatigue, Waking unrefreshed after good sleep
• Brain fog Impaired memory, Muscle aches and joint pains
• Tiring easily after minor exertion, Decreased capacity to handle stress,
• Mild depression, Irritability, Low libido, infections

HPA stands for hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis and these three glands work together to regulate the stress response, moods, metabolism, energy production and the immune system.

The two adrenal glands are located in the middle of your torso toward the back, just above the kidneys. They form part of your endocrine system, which uses hormones to control body functions. The hormones produced in the adrenal cortex are necessary for proper glucose metabolism, immune function, and normal blood pressure.* These hormones also help bring the body back in balance when something throws it off, such as during a time of stress.*

When the body is under chronic stress, it can take a toll on your adrenal glands. Adrenal Cortex supports healthy adrenal function by promoting a balanced stress response.*

Benefits of  Adrenal Cortex:

• Made from adrenal cortex tissue, which plays a valuable role in supporting healthy adrenal function.*
• Helps maintain immune function and promotes an energetic feeling.*
• Nourishing the adrenal glands helps regulate metabolism and manage the body’s response to stress.*
• Stabilizes the stress hormone, cortisol, which naturally peaks in the morning and declines during the day – but too much stimulus (stress) can cause cortisol’s level to get out of balance. Stabilizing cortisol supports a relaxed state of mind and promotes more restful sleep.*

Freeze dried grass-fed adrenal with liver is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, peptides, enzymes and bioactive substances to support your own adrenal glands and liver function. 

Grass-fed Beef Adrenal Gland capsules contains 250 mg of bovine adrenal gland (adrenal cortex as well as adrenal medulla) per capsule and 250 mg of bovine liver, which is rich in vitamins A, B12, choline and folate, among other nutrients. Vitamin A supports the immune system and Vitamin B12 promotes energy metabolism. In addition, vitamin B12, folate and choline are raw materials for methylation. 

Adrenal related fatigue is a common condition affecting more than half of the population [2]. The solution is to restore and rebuild our biological resilience with proven anthropological ways that are backed by modern science.

Dr. Weston A Price wrote about the indigenous cultures taking an animal and favouring the two small shaped adrenal glands hidden in the fat to successfully treat "exhaustion" [5].

General Practitioners and Integrative Health Experts have treated symptoms of adrenal insufficiency with adrenal cortex which was taken from the adrenal glands of animals. This treatment was found to be effective for reversing chronic fatigue, inability to concentrate, craving for sweets, hypoglycemia, allergies and arthritis. In the mid 1900s, Dr. John Tintera published his book Hypoadrenocorticism, documenting the successes he had with over 200 cases as a practitioner using adrenal glandular [6,7].

Adrenal glandular has been shown to dissipate the severe symptoms of adrenal insufficiency and concurrently restores the blood sugar and non-protein nitrogen levels to normal [8].

Low adrenal function often accompanies low thyroid function, as many people with thyroid antibodies are likely to also have antibodies that attack the adrenals [3].

Grass Fed Bovine Adrenal is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides 100% pure bovine adrenal (and liver) with adrenal-specific peptides, cofactors and enzymes to nourish and support one's own adrenal health.

Cholesterol is the precursor to all the valuable adrenal hormones that help to deal with stress, inflammation and trauma, that help our body to heal. Adrenal insufficiency (lack of adrenal cortical hormones) may stem from a healthy fat deficiency. as such it is important to eat more cholesterol-rich animal fat. Liver is added to adrenal for vitamin A since the adrenal cortex cannot make adrenal hormones out of cholesterol without adequate vitamin A [9].

As with the thyroid gland, altered function of the adrenal gland is closely associated with depression. Often this dysfunction is the result of chronic stress—a major factor to consider in depression. It is critical to develop biological resiliency in parallel with positive ways of dealing with the stress of modern life [5].
