Adrenal Cocktail Recipe

Adrenal Cocktail Benefits

What is an adrenal cocktail you ask? It’s an easy way to replenish vitamins and minerals that are easily lost in our day-to-day lives, specifically pinpointing the needs of our adrenal glands. Daily stress can deplete our bodies of some of the vitamins and minerals it needs for the adrenal glands to function. For example, when you are under times of stress your adrenal glands need more vitamin C to function properly and produce the hormones that help to regulate many functions in the body: blood pressure, metabolism, your immune system, and responses to stress. The adrenal cocktail is made up of vitamin C, potassium, and sodium along with other additional minerals. This balance of vitamins and minerals is used by the adrenal glands to produce hormones and combat fatigue and as a bonus, this combo is also great for hydration.

Adrenal Cocktail Recipe Ingredients

Organic orange juice offers lots of vitamin C and antioxidants. The adrenal glands are concentrated with vitamin C and it and its antioxidant properties are used by the adrenal glands to produce hormones. Aloe vera juice is great for digestion but in the adrenal cocktail it is used for its high levels of potassium, you can also swap it for coconut water. Potassium is another mineral that is used up quickly by the adrenal glands during times of stress. Salt or sodium is actually used in many processes in the body and your cells can not function properly without it. It is also needed by your adrenal glands and is one of the key nutrients that many people with adrenal fatigue are lacking. Make sure to use a high-quality brand like Redmond Real Salt, to make sure it’s clean and contains lots of minerals. I like to add coconut cream to my adrenal cocktail recipe for blood sugar stability. It tastes amazing, just like a creamsicle, but it is also high in fat which helps to balance the sugar in the orange and aloe vera juice, helping your body to process the sugar slower, you can also swap for heavy cream.

Adrenal Fatigue

You may have heard of adrenal fatigue, it’s the feeling of fatigue when your adrenals are overworked and under nourished. It can be characterized by a number of different symptoms and an inability to handle stress. Adding in an adrenal cocktail every day can help to replenish your minerals, helping your adrenal glands to recover and function properly. In my own life, I have seen the addition of an adrenal cocktail help with afternoon slumps and help me not get so worked up over small instances.
