Precision-crafted, quality-led formulation Adrenalmax is a comprehensive nutrient and botanical formula, developed with the adrenal glands in mind as part of the wider endocrine system. Manufactured in the UK to strict quality standards, it reflects careful ingredient selection, responsible sourcing and controlled production.

The formulation includes only purposeful ingredients, avoids unnecessary excipients, and is designed to meet high standards of purity and consistency-so you can choose your supplement with confidence.

The adrenals produce over 50 hormones including adrenalin and noradrenalin, as well as the steroid hormones - glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Adrenalin raises the heart rate, resulting in that “nervous” feeling. Glucocorticoids including cortisol, help stabilise your blood sugar and help your body convert food to energy, while mineralocorticoids, including aldosterone maintain a normal blood pressure and volume by balancing sodium and potassium. The adrenals are also involved with oestrogen and testosterone production.

The adrenals are poised for the “fight or flight” response and these 3 groups of hormones act together to increase your heart rate and the blood flow to your muscles and brain, as well as to slow down the digestion so that the body can prepare to run or fight!

In today's modern life we are all continually exposed to stress in all it's form: emotional stress (from work or relationships), toxic stress (from our environment), inadequate or excessive exercise or poor sleep and poor diet and nutrition. Chronic allergies and inflammation also add to our body’s stress loading.

Initially under stress the adrenals produce more hormones to compensate (Hyperadrenia) but over time they struggle to keep up and go into a state of exhaustion.

Symptoms can include extreme tiredness and weakness, quality of sleep is poor and the person still feels exhausted upon waking. Irritability, depression and poor concentration/memory are also common. The immune system may be impaired, resulting in recurrent infections. There may be cravings for salty foods, caffeine, fatty foods or sugars and that inevitable dip in energy and all consuming tiredness between 3-4 o'clock. The person may get dizzy on getting up quickly as their blood pressure cannot compensate fast enough for the change in position (due to low aldosterone) or they may need to get up at night to urinate. They may also experience hormonal imbalances including an increase in PMT symptoms and reduced libido as the cholesterol break down, especially after mid life into progesterone and testosterone may be reduced.

Weight gain due to high cortisol. Cortisol will convert proteins to glucose that then becomes additional fuel. This causes an increase in blood sugar levels and a rise in blood pressure. As blood sugar levels rise the unused glucose is stored as fat once the stress is over, resulting in weight gain, particularly abdominal fat

Some or all of the symptoms described above may be experienced with adrenal fatigue and as such a more appropriate description would be "adrenal fatigue syndrome" or "stress syndrome". Adrenal fatigue is not a condition recognised by medical institutions because structurally the adrenal glands remain normal and altered blood cortisol levels can be a result of factors outside the adrenal glands. Adrenal fatigue syndrome (or stress syndrome) should not be confused with Addisons disease, often caused by an autoimmune disease where histological changes occur in the adrenal tissue with resultant alteration of hormone levels.

Hans Selyes model of adaptation to stress which we are all familiar with, that is, alarm reaction (elevated cortisol), resistance (stress is prolonged) and the adrenals use other hormones such as pregnenalone to make cortisol which may be normal or high in this phase and DHEA may be low - resulting in decreased conversion to testosterone. Finally the exhaustion stage with low cortisol and low DHEA - commonly referred to as "adrenal fatigue".
However this model is out dated by neuroendocrinimmunology, which looks at the overall relationship between the nervous, endocrine, and immune system and how they talk to each other through hormones and neurotransmitters.
