December 2020 Specials – Controlling Stress Hormones

Our December 2020 Specials

‘Tis the season to be completely stressed out! Stress is defined as any disturbance: extreme cold or heat, psychological stress, sleep deprivation, and work overload – sounds like the holidays! This year, in particular, has brought it’s fair share of stressors and then some. These products will help you manage your stress response, keep energy levels high, and irritability down. No one likes a Grinch!

The body’s stress response system is comprised of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Prolonged stress triggers the HPA axis and consists of three stages: stage 1: alarm. Stage 2: resistance. And Stage 3: exhaustion.

The initial, short-lived phase is the body’s normal fight or flight response to danger, characterized by elevated cortisol levels. The subsequent resistance phase allows the body to continue buffering extended stress exposure, long after the initial fight-or-flight response has dissipated. Hormones released by the adrenals, such as cortisol and DHEA, help support the resistance reaction.

Extended periods of stress not only burden the system, creating an imbalance in cortisol and DHEA production, but can result in mental and physical fatigue, nervous tension, irritability and poor memory. All of which are characteristic of Stage 3.

Managing holiday stress can be a challenge, especially when you are trying to do so in a healthy manner. Stress is damaging, not only to your mind, but to your body. These supplements are designed to control stress hormones in Springfield Missouri and right now they’re on sale.

These Natural Supplements Are 10% Off This Month

Adren-All

Adren-All offers a unique blend of botanicals, adrenal concentrate and micronutrients that support the adrenal glands, as well as the body’s ability to counteract the negative effects of stress and support healthy energy levels. Adren-All provides targeted amounts of vitamin A and C, pantothenic acid, and other B vitamins that are critical to adrenal gland function. This powerful formulation helps support the body’s resistance to fatigue and aids in maintaining balanced cortisol and DHEA levels.

Adapten-All

Adapten-All includes a blend of key micronutrients and adaptogenic botanicals specifically formulated to strengthen the body’s stress response and support healthy energy levels. Adapten-All provides targeted amounts of vitamin C, pantothenic acid and other B vitamins that are critical to adrenal gland function. Adapten-All also provides a unique blend of “stress adapting botanicals” which help increase the body’s resistance to fatigue and maintain balanced cortisol and DHEA levels.

AdreneVive

AdreneVive is formulated to help respond to HPA axis loading, build stress resilience and maintain healthy HPA axis function. AdreneVive contains a blend of adaptogenic botanicals and nutrients specifically formulated to counteract the effects of daily stress and support healthy energy levels. AdreneVive provides a unique blend of “stress adapting botanicals” that support the body’s resistance to fatigue and help to maintain balanced cortisol and DHEA levels.

TruAdapt Plus

TruAdapt Plus contains a blend of adaptogenic botanicals and adrenal concentrate specifically formulated to support the body’s resistance to fatigue, improves attention and immune function and aids in maintaining balanced cortisol and DHEA levels.

It contains holy basil, which is an adaptogenic herb that enhances the body’s stress and immune response. Positive therapeutic effects of holy basil have been shown with neurocognition, immunity and metabolism. Holy basil has been found to have a statistically significant promise to help support low mood and attention.

DHEA

DHEA is a steroid hormone secreted primarily by the adrenal glands and, to a lesser extent, by the testes and ovaries. DHEA and its sulfate, DHEAs, are the most abundant steroid hormones in the human body and can be found in blood, saliva, urine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

DHEA serves as a “buffer” reservoir to be used for the intracellular synthesis of various estrogens and androgens throughout the human body. DHEA production peaks during the second decade of life. Beginning in the early 30s, DHEA levels typically decline by 10% per decade.

In addition to the normal decline associated with aging, other possible causes of a decline in DHEA production include inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, as well as long-term stress. Secretion of DHEA is affected by pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion.

In addition to being a precursor for sex hormone formation, DHEA also serves as a cortisol antagonist, maintaining normal inflammatory balance and protection to brain tissues from free radical stress. It is especially important in the hippocampus, where excessive cortisol secretion can affect mood regulation and memory.

DHEA has been shown to reverse classic stress-induced physiological responses and support healthy aging. DHEA supplementation is particularly important for those that have been found to be deficient through testing, as well as those that need cortisol to DHEA ratio support.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone precursor, which helps maintain healthy hormone levels and helps support the stress response system. DHEA functions as the counterpart to the stress hormone cortisol. Maintaining healthy DHEA levels is crucial for balancing the catabolic effects of cortisol. Each capsule provides 5 mg of DHEA derived from the wild yam, allowing for incremental oral supplementation and flexibility with numerous hormone-balancing and stress-fighting protocols.
