Adrenal
Today’s world is stressful. To withstand the negative effects of stress, the body relies on the adrenal glands, which produce stress response hormones and help the body regulate mood, energy, and the immune system. Excessive, prolonged stress can lead to adrenal insufficiency, meaning the adrenal glands are trying their best but can’t keep up. Adrenal insufficiency is associated with fatigue, immunosuppression, impaired blood sugar control, and other issues.
Ojas Adrenal is a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, and adaptogenic herbs intended to support the adrenal glands in properly regulating mental and physical performance, energy, mood balance, immune function, and stress response.
