recipe ingredients for adrenal health smoothie with mushroom extracts

Thriving Under Stress: What Your Adrenal Glands Need

  • Vitamin C {oranges} is important because it is used in the formation of adrenal hormones, such as cortisol, and plays an important anti-inflammatory role protecting the adrenals. 
  • Electrolyte minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium {swiss chard, celery, coconut} for energy production, blood pressure & water balance. 
  • Healthy fats, fibre rich carbs and protein to help slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, provide building blocks for hormones and help the body detoxify. 
  • Adaptogen & beta-glucan support from medicinal mushrooms like reishi {helps with blood sugar, overwhelm, calm the nervous system, improve deep sleep, & reduce inflammation}, lion’s mane {helps with mood, nervous system regeneration & focus}, Maitake & Shiitake {nourish the immune system & protect cells from oxidative damage}
