If you are feeling STRESSED OUT and FATIGUED, then you may need a supplement that supports the adrenal glands.
The ADRENAL GLANDS help us handle stress and they make several important hormones that run many significant functions in our bodies.
ADRENALINE is our “fight or flight” hormone, that helps speed up metabolism and helps the body cope with danger. Over time, we lose our ability to distinguish between life threatening stress, such as almost having a car wreck, and situational stress, such as being stopped at a red light too long.
