Adrenal fatigue affects many people in the modern world. Stress, a major component of nearly everyone’s lifestyle, can be very damaging to the adrenal glands, which are placed on top of the kidneys in the body, and produce a variety of vital hormones, including cortisol and sex hormones. These glands also are responsible for the regulation of the heart rate, the production of energy, and immune system function. They also have a role in keeping blood sugar balanced, maintaining digestive and intestinal health, and preserving the proper functioning of the liver. These glands communicate with the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland in the brain to secrete the necessary hormones for normal body function.
There are times when the body becomes so overwhelmed with stress, either physical or emotional, that the adrenal glands simply cannot keep up with what is needed for proper functioning. When this happens, these glands become fatigued and cannot respond to stress as well. When this occurs, the person experiencing the adrenal fatigue may have a number of symptoms. Feeling “run-down” is a mild version of adrenal fatigue. When a person feels this way, he or she should take some time to rest, recharge, and take helpful supplements like Bezwecken Isocort.
