Adrenal Fatigue Supplements - Which Supplements to Take For Adrenal Fatigue

By Jessica D Dale

Are you currently experiencing severe symptoms of exhaustion or allergies that have become absolutely unbearable? If so then it appears you're suffering from adrenal fatigue as I once did. In this article I'll provide some adrenal fatigue supplements that I found helped. As well I'll provide an explanation for why you might be experiencing adrenal fatigue.

Adrenal Fatigue Supplements

Pregnenolone: A very critical supplement for those who have suffered from adrenal fatigue for a while. Although labelled as a hormone Pregnenolone is considered more of a base compound from which other hormones are made. If you're experiencing burnout there is a high likelyhood that you've run low on this and as a result are not producing adequate amounts of hormones in your body to fight off pain, allergies and provide energy.

Rhodiola: An excellent herb to boost energy levels throughout the day. The key to its effectiveness however is that you use it in the morning on an empty stomach with warm water or tea. Studies have shown it is far less effective when used at other times during the day.

Vitamin C: Absolutely critical in any illness or disease, as an adrenal fatigue supplement it is no different. Providing a reduction in inflammation in the body as well as reduced histamine levels for allergy sufferers. This supplement covers so many angles that need to be addressed when suffering from adrenal fatigue it is absolutely mandatory. Build up to 8,000-12,000mg per day.

A common root cause of adrenal fatigue is Candida, make sure to look into this a little and see if you might be at risk. An estimated 90% of the population has Candida in their bodies at all times, so those suffering from adrenal fatigue are at a much higher risk of both developing an infection as well as suffering from one to begin with.

The Author is a professional nutritionist and one of the co-authors for the book How to Cure Candida available at http://www.howtocurecandida.com. The guide goes into detail explaining how to address not just your current candida problems but the root causes as well so that you never experience Candida or any of its symptoms again. In addition to which they offer 1 on 1 professional consultations to those who purchase the guide as well as a massive cookbook of Candida recipes.

Who Really Needs To Take Vitamin Supplements?

Copyright © Donovan Baldwin

I am sure you sometimes wonder if you need to take vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements for your health? If you do, which vitamins or minerals should you take?

Most of us are willing to concede there probably is a necessity of having a good balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in our daily diet for good health. However, many of us still wonder if it is necessary to use vitamin pills and other dietary supplements to do this.

Can't we get enough of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients we need from our daily diet?

I guess I could concede that a few of us might be in good enough health not to need additional vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements, but SHOULD YOU FALL INTO ONE OF THE GROUPS BELOW, you might want to consider adding at least a daily multivitamin supplement to your diet.

By the way, while I DO recommend natural health supplements, I understand that it is often easier to pop into WalMart and pick up a bottle of Centrum, and I would rather have you at least do that much for your health than insist on only natural health supplements.

Anyway, here's who might want to consider taking a daily multivitamin at least:

1. If you are a woman: Women are very often deficient in such minerals as magnesium, folic acid, zinc, calcium, and in quite a few cases, iron. If you are pregnant or using birth control, you may require additional vitamin or mineral supplements for good health.

2. If you diet for weight loss or follow a fairly limited diet or restricted nutritional regimen for any reason: Important vitamins and minerals are scattered widely across a very broad range of nutritional options (i.e. foods). If you are limiting your intake by volume or by type of food, you are quite likely also limiting your intake of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients vital to your health.

3. If you eat the normal American diet (now common worldwide): Actually, the normal American diet is not very normal at all, nor is it good for your health! It is, however, terribly lacking in the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, and other nutritional elements a healthy body needs to remain that way. Additionally, if your diet does contain all of these foods in optimal quantities, you are probably eating way too much food and getting too many calories - Catch 22, my friend!

4. If you smoke or drink alcohol regularly: Smoking and excessive drinking (roughly more than two drinks a day - which can be GOOD for you), depletes certain vitamins and other nutrients from the body or diminishes the body's ability to make use of them.

5. If you are one of the many already NOT in good health, physically or mentally: Your body may not be very good at processing the vitamins, minerals, etc. that your are providing in your diet. Also, the EXTRA vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you provide with supplements may have a positive affect on the condition.

It goes without saying that an appropriate supplementation program, whether natural health supplements or artificial, MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED or lessened the impact of the health problem in the first place!

9. If you, like most of us, eat a lot of junk food or it tends to be a major part of your diet: Once again, you are almost certainly NOT getting the dietary balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional elements necessary for good health. Sadly, many of the constituents of these types of food, particularly refined sugar, actually may leach vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from your body, or prevent the effective use, tranport, or absorption of these nutrients.

10. If, as with so many people, you cannot afford a steady diet of the foods that you DO realize are most valuable to your health: A simple multivitamn pill costs only a few cents a day! Without changing another single fact of your life, the simple act of taking one can contribute significantly to your health and well-being.

11. If you are over 65 years of age (some would say "over 40"): You have specific deficiencies and needs, as well as a possible array of health problems. Odds are good (or bad) that you are lacking in B-12, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, folic acid, zinc, Vitamin C, and other vitamins and minerals.

As our bodies age (I'm 64, so I can talk), they become less efficient at processing nutrients of all types, so even if your typical diet contains all the nutrients you need, your body is probably not getting the complete benefit from them. I mentioned some possible deficiencies above.

Let's look at only one - Vitamin D deficiency - as this is very common in folks over 65. This vitamin deficiency may contribute to some forms of cancer (including breast and colon cancer), muscular weakness, joint pain, and the well published one - osteoporosis.

Again, a daily multivitamin can go a long way towards promoting health in the years both before and after age 65.
OKAY, WHO'S LEFT!

12. If you are male, under 65, in excellent mental and physical health, exercise regularly, have a nutritionally rich and diverse diet, do not smoke or drink, and are NOT QUITE CERTAIN that YOUR DIET contains all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional elements necessary for good health: You STILL MIGHT want to tilt the odds in your favor with a good daily multivitamin supplement.

EVERYBODY ELSE DOESN'T NEED TO WORRY!

Your health is probably fine. You don't need to supplement your present diet with vitamins and minerals.
