Adrenal fatigue is a group of symptoms related to the stress response system, otherwise known as the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis. Prolonged stress and anxiety will overwork the adrenal glands, leading to adrenal gland 'burnout' and poor tissue response to cortisol. Depending on which stage of adrenal fatigue a person is experiencing will determine how this stress system responds: either chronic high or low levels of cortisol.

The adaptogenic herbs found in Adrenaplex work by increasing the adrenals endurance and overall ability to respond to stress. The adrenal glandular extract provides nutrients to support repair and optional functioning of the adrenal glands. The combination of organotherapy and adaptogens tonify the stress response, which makes Adrenaplex ideal to balance both high and low cortisol levels.
