Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
How is Adrenal-Fuel™ different from other 'stress'
formulas that I see at the store or on TV?
A:
Adrenal-Fuel™
is a two-phase stress recovery formula,
specifically designed to nourish and balance adrenal
function, which can help your body recover from the effects of
stress.
Other products primarily deal with just lowering cortisol levels, rather than providing nutrients that support adrenal function and the balance of cortisol, DHEA and other important hormones. The benefits gained from balanced ratios of these hormones are many; including improved immune function, libido, fat loss and even anti-aging!
Q:
How do I take Adrenal-Fuel?
A:
Typically, one capsule two times a day with
meals, preferably with breakfast and lunch. If you checked more than 5
symptoms on the 'Stress Test', it is possible that your adrenal glands may be more depleted and
exhausted. If that's the case, you may need to take an additional one or two
capsule per day, not to exceed four capsules per day.
Q:
Why should I take Adrenal-Fuel™?
A:
Approximately 75% of all doctor visits are
stress related. Stress triggers an over production of cortisol and other
stress hormones produced by the adrenal glands. Constant stress can deplete
and exhaust the functional status of your adrenal glands which can lead to
weight gain, fatigue, sweet cravings, low blood sugar, inability to
concentrate, irritability, mood swings, depression, allergies, mid-afternoon
slumps, PMS, menopausal difficulties, weakened immune system and reduced sex
drive.
Q:
How soon will I notice a difference?
A:
Results will vary with each individual. Most
people should begin to notice a difference within the first 30 days. Some
people may experience an adjustment period as Adrenal function improves
during the first week or two of use.
Q:
What type of changes can I expect?
A:
Each person will respond differently, but most
people will notice an increase in energy, mood, better sleep, reduced
cravings, a stronger overall feeling along with a decrease in other
stress-related symptoms.
Q:
I am on a weight loss program. Can Adrenal-Fuel™
Help?
A:
Adrenal-Fuel™ helps nourish your adrenal
glands & thyroid, which are responsible for triggering your hormones to burn
calories from stored body fat. Adrenal-Fuel™ is a fantastic complement to
any fat loss program.
Q:
Is it a stimulant?
A:
No! Common stimulants such as ma huang,
ephedrine, guarana, and caffeine deplete the adrenal glands. This is
unfortunate because so many people have consumed a countless amount of these
stimulants, which further depletes your adrenal glands. Adrenal-Fuel™ is an
all-natural dietary supplement designed to support your adrenal glands with
specific nutrients in times of stress. The boost of energy comes as a result
of adequately nourishing your adrenal glands, not from stimulants.
Q:
Can it help with my sweet cravings and low blood
sugar problems?
A:
It certainly can! The adrenal glands help
regulate blood sugar. Food cravings are a result of a drop in blood sugar.
As your blood sugar begins to drop, your adrenal glands should kick in and
release hormones to breakdown stored body fat for energy. Unfortunately,
depleted and exhausted adrenal glands, due to stress, will inhibit your
body's ability to breakdown stored body fat. This is one of the main reasons
why many people are unsuccessful with their weight loss program.
Q:
Can it help with PMS and/or menopause?
A:
Yes, many of the hormones that control mood,
emotions, mental clarity, and other bodily functions are produced by the
adrenal glands. The adrenal glands help produce estrogen, progesterone,
testosterone, pregnolone, DHEA and cortisol. If the adrenal glands are
overworked and depleted due to constant stress, your body may not have an
adequate supply of nutrients to produce enough of the hormones to properly
regulate your mood and emotions.
Q:
Can my lack of libido be an adrenal problem?
A:
Absolutely! Testosterone is responsible for our
sex drive in both men and women. Unfortunately, the over-production of
cortisol, (due to stress) results in a decreased production of DHEA and
testosterone. How can your adrenal gland produce an adequate amount of
testosterone when it is constantly being called to produce cortisol?
Adrenal-Fuel™ nourishes your body with specific nutrients designed to
support proper hormone production.
Q:
I always seem to catch every bug or cold that goes
around the office, will this help?
A:
The adrenal glands trigger your immune system,
which protects us from foreign invaders such as viral, bacterial, parasitic,
and fungal infections. Adrenal-Fuel™ is designed to support and strengthen
your adrenal glands. As the stress in your life increases - your immune
system decreases, therefore it is vitally important to specifically nourish
your adrenal glands in order to support your immune system.
Q:
Can this help with my allergies and sinus
problems?
A:
Allergies are typically the result of an
overwhelmed immune system. Adrenal-Fuel™ strengthens your immune system,
which can help lessen the effects of common allergens and sinus problems.
Q:
I have been told that I have an under-active
thyroid, will this help?
A:
Adrenal-Fuel™ is designed with synergistic
herbs and vitamins to support both the thyroid and adrenal glands.
Oftentimes an under-active thyroid could be the result of exhausted and
depleted adrenal glands.
Q:
Can some of my digestive problems be related to
adrenal depletion?
A:
The over-production of cortisol, due to the
stress can trigger ulcerations in the stomach and digestive system. It is
also important to look at some of the other important issues when it comes
to proper digestion such as: food combining, digestive enzymes, and
elimination of common food allergens (dairy, wheat, corn, and soy).
Q:
Could osteoporosis be the result of an adrenal
problem?
A:
Osteoporosis is a result of bone tissue
breakdown. Each day your body does both "anabolic" and catabolic"
activities. Anabolic means to build up, while catabolic means to breakdown.
Unfortunately, an increased production of cortisol can trigger a catabolic
response, which could be a major underlying reason for osteoporosis rather
than just a lack of calcium.
Q:
Can smoking affect my adrenal glands?
A:
Smoking depletes Vitamin C status, which is a
major antioxidant that supports adrenal function. It is important to note
that there are multiple sources of stress, chemical stress being one of the
most common.
Q:
Is it okay to take Adrenal-Fuel™ with other
supplements I am taking?
A:
Yes. Adrenal-Fuel™ might even improve
the results from your other dietary supplements.
Q:
Can other symptoms or health related
problems be helped with Adrenal-Fuel™?
A:
Absolutely! We are learning that as stress
increases in our life our immune system decreases. The status of our adrenal
glands corresponds to the strength of our immune system. Therefore, many of
today's health problems and symptoms that plague our society may be related
to stress and our depleted adrenal glands.
Q:
How long should I take Adrenal-Fuel™
A:
The product is simply a combination of special
nutrients designed to nourish. You can take it for as long as you like.
Q:
How many capsules can I take each day?
A:
Begin with the recommended two capsules per day,
one with breakfast & one with lunch. you may take up to two capsules, twice
each day, or a total of four capsules per day.
