Adrenal fatigue
Adrenal Fatigue
Keep in mind that when someone says "Adrenal Fatigue," it's not an actual medical term. It's more the result of the fact that we are struggling with stress as a society. Dealing with constant stress is accepted as a normal part of life. Things have gotten so stressful that we are beginning to experience physical and emotional problems that we wouldn't feel under less stressful conditions. We all know that life is much easier to deal with when stress is somewhat under control.
What are the Adrenal Glands
The adrenal glands are two triangular-shaped organs that measure about 1.5 inches in height and 3 inches in length. They are located on top of each kidney, and the name "Adrenal" relates to the location of these glands ("ad" meaning near and "renal" referring to the kidney). Each adrenal gland is comprised of two distinct structures. The outer part of the adrenal glands is called the adrenal cortex. The inner region is known as the adrenal medulla.
The adrenal cortex - the outer part of the gland produces hormones that are vital to life, such as cortisol (which helps regulate metabolism and helps your body respond to stress) and aldosterone (which helps regulate balance minerals and control blood pressure).
The adrenal medulla is the inner part of the gland that produces nonessential hormones, such as adrenaline (which helps your body react to stress).
What is the HPA Axis?
The hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal (HPA) axis is our body’s internal stress response system. The HPA axis integrates the endocrine system with the central nervous system and regulates the flow of hormones through a negative feedback system. The Pituitary, Hypothalamus, and Adrenal Glands are all part of the Endocrine System. Maintaining the health of these vital endocrine glands is critical, knowing that hormonal balance is crucial to our overall health and can dictate how we feel.
What are the symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue?
Fatigue is one of the most common Adrenal Fatigue symptoms, but it's not the only thing noted. Adrenal Fatigue may lead to hormone inadequacies, and those hormones impact our health and the way we feel in several ways.
Common symptoms:
Difficulty getting up in the AM
Fatigue
Can’t handle stress
Crave salty foods
More energy in the PM
Immune system weak
Weight gain and belly fat
Extreme fatigue after exercise
Dark circles under the eyes
Joint pain/back pain
Loss of muscle tone
Are you giving your body the vital nutrients it needs? We often assume that switching diets and eating more fruits and vegetables gives us all the necessary nutrients. While eating more fruits and vegetables helps us with a more balanced diet, the foods we consume still lack vital nutrients.
Farming methods can affect the quality of our crops, leaving our food lacking nutrients and possibly creating toxic build-up.
The fulvic Acid in Ionex Gold is an effective compound that works at the cellular level and supports the lack of nutrient absorption, detoxification from unhealthy elements, and much more! Below, you will find everything you need to know about Ionex Gold and its incredible ingredients.
Although Fulvic Acid and Humic Acid may have similar names, they’re very different elements.
Fulvic Acid is deemed the most valuable treasure in holistic health. It is a natural compound from rich soil formed over time by the decomposition of leaves and other plant materials.
Humic Acid is also a by-product of humification (decomposed leaves and other plant materials). Sometimes extracted from sub-bituminous coal, Humic Acid is high in carbon. It also contains oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and phosphorus.
Ionex Gold has a natural ratio of Fulvic Acid to Humic Acid, which is nine parts to 1 part because Humic Acid is naturally present in organically occurring Fulvic Acid. Fulvic Acid has a minimal molecular structure that is absorbed much more efficiently than humic Acid, which has a larger molecular structure. However, although Humic Acid is difficult to assimilate, its high carbon content helps break down salts that build up on cell membranes so that Fulvic Acid, which is easy to assimilate, can transport nutrients into and flush toxins out of cells.
It can support the body:
Supports free radical defense, heavy metal detoxification, DNA repair, and fights against inflammation, infection, and diseases*
Repair of damaged hair, skin, and nails*
Blood alkalinity*
Supports Digestive health, enzyme activity, cell hydration, nutrient absorption, and a healthy metabolism*
Brain function and cognitive health*
Boosts energy levels, supports balanced immunity, and overall health and longevity*
Fulvic/Humic Acid attenuates behavioral symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome by modulating the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and mitochondrial bioenergetics in rats.
Fulvic/Humic Acid reversed the CFS-induced decrease in plasma corticosterone level and loss of adrenal gland weight, indicating modulation of the HPA axis.
Fulvic/Humic Acid prevented CFS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction by stabilizing the complex enzyme activities and the loss of MMP. Fulvic/Humic Acid reversed CFS-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress in terms of NO concentration and LPO, SOD, and catalase activities.
