When you need a pick-me-up, rather than habitually reaching for coffee and sweets, items that ultimately increase stress, take something that’s good for you. Pantothenic acid (500-1,000 mg daily) and vitamin C (2,000-3,000 mg daily) are extremely important building blocks for the adrenal glands. Also important for normalizing blood sugar levels are zinc and other trace minerals, such as chromium. The proper mineral balance is essential for alleviating such hypoglycemic symptoms as irritability, fatigue, and dizziness. Licorice root supports adrenal function as well, although people taking it should check with their physician if they have blood pressure problems, as this herb is known to elevate blood pressure.
There are other important steps you can take to support adrenal function: Avoid environmental toxins when possible, minimize stress where you can, and cut down on your consumption of simple-sugar foods. This last factor in particular can make a big difference in your adrenal wellness.
