Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms or adrenal insufficiency symptoms are generally excessive tiredness, reduced energy and inability to cope with stress.
Adrenal fatigue and Adrenal insufficiency are sometimes used interchangeably and refer to adrenal dysfunction, where there is the reduced ability of the adrenal glands to produce a normal quantity of hormones. This can make it hard to cope with stress and is currently one of the most common imbalances in our society.
It can be treated with a properly designed nutritional balancing program, some sound changes in lifestyle practices and some carefully selected adrenal supporting herbs.

You feel tired all the time?

Be Aware!
Many of these symptoms have other causes, so just because you have one or more symptom doesn’t necessarily mean that you have adrenal fatigue. On the other hand, adrenal fatigue is so prevalent that if you have even one of these symptoms, it is likely that you may be a bit run down.
Stress is a major contributor to adrenal fatigue. We live in a busy world that offers little relief from stresses of life.
Toxicity contributes to adrenal fatigue as well.
By far, adrenal fatigue is caused by a diet high in sugar and processed foods. And, the same dietary factors that contribute to adrenal fatigue are at the root of most of our major health issues today. Most major diseases start with the same factors as adrenal fatigue, and adrenal fatigue can lead to many serious conditions.
Contributors to Adrenal Fatigue include:
- Poor food choices
- Staying up late even when fatigued
- Driving oneself constantly
- Perfectionism
- Being under pressure constantly with few outlets for emotional release
- Unrelieved pressure or frequent crises
- Severe emotional trauma
- All work little play
