Adrenal Fatigue Supplements
The following supplements can be used to compensate for any vitamin or mineral deficiencies that you may have. It is not uncommon for individuals that suffer from high stress and adrenal fatigue to be deficient in a number of vitamins and minerals. You may discuss with your doctor or health care professional if extra supplementation is beneficial for you.
Fulvic Minerals
The power of Fulvic Mineral Complex lies in the reactions it enables within the body. Fulvic Mineral Complex does its work inside the cells. Fulvic is nature’s way of energizing and balancing all systems of the body. It interacts with the nutrients in food, and all substances within the body, both good and bad; enhancing the good and eliminating the bad.
Fulvic spreads through the system correcting imbalances, restoring proper function of vital processes, and recharging electrical potential of cells. As these corrections are happening immune system function is elevated, and the body metabolizes nutrients more effectively to facilitate healing and rejuvenation of cells. Fulvic makes every system of the body work better through its interactions and reactions with other substances.

B-Complex
B vitamins are important for your nervous system, they are involved in many bodily processes and are critical for energy production and utilization. There are 3 key B vitamins: B3, B5 and B6. You may buy these individually or as part of a Vitamin B complex supplement that combines the various B vitamins.
Garden of Life Vitamin Code Vitamin B Complex, 120 Capsules
Vitamin C
There are a lot of vitamins and minerals needed for the adrenal glands to function properly, but vitamin C is probably the most important one. Vitamin C is directly involved in producing cortisol in the adrenal glands and protects the adrenal glands from oxidative damage that occurs during stress. Buffered Vitamin C is a well tolerated form and gives you great absorption.
Pure Encapsulations – Buffered Ascorbic Acid Powder – Hypoallergenic Vitamin C Supplement for Sensitive Individuals – 227 Grams
Vitamin D
Foods are a very modest source of vitamin D. Fortunately there are two other ways to get your vitamin D. The first one is by exposing your skin to sunlight. But for several reasons most of us don’t get enough exposure to sunlight to make vitamin D (we live mostly indoors nowadays, use of sunscreen, seasonal lack of sunlight etc).
Fermented cod liver oil is a great supplement that provides vitamin D. This used to be a standard supplement in traditional European societies, helping to provide fat-soluble vitamins A and D, as well as omega 3 fatty acids in a highly digestible format. According to the research of Dr. Weston Price, the combination of cod liver oil and butter oil even produced better results.
Butter Oil / Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend – 120 Capsules
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is another key vitamin for optimal adrenal health. Make sure to use a “mixed tocopherol” type of vitamin E supplement.
Solgar – Vitamin E, 400 IU, 100 softgels
Magnesium
Magnesium supplements come in many varieties. Not all forms of magnesium are absorbed equally well and some may cause more side effects than others. Magnesium Glycinate seems to be the best tolerated form of Magnesium for the most people. Here is a high quality magnesium supplement:

Digestive Aids
Poor adrenal function is often related to poor digestion and low gastric acidity. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is naturally secreted in the stomach to digest food in order to be absorbed in the bloodstream, but chronic stress can deplete HCL and the body’s ability to produce HCL begins to decline after the age of 50. Low hydrochloric acid can cause nutrient deficiencies, as the body’s ability to absorb vitamins, amino acids, and minerals becomes severely impaired. Therefore it is a great idea to use digestive enzymes that contain hydrochloric acid (usually found as Betaine Hydrochloride).
Now Foods Betaine HCl, 648 mg , 120 Capsules
Poor digestion may also cause food to become stagnant, ferment and even putrefy in the gut, which may result in bacteria and yeast overgrowth that will cause inflammation in the gut lining. Supplementation with a good probiotic (probiotics are “good” live bacteria and yeast) can aid in digestive health as they play a key role in regulating healthy intestinal function and digestion by balancing intestinal microflora.
