Adrenal Complex

Adrenal glands hold the most vitamin C in your body and need B5 for cortisol synthesis. This formula feeds them both, then adds three adaptogens. Licorice root extends cortisol's half-life when you're depleted. Designed for burnout recovery, not daily use.

7.5/10
VERY GOOD

Practitioner-grade adrenal formula. Vitamin C + B5 are the nutrients adrenals consume most. Three adaptogens for cortisol modulation. Licorice slows cortisol breakdown. Designed for burnout, not daily use.

What We Like

  • Vitamin C (250mg) and B5 (500mg) are the two nutrients adrenals need most.
  • Three adaptogens targeting cortisol from different angles.
  • Licorice root slows cortisol metabolism (extends cortisol when depleted).
  • Practitioner-designed for specific use cases.

Watch Out For

  • Individual adaptogen doses are conservative.
  • Licorice root can raise blood pressure in sensitive individuals.
  • Not for daily indefinite use (licorice concerns).
  • Practitioner-grade pricing.
