Adrenal Strength Nutritional Therapeutix Nutrient 60ct
The Vegetarian Alternative to Glandulars Strengthens Adrenal Function
Stress is a killer. Research shows that the human physiology under stress, suffers in every aspect of its function. Stress, be it physical, emotional, mental or environmental, shortens life. Protecting against the debilitating effects of stress is essential to optimal health.
ADRENAL FUNCTION:
Adrenal Glands function to manage stress and enhance energy. The Adrenal Glands create hormones that affect energy, inflammation, blood pressure, blood sugar, electrolytes and emotions. “Fight or Flight” response, our most basic instinct, is controlled by the Adrenals. Without proper Adrenal Function, life is very difficult to manage.
ADRENAL EXHAUSTION - THE CHALLENGE:
Lifestyle, dietary and environmental factors affect the Adrenal Glands. Exhausted Adrenals deplete the body's vitality and disrupt the body's balance.
ADRENAL STRENGTH- THE SOLUTION
Adrenal Strength™ is specifically formulated to Strengthen every aspect of Adrenal function. Adrenal Strength™ also Strengthens the body's natural stress adaptation response. Sensoril® is a patented Ashwagandha extract that manages stress, tension, irritability and energy. Reishi & Cordyceps Organic Optimized Response Mushrooms, grown on antioxidant-rich purple corn, are a remedy for stress and restores the body's vitality and balance. Cold Fusion™ FoodState® Nutrients, such as Pantothenic Acid is an important component in the manufacture of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein (ACP). These critical body chemicals are vital to the manufacture of Adrenal Hormones and red blood cells. Pantothenic Acid stimulates the Adrenal Cortex, increases the production of cortisone and other adrenal hormones. Both CoA and ACP play essential roles in fat and carbohydrate utilization and energy production. [1]
Adaptogens maintain homeostasis, support the Adrenal Glands and Adrenal functions during stress. Adrenal Strength™ contains the premier adaptogens Ashwagandha, Schizandra Berry, Holy Basil, Cultivated American Ginseng, and Astragalus Root.
Adrenal Strength™ is Driven by Food™ and will provide a strengthening action or effect. Please see the Adrenal Strength™ Information Quickie for more information on this formula.

ABOUT ACTIVATED ORGANIC MUSHROOMS
It All Starts with Certified P Value
MycoMedicinal certified organic mushrooms from Paul Stamets and New Chapter are the finest traditional mushrooms grown anywhere in the world, and are the only commercially available mushrooms with a Certified P Value. P Value is a scientific term for the genetic integrity of the mushroom. When Paul Stamets, one of the world?s leading mushroom experts, selects a mushroom from the rainforest, he cultures it in rigorously controlled conditions in his laboratories. The growing mushroom mycelium is absolutely genetically identical with the rainforest mushroom that gave it birth, carrying all of its genetic energy and healing force. Mushrooms not grown in such a rigorous potency-assured manner may be hundreds of generations distant from the purity of their genetic heritage, and thus suffer genetic degeneration and a lack of vitality. We certify that all MycoMedicinal mushrooms have a P Value ensuring the fullest healing power and potency.
Medicinal Mushrooms from Old-Growth Forests
May Counter Smallpox and Similar Viruses
Mycologist Paul Stamets tests over 100 mushroom extracts with NIH and USAMRIID. Several show selective potent anti-viral properties.
Fomitopsis officinalis is highly selective against viruses. F. officinalis is a wood conk mushroom, known for thousands of years as Agarikon.
Dr. John A. Secrist III, vice president of Southern Research Institutes Drug Discovery Division, who oversees an NIAID contract to evaluate potential antiviral drugs, notes that “Several of Stamets medicinal mushroom extracts have shown very interesting activity against pox viruses in cell culture assays performed through NIAID, and we are hopeful that they will also prove effective in the animal model systems. …In the past year, approximately ten samples showed activity warranting approval for animal testing, of these, two are from strains of Agarikon discovered by Stamets. Moreover, Mr. Stamets samples are the only natural products extracts tested through this program that have demonstrated very active anti-pox activity.
The NIH/USAMRIID screening program tests the mushroom extracts against viruses that could be weaponized, including the viruses causing yellow fever, dengue, SARS, respiratory viruses, and pox viruses. Of the Agarikon samples submitted to date, several showed potent activity for reducing infection from vaccinia and cowpox, which are in the same family as the smallpox virus. These extracts show activity against vaccinia and cowpox by two different viral evaluations, demonstrating the reproducibility of the results.
Do you need to eat with MegaFood Nutrients like other brands suggest? No. MegaFood is a FoodState Nutrient, so just as if you would eat broccoli, the body knows exactly what to do with the nutrients broccoli contains, your MegaFood supplement will also know. This is a major difference between other brands. You can also chew it. You'll notice the texture is quite different as well than other brands. You can see the food in the supplement.
Can the product go bad quicker? It does have a 2 year shelf life, however just as food spoils and smells bad, you will know if your MegaFood supplement has gone bad because it will spoil just the same.
I noticed that the product is not certified organic, does that mean it is not as pure as organic or does not meet organic standards? Actually Validated does not meet organic standards, it exceeds them. The value of a supplement begins with the handling of the raw material. The finished material is only as Valid as the weakest link in the processing. When dealing with raw materials, especially foods, there are a series of events that must be controlled for the finished product to be the highest quality. No matter what the intent of the finished product, Cold Fusion FoodState, whole food, organic, cultured or food based, the condition and Quality of the raw materials used throughout the process is crucial. Validation Documentation is a measure of the raw material now. True nutritional value should be measured through the support of laboratory analysis and Documented Validation.
What is Marked Whole Foods and Marking To A Maker to Guarantee Whole Food Activity mean? One approach to establishing the quality of raw materials is to set minimum levels of quality through Marker Compounds for each raw material. This process is known as "Marking To A Marker. The markers Validate phytonutrient levels and therefore the quality of the raw materials. Marked To A Maker Validation testing reveals that when a Marker Compound is high in a specific raw material, other phytonutrient compounds in that material measure high as well. When Sulfurophane, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C are at high levels in broccoli, other compounds such as Vitamin A, B Vitamins and Iron will also measure at high levels. Marker Compounds are the best Validation. It's impossible to measure every compound in broccoli to ensure its quality. Broccoli may contain as many as 20,000 individual compounds. No one knows the exact number or all the components that make up any food. Therefore we rely on certain identified marker compounds as a measure of broccolis quality. Marked To A Marker is not perfect. It is the best current method to Validate the quality of raw materials.
MegaFood is the first company, and currently the only company, to offer "Quality Marked" fruits and vegetables in our formulas. Specific marker compounds are used to Validate the Quality of our raw materials. This concept, created a whole new category of supplements, Quality Marked Whole Foods. This was the beginning of an important step for MegaFood, requiring Validation Documents for the foods used in our formulas.
There exists considerable debate and uncertainty as to the definition of Quality in relationship to supplements. There are many tests that can be performed using HPLC, TLC, IR, NMR and other testing methods to Validate supplements. This testing is expensive; therefore, validation is not routinely performed. MegaFood believes that it is crucial to the future of the Health Food Business to Validate the Quality of our supplements.
We can objectively measure the value of supplements and assure they are the highest Quality through analysis of the finished product. The material must pass a test that proves nutrient activity at the tableted or encapsulated stage.
