Is an Adrenaline Cocktail Right for You?

Do you experience a drop in energy between 3-5 p.m.? Do you find yourself craving caffeinated beverages or sugary foods for a quick boost, only to face another crash soon after? Your adrenal glands might need some support.

A popular remedy you might come across is the adrenal cocktail, which typically includes orange juice, cream of tartar, and sea salt. This refreshing mix provides vitamin C and other minerals that support adrenal health. However, if you have diabetes or are pre-diabetic, orange juice may not be ideal. According to a 2021 analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data, 40% of U.S. adults aged 18 to 44 are insulin-resistant. (Learn more about insulin resistance here.)

With a family history of diabetes and personal experience with insulin resistance, I understand the need for appropriate support. The Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire is a simple tool that can help determine if your adrenal health needs additional support.

NAQ can tell you about the burden on your body, including adrenal health.

For those concerned about blood sugar levels, I recommend this modified adrenal cocktail:

Adrenal Cocktail Recipe

3. Voila! you have a refreshing "cocktail". Enjoy your healthy cocktail and celebrate your adrenal health!

Coconut water is rich in potassium and contains essential electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and calcium.

Caution: If you are a fast oxidizer, an adrenal cocktail might not be the best option for supporting your adrenal health. Learn more about the Hair Tissue Mineral Test here!
