Nutritional Balancing Supplements

Nutritional balancing supplements are specific vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements designed specifically to balance your individual body chemistry. Hair mineral analysis can accurately assess your adrenal function, thyroid activity, metabolic rate, nutritional deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity, as well as provide a blueprint with which we can prescribe Nutritional Balancing supplements to effectively correct your metabolic rate, support your adrenals and thyroid and help your body naturally detoxify itself of toxic heavy metals.

Many people who use supplements for adrenal fatigue also rely on stimulants such as coffee, tea, soda, sugar, and other "natural" herbal stimulants such as ginseng which all speed up the rate at which energy is pumped out of the adrenals. These stimulants will keep your adrenals working extra hard which can make them even more fatigued in the long run. Vitamin C and Licorice are commonly prescribed to patients with adrenal fatigue but these can in fact be too stimulating and can cause even more adrenal fatigue when prescribed on their own for an extended period of time.

Pantothenic acid and other B vitamins are also necessary in helping to rebuild the adrenals, but in improper dosage or ratios to one another can also be too stimulating. Natural substances such as maca, cordyceps, ginseng, glandular extracts, royal jelly, and eleuthero root are all great and can help many people, but again these are usually inadequate on their own to provide complete recovery from adrenal fatigue or adrenal burnout. The adrenals need to rest deeply when you sleep in order to regain their strength and many of these products can worsen insomnia.

That is why a full nutritional balancing supplement program that includes vitamins and minerals, medicinal herbs, glandular extracts, amino acids, and digestive aids with dietary guidelines and lifestyle adjustments is the most complete and successful holistic treatment with Adrenal fatigue supplements.

Hair and Soft Tissue Mineral Analysis, when done by a sophisticated and high quality Hair Analysis lab such as Analytical Research Labs, is able to provide a blueprint by which we can accurately prescribe vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements in the correct dosage and proportions to effectively match your body's exact nutritional needs for increased energy production.

B complex vitamins are indispensable part of any adrenal fatigue supplement program, but when given in improper ratios to one another for your specific metabolic rate can actually worsen your condition. Zinc and Magnesium are also essential minerals in the rebuilding of the adrenals and energy producing enzymatic pathways, but without a proper balance of other nutrients, these can lower Sodium levels to such a degree that your adrenals actually shut down.

Nutritional Balancing is a procedure where vitamins and minerals are combined in such a way that energy production is increased at a cellular level, your metabolic rate is sped up or slowed down depending on your specific requirements, and fundamental herbs and glandular substances are prescribed at the correct dosage to provide optimal energy improvement that is sustaining. By relaxing the overexcited "sympathetic nervous system" we are able to get the adrenal glands to rest long enough and truly utilize the nutritional support to rebuild itself and recover from adrenal fatigue.

How does Hair Analysis work?

In an unwashed Hair sample, the readings of Sodium and Potassium correlate with Adrenal function. If Sodium and Potassium levels are low or if their ratio to one another is low, this is a clear diagnostic reading of Adrenal Fatigue. Adrenal Fatigue is usually accompanied by Thyroid insufficiency which is shown on a hair analysis test with high Calcium and Magnesium levels in the hair and therefore the soft tissues.

High Calcium and Magnesium in the blood and tissues can cause severe fatigue on its own since Calcium slows down cell permeability and the rate of your metabolism of food converting into energy. This with a low Sodium and Potassium reading actually indicates a bio-unavailability of Calcium, Magnesium and many other trace minerals needed for energy production since Sodium and Potassium are needed to make Calcium and other minerals soluble and able transport across the cell membrane to get into the cell where they are used as cofactors for energy producing enzymatic conversions along your metabolic pathway.

Mercury or Copper toxicity may be causing toxic reactions and overstimulating your adrenal stress response which will artificially raise your Sodium and Potassium levels, temporarily making you feel more energized but will result in an increased tendency for anger, hostility, anxiety, worries, panic attacks and insomnia, and will ultimately make your adrenal glands even weaker.

Calm, focused, and stable mental energy comes about by balancing your metabolic rate, eliminating excitory toxins like unbound Copper and providing the nourishment the brain requires for the production of calming neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), and 5-HIAA which can help reduce depression, insomnia, negative thinking, and even suicidal tendencies. Zinc, B6, B3, Magnesium, Tryptophan, Phenylalanine, and Tyrosine are some of the most fundamental nutrients for proper brain function and mood regulation. Taking these in improper balance to one another or with the wrong oxidation rate can have adverse effects.
