Are you burning the candle at both ends? 

When we consistently give more than we put back into our bodies, imbalance inevitably sets in. In the current state of the world, whether you are male or female, old or young, we are up against many challenges that our evolutionary bodies aren’t equipped to deal with. Furthermore, our modern food system is devoid of key minerals and nutrients required for our bodies to optimally function. Too much exertion + too little nourishment is a recipe for depletion.

Despite our topsy turvy world, there are many ways to find balance, restoration, and nourishment within it. For as many negativities that exist, there are even more beneficial modalities to support our bodies, minds, and spirits. The latter is where we like to focus our energies and is one of the reasons why we created Adrenal Genie.

Everybody comes equipped with 2 endocrine organs, the adrenal glands, that sit atop the kidneys. These tiny glands are easily depleted when we live a demanding life. Here's why:

The adrenals use minerals to build hormones that help us respond to challenging situations accordingly. If we are constantly in a challenged state of mind and/or being, the adrenals can become especially overtaxed. Since it takes much energy, vitamins, and nutrients to respond to challenging situations, it’s important we are filling our cup back up regularly to keep our body in balance.
So, to do our part helping you refill your cup, we made a new product! It's called Adrenal Genie and it's designed to revive and replenish the very nutrients that get depleted when life throws us curve balls!

About the Ingredients

Whole food Vitamin C 
  • Synthetic forms of Vitamin C (i.e. ascorbic acid) can interfere with the energy production center of our cells. However, whole food sources of Vitamin C optimize it! The adrenals go through a lot of Vitamin C when we live a fast-paced life, so it’s important to put back what we take out.
  • Acerola Cherry (Malpighia emarginata) is one of the highest known sources of Vitamin C. We pair it with Vitamin C & antioxidant rich Lemon and Blueberry to improve the taste and diversify the spectrum of vitamins and minerals. ​​

Sea salt
  • Many of us crave salt thinking we are unhealthy but here’s the truth: those cravings are just telling our bodies that we need more minerals! Minerals act as electrolytes, or conductors of electricity in our cells. If our cells don’t have access to electrolytes, they can’t make efficient energy - period!
  • The whole food form of salt - i.e. sea salt, not table salt (sodium chloride) - offers a balanced matrix of minerals that are highly bioavailable to our hungry cells
Potassium bicarbonate
  • This ingredient might sound a little strange, but Potassium can work with whole food sources of Vitamin C to support our body’s response to challenging situations. Levels of key elements like Potassium drop when we are under significant duress, so it’s important that we replenish.
  • Potassium bicarbonate is registered as GRAS under the section of suitable, safe and effective ingredients by the FDA. It’s created by passing carbon dioxide through a Potassium carbonate solution. Potassium bicarb is used in baking, wine, making, and even as an antacid. 
  • There’s no RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for Potassium, but 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is considered adequate. Remember, however, that if you are under extra stress, the rate at which your body burns through this key electrolytes increases. (FYI: the upper limit of Potassium is 15 g - that's a ton!)

Adrenal Genie FAQs

Should I consult a healthcare practitioner before taking this product?
  • Always consult with a trusted healthcare practitioner before beginning any new health routine

How much should I take?
  • 1 scoop 1-2x a day or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. 1 scoop provides ~385 mg Vitamin C (as Acerola cherry, Blueberry, & Lemon), 453 mg Sodium (as Redmond's Sea Salt), & 300 mg Potassium (as bicarbonate)

Should I take it with food?
  • The Potassium bicarbonate has an alkalizing effect, which means it reduces the potency of stomach acid. Therefore, having Adrenal Genie (or any alkalizing food/drink for that matter) around meal time is not a good idea. We like to have Adrenal Genie between meals at 10 am and 2 pm.

Do I have to have it with 8 oz of water only?
  • Definitely not! You can mix with more water (or even less!). You can also add a splash of your favorite juice. I like to mix my morning Adrenal Genie with 16 oz of water, 40 Trace Minerals research Trace Mineral drops, and a splash of lemon, cranberry, or pomegranate juice.

Can I take too much?
  • It is possible to take too much of anything! Always consult with a trusted healthcare practitioner (and check in with yourself!) to make sure you are doing what’s best for your body.
