Adrenal Food: Super-Charged Vitamin C – AzureWell

Adrenal Food (Super-charged Vit C) is a comprehensive vitamin C supplement, differing from commonly available synthetic ascorbic acid. Our Adrenal Fooddelivers the complete molecular complexity of vitamin C found in natural, whole-food sources. This wholistic formula includes vital minerals and enzymes that are absent in many typical vitamin C supplements. It provides a bioactive form of vitamin C from natural sources like Amla fruit, along with essential minerals like sea salt and potassium bicarbonate. Vitamin C has many uses in the body, including collagen synthesis, catecholamine production, and steroidogenesis in the adrenal glands, making it crucial for adrenal health and overall well-being.* 

Biological Mechanisms and Functions

• Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C is crucial for making collagen, a protein that supports tissue structure.*  The adrenal glands are collagen-rich and need structural integrity to function properly.
• Catecholamine Production: Vitamin C acts as a cofactor for the enzyme dopamine β-hydroxylase, aiding in catecholamine production, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, in the adrenal glands.*
• Steroidogenesis: Vitamin C is essential for the optimal function of enzymes involved in the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones like cortisol in the adrenal glands.*
• Antioxidant Function: As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C neutralizes oxidative stress in the adrenal glands.*
• Stress Response: The adrenal glands, under stress, ramp up hormone secretion. This in turn increases the need for vitamin C.*
• Immune Support: Vitamin C broadly supports the immune system. It also helps alleviate stress on the adrenal glands which are part of the immune system.*

Adrenal Food (Super-charged Vit C)includes:

• Amla fruit is rich in naturally occurring vitamin C.
• Sea Salt aids the adrenal glands in maintaining sodium homeostasis.*
• Potassium Bicarbonate assists with the absorption of other synergistic components, and compensates for potassium loss that may arise from long term stress.*

Extended Details:

A low-cost ascorbic acid-based supplement might offer transient advantages, but it may induce an uncoupling of copper from ceruloplasmin, a protein of paramount importance in human physiology. Without copper, ceruloplasmin’s ability to harness, regulate, and chaperone iron is compromised, leading to uncontrolled iron behavior within the body.* 

The bioavailable form of copper present in AzureWell’s Adrenal Food (Super-charged Vit C),is important in the proper chaperoning of iron and the transformation of oxygen into cellular energy.*
