What is it? ATP SCIENCE ADRENAL RX is a blend of herbs designed to bring your cortisol levels back into balance. With our busy lifestyles and our dependence on caffeine, it is very easy to shift the balance of cortisol production from that which is necessary to that which is going to send you to an early grave. Cortisol is essential for survival, helping to provide fast energy in times of stress. Our bodies however were not designed to be stressed all day (21st century lifestyle) and the extra cortisol can wreak havoc on our nervous and immune systems. ADRENAL RX is designed to bring our cortisol levels back into balance for optimal health.
