What is an Adrenal Cocktail?

What is an adrenal cocktail?

It’s not something you’d find in a cocktail bar, it’s actually a healthy electrolyte drink!

So why do we recommend them? 👀

Adrenals are little glands on top of our kidneys and these little things run so many things in our body! Adrenal glands are heavily involved in how we respond to stress responses, but also how our electrolytes flow in and around our kidneys and in our blood. They help to regulate a whole lot inside our bodies. If you’ve ever had the adrenaline rush (yes, it’s all of us), or had to deal with stress (yep, also all of us), that is when those little adrenal glands are working hard for you.

The more stress you have, the more out of whack our adrenal glands become.

If you’ve ever heard anyone say, ‘I’ve got adrenal fatigue’ it’s because those little glands can get really overworked. That’s when exhaustion, physical breakdowns, mental health challenges (and so many other things) start to show up.

You don’t have a lot left to give and it’s often because your adrenals are really not handling things very well.

The adrenal cocktail is a healthy way to support those adrenal glands. It’s like a breath of fresh air and a way for them to help you ‘keep on, keeping on’.

It can help you have a bit more energy in your day, sleep better at night and gives you some important whole food vitamin c and electrolytes, to also help in other ways.

Start off with half the recipe pictured once per day, after a week, increase either to a full quantity, or, two half quantities at different times of the day.

For example, you could start with having a half quantity mid-morning or mid-afternoon, or even when you start your day off if that’s easier than remembering to do something during the day. 

Then next week, you could do a half quantity both mid-morning AND mid-afternoon, or, one early in your day, and one while you’re preparing dinner or in the early evening after dinner. 

Pick something and keep it simple and within your existing routine. Don’t overthink it!

What kind of salt should you use?

For the salt, use something unprocessed like our Aussie Copago salt, or even simply Celtic salt or Himalayan salt. DO NOT USE TABLE SALT.

Avoid processed salt in general.

It’s a bit of an interesting combination, right? You might be thinking hmm, I’m not entirely sure about how that will taste… it’s like tangy, salty orange juice.

Many people taste it and love it right away – some find it a little strange at first, but after a while, get used to it.

When you try it, let us know which was your first response in the comments below!

What if I don’t like it?

If it’s really revolting to you, don’t push through it; try another recipe. If it’s just a bit strange, keep going for a few days, and see how you go.

You’ll probably find the taste isn’t so bad after two or three weeks. If you stop, notice how you’re feeling – you’ll probably notice it! Maybe you don’t sleep as well, maybe you experience an afternoon lull. Pay attention.

Adrenal Cocktails – a wrap up

In summary – start with half the recipe, and have one every day. Then work your way up slowly to the full recipe or twice daily half quantities, without rushing.

If you can, try not to have it with meals, but if that’s the only time you can have an adrenal cocktail it’s better than not having one at all.

Then you can work up in either serving size or quantity until you are at two full versions per day and see how you go.
