Nutritional Supplementation
Few things that will help, Pregnenolone and Dhea have been the biggest factors for me.
An optimal balance of vitamins and minerals for optimum adrenal function can include:
500 mg to 3,000 mg of vitamin C with bioflavonoid and synergistic co-factors. Vitamin C is perhaps the most gentle of all adrenal supporting nutrients. It is best to get take Vitamin C in ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate form. Those who have a sensitive gastric system should consider mineral ascorbates. A properly personalized combination of different forms of oral vitamin C often works better than a single form. The proper delivery system also plays a critical and significant role. Nutrients are good only to the degree they can be delivered to the cell. The right combination of delivery systems (including liposomal, powdered, and capsulated) is therefore critical. One of the most common Adrenal Fatigue recovery program mistakes is the lack of properly administered vitamin C dosed for the body's specific need.
Glutathione by intravenous or by liposomal oral delivery to enhance the effectiveness and cellular bio-availablity of vitamin C, E, alpha lipoic acid, and carnitine. Glutathione acts as a liver detoxifier and helps recycle inactive oxidized vitamin C back to its reduced active form in the body after vitamin C has served its function.
900 to 1,500 mg of Vitamin B5 (panthothenic acid) as most hormone production in the adrenal gland needs the co-enzyme A / pantethine, a by-product of Vitamin B5, to be produced.
400-800 I.U. of Vitamin E is another important nutrient. It is involved in at least six different enzymatic reactions in the adrenal cascade. Take 400 to 800 I.U. of vitamin E daily.
1000 to 5000 I.U of Vitamin D is a good nutrient to support hormonal synthesis.
Additional nutrients that may be considered include 10,000 to 25,000 I.U of beta-carotene, selenium (100-200 mcg), magnesium (200-800 mg), lysine (1-2 gm), proline (500mg - 1gm), glutamine (1-5 gm), DHEA 15-50 mg, and pregnenolone 25-50 mg, Ribose and co-factors 2,000-10,000 mg , CoQ 300-1,000 mg, Type 1 and Type 3 collagen.
Adrenal glandular, adrenal extract and herbals such as ashwagandha root, licorice root Korean Ginseng, Siberian Ginseng, ginger root, and ginkgo leaf can also be helpful for short term. They are widely promoted, their effectiveness and adaptogenic properties seem to be most suitable for those with very mild Adrenal Fatigue.

and I went through hell for years as no one would listen to me. I am very interested in any suggestions concerning additional supplementation and so on. This was an interesting read. Thank you!
