The stress response was designed to be a temporary response that mobilizes the body’s energy and resources so that it is prepared to deal with a perceived threat.
However, in many cases today, stress of many different forms becomes chronic, which has a wide variety of negative health consequences. These sources of stress can be physical, as in the case of chronic illness or chronic exposure to environmental toxins, or mental/emotional as in the case of a stressful job, toxic relationships, recurring traumas, and more.
A common adrenal imbalance that can arise because of chronic stress is referred to as adrenal fatigue or adrenal insufficiency.
This occurs when cortisol and other adrenal hormones have been produced at high levels for a sustained period until the adrenal glands become weakened and can no longer produce sufficient levels of these hormones.
Because the body relies on adrenal hormones for many important functions as discussed above, adrenal fatigue can lead to a variety of symptoms.
The adrenal glands are also considered to be imbalanced during the period that they are overproducing stress hormones, before adrenal fatigue sets in, which is just as taxing on the body.
Anxiety is a very common symptom with a wide variety of possible underlying causes.
For many, this can be one of the most challenging and unsettling symptoms to experience and try to manage.

Supporting the adrenal glands is extremely important for achieving and maintaining optimal health, especially when going through particularly stressful periods in our life.
Adrenal support is also helpful when experiencing many forms of chronic illness. This is because the body experiences illness as a form of stress, in which the stress response is mobilized. When this is sustained over long periods of time, healing can become more difficult without supporting and balancing the body’s stress response.
Licorice root supports the adrenal glands by helping your body maintain more stable cortisol levels, which reduces the stress load on the adrenal system. Its active compound, glycyrrhizin, slows the enzyme that breaks down cortisol, allowing this crucial stress-response hormone to stay active longer so the body doesn’t have to constantly produce more. This gives the adrenal glands a chance to rest while improving energy, stress tolerance, and emotional balance. Licorice also gently supports the entire HPA axis—the communication loop between the brain and adrenals—and provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that help protect the body from the damaging effects of chronic stress.
