Contact UsWhat Is Adrenal Vital Support
Adrenal Vital Support is the name Voshell's Pharmacy uses for a compounded preparation related to adrenal-supportive nutrients and adaptogenic herbs. Compounded medications are not reviewed by FDA for safety or effectiveness before dispensing and are prepared by a licensed pharmacist only in response to a valid prescription for an individual patient.
Key ingredients and what they do
- Vitamin C: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, ascorbic acid plays a role in adrenal hormone synthesis and serves as an antioxidant cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions.
- Pantothenic acid (B5): According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, pantothenic acid is involved in coenzyme A biosynthesis, which plays a role in steroid hormone production and cellular energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B6 and magnesium: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, both nutrients are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and normal nervous system function.
- Adaptogenic herbs (e.g., ashwagandha, rhodiola, licorice root): These herbs have been studied for their effects on physiological stress responses; consult a qualified prescriber before use, as some may interact with medications or affect blood pressure.
- Phosphatidylserine or herbal extracts: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, phosphatidylserine has been studied for its role in cell membrane integrity and may be included in compounded preparations at a qualified prescriber's discretion.
How to use and safety considerations
- Use: Typically taken daily with food; follow the label or directions from a qualified prescriber.
- Safety: Licorice root may raise blood pressure and affect potassium levels; adaptogenic herbs may interact with certain medications—consult a qualified prescriber before starting.
- Personalization: A compounding pharmacist may adjust ingredients and doses in response to a valid prescription from a qualified prescriber.
'Adrenal fatigue' is not a recognized medical diagnosis. True adrenal disorders (such as Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome) require evaluation and treatment by an endocrinologist. This page describes a compounded preparation for educational purposes only and is not a treatment for any adrenal condition.
