Kidneys & Adrenal glands

Optimal functioning of the kidneys

In addition to removing waste from the body, another task for the kidneys is to maintain the amount of water and salts in the blood. The kidneys function as filters and distinguish between certain substances that must remain in the blood and which do not. In addition, the kidneys play an important role in regulating blood pressure and the kidneys make vitamin D active. Optimal functioning of the kidneys is important for a vital body.

Adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex

Contrary to what the name suggests, the adrenals have nothing to do with the kidneys. An adrenal gland consists of an inner part (medulla) and an outer part (cortex). The adrenal marrow is responsible for the production of two hormones (adrenaline and noradrenaline) that are important for the regulation of blood pressure, among other things.

Adrenal food supplements

The bark is made up of three zones, each with its own function. The inner zone provides both female and male sex hormones. The middle zone produces glucocorticoids (including cortisol), which, among other things, influence fat distribution, glucose forms and suppress inflammation. Finally, the outer zone is responsible for the production of hormones that affect the mineral balance. Proper care supports the proper functioning of this organ. Various products, including DHEA and Adrenal Strength from MegaFood, have been specially formulated for the adrenal glands.
