The adrenal glands secrete the "fight or flight" hormones adrenaline, cortisol (to increase blood sugar) and aldosterone (to increase blood pressure). Additionally, an analysis of popular adrenal support supplements on the market found that all contained small amounts of thyroid and steroid hormones, which could potentially cause adverse effects or interfere with blood test results. While some of these ingredients have individually been shown to reduce fatigue or symptoms of stress, there is currently little evidence that "adrenal support formulas" do the same or improve adrenal gland function. Supplements promoted to increase energy, reduce stress and other symptoms caused by "adrenal fatigue" may contain a variety of ingredients, including vitamins and minerals, herbs, and/or dehydrated adrenal gland tissue from animals (typically from bovine source, i.e., cows).
