What is in the adrenal cocktail?

What is a good cortisol detox cocktail?

A well-balanced Adrenal Cocktail is one of the most popular natural drinks used to support the body during high-stress periods. It’s not technically a "detox," but by restoring hydration and minerals that cortisol burns through, it supports your body's stress response in a more sustainable way.

Does an adrenal cocktail help you lose weight?

The Adrenal Cocktail itself isn't designed for weight loss, but it can indirectly support weight management. By stabilizing energy, reducing stress-related cravings, and improving hydration, it may help reduce behaviors that lead to weight gain—like stress snacking or fatigue-driven overeating.

How often should I have an adrenal cocktail?

Once a day is the most common recommendation. Some people use it as a morning or afternoon ritual to restore energy, while others drink it a few times a week. Consistency matters more than frequency—listen to how your body responds and adjust as needed.
