An adaptogenic herbal and nutrient formula used when stress becomes persistent and recovery feels harder. Combines standardized adaptogens with select B vitamins to support adrenal resilience.*
NuMedica AdrenaMed® is an adaptogenic herbal and nutrient formula used when stress becomes persistent and begins to affect energy, recovery, and overall resilience. It combines standardized adaptogenic herbs with select B vitamins commonly associated with adrenal hormone production.
This formula is typically considered when targeted nutrient support alone no longer feels sufficient and broader adrenal support becomes part of the conversation.
AdrenaMed is often used in situations such as:
In these situations, adaptogenic herbs are sometimes introduced to support how the body responds to sustained stress.
AdrenaMed is not intended to replace medical care, address diagnosed endocrine conditions, or compensate for chronic sleep deprivation, under-fueling, or unmanaged stress. It is also not designed to act as a stimulant or quick-energy product.
This formula is best understood as part of a broader, steady approach to stress support rather than a standalone solution.
Adaptogenic herbs are traditionally used to support the body's ability to adapt to physical and mental stress over time. Rather than pushing energy levels up or down, they are used to promote balance and resilience during ongoing demand.
AdrenaMed combines standardized extracts of cordyceps, rhodiola, and American ginseng with select B vitamins to support this broader stress-response pattern.
Several NuMedica formulas address stress-related support at different stages. The comparison below highlights the options most often considered at this point.
| Corti-B Plex | AdrenaMed | AdrenaMed GL50 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form | Targeted B vitamins | Adaptogenic herbs with B vitamins | Adaptogens with glandular and micronutrient support |
| Primary active per serving | Pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 | Cordyceps, rhodiola, ginseng | Adaptogens plus glandular tissues |
| Release style | Standard oral capsules | Standard oral capsules | Standard oral capsules |
| Adjustability | Used during higher demand | Used during sustained stress | Used when broader support is needed |
| Taste / format | Capsules | Capsules | Capsules |
| Best for | Stress requiring focused nutrients | Persistent stress patterns | Stress with sensitivity or complexity |
Some individuals return to targeted nutrient support once stress levels stabilize. Others prefer a more restrictive or refined adrenal formula if sensitivity or tolerance becomes a concern.
AdrenaMed sits between nutrient-only support and more complex adrenal strategies, offering a balanced adaptogenic approach without excessive formulation.
NuMedica AdrenaMed® is designed to support periods of sustained stress where resilience and recovery matter more than short-term stimulation. It is typically used within a long-term routine that also includes adequate nutrition, rest, movement, and realistic stress management.
This formula reflects a measured approach to adrenal support for individuals navigating ongoing demands.

AdrenaMed is commonly used when stress feels persistent, and recovery becomes harder over time. This often includes situations in which energy, stamina, or resilience do not rebound easily after prolonged mental or physical pressure. The formula combines adaptogenic herbs with select nutrients to support this pattern.
Nutrient-only formulas focus on vitamins and minerals involved in stress and energy metabolism. AdrenaMed adds adaptogenic herbs, traditionally used to support the body's adaptation to ongoing stress. This difference matters most when stress patterns feel sustained rather than temporary.
No. AdrenaMed is not designed to stimulate or force energy levels upward. Adaptogenic herbs are used to support balance and resilience rather than quick or artificial energy.
AdrenaMed is often used during extended periods of stress rather than for brief or situational demands. Some people use it for a defined period and later adjust their approach as stress levels change, while others continue it when ongoing support feels appropriate.
Both formulas provide adaptogenic support, but they differ in composition. AdrenaMed focuses on standardized adaptogenic herbs and select B vitamins. AdrenaMed GL50 includes additional micronutrients and glandular components and is often considered when formulation sensitivity or broader support becomes a factor.
Individuals seeking general, everyday stress support may prefer a broad B-complex. Those who want adrenal-focused nutrition without herbs may consider nutrient-only formulas. AdrenaMed fits between these approaches for situations where stress feels persistent and more comprehensive support is needed.

Cortisol, often called the "stress hormone," plays an important role in the body's response to stress. The adrenal glands produce cortisol, essential for maintaining the body's systems and regulating various physiological processes. While cortisol is important for survival, chronically high levels can harm physical and mental health.
The gut-microbiota-brain axis, a marvel of nature, is a complex and fascinating communication system involving the gut, the diverse community of microbes that live within it, and the brain. This bidirectional network, which involves the nervous, hormonal, and immune systems, is important to our overall health and wellness.
In this article, we will explore the gut-microbiota-brain axis and its impact on our well-being. We will also discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiota and how to support this connection through supplements and lifestyle changes.
We live busy lives, and sometimes the expectations from our job, families, social lives and society at large can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, and unable to cope.
There are many causes for chronic stress, and everyone will notice different stress symptoms.
