CatecholaCalm

- Supports healthy catecholamine levels to promote rest and relaxation
Research and clinical anecdotal evidence demonstrate that chronic stress causes much more than cortisol imbalance. Chronic stress inevitably leads to a state of adrenal exhaustion or “burn-out”; a compensatory adrenal response often occurs, where we see an increase in catecholamine activity in the sympathetic nervous system. This increasingly common phenomenon is often seen in post-traumatic stress disorder and classic fibromyalgia; thus, when sympathetic responses seem excessive, it is imperative to optimize both cortisol and catecholamine balance. CatecholaCalm is specifically designed to address these increasingly common adrenal hormonal imbalances — prioritizing cortisol and catecholamines only. The formula includes carefully chosen adaptogenic, nervine and adrenal tonic herbs, as well as key nutrients to increase the strength of the adrenal glands and ensure their optimal function. Much like high cortisol levels, high catecholamine levels can affect serum blood sugar and insulin, contributing to the development of metabolic syndrome. Epidemiological data show that the prevalence of PTSD in Canada is estimated at 9.2%. Furthermore, according to 76.1% of respondents, at least one traumatic exposure to an event would be enough to cause PTSD. With traumatic stress now reaching epidemic levels among Canadians, it is particularly important to focus on catecholamines (too often overlooked) to ensure good adrenal health during times of stress.
