Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Herbal blends designed to support adrenal gland function are primarily justified by traditional use in various herbal medicine systems, rather than by strong scientific validation. Many of these formulations typically include adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha, licorice root, rhodiola, holy basil, or ginseng. In traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, these herbs have been used to help the body adapt to stress, combat fatigue, and maintain overall vitality, which are attributed to healthy adrenal function. For instance, ashwagandha has a long history of use as a "rasayana" or rejuvenator in Ayurveda, believed to bolster resilience to stress. However, scientific studies supporting these claims are limited, often small-scale, and sometimes yield conflicting results. While some research suggests that certain adaptogens may help modulate the body’s stress response and reduce symptoms of fatigue, these effects are not consistently tied specifically to adrenal gland health or function. The concept of “adrenal fatigue,” a common rationale for these blends, is not recognized as a medical diagnosis in mainstream medicine. In summary, while there is significant traditional use of herbal blends for supporting the adrenal glands, robust scientific evidence confirming their efficacy for this purpose is lacking. Most support comes from anecdotal or historical use rather than well-established clinical trials.
