Drenamin®

Standard Process

Healthy Adrenal Function *

• How Drenamin Supports Adrenal Health*
• Vitamin C is found in high concentrations in the adrenal glands and plays a role in the natural stress response as a cofactor in the synthesis of catecholamines: the “fight or flight” hormones secreted by the adrenal glands. 1-3 Vitamin B 6-dependent enzymes are also required for the biosynthesis of epinephrine and dopamine — two other important neurotransmitters. 4
• How Drenamin Impacts Emotional Balance*
• Dietary intake status of select nutrients — which include niacin (B 3), riboflavin (B 2), and vitamin B 6, all of which are included in one serving of Drenamin — is associated with mental health status with regard to mood and optimal neurological functioning. 11-13 Vitamin B 6 is a cofactor for the synthesis of GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. 14-15
• How Drenamin Contributes to a Healthy Immune Response*
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which is critical to a healthy immune system by helping to manage oxidative stress, supporting the maturation of T cells, stimulating leukocyte function, and playing a role in natural killer (NK) cell activity. 5-8 Vitamin C is also important for white blood cell function as well as the maintenance and regeneration of cells. 6,8-9 The B vitamins riboflavin (B 2), niacin (B 3), and pyridoxine (B 6) may also play a role in immune function. 10
