HPA Essentials supports a healthy stress response, energy production and neuroendocrine function with a combination of the active form of B vitamins, vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids.

A clinical trial of 52 people demonstrated a daily combination of vitamins B1 and B6 and 900mg ascorbic acid improved glucocorticoid function of the adrenal glands and normalised gland rhythmic activity.¹

Provides nutrients required during times of stress
B vitamins support the healthy functioning of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Vitamin B1 has been shown to reduce cortisol activity during stress, thereby protecting the body against excessive stress hormone levels. Additionally, active vitamin B12 and mecobalamin may help shift the cortisol secretion peak, helping to regulate patients’ cortisol clock. Vitamin B5 deficiency is associated with decreased adrenal function.

Neurotransmitter synthesis

Vitamin B6 functions as a coenzyme in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters GABA, noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin, while vitamin B5 is involved in the synthesis of melatonin and may, therefore, have a favourable effect on patients’ sense of well-being.
