Adrenal cocktails are beverages that contain essential vitamins and nutrients that the adrenal glands need to function properly. This includes vitamin C, sodium and potassium. These essential nutrients nourish the adrenal glands by giving them exactly what they need to function optimally and produce the hormones the body needs to thrive.

There are several different ways to create a good adrenal cocktail, but I’m going to share with you my favorite way to make it.
Typical adrenal cocktails include orange juice (vitamin c) salt (sodium) and cream of tartar (potassium)
I make mine differently and I will explain why as I list the ingredients I use.
INGREDIENTS
- Orange juice: I still use orange juice in mine but just a splash. For vitamin C I use Ascorbic acid powder. I’m currently using this kind. However, after some recent research I have discovered that a whole foods vitamin C is better, like this one. Just follow the directions on the label.
- Salt: for sodium I use Redmond Real Salt. It’s derived from an ancient seabed in Utah, it’s completely natural and packed with minerals the body needs.
- Potassium: To get plenty of Potassium I use coconut water in place of cream of tartar. I think this is the best way to get potassium. Cream of tartar is derived from wine-making processes and can cause adverse reactions in some individuals. Plus, coconut water is very hydrating, which is also great for the adrenals. This is a good brand from Amazon. I really like the Kroger brand as well. See pictured below:
DIRECTIONS
Start off by pouring 6-8 oz of chilled coconut water into a glass. Trust me you want your coconut water chilled. Add in a couple splashes of orange juice. you could always add more orange juice to taste. I like to use less because orange juice is high in sugar. Then add a quarter of a tsp of Redmond Real Salt for sodium and the daily dose of vitamin c powder as per the label. After you add all the ingredients into the glass, stir well and enjoy!
Adrenal cocktails are best taken around 12-2 PM away from meals to allow for optimal absorption of the vitamins and minerals.
EXTRA INGREDIENT
I add another ingredient which isn’t in a typical adrenal cocktail, but I know from personal experience it is very important. This component is MAGNESIUM. Magnesium is vital for healthy functioning of not only the adrenal glands, but our bodies overall response to stress. you can read more about magnesium in this blog post. I use this kind. I just follow the directions on the label adding the drops directly into the adrenal cocktail.
My Story
I’ve been drinking one of these adrenal cocktails every day for over 6 months now. When I was struggling with severe fatigue sometimes, I would have 2 a day depending on how I felt. Drinking this adrenal cocktail wasn’t a quick fix but it was a major part in my adrenal fatigue and burnout recovery.
I hope you like this recipe too!
I wish you love on your healing journey friend.
