It almost seems a bit redundant to point out that tea might have the ability to alleviate fatigue. After all, for many people who drink it (and coffee) that’s one of tea’s most appealing features. But, according to more than one study, it’s not just the caffeine content of tea that imparts this benefit.

Recent research in Japan appears to have confirmed what for many people was already a given, that tea may help cut down on physical and mental fatigue. Results of a study that appeared in the journal Nutrition in 2008 indicated that a green tea extract helped counter the accumulated effects of fatigue.

The tests were carried out on rats and found that those fed a green tea compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were able to exercise longer than animals in a control group. Researchers noted that those in the control group experienced increased levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), which were lessened in the group given EGCG.

A previous study indicated that green tea extract tended to alleviate chronic fatigue-induced oxidative stress in mice. According to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and DePaul University, there are more than one million people, just in the United States alone, who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The study, which was conducted by researchers at India’s Panjab University, treated mice with a combination of green tea extract and catechin, a compound also found in tea. They concluded “that GTE and catechin could be used as potential agents in the management of CFS and warrant the inclusion of GTE and catechin in the treatment regimen of CFS patients.

The notion that tea (and coffee) can help with fatigue is obviously not a new one, as evidenced by this 1989 article - Fatigue: Often Tea & Coffee Can Alleviate Symptoms - which first appeared in the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal.

eat only live unprocessed foods…chelation therapy…colon cleanse…drink plenty of cayenne pepper tea and kombucha tea, get plenty of sun.

I am not much of a believer in alternate therapies as some may work but how would a person know? It may have a psychological affect and nothing else. I do know the adrenal glands are heavily dependent on vitamin C so i would use that as a supplement. The adrenal glands are heavily involved in stress bot physical and mental the cortex which is the bark has 52 known hormones it makes including cortisol. There was a pharmaceutical product called ACE which was given by injection. It was adrenal cortical extract taken from animal glands. I don’t think it is available any more as it’s value was in question. A person with true adrenal exhaustion has Addison’s disease and the skin turns dark. I think an endocrinologist should be able to prescribe any hormones that are essential to better heath. Only supplying them and rest will make the glands return to normal.

Please read my source. It should help you with adrenal fatigue. I don’t suffer from it. I just read about it. Please read my source. I found a website about adrenal fatigue. Go see it.
