Adrenal Cocktail Recipes

There are several pre-mixed versions of the “Adrenal Cocktail” that can be found in the RCP Instruction Manual (free download available here).

Outlined below is a DIY recipe with several alternatives, based on what resources you have available and/or can tolerate. In general, any “Adrenal Cocktail” recipe should deliver approximately:

375mg of Potassium
460mg of Sodium
60mg of Wholefood Vitamin C

Base Recipe

4 Oz. of Orange Juice
- Fresh squeezed is best, but not essential. The Vitamin-C Complex makes sure that the minerals noted below get to the Liver to then nourish the Adrenals.
1/4 tsp of Cream of Tartar
- This is an excellent source of Potassium, or you can use Potassium Bicarbonate.
1/4 tsp of fresh ground Redmond’s Real Salt or Sea Salt
- This is an excellent source of Sodium & 90+ other trace minerals.

Take 1-2 times/day — an hour before or after food (usually around 10am and/or 2pm) The original source of this recipe was Susan Blackard, NP, ND, PhD at the Rejuvenation Health Center in Springfield, MO. The following alternatives were compiled by Valerie Engh.

Alternative #1

Replaces Cream of Tartar & Orange Juice with Coconut Water and Wholefood Vitamin C.

~8 oz. / 1 cup / 250 mL of Coconut Water
- You want to get enough Coconut Water to ensure you receive ~375mg of Potassium.
1/4 tsp of fresh ground Redmond’s Real Salt or Sea Salt
~60mg of Wholefood Vitamin C
- Use any of the recommended brands from the RCP Instruction Manual

Alternative #2

Uses water instead of Cream of Tartar, Orange Juice, or Coconut Water.

~1/4 tsp Potassium Bicarbonate Powder
- “Prescribed for Life” brand is recommended

~60mg of Wholefood Vitamin C
4 oz. of purified water
