Feeling exhausted? It may not just be the change of seasons

Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome

The adrenal glands are vital components of the endocrine system, and work in conjunction with the thyroid, pituitary glands, hypothalamus, pancreas, and reproductive organs to regulate cellular activity by producing and secreting hormones. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing corticosteroids, which regulate metabolism, the immune system, and sexual function; and catecholamine (adrenaline) that helps the body cope with physical and emotional stress by increasing heart rate and blood pressure.

Adrenal fatigue occurs when the body is under constant, overwhelming stress. This stress can be either physical or emotional, but is usually prolonged and intense. In an effort to reach homeostasis, the adrenal glands work overtime, firing on all cylinders and releasing hormones into the body. When the adrenal glands cannot catch up, they eventually shut down and adrenal exhaustion will take effect. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue/exhaustion are much more than the normal, day-to-day feeling of being run down.

People who struggle with adrenal fatigue often reach for synthetic stimulants (energy drinks, caffeine, etc.) to give them the boost needed to function in their day. This solution is actually counterproductive, much like trying to jump-start a car that has no battery. Nutritional experts recommend adaptogenic plants and herbs for a natural form of energy. Some of the most well-known adaptogenic herbs include multiple strands of ginseng (a key component in Dynamite’s Herbal Green™), astragalus, and ashwagandha (both found in Mega Botanicals™).

There are a few Dynamite products that can help get your body functioning at peak performance again. For immediate energy, incorporate Mega Botanicals into your daily routine. This green drink provides an all-natural, caffeine-free pick me up. In addition, the combination of its chlorophyll base, digestive enzymes, and immune boosting ingredients balance pH and provide long lasting health benefits. To begin healing the adrenals, a foundational daily supplement is a must, especially one that contains high quality B vitamins. DM Plus™, Dynamite’s daily foundational supplement, contains pure amino acid chelates, including co-enzyme B complex and the highest quality Vitamin E in the industry, as well as a myriad of additional vitamins and minerals. In addition, taking Dynamite’s Herbal Green daily can provide those all-important adaptogens to normalize and stabilize hormonal balance.

Maintaining a healthy weight plays a huge part in reducing the stress of your organs. Eating healthier and reducing inflammation not only relieves pressure on the organs, but also increases energy and assists the body in behaving normally, consistently. Dynamite’s 180™ homeopathic weight loss drops along with Dyna-Lite™ help assist the body in burning adipose fat, as well as bringing into alignment the communication of the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands. It supports hormonal balance, healthy libido, consistent sleep habits, and overall feeling of well-being, helping the endocrine system function with a higher degree of efficacy.

Understanding Body pH Leads to Super Greens Product from Dynamite Specialty Products

Balancing your body's pH level optimizes overall health and vitality. Dynamite's new Mega Botanicals "super food" is packed full of powerful ingredients that help balance the body's pH level, increase energy and provide long lasting health benefits.


The American diet and lifestyle has changed drastically over the past 200 years. A recent study conducted by Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology has found that the addition of refined oils, grains, and sugars in foods, as well as modern conveniences that allow for less physical activity, could pose serious health risks for Western society. The adoption of this diet and lifestyle plays a major factor in the prevalence of chronic, widespread disease such as, type II diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and heart disease.[1] More and more, people are beginning to understand the effects of their poor diet and lifestyle, and are looking for solutions to keep them healthier. Our body pH serves as a measuring stick to how well we are balanced.The human body can only function in a very narrow range of alkalinity. When body pH falls outside of this range, toward acidity, illness can occur. 

Just as every food has a caloric value and nutritional content, they also contain an intrinsic alkaline-forming or acid-forming trait. Callie Novak, CEO of Dynamite Specialty Products, says, “Generally speaking, plant tissues like vegetables and fruits are alkalizing foods, while heavily processed foods and cooked meats are acidifying.” When our body pH moves closer to acidity, strange things happen in our physiology to correct the imbalance, such as pulling minerals from important organs, inflammation and edema. Extended periods of imbalance can lead to very serious health problems.

Maintaining balance goes further than keeping a tab on what one consumes. Stress, illness, pain, anxiety, lack of sleep, and negative thoughts also contribute to the body’s acidity.  When we are under stress, we demand our cells to be more active. If proper nutrition isn’t in place, metabolism can further slow, energy production is disrupted, inflammation can occur, as well as many other affects that can lead to serious illnesses and diseases.  

Dr. Jennifer Judkins is an otolaryngologist whose primary focus is the treatment of diseases, allergies and related disorders of the ears nose and throat. She says, “Our bodies can deal with our acidic behavior when we are young, but if those habits don't change, we will eventually be unable to properly function metabolically. The result is diabetes, obesity, cancer, immune dysfunction (allergies/intolerances). I believe obesity is at least partially related to the body trying to dilute the acidity in our bodies, by expanding our volume.”

Americans are turning to products that will adjust their pH for better health. For example, newly released Mega Botanicals, made by Dynamite Specialty Products, contains six forms of organic and concentrated chlorophyll super greens, trace minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, medicinal mushrooms and more. Each ingredient plays a role in balancing pH. Novak added, “Mega Botanicals’ ingredients address pH through several avenues. We know it’s not that easy for people to take time from their busy lives to think about their body’s pH. If it was, Americans wouldn’t have so many health problems.”

Mega Botanicals Testimonials

What are People Saying about Mega Botanicals™?

Counts as a Fruit on the 180™ Protocol
My husband has tried many ‘green’ drinks…and all were gross tasting, but all assured us we were getting ‘the best nutrition possible.’ When Mega Botanicals came out we bought some. I was very impressed with the taste…yummy! Also, knowing the great nutrition I am getting in Dynamite products I know that I really am getting the best nutrition possible. The plus side for me is that I do not always have time to stop and eat a fruit, and since this counts as a fruit on the 180 plan, at only 36 calories, it is a win-win situation. I also appreciate that they are already measured out and pre-packaged so I do not have to search for a container to put it in, I can just throw it in my purse and grab it later and mix it up!

A Great-tasting Green Drink!
After trying numerous green drinks, like barley grass powder which was hard to keep down, I am so excited to have found a great tasting, refreshing, healthy pick-me-up drink that helps with so much more than just alkalizing! Thank you Dynamite–now spreading the word to all friends and family!


Nina Barnes, Distributor, Wisconsin


A Mega Botanicals Fan for Life!
I was doing really well on the 180. Lost 55 pounds over the past year–but I was really struggling with the last 10 pounds. Part of this was related to having carried this ‘original’ weight for decades. I knew it would take time to come off. I went into lock-in a few weeks ago, resigned to come back to the 180 in a few months to tackle the remaining weight loss. About the same time, I started the Mega Botanicals daily. A few days into this, I awoke sick. I worked through most of my day, came home, chugged the Mega Botanicals, went to bed and woke feeling 100%. I was amazed as my colleagues had assured me the flu would last 2 weeks.


After that day, I started replacing my morning cup of coffee with a hot cup of Mega Botanicals. Since then I have consistently lost 1-2 pounds a week without being on the 180 protocol. This morning I am within 1 pound of my goal! This stuff is amazing! I feel focused all day with no cravings or hunger...just a healthy satisfied sensation. I will drink Mega Botanicals every day for the rest of my life.

Mega Botanicals is a Staple for Us!
We have been a Dynamite family for almost 10 (gasp!) years now.  My husband and I completed the 180 program early in 2011 in preparation for a trip to Hawaii.  The most beneficial result was eliminating refined sugar and artificial sweeteners from our diet, and realizing how good one feels when eating real food!

Since then, we've adopted a MUCH healthier lifestyle, which now includes the Mega Botanicals.  When we first heard this product was coming out, we were so excited!  Here's a drink, filled with so much "goodness" it hardly fits on the label.

We lovingly refer to Mega Botanicals as our "Pond Water."   With the Dynamite shaker and our Mega Botanicals, it's a great conversation starter...which of course leads to rave reviews of Dynamite as a company and eventually comes back around to the "pond water" in our hands.  

The feeling we get from our Mega Botanicals - a natural energy boost, and reduced snack cravings in the afternoons - has made this YUMMY drink a daily staple in our house.  Mega Botanicals is our tasty "pond water" energy drink which costs less and has more benefits than the others out there. (Those popular energy drinks of today have always scared me...) Even our kids (now 14 and 12) love it!!

I'm so excited for my first Auto-shipment to arrive so I can share!!  This product is such an easy introduction to Dynamite....I sense it will be a big hit - it already is for us!

Re-used Mega Botanicals containers....cut the lids and glued for handles and the kids decorated them for their Easter baskets!
 -Rachel

I found it a handy container to store this years veggie seed packets, ID sticks, marker pen & my transplanting "spoon". -Pixie

An empty Mega Botanicals canister makes a great holder for a ball of yarn. The canister can be set down on the floor and yarn is pulled from the ball as one knits. It prevents the ball from rolling all over and works smoother than keeping the yarn in a knitting bag. It could be covered in a pretty paper but I actually like the simplicity of the natural cardboard. - Ashley

My son uses it to store his Star Wars guys.- Jim



















IDEAS:
I can make my container into a holder for my large paint brushes. I make horse hair wall hangings and paper mache moon wall hangings with beads. I'm currently using an old Dyna Hoof container.- Kat

I'd more than likely use it for our senior horses Free and Easy... or I'm liking the secret candy stash idea! ;) -Ashley


I use the container to store Rilo's canine cookies. All I have to do is shake the canister, it makes the perfect noise, and he comes running. - Melanie

I will use them to store necessities for traveling, especially in the trailer, for the horses and dogs - PERFECT for dog kibble eh? -Sandy


Cover with a pretty contact paper and use to corral all the mascara tubes and other cosmetic items that make a jumble in the bathroom drawer. -Judy

I use it to hold my Mega Botanicals... just kidding. It's the PERFECT play drum.- Callie

I think these containers would be perfect for storing dryer lint to be used for campfires! Hey don't judge, I have summer and camping on the brain! :) -Audrey 

Where to start!  I live in a travel trailer so space is limited.  It works beautifully to store all my different teas.  I can store the boxes of tea and just have a few of each in the container along with my wonderful MB's. 

I have a little freeze pack that fits on the bottom and can use the container for a little lunch box with a little protein and a piece of fruit and cheese or whatever.  Easy to throw in the truck and not have it crushed or torn into like a sack (as my pug dog likes to do)!

When traveling it works great to put little snack baggies of vitamins and minerals and PMS and whatever else I take along for supplements into.  I put tea bags and MB's in there and then put it in my bag.  Easy to open and again not crushed and easy to get to.  No pawing through a bag!   Everything is organized and easy to see! -Catherine S
