Lime & Coconut Adrenal Cocktail
Mineral Depletion Might Be the Root of Your Hormone Struggles
If you're constantly tired, bloated, crampy, or feel like your energy crashes before lunch — your hormones may not be the problem. Your minerals might be.
Magnesium, potassium, sodium, and vitamin C are crucial for hormone production and blood sugar regulation. But stress, poor sleep, processed foods, and even intense workouts can drain these stores faster than you can replenish them — especially during your period or pregnancy.
That’s where adrenal cocktails come in.
Lime & Coconut Adrenal Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup organic coconut water – high in potassium and natural electrolytes
¼ tsp Redmond Real Salt or Celtic Sea Salt – replenishes sodium and trace minerals for adrenal support
Juice of ½ fresh lime (or lemon) – provides whole-food vitamin C and supports liver and hormone health
Why an Adrenal Cocktail?
An adrenal cocktail is a mineral-rich drink designed to support your adrenal glands, the part of your endocrine system that helps regulate cortisol, aldosterone, blood pressure, and stress resilience. When you’re stressed, mineral loss goes up. This simple drink helps restore that balance — gently, without stimulants or blood sugar crashes.
How to Make It
Stir all ingredients together in a glass.
Add ice or drink at room temperature.
Sip slowly mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
Why This Drink Supports Hormone Health
Coconut water is rich in potassium, which supports fluid balance, nervous system regulation, and energy production at a cellular level.
Sea salt helps restore sodium levels, which are often depleted by chronic stress or sweating. It also supports aldosterone, a hormone that helps regulate hydration and mineral retention.
Lime or lemon juice provides vitamin C which is an antioxidant essential for progesterone production and collagen synthesis. It also supports gentle liver detox, which is key for hormone balance.
When to Drink It
Mid-morning or mid-afternoon, especially if you're feeling lightheaded or fatigued
During your luteal phase (the week before your period) to help stabilize blood sugar and mood
If you're pregnant, to naturally support hydration and reduce swelling or cramping
Post-exercise or after sauna for electrolyte recovery
Pregnancy & Period Support
This combo is especially helpful during pregnancy when blood volume increases and your body’s demand for electrolytes, vitamin C, and trace minerals goes up significantly. It’s also gentle enough for those dealing with period-related fatigue, PMS, or hormonal headaches which is giving your body the tools it needs to regulate naturally.
Simple Variations
Add 1 tbsp collagen powder for extra protein support
Muddle in fresh mint or basil for a refreshing twist
Use sparkling mineral water in place of some coconut water for a fizzy version
