Adrenaline and the Vegetarian Diet
Adrenaline, or epinephrine, is a hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in the body's fight-or-flight response. Medically, it is used in emergency situations to treat anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, and severe asthma attacks. Adrenaline can be sourced from both animal glands and synthetic production. Synthetic adrenaline is chemically identical to its natural counterpart, providing the same physiological effects.
