Do you have low energy? If you do, you’re not alone. It’s something that affects countless people, even those who profess to live a healthy lifestyle.
There are many causes of low energy. In fact, there are so many, that running through them here would be impossible. Fortunately you don’t have to know all the reasons behind your general sense of malaise. All you need to know is which supplements will fix it.
That’s precisely the question we’ll be exploring in this post. Here are some supplements to get you going and feel the buzz.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is something of a miracle herb. Not only does it help regulate your emotions, control blood pressure and make you live longer, it significantly increases your energy levels, too. People who take the powdered root appear to have better scores on concentration and energy levels. They feel less anxious and fatigued in daily life. Interestingly, elite cyclists who took the herb could cycle around 7 percent longer than those who didn’t.
Creatine
Creatine is something that bodybuilders have been using for years to bulk up. But that shouldn’t turn you off from taking it. That’s because the compound is good for general health. In fact, a lot of people in the longevity community take it for its positive impact on energy levels overall.
Creatine is part of ATP metabolism, the molecule in the body that gives all cells energy. In some people, creatine levels can fall, leading to feelings of fatigue, particularly after exercise. However, once people add creatine to their supplement stack, they feel they push harder and further, both in the gym and in life in general.
Melatonin
Melatonin is the sleep hormone, so it might seem a little odd to include it in this list. However, the compound is essential for regulating your body clock and ensuring that you get enough sleep.
Insomnia affects around 30 percent of adults around the world. Taking melatonin can help improve sleep quality and reduce fatigue the following day. Many people who take the compound report better concentration, a restful sleep, and more energy in general. Other benefits may include reduced risk of neurological conditions.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is another essential nutrient that boosts energy levels. If you don’t have enough in your body, you may feel tired and eventually that can lead to serious health conditions.
Like Delta 8 Gummies, B12 interacts with your body’s nerves and changes how they operate. The essential vitamin is found in meat, fish, and dairy products, as well as fortified foods. However, vegans eating strictly plant-based diets (with no processed foods) may develop a deficiency.
Because of this, it’s essential to supplement with a high-dose of vitamin B12. Many people who take it supplement with 20,000 percent of the RDA or more. This amount helps to stave off deficiency and ensures that you get enough to be healthy.
You may require more B12 than other people if you have GI disorders or you are an older adult.
