Fatigue & Energy

Fatigue is a term used to describe an overall feeling of tiredness or lack of energy. It isn’t the same as simply feeling drowsy or sleepy. When you’re fatigued, you have no motivation and no energy. Being sleepy may be a symptom of fatigue, but it’s not the same thing.

Fatigue is a common symptom of many medical conditions that range in severity from mild to serious. It’s also a natural result of some lifestyle choices, such as lack of exercise or poor diet.

If your fatigue doesn’t resolve with proper rest and nutrition, or you suspect it’s caused by an underlying physical or mental health condition, see your doctor.

Eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep are the best ways to maintain your natural energy levels.

But these things are not always possible, especially when balancing the demands of life.

Fortunately, there are many supplements you can turn to for an energy boost

Supplements to Boost Energy

1. Vitamin B12
Along with the other B vitamins, vitamin B12 helps transform the food you eat into energy that your cells can use.

It also keeps your body’s nerves and blood cells healthy and helps prevent a type of anemia that can make you weak and tired

Vitamin B12 plays an important role in energy production. Aging, eliminating animal products from your diet and diseases affecting the GI tract can all contribute to low levels of B12 and result in fatigue and weakness.

2.  Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is thought to increase energy by enhancing your body’s resilience to physical and mental stress.

In one study, people given ashwagandha showed significant improvements in several measures of stress and anxiety, compared to those given a placebo. They also had 28% lower levels of cortisol, a hormone that increases in response to stress.

Strengthening these findings was a review of five studies examining the effects of ashwagandha on anxiety and stress .

In addition to improving mental fatigue and stress, research also suggests ashwagandha can alleviate fatigue associated with exercise.

3. Iron
The body needs iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from your lungs to the organs and tissues throughout your body.

Without adequate levels of iron, your red blood cells cannot effectively carry oxygen to the body’s tissues.

This results in iron deficiency anemia, which may leave you feeling fatigued and weak

4. CoQ10
CoQ10 is a nutrient that your body’s cells require to produce energy. Aging, certain diseases and statin treatment are associated with low levels of CoQ10, which may increase feelings of fatigue. CoQ10 supplements may help correct this.
