Any Suggestions For A Energy Boost. Something Other Than Caffeine.

[Jayson]

I'm looking to find something to take other than caffeine to get through the day. I'm always so exhausted and caffeine barely gets me by but it never last long. I'm wondering if anyone on here tried anything that worked well for them other than a really strict diet. I'll try anything. Thanks in advance!

Welcome, Jayson.  Are you Celiac?  Anyways, if you find caffeine to be too short acting, another thing that can help with energy is a B vitamin complex.  Look for one that says "flush free" because when you first absorb niacin (one of the B vitamins) you can get jitters and skin flushes from it.

Fennel gives me energy when I eat it.  Fennel is a vegetable bulb that you can find in the produce section.  There is also fennel seed in the spice department.  I have made fennel cookies with it.  It has a light licorice taste.  I would be cautious in regular use of fennel, because I think that it has natural occurring steroids.

 

Salmon gives me energy.  At least it use to when I was ill.

Cordyceps.  It is traditional Chinese medicine and I was skeptical when someone suggested it to me, but boy was I wrong.  It does take a couple weeks to kick in.  I have been so fatigued and feeling like I was dragging around a boulder since I had really bad bronchitis last December.  I've been taking Cordyceps for 3 weeks and the change is impressive.
