Time for a supplement regimen checkup.

As we said in Wednesday’s post, if you use supplements at all, you probably use more than one.  Your supplement regimen is the group of supplements you’re currently using.  And as important as nutrition and health are, your regimen really deserves to regarded as more than just a few bottles on a cabinet shelf.  Every regimen represents a substantial investment of money at the least and often a last-best attempt to get a particular health problem under control before resorting to drug or surgical options. So in the interest of getting the best results for your money, time and health, it’s good to periodically audit your supplement regimen, making sure you’re taking the right things, the right way, at the right time, and are able to do so on an ongoing basis.

Q: What’s the best vitamin for energy?

A: For most people, a good B complex vitamin helps increase their sense of mental and physical energy although the effects are subtler than stimulants like caffeine.  Remember to always take your B complex with solid food - if you have to skip breakfast, skip the B complex until you can take it with some food or you won’t absorb it and it may upset your stomach.

If you need more of a stimulant kick, and don’t mind some caffeine, you can’t go wrong with the little 5-Hour Energy Drinks.  They’ve already got the B vitamins built-in to the formula. Plus, they contain the right amino acids (phenylalanine, taurine, tyrosine) to help your brain respond to the caffeine and B-vitamins.  So the 5-Hour Drinks are able to give you a nice physical and mental energy boost without being over-the-top. No post-boost sugar or caffeine crash, either.

We'll keep it simple. Want more energy? Try these.
