I take a timed release B complex tablet when Im pooped out or under stress and it really does the trick for me!  If you need a little pick me up during the day, I like to keep a few Luna bars around, they help as well!

Yes, it does help produce energy.  Other benefits are:\n\nStrengthens nervous system\nMetabolism of fats, carbohydrates, & protein\nHealthy skin, hair, hormones\nSynthesis of DNA and new cells.\nHeathy cardiovascular system\nLowers homocysteine levels in blood\nFolic acid reduces risk of neural tube birth defects\n\nIt's depleted by stress, medications, sugar, and caffeine\n\nI feel it was significant in eliminating my daily headaches.\n\nHope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions and if you wish to know the brand I take.

Try either of these:  Ginko Biloba (an herb), Choline (a nutrient), L-Glutamine (an amino acid).\n\nI take Ginko Biloba regularly, and it boosts you alertness and your mental agility.  You can buy it, or any of the others, at a health food store, or even at Walgreens, in the vitamin section.

Vitamins do not give you energy and provided you eat a good balanced diet you should not need them.\nCarbohydrates give you energy.  Eat low GI foods (Google GI Diet by Rick Gallup) for a list of low GI foods which will give you sustained energy throughout the day, not just quicks highs and then rebound lows.

YES! Consuming a raw-food diet will give you all the energy you need!  As well as curing any other maladies you may have. There are alot of good books to get you started; the best one I've found so far is, "Living on Live Food" by Alissa Cohen (www.alissacohen.com). Search, "eat raw food" on Google to find more resources.  And DON'T take the advice about the energy drinks - as you probably know, sugar is an energy-sapper.  Avoid caffeine, too.  \n\nTo start, try investing in a cheapo juicer ($30 or so) from Wal-Mart.  When I need a pick-me-up, I juice some organic spinach, a zuchinni or two, and a bunch of apples, then drink that concoction chilled.  It's green but tastes like the best apple juice you've ever had, and it will really get you going, plus it's really healthy!\n\nKudos to you for having 8 kids - I only have 2 so far, but I HOPE I have 8 someday!   :o)\n\n-  Lauren

I don't know which one you are looking at, but Natures Sunshine is an excellent place to get supplements.

if u have this workload on you, you can try this: a herbal tee from south america called mate or yerba mate. it has just little caffeine but plenty of other nutrients that really complement the stimulation effect of caffeine. it will give u more stamina than coffee and, unlike coffee, it is absolutely harmless, it is healthy in fact, u can drink it all day, just do not drink it right before going to sleep \n\ni used to drink lots of it instead of coffee, when i realized that i simply cannot continue drinking so much coffee.\n\n  or try Korean ginseng - eleuterococus (i used it when i was writing my thesis and had little sleep and much work) or leuzea=rhaponticum= maral root (i take this one or eleuterococus to combat severe jet lag when the necessity arises - they wake me up, so i am active when i am supposed to be, so i get myself tired and then in the evening i can fall asleep more easily than if i spent the whole day trying to keep my eyes open! . so i think it is equally good for shiftworkers or the situation u described)\n\nBUT: dont take it before u go to sleep, it is imperative thet u sleep well since u dont have much time for that...

Here is the best I can do for you:\n\nPlease evaluate all of your options before turning to cosmic energy for health benefits. :)

Cinnamon is a great booster. A teaspoon in your morning coffee works wonders. \n\nGreen tea has other benefits than as a booster - keep drinking it. BUT, as with all herbal regimens, take time off from it every couple of weeks UNLESS ordered otherwise by a Dr.

To stay away from enervating and ultimately self-defeating stimulant alkaloids like caffeine and ephedrine, try using l-carnitine and coq10 - 2 fat burners that help produce energy at the same time.

Many good supplements are out there, NORWEGIAN Cod Liver Oil is good (take the capsule form), Garlic & Onions also are good for it.

Melaleuca makes a product called the Access bar. If you eat one it causes you to burn fat instead of carbs during your exercise session. Gives you more energy during exercise.\n\nB-vitamins before you exercise are also good for endurance. Energy drinks like Monster and XS will give you a quick pick me up. Wouldn't make a habit of those though.\n\nAlso, look up a product called Adaptogen on Bob Marshall's website www.healthline.cc .

Try taking a multi-vitamin and B-6.  It really helps me get a little more energy throughout the day.  Also, for your back, try swimming.  Good luck!

The source of energy is food. Food is digested, giving you energy.

Omega oils found in oily fish or capsule form are the best source of vitamins that will help with energy and concentration levels (basically good stuff for the brain!).\nGinko as a herbal remedy for tiredness although it does take a few days to kick in.\nIf you suspect mood problems may be hormonal try evening primrose and/or starflower oil.\nFor immediate effect you could try burning some reputable essential oils, the citrus type are excellent for increasing alertness. \nAbove all keep smiling, it releases your bodies own natural "happy hormone" seretonin, every time you do!!
