Most people instinctively reach for a cup of brew for that jolt of energy to start the day. In fact, about 66 percent of US adults have reported that they drink coffee every day. That equals roughly 517 million cups each day! And why not? It’s easy to drink a cup of coffee for a quick pick-me-up in the morning, especially with all of the single cup brewing machines that are currently available.
However, the energy boost provided by coffee does not last all day. People often describe the “crash” in energy that they feel when the caffeine boost wears off. Additionally, excessive consumption of caffeine often leads to a wide range of symptoms and health conditions that can have a negative impact on whole body health. Fortunately, nature provides a wealth of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that possess the ability to promote optimal levels of energy throughout the day. To help make sure that people can provide their bodies with a natural energy boost, the nutraceutical industry has developed a variety of professional grade products that are packed with these supportive nutrients.
What Is the Problem with Caffeine?
While caffeine can provide an energy boost that lasts for 5 hours on average, many people will often experience a caffeine “crash” once the effects wear off. The most noticeable effects of this crash are fatigue and difficulties with focusing, and these effects tend to be more intense when higher amounts of caffeine are consumed. Therefore, the energy boost provided by caffeine can be a double-edged sword.
To make matters worse, the excessive consumption of caffeine can also lead to a wide range of symptoms that include:
- Irritability
- Sleep loss
- Elevated heartbeat
- Headache
- Muscle tremors
- Nervousness
- Frequent urination
Try These Natural Alternatives Instead!
The human body often uses the assistance of nutrients to support optimal energy production. While most of these nutrients can be obtained from dietary sources, it can be challenging to eat all of the various foods that can provide these nutrients on a regular basis. That’s where professional grade nutraceutical products can help!
B Complex Vitamins
The Vitamin B Complex is a classification that encapsulates eight B vitamins that support a wide range of functions and processes essential to comprehensive wellness, particularly the conversion of food into energy. Although all eight B vitamins have been recognized for their ability to support optimal energy production, they do so through different avenues.
For example, vitamin B1 (thiamin) is known for turning ingested food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a rich source of energy for the body’s cells.
Meanwhile, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is required to help the body produce a coenzyme known as coenzyme A that helps the body break down fatty acids.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) plays a crucial role in providing energy, as it is required by the body for red blood cell production. Red blood cells are critical for carrying oxygen from the lungs throughout all parts of the body.
The different vitamins of the B Complex come from their own unique variety of food sources. While this makes it easy for people to get some B vitamins on a regular basis, these varied food sources also make it more difficult for people to regularly obtain all B vitamins.
Products like B Complex from EVEXIAS Health Solutions have been designed to provide the human body with the full range of B vitamins for the support of optimal energy production and other facets of comprehensive wellness. This professional grade nutraceutical can help fill in the gaps if there is a deficiency of any B vitamin.
Iron
Iron is a mineral that the body needs to produce hemoglobin, which is a protein and the component in red blood cells that is responsible for carrying oxygen to the muscles, brain and other parts of the body. Iron exists in two forms: heme and non-heme.
Non-heme iron can be obtained from plant sources like vegetables, fortified grains, beans and soy. Unfortunately, non-heme iron is known for lacking in bioavailability (absorbability), so the body will often struggle to absorb it into the bloodstream after ingestion.
Heme iron comes from animal sources like red meat and seafood. While this form of iron is more readily bioavailable than non-heme, the body still often needs other nutrients like vitamin C to absorb it effectively into the bloodstream.
Anemia describes a condition in the body marked by consistently low levels of iron, and fatigue is one of the most noticeable symptoms. People who find themselves suffering from anemia often turn to nutraceuticals to provide their bodies with sufficient levels of iron. Iron Bis-Glycinate from EVEXIAS Health Solutions has been developed with a chelated form of iron that is known for being more readily bioavailable than standard forms of iron. This product also contains vitamins B12 and C, both of which can influence healthy energy production.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is a catalyst for hundreds of chemical reactions in the human body. Being responsible for so many different chemical reactions allow for magnesium to support a wide range of processes and functions that contribute to whole body health, including cardiovascular function, inflammatory response, cognitive function and energy production. While vitamin B1 converts food into ATP, magnesium is needed by the body in order to activate it.
Magnesium can also come in many forms, because various organic chemical compounds will attach themselves to this vital nutrient. Each of these forms have the potential to support comprehensive wellness in their own unique way, and the attached chemical compounds are known to enhance bioavailability. Magnesium malate, for example, is a chelated form of magnesium with malic acid attached to it. This form of magnesium has been recognized for its ability to support optimal energy production, mood, oxygen absorption and gastrointestinal function. Complete Mag from EVEXIAS Health Solutions combines magnesium malate with magnesium glycinate and magnesium taurate to support multiple aspects of whole body health, including optimal energy production, cardiovascular function, bone density and nervous system function.
