Q: What’s the best vitamin for energy?

Regards,

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.
