Don’t rely on that morning cup of coffee (or two or three) to give you a lasting boost in energy.

Yes, the caffeine will stimulate you for as long as it lasts, but once it is gone, the heightened energy boost is gone too and you are back to where you started.

To have a constant source of energy, you need sleep, exercise and eating natural, and preferably, organic food.

For times where you feel you need a boost in energy, the right supplements can help do it safely.

1) Vitamin B12

To boost your metabolism, B12 of this complex is required, however, it is not made in the body so you must either get it from food or supplementation.

Good food sources include clams, mussels, red meat and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is safe with no ill side-effects known.

2) Melatonin

Some people suffer from sleep loss due to their pineal gland not making enough melatonin. Not only will they feel sleep deprived, but it affects their blood sugar level, energy level and can lead to weight gain.

3) Ginkgo Biloba

This natural supplement is a powerful antioxidant that helps improves blood flow.

An increase in blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients are getting to the cells where energy is made.

The antioxidant can help reduce inflammation.

4) CoQ10

Cells use CoQ10 in energy creation.

It assists in cellular metabolism by neutralizing free radicals that can interfere with cellular energy production.

Inadequate amounts can lead to fatigue, high blood pressure and a blood sugar imbalance.

5) Acetyl-L-carnitine

This biochemical is another one that is responsible for transmitting nutrients across cell walls.

In this case, it is fatty acids which the mitochondria uses in energy production.

While the body does create this biochemical, additional supplementation can make up a deficiency if one exists.

6) Ginseng

This herb is an adaptogen that helps reduce the effects of stress, anxiety and physical exertion.

In a controlled study, participants with chronic fatigue experienced an increase in energy in comparison to the control group not taking it.

7) Iron

This mineral is another one responsible for going across cellular walls. In this case it passes oxygen into the cells and helps increase metabolic function.

For those wanting to build more lean muscle, it helps with muscle tissue development and physical performance.

This one made the list because iron deficiency is very common. If you feel sluggish and unmotivated, deficiency in this mineral could be the culprit.

While eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep is always the preferred method for creating energy, nutrient deficiencies can be made up through supplementation to restore balance, boost energy and eliminate fatigue.
