With summer well on its way, we all want to have as much energy as possible. There are lots of ways we can often find ourselves feeling fatigued, getting an afternoon slump or struggling to wake up in the morning. There will be a number of reasons that can cause this which include lack of sleep, nutrition and stress.

Not having enough vitamins and minerals can affect our energy levels significantly. With that in mind, it can also be a challenge to understand which vitamins and minerals we can most benefit from.

As part of our Vitality and Wellness capsules, we felt that it was important to include ingredients that help with energy levels as well as other key menopausal and women’s health concerns.

Vitamin B12

This vitamin can help reduce tiredness by helping to keep your body’s blood cells healthy.

Folic Acid

You may or may not be aware of an iron deficiency which can cause extreme fatigue. Our capsules include folic acid to help with this.

Lycium Babarum

This traditional Chinese medicine can also help with energy levels.

Our busy schedules can mean that our energy levels sometimes drop throughout the day. In addition to our Vitality and Wellness capsules you can follow these useful caffeine-free tips >

• Snacks: Foods with a low sugar index are absorbed more slowly which won’t lead to a sudden drop in energy.
• Eat well and regularly: Eating healthy meals and snacks throughout the day can help keep blood sugar levels steady.
• Exercise: Even just a quick walk can help you re-energise
• Stay hydrated: Fatigue can be a common sign of dehydration so be sure to drink often.
