Energy

This is the collection people reach for when they are running on empty. It covers B vitamins, iron, CoQ10, ginseng, maca and herbal tonics such as Bio-Strath, in tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, sachets and gummies, from HealthAid, Viridian, Solgar, Lamberts, Natures Aid and Quest.

Which nutrients are linked to energy?

A number of vitamins and minerals contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, which is the process by which the body releases energy from food. These include thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, biotin, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, copper, iodine, manganese, phosphorus and calcium.

A smaller group contributes specifically to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue: riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin C, magnesium and iron.

Is this the same as an energy boost?

No, and it is worth being clear about the difference. These nutrients are involved in how your body converts food into usable energy - they are not stimulants and they do not work like caffeine. If you are deficient in one of them, correcting that can make a real difference. If you are not, taking more will not create energy you did not have. Persistent tiredness has many possible causes and is worth discussing with your GP rather than self-treating.

Where do B vitamins fit in?

The B group is the most commonly bought part of this collection. A B complex supplies all eight together, which is how they occur in food and how most people prefer to take them. Individual Bs - most often B12 - suit people who know which one they are short of. B12 is worth particular attention if you follow a vegan diet, since it is found almost exclusively in animal foods.

What about iron?

Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is also the one nutrient here we would suggest not taking speculatively: too much iron is harmful, and low iron is straightforward for your GP to confirm with a blood test. Get tested first, then supplement if you need to.

What are the tonics?

Bio-Strath is the one we sell most of - a fermented herbal yeast preparation taken as a liquid or tablet, and one of the longest-established products in the shop. CoQ10 is a compound the body makes itself and which is also available as a supplement, most often in capsule or softgel form.

Which format?

Tablets and capsules make up most of the range, with powders, liquids, sachets and gummies alongside. Liquids and sprays suit anyone who struggles with tablets, and sachets are useful for travel. Whichever you choose, follow the directions on the pack and do not exceed the stated dose.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Bio-Strath is the outlier here and worth knowing about - a Swiss herbal yeast tonic that has been made the same way since the 1960s, and one of the few things in this category people come back for by name rather than by ingredient.

Solgar have been going since 1947, Viridian build without fillers or binders, and Lamberts supply the practitioner market. Biocare formulate in the UK alongside practitioners.

Persistent tiredness is worth a blood test before it is worth a supplement. Iron and B12 are the two that most often turn out to be genuinely low, and both are simple for a GP to check - guessing at iron is a bad idea, since too much causes its own problems.

If your diet is short rather than your bloods, a B-complex is the sensible starting point: it covers the group rather than betting on one.

B12 comes almost entirely from animal foods, so vegans and many vegetarians need a reliable source. Absorption also falls with age and with some medications, which is why higher-dose and sublingual forms exist.

Liquid and spray versions suit anyone who struggles with tablets or absorbs poorly. The form is on the pack - methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin are both widely used.

FAQ

Which B vitamin is for energy?

Several contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue - B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and folate among them. A B-complex covers the group, which is usually more sensible than picking one.

Should I take iron if I am tired?

Get a blood test first. Iron is a common cause of tiredness but too much iron causes its own problems, and your GP can settle it quickly.

Do B vitamins make urine bright yellow?

Yes - riboflavin (B2) is naturally fluorescent yellow and what you do not absorb is passed out. It is entirely harmless and not a sign of waste.

When should I take them?

Morning suits most people, and with food is gentler on the stomach. Some find B vitamins keep them awake if taken late in the day.
