Stressed and tired
Reliance on caffeine and sugar combined with stress creates a rollercoaster ride for the emotions and energy levels. If you are feeling stressed and tired, the adrenal glands and thyroid gland need support.
If you find yourself consistently tired, have your iron levels and thyroid function checked by your doctor.
Recommended nutrients:
• Magnesium, B Vitamins, and Vitamin C for stress support and energy production.
• CoQ10 helps to combat fatigue as it is used by the cells of the body for energy production.
• Maca otherwise known as “Peruvian ginseng” helps the body to adapt to stress, and increases energy levels and stamina.
