Spotlight on Energy & Focus

Sometimes we all need a little lift, whether to support us through a stressful time at work, exam season or as a pick me up after a hectic festive season. If you are feeling tired and run down or just need extra support, there are natural ways you can help increase energy.

To optimise your energy levels make sure you eat a wide variety of plants such as dark green vegetables that are high in the B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. 

Help balance blood sugar levels by ensuring your meals and snacks contain a balance of protein, fibre, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Adding protein and fats to a carbohydrate heavy meal slows down the release of glucose into the blood stream giving you a more even supply of energy throughout the day. Nuts and seeds are great sources of protein, fibre and fats and great to snack on.

For energy promoting restorative sleep, limit caffeine to the morning to allow it to clear the system and not interfere with nodding off.

If you do find yourself reaching for an afternoon caffeine fix or needing a sugary snack to give you a boost, our Energy and Focus could be the supplement for you, loved by students, busy parents, long commuters and those working from home. 

Simply drop one tablet into a glass of water to make a refreshing lemon and lime flavoured drink. Benefits include:

  • Caffeine/sugar free formula provides brain supporting nutrients
  • Contains nutrients to aid acetylcholine production - an important neurotransmitter 
  • Good levels of all-important B vitamins to support both energy production and the nervous system. Including vitamin B5 to support normal mental performance
  • Sweetened with stevia and sorbitol
  • Vegan friendly formula
  • Recently reformulated, we’ve swapped theanine for taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid found in high concentrations in the brain and muscles.

Top tip: pop a tube in your bag so it’s handy when you feel you need it most!
