What Herbs will Boost Energy?

Updated on September 26, 2015

Naturally Increase Energy

If you're not a big fan of drinking energy drinks like Red Bull or Monster energy drinks and you don't want to take a caffeine pill like Vivarin or No-Doz, then your may want to consider adding a daily supplement to your diet.

Although, by taking a supplement you won't be able to have the sudden burst of energy that you may be used to by drinking an energy drink, but you'll have a more constant level of energy.

There are many safe supplements and herbs that you can take to help increase your energy levels. You may want to consult your doctor if you are already taking any medications or vitamins. In some cases, although they may be natural and safe, there can be drug interactions.

Also, keep in mind that when taking a daily supplement, you want to give it a good 6 weeks before making your decision as to whether or not you're experiencing any changes or differences.

Choosing a Supplement to Increase Your Energy

Because there are different options to choose from, you may want to do a little research to decide which energy supplement you want to take.

First off, keep in mind that the B-complex vitamins are known to help regulate energy levels, so by adding a simple daily vitamin that contains the B vitamins, may be all that you need. If you're already taking a multi-vitamin, you may want to consult your physician to see if a B-12 or other B vitamin can be added.

Because the body gets its energy from the foods that you eat, it is important that your digestive system is running and regulating properly. When your digestive tract is working at full capacity, you can optimize the energy that is released into your body.

Ginger and tumeric are two digestive herbs that will help stimulate flow to the digestive organs, as well as aid the overall digestive process.

Tumeric is an herb that will actually help detoxify the body and protect the liver, which is one of the major organs in the digestive tract.
