Boost your energy naturally: 3 non-stimulant ingredients
Are you tired of feeling drained and sluggish but don’t want the jittery, anxious feeling associated with stimulants? We’ve got you covered!
These three non-stimulant ingredients can help boost your energy levels without leaving you overly stimulated. We’re talking about… alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), nicotinamide riboside (NR), and B vitamins.
1. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG)
Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a key player in the Krebs cycle, which is crucial for energy production in cells. AKG supports mitochondrial function, enhancing the production of ATP, cells’ energy currency.
Studies have shown that AKG supplementation can improve physical performance and reduce fatigue. In one study, participants who took AKG experienced increased endurance and less muscle fatigue during exercise. Another study found that AKG helped improve muscle recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
2. Nicotinamide riboside (NR)
Nicotinamide riboside, a form of Vitamin B3, is a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a molecule essential for energy production and cellular repair. As we age, NAD+ levels decline, leading to decreased energy and increased fatigue. Preclinical studies have shown that supplementing with NR can improve skeletal and cardiovascular health as well as physical performance by boosting NAD+ levels in cells.
3. B vitamins
B vitamins, including B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin), play a vital role in energy metabolism. They help convert the food you eat into usable energy and support the function of your nervous system.
Countless studies have highlighted the importance of B vitamins in energy production and overall health. For instance, research shows that vitamin B12 is crucial for preventing anemia and maintaining energy levels, while vitamin B6 supports neurotransmitter function, helping to reduce fatigue and improve mood. See some specific studies linked at the end of this article! ⬇️
Why choose non-stimulant energy boosters?
Unlike stimulants, which can ctause jitters, crashes, and dependency, these non-stimulant ingredients work with your body’s natural processes to enhance energy production and overall well-being.
