Energy Supplement FAQ

Q: What are energy supplements, and what can they do for you?

Energy supplements work with your body to optimize physical and cognitive energy by providing you with essential vitamins to boost your body’s natural energy production, as well as adaptogenic ingredients to help fight stress and fatigue.

B Vitamins facilitate the conversion of food into energy, and Vitamins B12, B6, and B5 also promote blood cell production, which helps provide sufficient oxygen to the cells. Adaptogenic ingredients increase stress endurance to reduce fatigue. Since stress can deplete your energy and tire you out, it is important to address it as one of the major causes of low energy levels.

Q: Do all energy supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often cheapen their pills by using excessive amounts of fillers that can block the desired effects of energy supplements.

Q: What should I look for?

• It should provide a full-spectrum Vitamin B complex.
• It should contain the methylated forms of Vitamin B12 and Folate for increased activity in the cells.
• It should contain adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms such as Reishi and Ashwagandha.
• It should contain Piperine (preferably as BioPerine^®) for increased absorption and faster results.
• It must be third-party tested to ensure purity.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between energy supplements and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition, take medications on a regular basis, are pregnant or nursing.

Q: How do I take energy supplements?

You should take either one or two capsules per day - depending on the instructions on the label. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while for others it may take slightly longer. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame. For example, Research Verified Energy Booster offers a 365-day money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the results you experience.

Q: How much do energy supplements cost?

The cost of energy supplements varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the diet/health trends. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
