subject: Pros And Cons Of Energy Vitamin Supplement [print this page] Due to our busy lifestyle, there is no bewilderment that some individuals find it very hard to keep up with the demand of their daily lives without getting tired. Because we need to work to maintain homes and lifestyles, frequent tiredness can be a big problem. Fatigue is most often a manifestation of hard work, but can also be pure sign of poor diet, lack of exercise and unhappy emotions - like unstable home, and hostile work environment.
In the worse way possible, using all these together could lead to tiredness, but also depression or anxiety. Using energy vitamin supplement could help. Energy dietary supplements provide the energy and nutrition that the body lacks but nevertheless needs to offset the fatigue it feels. If such nutrition cannot be naturally obtained in one's diet and habits, doctors may recommend the intake of energy dietary supplements. These should be either in pharmaceutical formulation used as drugs, mostly referred to as multivitamins or other types of herbal natural supplements for energy.
Multivitamins provide vitamins that are essential in one's diet; for example, energy-giving vitamins known as B-complex, calcium for strong bones, vitamin A for good eyesight, vitamin C for a strengthened immune system, iron for healthy blood circulation, etc. Another form is that of herbal preparation: extracts of herbs that possess high levels of vitamins are prepared for intake in capsule form. Examples of these herbs are gingko biloba, purported to enhance memory and concentration; deer velvet antler, said to have power to relieve inflammation and provide energy boost for athletes; ginseng which is traditionally used to treat diabetes and sexual impotence in men; royal jelly, known to lower cholesterol, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties, etc.
However, the efficacy of these herbs is still the subject of study; no satisfactory conclusion has been arrived at as of present. Though these energy dietary supplements are available for purchase in the market and are being forcefully marketed; it is probably hard to resist, however, it is still advisable to speak with your doctor first before using any supplement for energy. First of all, what one gains from these energy vitamin supplements are not that special, or anything that good diet, enough sleep and good exercise; and better outlook on life could not give or provide for us.
If one leads a healthy lifestyle, he or she will never be in need of these energy dietary supplements that are still fairly expensive. It is still much cheaper and more practical to exert effort to keep oneself healthy rather than depend on such supplements that do not promise or guarantee anything anyway.
