It's no secret that our bodies can sometimes conk out on us. From rigorous work schedules to non-stop home lives, our bodies often need a little extra push to keep us going. And while getting a boost of energy in the middle of a busy day has seemingly become easy to do, if that boost comes in the form of unhealthy products or habits, is it really worth it?
Sure, there are plenty of things on the market that can help you replace the energy you've lost, but choosing to utilize the ones that have a healthier impact on you will cause your body to show its appreciation. For me, it's important to know that what I'm putting in my body to help me when I'm not feeling 100 percent is the best that I could possibly have. And although I may make exceptions for other areas in my life, what I put into my body is not one of them.
If you happen to think the same about yourself or are starting to feel as if your other energy boosting measures still leave you feeling sluggish, here are three of my go-to products that help me to get energized in a safe and effective way. You can also catch my on-air presentation of them at WESH 2 News Orlando here.
1. UPTIME Energy Drinks ($2.99/single; $29.99/case)
Most energy drinks on the market are filled with additives that cause you to crash shortly after your boost of energy. With UPTIME Energy though, you’ll be able to get your boost of energy without the crash after!
Made without sodium, gluten, artificial coloring and GMO, this naturally caffeinated and flavored drink is exactly what you’ll want to supply the energy you need. And, they’ve just added a brand new Blood Orange flavor (both with and without sugar) to their roster! It’ll be available on April 8, 2019 exclusively at 7-Eleven for the first 90 days.

2. Tru Niagen ($40/bottle; subscription service available with discounts)
If you’re looking for an effective vitamin to add into your daily ritual, you’ll absolutely want to consider Tru Niagen.
Simple things in your life like aging and daily stressors such as work, finances, and home life can have a serious impact on your health all the way down to your cellular levels. Tru Niagen is a science-backed vitamin that boosts your energy on that level. And, it does so safely and effectively.

3. Wildcrafted ($35/jar; $95/trio)
Looking for something a little different from a vitamin or energy drink? Then you’ll want to become familiar with Wildcrafted. A line of adaptogens – natural supplements made from super herbs and wild mushrooms – that are proven to balance and normalize the body by combating stress, balancing hormones and lowering inflammation, this product will deliver you energy, clarity, focus and more. You’ll also be able to reduce fatigue and increase your metabolism as well as your stamina.
The best part? All you need is 1/4 of a teaspoon to stir into your food or drink of choice for the day!
