The Best Energy Supplements – Vitamins and Minerals
Interested in what the ingredients are in our energy supplement patches? Take a look at the included vitamins and nutrients in our patches below.
Vitamin B1 (Focus Plus, B12 Energy, Endurance Max Plus)
Also known as thiamine, vitamin B1 helps the body turn food into energy by making adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which transports that energy within cells. Thiamine deficiency can cause anything from slight sluggishness to extreme exhaustion. Supplementing with thiamine has been shown to be highly effective at improving energy levels and reducing fatigue. (1, 2, 3, 4)
Vitamin B2 (Focus Plus, B12 Energy, Endurance Max Plus)
Also known as riboflavin, vitamin B2 acts as an antioxidant in the body as well as helping the body to turn food into energy. Riboflavin deficiency impairs the body’s ability to produce energy from food and can contribute to fatigue, anemia, and low metabolism. Vitamin B2 is necessary for the proper function of the thyroid and adrenal glands, which are crucial for regulating your metabolism and energy levels.
Vitamin B3 (Focus Plus, B12 Energy, Endurance Max Plus)
Also known as niacin, vitamin B3 plays an important role in regulating metabolism and cellular repair. Niacin deficiency can cause fatigue and exhaustion. (5)
