Supplements against fatigue
Anti-fatigue supplements can help with energy production by providing key nutrients your body needs. They support the production of ATP, the main energy source for your cells, and are beneficial for energy metabolism.
By supporting these processes, supplements can help you feel less tired.
Types of supplements for fatigue
Some supplements support energy production in your body, while others contribute to your overall energy levels and resistance to stress.
1. Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for the production of ATP , the energy source in your cells, and ensures that the enzymes that use ATP function properly. This allows your body to use the energy effectively.
Magnesium deficiency occurs in 1-2% of the Dutch population, especially among users of antacids and type 2 diabetes patients. (1)
2. B-complex
A B-complex consists of a combination of B vitamins, which help your body extract energy from your food. They also support the production of red blood cells , which are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout your body. This can help maintain your energy levels.
In addition, the B vitamins ensure that your metabolism functions properly, which means that your body can efficiently convert the nutrients from your food into energy.
3. Fiber/antioxidants
Fiber and antioxidants can support your gut flora . Healthy digestion is essential for extracting valuable nutrients from your food.
4. Multivitamins
When you don't get enough vitamins and minerals, processes like oxygen transport, energy production, and muscle function can be compromised. This can be a cause of fatigue.
By supplementing your diet with micronutrients , you prevent deficiencies, allowing your body to perform its functions better and you to feel more energetic and vital.

Tips to reduce fatigue
Do you (often) suffer from fatigue? Stress, insufficient sleep, or an unhealthy lifestyle could be the cause. Feeling tired not only affects your physical energy but also your mental sharpness and mood. It can significantly impact your daily life.
Fortunately, you can often improve your condition with a few simple steps. It's important to first understand the cause of your fatigue.
Try the following tips:
1. Sleep at least 7 hours per night
Not surprisingly, getting enough sleep is the absolute number one priority. I can't say how much "enough" is for you, as it varies from person to person. But 7 hours a night is the minimum. For everyone!
2. Indicate your boundaries clearly
Saying "no" is difficult. I'm not the only one who finds this difficult. Most people find it difficult to set boundaries. While occasionally doing so is perfectly fine, if you regularly exceed your body's energy requirements, your body will start to deplete your reserves.
Mindfulness exercises can help you become aware of the signals your body gives.
3. Varied food (all food groups)
The foundation of good natural energy is a varied diet. Try a new recipe and eat different colored fruits and vegetables every day. Each color provides different nutrients, so variety ensures a wider range of vitamins and minerals.
4. Don't take too much hay on your fork
Creating a realistic schedule. Easier said than done. But practice makes perfect. Discuss your schedule with your partner or a friend if you're already feeling overwhelmed by the end of the week. Perhaps you're expecting too much of yourself?
5. Schedule rest in your calendar
For busy bees, rest is often the last item on their schedule. Yet, scheduling rest periods is crucial for recharging their batteries.
