1| American
ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)>>
This herb contains ginsenosides, which are thought to fight fatigue
and stress. Recommended dose: 1–3 grams dried root
powder in capsule or tablet form daily, or 3–5 ml tincture
three times daily.
2| B
vitamins>>
Essential for energy production. Recommended dose: One or two B-vitamin capsules,
once a day with meals. B vitamins can be stimulating to some
people, so don't take this supplement at night.
3| Eleuthero
(Eleutherococcus senticosus)>>
Also called Siberian ginseng, this herb enhances mental acuity and
physical endurance. Recommended dose: 2–3 grams dried root
powder daily. Note: Eleuthero is typically taken for six to
eight weeks, followed by a one- to two-week break before
resuming.

(Rhodiola rosea)>>
This herb helps boost endurance and adrenal function. Recommended dose: 100–400 mg standardized
extract, twice daily. Note: American ginseng, eleuthero, and rhodiola
can be taken together, but many herbalistsrecommend starting with
one and then adding or switching to another if the desired results
are not being achieved. Always consult with a health care
practitioner before taking any supplements.
