Need a healthy energy boost?

Here in New Zealand, we are beyond passionate about our coffee. 

If we had a dollar for every time we’ve heard the phrase “I haven’t had my morning coffee yet” uttered by a groggy looking colleague… Well, let’s just say we certainly wouldn’t be sitting here writing this article!

In the busy modern world we live in, tiredness has become an accepted norm, and coffee is hailed as our savior. But what if your morning coffee has multiplied to two, three or more a day? What if you don’t tolerate caffeine well, and notice jitters, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, trouble sleeping or energy crashes? Or what if you simply don’t like coffee?

Try one of these caffeine-free, natural energy boosts to help you carpe that diem. 

Panax ginseng

Haven’t heard of Panax ginseng before? You can thank us later for the introduction. 

This is the type of ginseng in Eve Morning Person, and 200mg of this powerful herb delivers an immediate, smooth energy boost. It feels more like a sense of clarity and purpose than the heart-pounding buildup of restlessness that caffeine can sometimes deliver. 

Panax ginseng is also well known for its ability to support mental clarity, oxidative stress, immunity, and brain function. Get ready to show that to-do list who’s boss.

B-Vitamins

B-Vitamins are one of the MVPs of energy production.  This is because they help to convert the food you eat into fuel (i.e., your metabolism). They also help to create new blood cells to move oxygen around the body, keeping your brain and skin fresh and clear.

Some key Bs to look out for are B12, B2, B6 and B9 (also known as folate). 

Pretty much every cell in our bodies needs B12 to function optimally. Therefore, needless to say, when we don’t have enough, we can feel tired or lethargic. The adrenal glands use vitamin B2 - also known as riboflavin - to help with for energy and sex hormone production, and there’s great research to show that vitamin B6 supports mood, brain health and PMS, all of which are common culprits when fatigue hits.

Finally, vitamin B9, or folate, helps the body process fats and carbohydrates. When we don’t have enough B9, we can feel weak, tired, irritable, and experience headaches and brain fog.

Rhodiola rosea

If you’re the kind of person who wakes up tired even after a good night's sleep, or if you feel like you’re in a downward energy spiral that you can’t escape from, rhodiola rosea could just be your new BFF.  Adaptogens, like rhodiola, help the body deal with the stress we face day to day, and to stay stable. Rhodiola in particular supports your inner batteries to recharge and stay charged. 

When we’re leading high-pressure lives and not nourishing our stress response, we can start to venture towards burnout, anxiety, poor exercise performance, and lack of vitality. Alongside meditation, deep breathing and restorative exercise, rhodiola rosea is a great way to get back on top. 

Eve Morning Person contains a blend of all of these caffeine alternatives, rolled into one killer energy-boosting combo.
