Maximize Your Nutrient Intake
To remain energized and balanced throughout the winter, it is essential to maintain your vitamin and mineral intake, regardless of whether you are working from home, commuting in the dark, or juggling busy schedules. To produce energy, your body requires the appropriate building blocks. During winter, you may want to give extra attention to nutrients that support metabolism, stress response, and nervous system function. If you eat a 100% organic, whole, natural, good quality food diet, it can be a very good source of vitamins and minerals—but if you’re like most of us, you’ll need to supplement daily to get everything you need each day. Think about including these important nutrients:
Build Lasting Energy with a Slow Release B Complex
The B vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 (folate), and B12 are necessary for converting food into usable energy, supporting the production of neurotransmitters, maintaining brain health, and improving cognitive function. Making sure your diet includes a full spectrum of B vitamins can help keep your energy production humming, in turn avoiding B vitamin-deficiency related problems, like persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood and muscle weakness.
We need to replenish B vitamins daily because the body has no way to store them (with the exception of vitamin B12). They’re also easily depleted by stress, diuretics like caffeine and alcohol, as well as certain medications. A slow-release B complex like Pure Lab’s Slow Release BioActive B Complex goes beyond an ordinary B Complex. The benefits of this slow-release formulation last twice as long as those of standard B complex formulations. Plus, it consists of fully activated B vitamins, which mean no further conversions are needed before your body can experience their energy-lifting benefits. Take one capsule with your breakfast and/or lunch. And don’t panic when you see your urine turn neon yellow, for up to 5 hours—it’s evidence that your B vitamins are all topped up.
Support Your Thyroid, Ignite Your Energy
The thyroid acts as the body’s internal metabolic thermostat, producing hormones that regulate how efficiently we convert nutrients into energy. When thyroid function is impaired by nutrient imbalances or dysfunctional immunity, it can make us feel unmotivated, foggy, low and heavy. The thyroid helps maintain a steady metabolism, clear thinking, and stable mood when it is healthy. Even if you don’t have a thyroid disorder, supplementing your thyroid with the right nutrients can help you feel more motivated and energetic every day.
Iodine, zinc, selenium, and L-tyrosine are essential for the production and activation of thyroid hormones, and copper contributes to the healthy balance between zinc and copper. ThyroPure from Pure Labs delivers these nutrients in forms that are easy to absorb to support healthy thyroid and immune function. And as a bonus, minerals like zinc and selenium are not just vital to energy metabolism; they’re also important to your immune function. Take two ThyroPure capsules each day to experience increased motivation, energy, and cold tolerance throughout the winter.
Find Cognitive Resilience with Adaptogens
Sometimes, mental sluggishness and lack of focus come from chronic over-stimulation, or “burning the candle at both ends”. That’s where adaptogens like rhodiola and ashwagandha come in. Adaptogens are plant-based compounds believed to help your body adapt to stress and support steady energy throughout the day. Although some individuals feel a difference almost immediately when they supplement them, the ashwagandha and rhodiola tend to work over a period of regular intake by gradually helping the body adapt to physical, mental and environmental stressors like cold weather.
Adaptogens aid in the prevention of energy crashes brought on by mental and physical overexertion by altering the body’s stress response and regulating cortisol levels. Rhodiola in particular supports endurance and stamina, while ashwagandha promotes a calm and composed state in the face of stress—ideal for staying steady through demanding schedules as you begin the new year. The end result is not a sudden surge of energy but rather a steady state of mental clarity and physical vitality that helps you feel more grounded and capable, even on days when you don’t feel motivated. Pure Lab’s AdaptaPure combines l-theanine with high-potency, standardized Sensoril® ashwagandha and rhodiola for increased cognitive stress resilience. Just two capsule per day, taken in the morning and early afternoon, can help you stay sharp and energized through your afternoon, setting you up for a well-deserved evening of rest.
