Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Boosters

Q: How does an effective energy boosting supplement work?

The correct formula holds the key to success so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to both increase energy levels as well as fight fatigue for long-term support. The formula should not just be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research.

Energy boosting supplements should contain a full-spectrum Vitamin B complex as these vitamins are essential for the optimal functioning of the body as well as ensuring the proper breakdown of nutrients from the food we eat into energy for our body to use. The inclusion of a variety of adaptogens help the body manage stress and fight fatigue for longer lasting energy boosting benefits. The formula should not include caffeine as the energy boosting effects can wear off over time and it may also contribute to unwanted side effects such as jitteriness.

Q: Do all energy boosting supplements work?

Unfortunately, they do not. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health supplement trends formulating supplements that contain incorrect ingredients and the wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add unnecessary inactive ingredients or cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings and preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are buying a quality product and not just some powder in a pill. 

Q: What are the important points to look out for?

• It should include a full-spectrum B-vitamin complex.
• It should include the most active forms of Folate and Vitamin B12 (5-MTFH and Methylcobalamin) as these are better utilized by the body.
• It should contain a variety of adaptogenic herbs to help the body manage stress, fight fatigue, boost energy, and enhance physical and mental performance.
• It should not include any caffeine which can cause jitteriness and become less effective over time.
• It should include BioPerine^® to enhance absorption for faster and more effective results.
• It should not contain any binders, fillers, additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure and natural with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.
• It should be formulated using the same potency as found effective in clinical studies.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor first, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or are taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for energy boosting supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, if you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 2 capsules per day. Some people like to take the complete daily serving together at once, but we recommend spacing it out to achieve optimal benefits from the ingredients contained within the formula.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within as little as a week. Whilst, for others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, your lifestyle choices and genetic disposition. There were many manufacturers that offered refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good energy boosting supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which energy boosting supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Energysyl by Approved Science the most. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Energysyl had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback and customer service.

Of course, it is ultimately your choice. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for a well-researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go far wrong with Energysyl. It is an excellent quality product with great reviews and a fair price.
