Introduction
Most of us experience days when our energy feels low—especially during the darker months when schedules are full, but daylight feels scarce. While sleep, nutrition, and movement form the foundation, certain nutrients and traditional ingredients can help the body produce and sustain energy.†
Some are essential vitamins and minerals that participate directly in cellular energy metabolism†, while others may help support stamina and performance.†
B Vitamins: Cellular Energy Metabolism
B vitamins act as cofactors—meaning they help enzymes do their jobs—during the conversion of food into usable energy inside the cells.† Without enough B vitamins, cellular energy production doesn’t run efficiently.†
Extra Strength Methyl B12 delivers 3,000 mcg of methylated B12 plus 200 mg of beetroot juice powder per serving. This helps convert food into cellular energy and supports normal red blood cell formation.†
- For those low in vitamin B12, it may also help reduce fatigue.†
- B12 also supports nervous system function, healthy mood, and plays a role in healthy aging.†
For convenience, MegaFood offers B vitamins in multiple formats, including gummies!
Iron: Oxygen Transport and Energy Support
Iron isn’t part of the cellular energy machinery itself, but it plays a critical supportive role: oxygen transport.† Red blood cells need iron to carry oxygen, which fuels cellular energy production throughout the body.†
Iron Energy Gummies deliver 3-in-1 support from iron, vitamin B6, and B12 to promote red blood cell and cellular energy production.†
- Gentle on the stomach and strawberry flavored, these gummies are safe for kids over four, teens, and adults who may need energy support.†
MegaFood has been trusted for iron supplements for over 40 years, offering both gummies and liquid options.
Shilajit: Traditional Ingredient for Stamina and Performance
Unlike vitamins and minerals, Shilajit does not directly participate in cellular energy metabolism.† Instead, it is a mineral-rich resin long used in Ayurveda to support vitality and resilience.† Modern research suggests it may complement foundational nutrients by supporting stamina and performance.†
Shilajit from MegaFood combines clinically studied PrimaVie® Shilajit extract with concentrated Himalayan Shilajit extract, delivering the equivalent to 10,000 mg shilajit powder per two capsules.
- This ingredient may help support stamina, muscle strength, physical performance, healthy testosterone levels, and brain health.†
- Fulvic acid in Shilajit also provides antioxidant activity to help neutralize free radicals and defend cells from oxidative stress.†
Bringing It Together
There isn’t one single “best vitamin for energy.” Instead, the right support depends on your needs:
- For cellular energy metabolism: B vitamins like B12 are essential.†
- For oxygen transport and red blood cell health: Iron plays a central role.†
- For stamina and performance support: Traditional ingredients like Shilajit can complement the nutrients your body relies on daily.†
By combining foundational nutrients with targeted traditional ingredients, you can support energy at multiple levels, helping you stay fueled for the demands of everyday life.†
