In addition to the already popular caffeinated sodas, coffee and tea, numerous “energy drinks” have popped up in convenience stores everywhere. These beverages usually use caffeine or caffeinated plants like guarana and kola nuts for their stimulating effects. Many also contain a lot of sugar.

However, this temporary stimulus comes at a price—it’s using up nutrient and energy reserves. It’s also stimulating glandular function, which ultimately leads to adrenal and thyroid fatigue.
This effect is often noticeable a few hours later as energy sags again and another “caffeine fix” is required. Over time, the glands and energy-producing mechanisms become more and more depleted and people crave more and more stimulants to try to feel good.

Target Endurance is a good choice. This blend contains minerals and amino acids that were shown to increase endurance times in laboratory animals by as much as 480%. Taken with licorice root, it’s a great way to overcome cravings for caffeine and sugar.
Another good choice is Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic. This blend will supply trace minerals and Chinese herbs that help the body produce more “chi” or energy. It’s a great tonic for improving overall health and energy levels. It’s also an adaptagen that reduces stress while building immunity and resistance to disease.
