“Normal” fatigue or chronic fatigue: how can you tell the difference?
Normal fatigue is resolved with rest. Chronic fatigue, on the other hand, persists despite sufficient sleep, lasts more than 6 months, and affects quality of life.
The most common causes
Iron, vitamin D, B12, or magnesium deficiencies, sleep disorders, chronic stress and adrenal exhaustion, hypothyroidism, gut dysbiosis, or a sedentary lifestyle are the main causes to investigate.
The most effective natural active ingredients
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 helps reduce fatigue (EFSA claim). The methylcobalamin form is the most bioavailable.
Magnesium
Magnesium helps reduce fatigue and supports normal energy metabolism. The bisglycinate or malate form is preferred.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function. In France, 80% of the population is deficient in vitamin D.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha helps the body respond better to physical and mental stress. Studies show improved vitality after 8 weeks.
Rhodiola rosea
Rhodiola helps reduce fatigue and supports mental performance. It acts quickly, often within a few days.
Coenzyme Q10
CoQ10 plays a central role in mitochondrial cellular energy production. Its production decreases with age.
Ginseng
Ginseng contributes to physical and mental energy. A traditional overall tonic used for thousands of years in Asian medicine.
