Which vitamins do you miss when you are tired?
by Laura VDS on Feb 21, 2023
Always tired? No energy? You are not alone. Often an energy shortage is easy to solve. Your body lacks certain vitamins and therefore you only run at half power .
In this article I list the most important vitamins against fatigue .
Vitamin D
You probably know that you produce vitamin D through sunlight. But in Belgium and the Netherlands, the sun shines about three times a year. So it is not surprising that many people have a vitamin D deficiency.
Tired, listless and not in the mood for anything? Chances are you have a vitamin D deficiency and that has a big impact on your energy level.
💡 Tip: Vitamin D3 is the form that your body absorbs most easily.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is like fuel for your body. You need it for your nerves, brain and energy production. Sounds important, right?
Symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency include fatigue, dizziness and brain fog.
💡People who eat few or no animal products are more likely to suffer from a vitamin deficiency . That's why we at GIMMY developed this 100% natural & vegan Multivit Gummies .
Folic acid
You might think: folic acid, you only need that when you are pregnant? No! Folic acid also serves to maintain your energy level. It helps your body to produce blood cells and transport oxygen. Because less oxygen = less energy.
Vitamin C
We know vitamin C as the resistance vitamin , but did you know that it also helps against fatigue ? It ensures that your body absorbs iron better. And you need iron for… yes: energy.
💡 Fruits are packed with vitamin C.
Iron
Iron is not really a vitamin, but it is too important not to mention. If you have too little iron , your cells get less oxygen and you feel tired more quickly.
