One of the most common complaints that we hear from our customers at the moment is fatigue. Fatigue and disturbed sleep patterns are often the result of stress. Some people are suffering from shorter term periods of activity and stress, such as students taking exams, whilst other people with a busy lifestyle such as carers or teachers might have longer term stress in their lives. There’s a lot of recommendations here but please come in and have a chat about your own unique lifestyle and we will help you to select the best products for you.
Whatever the cause of your personal fatigue, we all need to be sure that we eat a properly balanced diet and get all the essential nutrients our bodies and brains need. We recommend taking a good quality multivitamin to make sure that you are getting all the vitamins and minerals that you need.
Take a good quality multivitamin
A really good multivitimin is Espresat by Floradix. Epresat liquid is easy to take and helps safeguard the balance of vitamin A, D, E, C, B1, B2, niacin and B6. As these nutrients are already dissolved, they are absorbed more quickly by the digestive system compared to tablets. Epresat contains several fruit juice concentrates and selected herbs for a pleasant fruity taste.
