What would be some must have supplements/vitamins for boosting energy levels?

Question 1
What would be some must have supplements/vitamins for boosting energy levels?...  Soon I'll be starting uni and will have 5.30 am rises and know I'll run out of energy pretty fast (I do already and I have a very relaxed lifestyle at present) So, I'm looking to get some stuff that'll help - specifically with energy but without any nasty side effects. Recently I got a few bottles of caffeine tablets but only after I'd gotten them did I start thinking that they may not be the best thing to take. Thanks.
I've been thinking Siberian Gingseng, Olive Leaf, Gotu Kola, Chlorophyll?

1)   If you have a proper diet you will have no need for "must have" supplements. - rod85

2)   You're right to think that caffeine isn't a good idea. The best idea for boosting energy levels is sleep. Get into a healthy sleep habit and you'll boost your energy levels in a "safe and all natural" way. A healthy balanced diet and taking a basic multivitamin once daily would supply your body with all it needs.

Sorry, there is no magic cure. - Matthew

3)   Try CHIA seeds (from your local healthfood store (seeds should be from Mexico, I tried seeds from Australia with no leath benefits), they are 100% natural. I take a whole tablespoon everyday, they are good for, weight loss, good source of fibre, gives you HEAPS of energy, makes you look & feel younger, great for depressiion and a great source of Omega 3 & Omega 6, good also for memory. All the best. As Chia seeds are natural the only side effect is that your happy, and full of energy, when no-one else is. - Tracey Macdonald

4)   drink more water ~ you'd be amazed at how being just a lil dehydrated can leave you fatigued and exhausted;
drink a lot less alcohol, caffeine and soda (if you drink any) ~ they all dehydrate you terribly.. particularly alcohol and sodas ... and age you before your time;
eat more fresh whole foods like green vegies, salads,fresh fruits, lean meats and fishes, wholegrains and cereals like brown rice and wholemeal bread and rolled oats and cut right back on fake junky foods;
drink green vegie juices if you can't stomach eating greens and salads.... cut the base and leaves off a celery and juice it up with a freshly peeled lime lemon or apple (depending on your taste)... quick, cheap and easy to assimilate ..... better than chowing down on loads of vegies and greens if you don't really like them;
get at least 8 hours of sleep a night ~ astounding the difference just doing that will make.

supplements, pills, vitamins are a veritable minefield of misinformation and random luck as to whether you actually get something that will benefit your system .... you never really will know what preservatives, flavorings, colorings and other nasty chemicals they've used to "preserve and prolong shelf life" of the product ...... save your cash and splash it on something that will actually put a smile on your dial like a monthly massage ......;0)

have a good one hey.

5)   Guarana - As a dietary supplement, guarana is an effective energy booster:[1] it contains about twice the caffeine found in coffee beans (about 2–4.5% caffeine in guarana seeds compared to 1–2% for coffee beans).[2]

It's sold in SOBE products, pill form and gum - sauve4te

6)   I drink a bottle of water before my feet hit the ground in the morn, I make sure I have enough water & stop drinking when it gets later in the eve so I don't have to wake up to pee. So I also will have a yogurt as a snack in the eve. to keep my blood sugar steady through the night & the calcium helps you feel really relaxed.

Learn the connection between what you say & what your subconscious carries out in your life. so a good life script saying I awaken refreshed & energetic. I have great energy all day & when it is time to sleep I am able to fall right into a peaceful sleep.

Deep breathing bring oxegen to your brain. I used to hold my breathe while typing & no wonder I got so tired.

A good way of living is to check into the info. by Abraham-hicks.com or they have lots of videos on youtube.com they helped change my life cause I didnt' understand how my thoughts drained me. - Abe-hicks

7)   Be sure to eat healthy foods. Poor nutrition leaves you feeling run-down, even when you feel that you are getting plenty to eat. You need carbohydrates for energy, but in order to get the highest nutritional value, you should look for the least-processed and highest fiber carbs whenever possible. Foods with a high protein content are also very important to help keep you going throughout the day.

The USDA, United States Department of Agriculture, has posted some helpful lists on their website. They have lists of foods, ranked highest to lowest, in terms of value for particular nutrients.

Ask your doctor about getting a Vitamin B-12 shot to improve your energy. Better yet, check the USDA National Nutrient Database to find natural food sources for Vitamin B-12 and other nutrients. - Reader4Life

Question 2
if i jumped in ice cold water would it burn some of my fat?...  if i were to fill my bathtub of ice and then lay in it would it burn some of my fat from my body?

Answers
1)   absolutely not -.- - lissaDeexo

2)   You'll burn more fat getting out of the tub. - Gary Y

3)   No, you'll just agitate yourself. - [ ★ .Strawberry Cough ]

4)   No. Ice water isn't going to "burn" off fat. Hot water doesn't work either. You can't freeze off your fat, and you can't burn it off, boil it off, or melt it off, or anything else along those lines. The only way to get rid of it is to raise your metabolism through healthy living, exercise off more calories, and eat less calories. - CrocoDuck

Question 3
can they find thc (marijuana) in your blood?...  will they find thc (marijuana) in ur blood if they arent lookin for it cause their only lookin how this medication im taking is effecting my blood

Answers
1)   If they aren't looking for it (which they'renot), they won't find it. - [ ★ .Strawberry Cough ]

2)   No - Marc

3)   hate to be the negative one here but... maybe. They probably just run it through a generic one that tests for all the basics. - Mr. Artless

4)   They can only find THC in your blood if you have smoked in the last 12 hours to a day. When you are high, the THC is running everywhere in your blood. As your high starts to come down, the THC begins to leave your bloodstream. Its similar to alcohol, except THC stays in you blood a little longer - BOSS

Question 5
Does Omega 3 oil improve arthritis?...  

Answers
1)   Omega 3s have been shown in some studies to help relieve inflammation, including autoimmune arthritis (such as Rheumatoid arthritis) and Crohn's Disease.

"Most clinical studies examining omega-3 fatty acid supplements for arthritis have focused on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints. A number of small studies have found that fish oil helps reduce symptoms of RA, including joint pain and morning stiffness." - http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/omega-3-000316.htm

"Many of the placebo-controlled trials of fish oil in chronic inflammatory diseases reveal significant benefit, including decreased disease activity and a lowered use of anti-inflammatory drugs." - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12480795

As a personal tale, I've been taking 6000 mg of fish oil a day on doctor's advice for six years for Crohn's Disease and Psoriatic Arthritis and have noticed a definite difference in inflammation levels is I stop taking them for awhile. - dreamingcr0w

2)   Omega 3s, like salmon oil, are very good for any inflammatory disease. - mama woof

3)   it is certainly a help against inflammation. On the other hand, it may not be enough. Try 6000mg and see 1) if you tolerate it and 2) if it gets any better - you should see results in just a few days. What worked for me was homeopathy. All the symptoms are completely gone. - serenity
