Caffeine is no longer the only option for those seeking an energy boost. Bestselling author Stephen Cherniske has highlighted several alternatives that can provide a similar energy kick.
Cordyceps extract is a fungus-based energy booster that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It's believed to improve mental clarity, reduce fatigue, and increase energy levels.
Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha, ginseng, and rhodiola rosea have been shown to help the body adapt to stress and increase energy levels. These herbs work by stimulating the body's natural energy-producing processes.
"I've seen a shift in consumers' expectations for energy boosters," says Cherniske. "They're no longer just looking for a quick fix; they want natural, sustainable alternatives that promote overall well-being."
