The Best Vitamins for Energy (And Why They Might Not Be Enough)

Last Updated on August 7, 2025

If you’re reaching for another coffee, an energy drink, or even a supplement promising “clean energy” – I get it.

I’ve worked with thousands of clients who’ve told me they feel exhausted for no reason. They sleep but never feel rested. They eat healthy (or so they think), but still have no spark. And no matter how many stimulants or vitamins they try, they’re still dragging.

That’s because energy isn’t just about popping a B complex or drinking a green juice. Fatigue is a symptom – not a personality trait.

And it’s usually rooted in something deeper.

 

Why You Have No Energy: It’s Not Just About Vitamins

 

Before I share the best vitamins for energy, you need to understand this: if your energy is tanked, there’s always a root cause.

In my 20+ years as a functional health practitioner professional, I’ve seen the same core imbalances pop up again and again:

• Mitochondrial dysfunction (your cellular batteries are shot)
• Hormone imbalances (thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones all play a role)
• Nutrient deficiencies (your body can’t make energy out of nothing)
• Sluggish detox pathways (if toxins can’t leave, they drag your system and energy down)
• Chronic inflammation (often invisible, but extremely energy-draining)
• Nervous system dysregulation (living in fight-or-flight is exhausting)
• Adrenal insufficiency (your stress response system is overworked or flatlined)
• A Stealth or Parasitic Infection (bacteria overgrowth, EBV, amoebas, protozoa, helminths, etc. will rob your nutrients and energy)

You don’t have to have all of these. One or two can totally wipe you out.

The number one sign you have one (or more) issues listed above is waking up tired regardless of how much sleep you get.

That’s why no amount of supplements will fix fatigue unless you also fix the root cause.

But can supplements help jumpstart your energy? Absolutely. Let’s start there.

 

 

The Best Vitamins for Energy Support

 

If you’re feeling run down, these are the top functional nutrition tools I recommend to support energy production naturally and holistically:

 

1. A Broad-Spectrum Multivitamin & Multi-mineral

 

Start here. Most people are running on empty and don’t even know it. A quality multi covers your bases – especially if you’re not eating perfectly (and who is?).

Look for one that contains bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals, not synthetic garbage. You want your body to actually absorb what you’re taking.

This is the daily stack I recommend from my Fullscript Dispensary.

You can’t just order from Fullscript… you need a credentialed practitioner to order you so have to sign up for Fullscript that’ll link me to you as a practitioner so you can order and get my discount.

Once there you’ll see more details about the products I recommend so you can choose the right one for you.

 

2. The ULT Program

 

Food > pills. Always.

This is why I strongly recommend the ULT program (Ultimate Lifestyle Transformation) – it delivers high-quality, organic nutrients directly from food, including bioavailable vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and superfoods that your body knows how to use.  This is a 90 day program and helps replenish, detox, and supports the body is SO many ways.

• The ULT program includes 2 meal replacement shakes a day (1 shake has the nutrient of 6 salads)
• My favorite amino acid supplements – get 15 grams of protein per serving for zero calories and stay full for hours
• Biomedic – this helps detox, repair, and heal the gut so you can actually absorb nutrients.  It’s the only product in the world clinically proven to remove glyphosate and spike protein from the body in just 6 weeks.
• Tart Cherry Juice Extract – This is a HUGE blast of antioxidants from organic tart cherries that reverse damage from toxicity, it also helps you sleep and stops pain.
• A Parasite Cleanse – this 90 day program also includes a parasite cleanse that helps remove the bad bugs stealing your nutrients and energy.

For clients who are depleted, have lots of symptoms, want to lose weight, get healthy, feel better, or want to truly nourish their cells, this is my #1 recommendation. It energizes without stimulants, supports detox, rebuilds the gut, and kickstarts metabolism – naturally – in 90 days.

When you join the ULT Program you’ll get a free one on one session with me. Simply sign up for the ULT Program here and my team will be in touch to schedule your session.

3. Bonus: Fast-Acting Energy Support

 

Need something quicker while you work on the deeper stuff?

Methylated B Vitamins – These are non-negotiable. B vitamins are essential for converting food into fuel and supporting your nervous system. If you have MTHFR or COMT genetic mutations (many people do), you need methylated forms like methylcobalamin (B12) and methylfolate (B9) to actually get results.

Bonus: they also support mood, hormones, and detox.  The multivitamin-multiminerals (above) include these… but adding these bioavailable B vitamins on can help boost energy quickly – especially if you’re deficient, really tired, and have a genetic mutation.

There are a few natural energy boosters can help, too like:

• Cordyceps or Rhodiola (adaptogens that support endurance and adrenal health)
• CoQ10 or PQQ (mitochondrial support for better cellular energy)
• Magnesium malate or glycinate (soothes muscles and supports ATP production)
• Super Aminos (my go-to for rebuilding tissue and energy without digestion strain)

 

Again, I don’t recommend throwing a TON of supplements at fatigue without addressing the root causes listed above and starting with a multi-vitamin/mineral or ULT program.

If you need help finding the root causes of your symptoms I can help.  You can apply to work with me.

Remember if you join the ULT program you and I will work together for free.

 

The Truth: You Don’t Need Another Energy Hack – You Need a Plan

 

I know it’s tempting to want a quick fix.

But I promise you this – if you’re chronically tired – or wake up feeling tired – it’s not a personal failure or your age. It’s a red-flag biological signal that something’s off.

You deserve answers. And results.

👉 If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally fix your fatigue, book a case review. I’ll help you pinpoint the root cause, explain what your body is trying to tell you, and build a personalized plan to get you energized again.

If you get into the solution and join the ULT program I’ll work with you for free.

 

Final Thoughts: Real Energy Is Earned, Not Bought

 

Supplements and superfoods can help. So can smarter movement and better food. But true, lasting energy comes when your body is aligned, supported, and safe.

That’s where I come in.

You don’t have to figure this out alone – work with me and I’ll help you get back to feeling like you again. Not the tired, frustrated, dragging version – the one that actually has energy to live, work, and play hard.

You’re not lazy. You’re just depleted. Let’s fix that.
