If you are always tired, this is for you. Here are 5 SUPPLEMENTS that might just help with your fatigue, and how to use them. THREAD:

1. THIAMINE (VITAMIN B1) megadosing completely cures fatigue. 600-1,500 mg of thaimine (B1) daily abolished chronic fatigue metrics in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Vitamin B1 megadosing reverses fatigue within 3-5 days. 600 mg thiamine (B1) per day led to complete or near complete resolution of fatigue in autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Why thiamine (B1) works for fatigue. Thiamine (TPP) is needed for our cells to: ◆ Generate energy from all food (especially carbs + protein) ◆ Maintain antioxidant status Fatigue is often due to poor mitochondrial function + oxidative stress.

SUPPLEMENTING THIAMINE (B1) There are several different forms of thiamine. The responses seem to be highly individual. I always encourage experimentation. I love objective nutrients' selection.

2. NATURAL DESICCATED THYROID (NDT) cuts fatigue symptoms in half. Use of this pig thyroid gland extract has been used for over a century.

Fatigue can caused by low thyroid hormones. People with fatigue have: ⬩NORMAL TSH (what docs normally test) ⬩LOW T3 ⬩HIGH REVERSE T3 T3 is our primary metabolism boosting hormone, but reverse T3 lowers energy. Natural desiccated thyroid contains T3, which can help a ton.

SUPPLEMENTING NATURAL DESICCATED THYROID. This is the product we use personally and with clients. Starting with half a grain (one scoop), observing symptoms over the next 2-4 weeks, and adjusting accordingly, is a good plan.

3. COENZYME Q10 CRUSHES fatigue. Improvements in: ‣ Fatigue ‣ Morning tiredness ‣ Anxiety ‣ Depression ‣ Pain ‣ Stiffness & RESTORED: ‣ Inflammatory markers ‣ Antioxidant enzymes ‣ Mitochondrial biogenesis back to those of healthy controls. 300 mg/d.

Coenzyme Q10 repairs mitochondria. It ensures metabolism is working optimally, but our CoQ levels drop during aging and disease. Mitochondria become more fragmented as we age, but CoQ10 is a tool we can use to prevent this. This allows us to continue to generate energy.

Why Coenzyme Q10 works for fatigue. Back to the mitochondria, in the electron transport chain is where most cellular energy is produced. CoQ10 is a vital component of this chain. This also gives it antioxidant properties, which additionally protects us from fatigue.

SUPPLEMENTING COQ10. Doses in fatigue studies have ranged from 60-500 mg. Starting on the lower end of that seems logical. I don't have any preferred brands here, but I do absolutely love these heart crisps, the food that contains the most CoQ10.

4. ASPIRIN cuts fatigue by ~25%. By: ◈ Reducing inflammation (especially in the brain) ◈ Improving mitochondrial function ◈ Lowering free fatty acids aspirin sets you up for higher energy levels.

Chronic fatigue is really chronic inflammation. Microglia (inflammatory cells, red/yellow) in the brain are directly tied to symptoms of: △ Cognitive impairment △ Depression △ Pain △ Lethargy A huge reason why aspirin can help.

TAKING ASPIRIN FOR FATIGUE Small doses (80-160 mg) lead to concentrations associated with better mitochondrial function. This is also what has been tested to improve energy. Most aspirin is full of junk, which is why we support this brand, it is pure.

I've written a TON on the benefits of aspirin, how it works, as well as other information on how to use it here.

5. CREATINE crushes fatigue Daily creatine supplementation REDUCED: ⬩Fatigue by 70% ⬩Headache by >80% ⬩Dizziness by nearly half The brain needs creatine for proper energy metabolism. Supplementing it back is an excellent tool for cognition and brain health.

Creatine levels in the brain are low in chronic fatigue. Your brain depends on creatine even more than your muscles do. Without it, you'll be feeling low on energy mentally.

Why creatine works for fatigue. Creatine works by serving as an energy producing substrate. This extra energy is why it helps you in the gym - but in the brain, this: ‣ Supports brain cell growth ‣ Coordinates neurotransmitter release ‣ Supports neuron communication

SUPPLEMENTING CREATINE for fatigue. 5-8 grams per day of creatine monohydrate will get the job done. I definitely do not have a preferred brand here, it is incredibly common and always sold in pure powder form.
