There is this very specific moment in the afternoon when our energy seems to have left the office without warning. It’s 3 p.m., we still have things to do and the third café starts looking at us too insistently (we know).
With autumn and the days getting shorter, Vitamin village has just arrived on YesStyle with its new energy food supplement. Its idea is rather simple: bring together 7 vitamins and minerals in a single small daily tablet, to support energy metabolism without transforming our kitchen into a food supplement aisle.
7 vitamins and minerals rather than an entire shelf of supplements
The formula combines vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and C, as well as zinc and folic acid. From an energy perspective, B group vitamins are particularly interesting since they participate in normal energy metabolism.
Translation: they help our body to correctly use energy from food.
On the other hand, don’t wait for the effect of a double espresso thirty seconds after swallowing your tablet (we see you coming). A vitamin is not a stimulant. Its interest is above all to supplement the intake when diet or daily life does not always cover everything correctly.
1 tablet per day and the box lasts 60 days
And that, for those who forget their supplements three days out of four, is rather good news. The bottle contains 60 tablets of 250 mg with a very simple recommendation: one tablet per day with water. One box therefore lasts about two months.
Another rather practical detail: the tablet measures only 8 mm. Nothing to do with certain huge capsules which already make you want to give up even before the first dose. The formula is advertised without synthetic flavor. However, it contains lactose as well as certain ingredients derived from peach and tomato, to check if you are affected by allergies or intolerances.
If you’ve been exhausted for 3 months, the problem may not be your multivitamin
And that’s probably the most important point. A supplement can support nutritional intake, but it should not be used to put a nice bandage on fatigue that has lasted for weeks.
Lack of sleep, stress, iron deficiency, thyroid problem… there are so many reasons to feel completely flat. So yes, this type of formula can be practical in the fall (and much less restrictive than seven different boxes). But if you feel abnormally tired, we look for the cause rather than simply adding a tablet.
What vitamins are useful when you lack energy?
B group vitamins contribute in particular to normal energy metabolism. This formula contains vitamins B1, B2 and B6. However, they do not give a “boost” comparable to caffeine. Their role is much more global in the functioning of the body. Significant or persistent fatigue is therefore always worth exploring.
How long does a box last?
The bottle contains 60 tablets and the recommendation is to take one per day. So you have about 60 days of use in a box. The tablet is only 8mm, making it quite easy to swallow. Good news for those who hate large capsules (us too).
Can you take a multivitamin every day?
Yes, provided you respect the recommended dose. You should also avoid accumulating several supplements containing exactly the same vitamins. More is not necessarily better. A supplement does not replace a varied diet either. In the event of treatment, pregnancy or health problem, it is better to seek advice from a professional.
