The Top 5 Caffeine-Free Natural Energy Supplements, Energy For Hours Without Caffeine!


Need a quick boost of energy that can last for hours, yet everything on the market always seems to be the same thing... Caffeine! Well here are some natural supplements that don't have caffeine, but can still give you a great boost of energy. The main thing to keep in mind is that a caffeine high and energy are NOT the same thing. So when taking some of these if you find you don't have the same reaction as caffeine, remember caffeine is a drug (even though it can be naturally sourced) and the so called energy boost you get from it is the high!


1. Cellfood/Mineral/Oxygen Supplements: Cellfood is an Oxygen supplement with 78 minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, electrolytes and of course dissolved oxygen. This one is tremendous because as opposed to just giving a boost of energy it fills in so many nutritional gaps that most people have in one area or another. Correcting your nutritional deficiencies is the first step in increasing your natural energy levels.

How do you use it? Just add around 10 drops to your juice or water. Consume daily up to 3 servings. Always during and after physically active activities.


2. NADH is a Co-Enzyme, a Co-Enzyme is a molecule that can enhance or enable enzymes in the body. It's a key component in cell respiration. Which is the major determining factor in how well your body is able to create ATP which is your cell energy. By combining NADH and Cellfood you will notice a HUGE boost in your normal energy levels, with your cells maximizing their natural ATP output.

How do you use it? You can take anywhere from 5-20mg a day, it's recommended to take early in the day. Even though it doesn't contain caffeine it definetely gets your energy up and may make going to sleep difficult.


3. Super Greens: Super Greens are foods with high amounts of chlorophyll and phytonutrients, the same nutrients you get from your green vegetables. Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, Spirulina and Chlorella are all examples. I'd read that one pound of wheat grass is equivalent to comsuming 100 pounds of baby spinach, now I'm not sure if that's going to be true, either way it's a testament to the nutrient power inside these foods.

My personal favorite is Chlorella, which is the highest natural source of chlorophyll which is a blood purifier. As well it contains significant amounts of DNA/RNA similar to the human strain, so it's a huge contributor to cell regeneration. Oh did I mention it has also been shown to chelate heavy metals out of the body. Heavy metals being claimed as potentially the #1 reason for most illness and disease today! Yeah it's super alright.

How do you use it? Start off slow. 1 teaspoon a day and work up to as much as 1 tablespoon a day. Greens can give you diarrhea if you take too much especially if your body isn't used to them. Just don't say I didn't warn ya.


4. Milk Thistle! Some might wonder what a detoxification herb is doing here on a best energy boost list. I thought it deserved a place here simply because it's the number #1 herb used to regenerate and detoxify the liver. When your liver is clogged and overburdened with toxic waste your energy levels will plummet and nothing is going to help boost that energy back until the root problem is fixed.

How do you use it? Take it daily in a concentrated extract form of 100mg-300mg three times a day.


5. MACA: This herb also known as peruvian ginseng has been a big hit in the market recently. Namely for its adaptogenic effects, meaning it works with the body according to what the body needs at that time. It's rich in minerals and nutrients because like greens foods maca is also a super food. It's biggest boost so far has been in strengthening libido, particularly in women whom I've seen clear the shelves of this product in my store over the course of the last few months.

How do you use it? Take it in a powder or liquid form is ideal. 1 tsp a day tends to be enough although there are no problems with taking more than that a day.

Feeling Tired all the time and can't figure out why, yet nothing seems to help? what are Kevin Trudeau and other authorities on natural healing suggesting? Find out here!

What exactly is leaky gut syndrome anyway?


So you go to see a Naturopath or a Nutritionist and after your first consultation you're told "You have leaky gut syndrome"! What's Going ON! Are your insides coming out your butt when you have bowel movements, are they bleeding and falling apart? No, not quite.

The simple explanation of what leaky gut syndrome is this. Your intestinal lining due to certain factors it could be chronic inflammation, food sensitivities, or other chronic ailments such as Candida becomes permeable. Microscopic tears begin to form in your intestinal lining and foreign particles can actually bypass your digestive system all together and run right into your bloodstream. These tears generally are as small as being between single digestive lining cells. As a result your food becomes your poison!

What this basically means is that when you digest food it travels through your stomach to your intestinal tract where nutrients are broken down and assimilated into your body. Your body contains many absorption points where it chooses what it wants to take in. The problem with leaky gut is these proteins in your food end up passing through the tears in your intestinal lining and right into your blood stream. At this point your body is crying out "ALERT, ALERT, Forein Particle found DESTROY, DESTROY!" Your immune system fires up as if it was trying to kill off any other kind of infection! Your symptoms could be anything from headaches to asthmatic responses to a runny nose or stabbing pains in your gut or all of the above at once and more!

From my experience I’ve noticed a tendency for leaky gut to develop following severe constipation. For example one man came by my store and had been constipated for over a week a few months back. When he came in he told me how he had been diagnosed with Leaky Gut and he had been trying to work his way back to health ever since. His symptoms were brought on by only two things, Eggs and Wheat (Common Allergens) two foods he claimed to have eaten during that week, otherwise he was perfectly fine.

So what this really tells us is that the first foods that tend to cause problems are the more highly allergenic ones. This is arguably because most people tend to have mild to moderate sensitivities to these foods anyway. When a large particle of wheat protein suddenly makes its way into your bloodstream and you already have a sensitivity to it, it simply exaggerates the reaction to a greater degree. Beyond this for someone without those sensitivities inborn they can be developed by leaky gut.

At the same time if you feel that you’ve always had certain food allergies I believe that not everyone develops these allergies by leaky gut. Some people definetely do but it is wrong for health practitioners to automatically label someone with leaky gut because they get congested everytime they have dairy. Although the diet needed to repair leaky gut is so free of allergens that someone with innate allergies will find relief via the diet as well.

There is an entire article I plan on relating leaky gut development due to Candida, I skipped this for now because it is such a major topic all on its own. For now though you should have a pretty strong idea of how leaky gut develops and what it is.
