FEEL RECHARGED AS YOU head back to work

As your much-needed Christmas break draws to an end, you may wonder why you’re still not feeling full of energy and motivation to head back to the office. To explore some natural solutions, Good sat down with one of Good Health’s two in-house Naturopaths, Jane McClurg, to share her top tips to start 2023 with a spring in your step.

Often when we have had a stressful and busy year we can fall into some not-sogreat habits on our holiday, like staying up a bit too late, drinking alcohol more regularly and not eating regular meals with our 5+-a-day fruits and veges.

So how can we support our energy and our nervous system as we head back to work and set ourselves up for a great year ahead?

As the name suggests; Good Health’s Energy & Vitality capsules can be a good place to start. This exclusive formulation can support your physical and mental performance so you can hit the ground running on your return to work. It contains three key ingredients at scientifically researched doses; Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) which is a powerful adaptogenic tonic that is calming, rejuvenating and supports the nervous system. Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is well known to support and nourish the nervous system when one is particularly fatigued. Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is a herb that is commonly used by endurance athletes for energy support and body recovery. With the added amino acid tyrosine which supports the manufacture of stressregulating hormones, this is a great all-round energy support formulation.

Another way to support your body’s energy pathways is to make sure your vitamin B12 levels are optimal. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for the normal growth and function of all cells, including nerve and red blood cells, and Good Health’s B Activated B12 is a rapidly absorbed activated form of B12. This delicious dissolving under the tongue tablet has superior absorption and uptake into the body, for energy support, general health and wellbeing. Good Health

B Activated B12 with activated B12 may be beneficial for individuals on restricted diets, vegetarians, and vegans as well as those with gut concerns or when absorption is impaired.

Perhaps you’ve got your energy levels dialled in, but the thought of sitting in tra ic and getting back to the o ice makes your stress levels start to bubble up. Good Health’s Rapid Calm is a handy e ervescent tablet that contains L-theanine, magnesium and vitamin D for fast-acting stress support. Pop one into your water bottle as you head out into tra ic and feel the calming e ect within minutes. L-theanine is an amino acid that crosses the blood brain barrier to support a calm, relaxed mood, perfect during times of heightened stress. This calming e ect won’t make you drowsy, in fact it supports focus so it’s perfect prior to those boardroom presentations or job interviews.
