If you are deficient in B vitamins
vitamin C Try adding
If a multivitamin containing B vitamins does not sufficiently reduce fatigue, vitamin C may help. Take 1-2 tablets of 1,000 mg after meals. When I wake up in the morning and have to work late into the night, I take 1,000mg of vitamin C, 2 tablets every 5-6 hours, several times a day. There are a few things to note. Eating too much vitamin C in an hour or two can cause stomach aches and watery stools, which can be embarrassing at an important meeting. Therefore, it should be taken at regular intervals. If taking vitamin C on an empty stomach causes stomach upset, you can take a neutral vitamin C.

If you are over 40, consider adding coenzyme Q10.
If you are over 40 years of age, taking B vitamins, multivitamins, and vitamin C does not relieve fatigue enough, it is also recommended to take an additional 100 mg of coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant, but also a coenzyme that plays an important role in energy production. Therefore, coenzyme Q10 is helpful for people who often suffer from fatigue after middle age.
