Maximize Your Nutrient Intake

Whether you’re working from home, commuting in the dark, or juggling busy routines, it’s important to maintain your vitamin and mineral intake to stay energized and balanced all winter long. Your body needs the right building blocks to make energy. During winter, you may want to give extra attention to nutrients that support metabolism, stress response, and nervous system function. If you eat a 100% organic, whole, natural, good quality food diet, it can be a very good source of vitamins and minerals---but if you’re like most of us, you’ll need to supplement daily to get everything you need each day.  Consider adding these key nutrients:

Build Lasting Energy with a Slow Release B Complex

B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 (folate) and B12 are essential for converting food into usable energy, supporting neurotransmitter production, protecting brain health and promoting cognitive function. Making sure your diet includes a full spectrum of B vitamins can help keep your energy production humming, in turn avoiding B vitamin-deficiency related problems, like persistent fatigue, brain fog, low mood and muscle weakness. 

We need to replenish B vitamins daily because the body has no way to store them (with the exception of vitamin B12). They’re also easily depleted by stress, diuretics like caffeine and alcohol, as well as certain medications. A slow-release B complex like Pure Lab’s Slow Release BioActive B Complex goes beyond an ordinary B Complex. This slow-release formulation creates sustained benefits that last twice as long as standard B complex formulations. Plus, it consists of fully activated B vitamins, which mean no further conversions are needed before your body can experience their energy-lifting benefits. Take one capsule with your breakfast and/or lunch. And don’t panic when you see your urine turn neon yellow, for up to 5 hours---it’s evidence that your B vitamins are all topped up.

Support Your Thyroid, Ignite Your Energy

The thyroid acts as the body’s internal metabolic thermostat, producing hormones that regulate how efficiently we convert nutrients into energy. When thyroid function is impaired by nutrient imbalances or dysfunctional immunity, it can make us feel unmotivated, foggy, low and heavy. When healthy, the thyroid supports steady metabolism, clear thinking, and stable mood.

Even without a diagnosed thyroid disorder, providing your thyroid with top-ups of the right nutrients can make a noticeable difference in daily energy and motivation. Key nutrients like iodine, zinc, selenium, and L-tyrosine are essential for producing and activating thyroid hormones, while copper helps maintain a healthy zinc-copper balance. Pure Lab’s ThyroPure delivers these nutrients in highly absorbable forms to help sustain optimal thyroid and immune function. And as a bonus, minerals like zinc and selenium are not just vital to energy metabolism; they’re also important to your immune function. Taking 2 capsules of ThyroPure daily, look for better energy, improved cold tolerance and motivation all winter long.

Find Cognitive Resilience with Adaptogens

Sometimes, mental sluggishness and lack of focus come from chronic over-stimulation, or “burning the candle at both ends”.  That’s where adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola can help. Adaptogens are plant-based compounds believed to help your body adapt to stress and support steady energy throughout the day. Although some individuals feel a difference almost immediately when they supplement them, the ashwagandha and rhodiola tend to work over a period of regular intake by gradually helping the body adapt to physical, mental and environmental stressors like cold weather.

By modulating the body’s stress response and regulating cortisol levels, adaptogens help prevent the energy crashes that come with mental and physical overexertion. Rhodiola in particular supports endurance and stamina, while ashwagandha promotes a calm and composed state in the face of stress—ideal for staying steady through demanding schedules as you begin the new year. The result is not a jolt of energy, but a smooth, sustained sense of mental clarity and physical vitality that helps you feel more grounded and capable, even on dark or low-motivation days. Pure Lab’s AdaptaPure is a combination of high-potency, standardized Sensoril ^® ashwagandha and rhodiola, plus l-theanine---to help you remain calm and composed for increased cognitive stress resilience. Just two capsule per day, taken in the morning and early afternoon, can help you stay sharp and energized through your afternoon, setting you up for a well-deserved evening of rest.
