Anyone ever tried them, or have any recommendations?

I'm a coffee addict, but I'm aware that this is entirely mental, and that caffeine eventually depresses your nervous system. Do natural energy supplements exist, or are they all bastardized chemical conglomerates like HydroxyCut?

I don't know, but I've heard good things about TrimSpa. I mean, look at Anna.

ha ha @ kfc chicken

those herbal energy things, diet pills etc are usually ephedra-- not a good thing to consume daily.

best drink all around is green tea-- makes your nervous system "hard" (ha ha) yet keeps you calm and focus throughout the process, unlike coffee. plus excellent health benefits etc.

I've tried green tea before, and while I do generally feel better if I drink that rather than coffee, it hasn't got enough kick to it.

Doesn't hoodia supposedly have some kind of energy-boosting property? Where are all the skinny bitches on this board?

Guaranine get me going, but don't be mistaken, it's caffeine.

nonsense, depends on how much you drink. obviously a little cuppa is not going to do it if you're hooked on espressos. i drink a small teapot with 4 bags for breakfast and then 4 more at mid morning-- brewed like it should be. or i'll make 8 bags of english breakfast instead. now estimate 6-8 oz of water per cup. that takes care of thirst too for the most part.

but if you're just looking for something to make your kidneys bleed, just say it

--

ps of course guarana has caffeine, that's the whole point. same as with yerba mate.
pps - in the long term ginseng will give "da ladies" a nice fuzzy moustache. but the female equivalent (minus the undesirable increased testosterone production) is dong quai, available in many a hippy market.

Physical exercise will ensure that your blood circulates properly, which in turn feeds your brain the oxygen it needs.

I would never dream of exchanging coffee for something else.

I don't really care WHAT it does to me in the long run, but it's hard being a caffeine-junky when the coffee pot is right by yr desk (I don't even have to get up).

i took fiber pills from Holland & Barrats for a while, totally fucked up my stomach though. Made me feel sick when i did actually eat real food and you had to take like 6 to get them to work. Thats the only herbal type thing ive ever taken. I try to avoid coffee and red bull etc, caffeine makes me anxious, really really anxious.

just get some kleenex and you'll be fine.

I've got a bit of an issue with sharing a snorting apparatus with others (does such a thing have a proper name?).

Not that I have a coke problem. Just sayin'.

hm, there's something of an oxymoron there but i can't quite put my finger on it...

oh yes, but of course-- it's the "illegal drugs" and "responsibly" bit that is really just wishful thinking.

ha ha, well, just clarifying for some fools who might take these things seriously... the things i've read in this board, over the years! makes you worry about the future of the species.

but anyway, let's carry on with truncky's vegetable treats, or whatever she's looking for.

OOOH-- i just thought of something (serious this time)

fatigue can be caused by depleted adrenal glands-- instead of overstimulating them (like coffee does) you can restore/replenish the little shits with things such as licorice root or licorice tea. obviously im not talking about disney products here but good herbal exctracts etc.

well i'll need to make breakfast soon. have fun.
