Is there any kind of natural herb that gives you energy ?

I would like to find something that can perk me up for work in the morning, but i dont wanna take caffeine because i dont wanna crash on them, and have to work 8 more hours feeling like sh*t.

Iron-rich foods can wake you up
here are some iron rich foods
dark leafy green vegetables (such as spinach, kale, collards, bok choy)
brocolli
prune juice
dried fruits (incl. raisins, dates, prunes, figs, apricots)
shellfish, fish, and poultry
red meats
tofu
lentils & beans
bran flakes
sea vegetables


Here are some things to remember about iron and iron absorption:
Iron absorption is enhanced in the presence of Vitamin C, so make sure you're getting enough Vitamin C
Avoid caffine as much as possible, as it interferes with iron absorption
Avoid drinking excessive milk with meals to maximize iron absorption


Complex carbohydrates are also excellent energy boosters. The best sources of these are grain products and fruits.

Foods that provide fat are another good source of energy (Just make sure it is a "good fat", not saturated!). Some good sources of "good fats" are: nuts and nut butters, unrefined oils, such as olive oil, avacados, and cold water fish (salmon, for example).

Try AMP from ergopharm.

For me, L-Tyrosine enhances the effects of caffeine. It's pretty cheap at BulkNut, and it definately gives me a good kick in the ass and mental focus to slam the logbook.
