obbbbviiooous. I'm talkin' path of least resistance please, chuckle.I got BBQ to eat tonight, Watson! Lol
Has anyone found a commonly available source of energy that is not caffeine?
Don't get nutty, people. keep it legal now, come on chuckle chuckle... but seriously... I do NOT LIKE COFFEE. I love coffee for 1 hour, then I hate the fast crash and need for more. So I generally do not drink coffee. I love tea, and drink a lot of it. No...
Yes I drink a lot of strong black tea which I enjoy very much BUT
curious if beyond tea or coffee... keeping it legal... what else are people using? Anything unusual or exotic (LEGAL) we may all benefit from?
Mulberries. Seriously, Mostel . . .
. . . if you plant a mulberry tree in the back yard, you'll have so much energy you'll forget to thank me. I've eaten mulberries while picking them off of Uncle Jake's tree, and the feeling is akin to what a supercharger does for an engine. Of course, tha...
Art, are you being serious?
You sound serious but the subject seems to make people humorous.
Absolutely. Go to a nursery that has mulberry trees . . .
. . . and try for yourself.

Push-ups. Something I learned in high school while studying through the night.
When I felt I was dozing off I would do 30-50 push ups and then 10-20 burpees. That got the heart pumping and blood flowing.
I've heard of this. I will look further into it.
B complex never did a thing for me, but am I missing something?
B complex
Does work for me. Anecdotal evidence, sample size of 1, me! It has a positive effect on my workouts, clear difference between days I've taken it or not taken it. That said, fairly large dose, enough to turn my urine a bright yellow. And it might just be a...
Not sure where you are located
But in the States we have 5 Hour Energy which does the trick for me. I mix it in with a sports drink like Gatorade and it has been a trusty companion for many all nighters.
Yeah I've tried 5 hr but they are commercial and artificial etc
Not for me. Looking for an exotic potentially organic alternative that we may not be aware of. thanks!
C4 carbonated energy drink!
Man, if I’m feeling beat. I take one and wow! It’s great before a work out too. It turns my 20 laps in the pool to an easy 40!
Chocolate, of course. At least 70% cocoa solids.
Good energy, great flavor! Below 70% cocoa solids, there's too much sugar and you get a crash. (A retired chemistry professor I know claims that 70% chocolate is "glycemically neutral;" I have not researched it personally.) My wife likes 85%, but that's t...
+1 on the chocolate...
my wife drinks chocolate brewed in a French press like coffee in the morning. It does not bother her the way coffee does and is a real pick-me-up in the morning.
Masala Chai
In india, we brew tea with honey, ginger cinnamon, black pepper, cloves and cardamom for 5 minutes. Its very refreshing and energizing drink. They say it keeps you safe from mamy coronavirus infections too.
I think we refer to this as a TONIC
which is like a shot of ginseng or that type thing, and it does help for 10-15 mins...
Interesting topic. My adrenaline level was so high due to my job I never needed stimulants.
Excessive adrenaline levels long term however are not healthy so I don't recommend that. Find something that gets you excited and take a five minute break to focus on it from time to time.
Have you tried ginseng root tea?
Lots of products claim to have ginseng. But I wonder how much is actually used. I use American ginseng and I take a few root slices and add to boiling water. Then I add honey to taste. I think it gives some energy and focus.
I have, no effect
Ginseng seems to be good in a mix with other lifitng herbs, but ....
