[panhedonic]

Hi,

A good friend of mine complains of low energy/stamina. He's in his late forties, healthy, in his right weight. I already recommended the basic vits and ALA-ALCAR, but it wasn't enough for him. He needs to feel more vital and needs the energy. He's doing some cardio, but probably not enough to feel the benefits.

I'd rather not recommend any pharmaceuticals, as I think he wouldn't go for that.

What's a sustainable regimen for improving his situation? . (I'm looking to give him something longer lived than caffeine, rhodiola, etc, more of a systemic, base thing)

His thyroids are OK.

Thanks much for all the help!!

Rhodiola Rosea and perhaps OTC testosterone support? LEF Male hormone panel would tell you whether his hormones are out of whack or not.

potassium and b12

What I'll tell him so far (in addition to a base of vits he's already taking)

TMG
DHEA+nettle leaf (10mg/day)
Ginkgo
Panax Ginseng
DLPA (or phenilalanine?)
Beta-alanine (for conversion to carnosine)
ALCAR
Ocassional Rhodiola
Occasional L-tyrosine
Green-tea extract.

Anything else? he wants to feel more energetic overall.
