Functional foods are all the rage these days. You’ve likely seen these words on products in the grocery store or being advertised online. Many of these products come with promises of better health and claim to solve problems like low energy, poor libido, high stress, anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness. So, what makes a food functional? The Mayo Clinic defines functional food as “…foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond nutrition.”.
Energy is precious these days. It is the other energy crisis facing this nation, one that many people try to solve with caffeine. Caffeine not only gives energy but also increases motivation and focus, which is one reason why many people drink coffee in the morning.

What if there were a way to get these qualities faster than drinking coffee or taking an energy pill? Caffeine energy gummies are the answer. In this article, we’ll discuss what caffeine is, how the body absorbs it from drinks, pills, and capsules, and how it’s absorbed in gummy form.

A good night’s sleep is important for having enough energy and staying healthy. About 70 million Americans suffer from some sort of chronic sleep disorder. While it might sound trivial to those that can sleep well, sleeplessness is connected to injuries, chronic diseases, mental illnesses, lower quality of life and general wellbeing, increased health care costs, and lost work productivity.
Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland, which lies right above the brain stem, or base of the brain. As light levels lower, the body naturally produces melatonin, which tells the body that it’s time to sleep. Many people use melatonin to combat insomnia and general sleeplessness. Doctors recommend a low dose of melatonin, and it should not be used for healthy children. A long-term side effect of melatonin use in children is the suppression of sex hormones. Melatonin is considered safe for adults, with side effects of high doses including dizziness, headaches, nausea, and sleeplessness.
Sleep is a valuable commodity these days. For many reasons, some of us struggle with sleep. There are the obstacles, like work or family, that prevent us from getting enough hours of sleep. However, there’s the issue of quality of sleep, with many of us waking feeling even more exhausted than when we went to bed. This can be frustrating on many levels. Sleep is essential for energy and overall health, and there’s nothing more difficult than knowing what to do to solve problems in your life, like a lack of energy and being unable to do it.
