The final say
It’s usual to feel a little run down at times. First, check you’re getting all the vitamins, nutrients and energy from your food that you need and that you’re getting enough sleep.
Speak to your GP before taking any new nootropic supplements or if you’ve been feeling unusually tired for a while and lifestyle changes aren’t helping.
