Anything I could take to raise energy levels?

    As a parent of 3 young children who also works shifts, I often find myself lacking in energy.

    I do try to eat a good balanced diet, but obviously my sleep patterns could probably be better, but thats out of my hands at the minute.

    I was wondering if there's anything I should be eating or supplements I should be taking to help, even if it only helps a little bit. Would the likes of ginseng or those Berocca type things serve any purpose at all?

    I found that cutting out all refined sugars and introducing more protein to my diet gave me more energy.

    No, not really. Your overall diet and sleep is more important. Also, if you aren't getting enough energy from food a stimulant will only mask the issue until you crash. Do what NickyL said and see how you feel.
