What else can I take to improve my health?
I am currently taking Gaia Herbs: Adrenal Health (which contains Holy Basil and Rhodiola root),Krill Oil, L-Lysine and Centrum Ultra Women's Multivitamin. I also take the Paradise Herbs Green power that I mix with my juice
Any other suggestion for me to take to improve myself. I have a low immune system and taking all my vitamins have helped. However, I still can't find the energy to get up most time in the morning. (I am college student and I also supervise overnight at a shelter. So my stress level can be high at times, any suggestion for anything else that will improve myself (maybe also the dark undereye circle I have and my hair).
Thanks

I don’t really know anything about the herbs that you are taking. The Centrum looks like it’s a good multivitamin to take. If you are looking for a way to boost your immune system then I would suggest taking Vitamin C. Although the multivitamin has some it may not be enough. Take between 500 and 1000 mg. Only take more than that if you are actually sick. Anything over 2000mg a day for long periods of time can have negative effects.
You have a lot going on with school and the shelter – when do you sleep! Not getting enough sleep will take a major toll on you! You need on average 8 hours of complete sleep a night, not broken up into a few hours here and there. That’s what usually causes the dark circles.
I’m sorry I don’t have more suggestions for you and wish you lots of luck with all the work you are doing.
