Good energy herbs?

[tylerdurden]

Whaddup? I'm looking for some good energy... for working out, biking, hiking... I know about coffee and guarana... but that's all and they're not doing it for me... Any advice?

From the top of my head in no specific order:

Yerba Mate
Guayusa
Catuaba
Coca leaf
Ma Huang
Sida Cordifolia
Mucuna Pruriens
Rhodiola Rosea
Kratom (green and white strains are generally best for energy)
Betel Nut
Kola Nut
Maca
Tea
Khat
Jatoba

I'm sure there are a lot more. Some nootropics also give great energy, if you're into that kind of thing.
Always first check legality and other details of anything you're planning to take.

Thanks... That's a nice list... I've had some experience with Kratom, but I mostly got the sedating effects... I should try some different strains then... Yerba mate and Ma Huang seem nice too... Gonna try em soon.

I would recommend Kratom (White or Green) on a lower dose so you get the energy instead of the good sedating feeling
