We’ve all got a lot of demands on our time these days. And let's face facts, as we get older, it gets harder and harder to generate and maintain the energy we need to get everything done. Often, we're left with the choice of downing another coffee to get a boost, or maybe grabbing a slender can of some type of energy drink with questionable ingredients. But you're not looking for just a jolt of jitters. You want real, sustained energy.

Thankfully, there's a range of quality options now available. Ones that are specially formulated from real, whole food ingredients that do your body good while providing you focus and clarity and maybe even a healthy buzz—all without the nasty side effects. Call it the “clean energy” options for your diet. From vitamin-rich water additives and tasty chews, to brain-boosting gum and grown-up versions of your favorite toaster pastry, there's something to suit anyone's taste and needs.
