For a better morning, certain supplements can help improve mood, energy, and cognitive function. Here's a list of some that have shown benefits:

1. Multivitamins: Multivitamins containing a range of B vitamins, as well as other vitamins and minerals, can help reduce stress and mild mental fatigue¹.
2. Melatonin: While primarily known for regulating sleep, melatonin can help improve sleep quality, which in turn can lead to better morning alertness².
3. Tryptophan: This amino acid, when consumed in the morning along with daytime bright light exposure, can enhance nocturnal melatonin secretion, leading to better quality sleep and improved morning mood³.
4. Caffeine: Widely known for increasing alertness and energy, caffeine can help improve mood and cognitive performance in the morning⁴.
5. Theacrine: Similar to caffeine, theacrine can enhance cognitive performance and mood, making it a good option for morning supplementation⁵.

Feel free to ask if you want product recommendations for any of these supplements.
