(*B means half hour before meals)
Sloane shows a good variety of healthy energy boosters, which strengthen the Adrenals:
Bee pollen *B (may be allergenic), Carnitine *B, Licorice root, or a good quality Panax Ginseng, B Vitamins (such as in Rice Bran), Schisandra, Nettle leaf, Rhodiola, Eleuthero, Amla *B, Passion flower, Lycium, Jiaogulan.

_So avoiding coffee in the first place would be a great start. This way the adrenals would have a better chance to naturally maintain energy levels. If a little extra boost is needed then they could use something like bee pollen, licorice root or a good quality Panax ginseng.

_Pollen and carnitine are both good choices for energy. Pollen is high in B vitamins for energy and is the richest herbal source of pantothenic acid for adrenal support. Start out slow with it though to make sure you are not allergic. And if you ever change pollen sources start out slow again since you can be allergic to one pollen and not another. Carnitine helps move fatty acids into the mitochondria to be used as a fuel, which increases cellular energy production. Both are best taken on an empty stomach [with some water].

_Caffeine stimulates the release of epinephrine (adrenaline), which gives us that stimulant effect. But the body only produces small amounts of epinephrine at a time, and is only supposed to be released in small amounts on occasion. When we are constantly stimulating epinephrine release with stimulants our epinephrine stores get used up and our energy levels crash. When they take the coffee they stimulate the release of the tiny amount of epinephrine remaining leaving insufficient levels of epinephrine to give them energy, so they go to sleep.
_This is a bad thing as the adrenals regulate so many things in the body.

_Then there are also other factors that affect energy levels. Thyroid function is one. And women tend to be a lot more prone to hypothyroidism than men. So this could be a factor. Liver function is a factor. Diet is a factor. Red blood cell levels and function are a factor. How we utilize our fats will play a role. Again people who do radical exercise will have systems that will spare glycogen and burn fat more efficiently, which is the best fuel source for the body. They also utilize oxygen more efficiently.

Schisandra is not a central nervous system stimulant, but it can increase energy due to its supportive effect on the adrenals.  It blends really well with the Chinese licorice root.

_All adaptogens technically reduce cortisol levels. The reason for this is that cortisol is primarily released during times of mental stress, including pain. Adaptogens strengthen the adrenals, which reduces stress responses and reduces inflammation. Therefore the adaptogens help to reduce the over release of cortisol from the adrenals. ... The nutrition your adrenals need [are] Vitamin C and pantothenic acid in particular.
_Nettle leaf is milder, but excellent for so many things in the body. It is also a good vitamin C and B vitamins [energy] source.

_Ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen, a class of herbs that help lower cortisol levels, enhance immune function, and reduce anxiety, insomnia and depression. “Adaptogens are herbs that help the body and mind adapt to physical, emotional and environmental stressors.... Adaptogens work on many body systems at once, including the immune system and nervous system. ... In some cases, they can be energizing (but not necessarily stimulating), and in other cases, they can be calming (but not necessarily sedating)."
_... Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) ... exerts an anti-fatigue effect that increases mental performance, particularly the ability to concentrate, and decreases cortisol response to stress in patients with fatigue syndrome.6 Rhodiola also helped reduce mental fatigue in students during the stressful period of exam week.7
_... Schisandra affords a stress-protective effect against a broad spectrum of harmful factors, and increases endurance and accuracy of movement, mental performance and working capacity.10 Other adaptogens include Asian ginseng, ... eleuthero, ... amla, ... passion flower ... and lycium....
_... Chinese licorice root is calming, while American licorice root is stimulating, i.e. energizing.

_... I have never used rhodiola. When it first came out many years ago it was several thousand dollars a kilo from the raw material suppliers. ... There are so many great adaptogenic herbs that I knew worked fantastic, such as jiaogulan and schisandra berry, that I saw no reason to pay the excessive price for the rhodiola [but the price is lower now].
