Fatigue
Supplements studied for fatigue.
Overview
Fatigue has several reviewed supplements with varying strength. Panax Ginseng (WA 68; medium effect size, very high evidence, medium trust; 11 studies) and Rhodiola (WA 68; medium effect size, high evidence, high trust) have medium evidence for reducing fatigue in chronic fatigue and stressful settings, though ginseng results are inconsistent and placebo effects may be strong.
Iron (WA 72; medium effect size, high evidence, very high trust) moderately reduces tiredness in adults with low iron without anemia over 4–12 weeks. Beta-Glucan (WA 64; medium effect size, medium evidence, high trust) lacks a summary in this batch. Quercetin (WA 32; very low effect size, low evidence, medium trust) showed no meaningful benefit.
