Lack of sleep is not the only factor involved if you are constantly tired. Its normal to go through phases when you feel tired often and normally we can blame work, relationship issues, bereavement, a new baby, stress, poor mental health or too many late nights. If you dont see any reason why youd be tired, you could be vitamin deficient.Express.co.ukreveals the best five supplements to take if youre tired all the time.
If you cant put your finger on why youre so tired, the fatigue could be a result of vitamin deficiency.
Although there's no evidence that taking extra vitamins and minerals will give you extra energy, being deficient in specific vitamins and minerals can result in excessive tiredness.
Express.co.ukreveals the best five supplements to take if youre tired all the time.
Vitamin B12 is needed in the body to produce healthy red blood cells, so if youre low in Vitamin B12 you could become anaemic.
When youre anaemic, you dont have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to your bodys tissues.
This makes you feel tired and weak and no amount of sleep can fix it.
The best way to get B12 in your diet is to eat meat, eggs, fish, shiitake mushrooms and dairy products.
It becomes harder to absorb B12 as you get older or have specific illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease.
If youre vegan or vegetarian youre more likely to be low in B12, and you can take Vitamin B12 in supplement form or via injection.

One in five Brits have low Vitamin D levels, so your tiredness could well be blamed by low levels of the vitamin.
If you dont have enough Vitamin D, your bone and muscle strength will be poor and youll have a higher risk of poor musculoskeletal health such as rickets, osteomalacia and falls.
Your body can produce the vitamin itself when your skin comes into contact with sunlight, but there arent many ways to get it through food.
Vitamin D can be found in tuna, salmon and fortified products such as milk, orange juice and cereals, but the easiest way to make sure you get enough vitamin D is step outside for 15 to 20 minutes a day.
Alternatively, you can take vitamin D supplements to boost your energy, immunity and strength.

Vitamin C cant be made by the body, making it an essential part of the diet.
This vitamin is essential for the health and repairs of your skin, bone, teeth and cartilage.
Fatigue is one of the earliest signs of Vitamin C deficiency, alongside red gums, easy bruising and bleeding, joint pain and bumpy skin.
It is predicted that 25 percent of men and 16 percent of women in low-income or materially deprived populations have extremely low Vitamin C levels.
Youre more likely to be deficient in Vitamin C if youre on a very restrictive diet, dependent on drugs or alcohol, smoke, or have a medical condition that affects the bodys ability to digest and absorb food such as Crohns disease.
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, cant be made by the body and must be taken in by eating foods rich in the vitamin.
You need Vitamin A for healthy skin, muscle building, healthy eyes and vision and to fight off infections.
Your body rebuilds muscles constantly and uses Vitamin A to do so, so you will feel fatigued if your body doesnt have enough of it.
Stock up on milk, eggs, fish-liver oils, carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, mangoes and pistachios, or take supplements to top up on Vitamin A.
