Energy

Why 3 pm happens

You know the feeling: lunch is over, the inbox is full, and your body quietly clocks out around three. You reach for coffee or something sweet, ride the spike, and crash again by four.

It is partly fuel, partly foundation

Blood sugar swings explain part of the dip. But steady energy also depends on the nutrients your cells use to turn food into fuel — the B vitamins, minerals and cofactors most of us are quietly short on.* A body running low on those runs low in the afternoon.

The steady-state fix

The fix is rarely more caffeine. It is giving your body the raw materials for steady energy production, every day, so 3 pm stops being a cliff.* A whole-food multivitamin taken consistently is the least glamorous and most reliable lever — which is exactly why VMG+ is one stick in your morning water.*

It will not feel like a jolt. It feels like the afternoon just … not falling off.*
