Energy
Energy compounds split into three groups: stimulants (fast onset, tolerance builds, crash risk), mitochondrial support (slow accumulation, no tolerance, genuinely improves cellular energy production), and adaptogens (remove energy drain from chronic stress). Stimulants deliver the fastest subjective effect but are most prone to tolerance and dependency cycles.
