Start Before Brushing Your Teeth: Your Morning Prep Ritual

I used to grab my phone the second I got out of bed, and down a warm cup of coffee before my feet even hit the floor. The 3 PM brain fog was absolutely debilitating. Then, I changed just 10 minutes of my morning, focusing on a small supplement ritual — and the difference in my energy levels throughout the entire morning and afternoon was night and day. Below are the morning hacks I’ve tested (along with countless Himiyer users) and proven to work:

1. First Drink of the Morning: Water with Himiyer Ashwagandha & Lemon Balm Drops

Don’t touch your phone. First, drink a glass of warm water with Himiyer Ashwagandha and Lemon Balm Drops. This 8 fl oz of room-temperature water not only rapidly rehydrates your body after 7-9 hours of sleep, but also delivers natural adaptogens to help ease morning grogginess. Plus, the added Lemon Balm helps you stay calm and focused throughout your morning.

Pro Tip: I keep the drops on my nightstand for easy access right when I wake up, saving time and hassle.

2. Wait 15-20 Minutes Before Coffee or Breakfast

Let the adaptogens take effect first, avoiding dilution from other foods or beverages, to maximize their morning efficacy. I usually use this window to stretch, open the windows for fresh air, or set a small intention for the day.

3. Breakfast Hack: Infuse Your Favorite Morning Meal with Himiyer Supplements

Breakfast marks the start of your day. My go-to is always oatmeal with berries and almond butter — now, adding Himiyer supplements makes it even more nutrient-dense, to better support my morning energy and focus. Here are our perfect pairing recommendations:

• Oatmeal / Yogurt Bowl: Add 1 scoop of Himiyer Maca Root Powder, or Spirulina + Chlorella Blend. The nutty, sweet notes of maca pair perfectly with berries, while spirulina blends seamlessly into green smoothies or matcha oatmeal. Don’t worry — paired with banana or honey, you’ll barely notice the “green” flavor.
• Smoothie: Add 1 scoop of Himiyer Vitality Greens Blend, plus 1 capsule of Himiyer Vitamin D3+K2 (simply open the capsule and pour the contents directly into your smoothie). This turns your everyday smoothie into a nutrient-packed energy powerhouse.
• Whole-Grain Toast: Spread a layer of Himiyer Turmeric + Black Pepper Honey on your toast, then top with avocado and sea salt. Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric, giving your energy levels a natural boost.

4. Beat Afternoon Slump Without That Second Cup of Coffee

• Himiyer Energy Gummies: These gummies are formulated with green tea extract (for gentle, sustained caffeine release) and B-Vitamins (to support healthy energy metabolism). They’re the perfect replacement for traditional coffee, helping you avoid the anxiety and energy crash that come with excess caffeine intake in the afternoon.
• 5-Minute Walk + Himiyer Ginseng & Ginger Drops: Every afternoon, I take a 5-minute walk and drink a glass of water with Himiyer Ginseng and Ginger Drops. This boosts blood circulation, keeps your energy levels steady, and keeps that midday drowsiness at bay.

5. Nighttime Wind-Down: Let Your Sleep Fuel Tomorrow’s Energy

• Turn Off All Screens: 30 minutes before bed, step away from your phone, computer, or TV. Replace them with a book, candles, and soft music to ease your body and mind into relaxation.
• Himiyer Magnesium Glycinate + L-Theanine Drops: This blend helps relax your muscles and nervous system, and calms your mind. Pair it with chamomile tea for a restful night’s sleep, so you can recharge and restore your energy during deep sleep.

Summary: How to Build Your Own Morning Ritual

With these simple morning and nighttime rituals, you can boost your daytime energy, reduce afternoon slumps and evening anxiety, and infuse every day with natural, sustainable energy. Whether it’s through Himiyer’s adaptogen drops, or by incorporating our supplements into your breakfast, these small changes are powerful ways to elevate your quality of life.
