Vitamin Recommendations?

Hi all, I'm hoping you lovely people can recommend the best thing for me to buy.

I'm 44, a single mum (to 2 teens and an adult son, so no babies or young kids) working full time in a demanding job, and im drained and tired. Definitely don't get enough sleep tbh, but I feel tired all the time. I do take multi vits, but I'd rather buy specific vitamins/supplements to target the tiredness.

Also, I find myself regularly getting red patches in the corners of my lips, these sometimes itch/burn. Could this also be related to a vitamin deficiency?

I will make a doctor's appointment if this carries on, but thought id see if I could make a difference myself first.

Thankyou!

I think trouble at the corners of the lips is linked to iron deficiency. If you are unusually tired for you, you really should go to the GP sooner rather than later anyway and they'll probably check your iron levels.

I'm not much of a believer in extra nutrients as a "boost" and suspect that if it turns out you are not iron deficient, what you probably need is "vitamin sleep".
