Low energy levels can be due to a wide variety of causes so it is important to consider a visit to your physician for a check up if it has been a while. A few things to consider would be iron deficiency anemia (most common in menstruating females), poor vitamin B12 status (common in the elderly), chronic fatigue syndrome (possibly related to EBV or CMV associated with chronic mono), poor thyroid function ("hypothyroidism")...just to name the most common causes. Certainly, other more serious medical conditiions can be associated with fatigue which is why a check up with your doc is important.
Other lifestyle factors to consider: chronic inadequate sleep (can even be due to sleep apnea), sedentary lifestyle (walking even just 20 minutes a day can improve overall energy levels in folks!), and poor diet (fruits, vegetable and whole grains are very important for supplying nutrients for generating energy that can only be partially replaced with vitamin supplements). Stress can also wear down our energy reserves.
Now for the "short" answer: Try a B complex but be sure to take with food. If doing that along with any pertinent lifestyle changes doesn't seem to make a difference, consider a check up with your doc for the above possible underlying conditions. DO NOT supplement with iron without first checking with a physician as too much iron in the diet can be harmful to your health. There are also a significant number of herbs called "adaptogens" that can help with energy without being overtly stimulating like caffeine.
If you are interested in pursuing this further, I recommend finding a licensed naturopathic doctor near you . Use the physician finder on the following website: www.naturopathic.org.

Explain why humans obtain limiting energy from eating lettuce?
As lettuce's molecular structure is mainly made up of water (H2O), humans are unable to obtain energy, nor vitamins and nutrients from that source of food. As well as being made up of mainly water, lettuce, is a plant of cellulase. Therefore, humans need a more adequate source of food to help the body maintain its energy levels
Dieting and Supplemental Vitamins?
The best kind of supplement vitamins are the all-in-one types that provide all essential vitamins and minerals. If you are eating nutritious foods you may not even need to supplement with vitamins.
