We hear it from customers all the time.  "I can't remember the last time I got sick!" or "I get sick a lot less often now." 

Customers often share with us that they get sick less often (and recover faster if they do get sick) when they take our clinical level micronutrients, Daily Essential Nutrients.

The body's immune system is strengthened when supplementing properly, and it takes more than just vitamin C. In order to thrive, the body requires all the essential nutrients, not just some. Supplementing properly matters - and it can make all the difference when fighting off sickness.

In this video, several Hardy Nutritionals® customers share their feedback about how using Daily Essential Nutrients does more than benefit their moods.

"Normally I would be sick from October to March. This year, I've maybe had a little bit of a sore throat.  That's it.  Like one time."  - Tamara, stay-at-home mom & grandma

"It's easy to catch things from individuals when in close proximity, and I don't seem to get sick too often, so there's got to be something with it." - Roger, airline pilot

"I get sick less often, I have more energy throughout the day and it's not jittery energy." - Jordan, attorney

"I find also I don't get sick nearly as often as I used to." - Tom, engineer

"What I noticed when I started taking the full therapeutic dose was not only did my cold go away faster but that's when I noticed I was sleeping really well at night." - Erica, office worker

"I was just really blown away when I discovered Hardy Nutritionals Daily Essential Nutrients, because they had every ingredient that I was looking for and sure enough it was clinically researched and it's a very high-quality product."
- Ivy Larson, author of several nutrition books

Supplementing Properly Matters

According to a study published in Frontiers in Medicine, "of all dietary supplements, vitamin C is the only one for which the most commonly reported motivation for its use...is 'to boost immune system, prevent cold'". A 2013 review of 29 trials which involved more than 11,300 people found "no consistent effect of vitamin C ... on the duration or severity of colds," and yet Vitamin C is the standard supplement people turn to when they start to feel sick.  At Hardy Nutritionals, we are not surprised by this news.  We believe in broad-spectrum supplementing, using a balanced combination of all the essential vitamins and minerals together, rather than just one at a time.

Using just one vitamin or mineral at a time can actually throw off your micronutrient balance and rob you of the full benefits of supplementing.  In an award-winning textbook published by the APA, researchers commented that, "At least 10, preferably more (25 or so) vitamins and minerals" were key to staying balanced.  "A broader range of micronutrients is more likely to provide more pervasive changes..." the authors wrote.

“Adjusting a single micronutrient may not have much impact because micronutrients typically act together... many enzymes have cofactors, so adjusting one may have little effect; and treating with a single micronutrient can be disruptive by creating imbalances..."

That's why our Daily Essential Nutrients and Optimal Balance formulations focus on providing a synergistic level of all the vitamins and minerals the body needs to function.  When the body gets all the nutrients it needs, it can fight off infection and bounce back faster from viruses.  

The broad-spectrum approach to supplementing is not new. In fact, there have been studies done which found that not only did the use of clinical levels of micronutrients help with overall health, they were able to find relief from serious stress associated with natural disasters that affected entire populations of people in specific regions.  One such study, entitled "Shaken but unstirred? Effects of micronutrients on stress and trauma after an earthquake: RCT evidence comparing formulas and doses", found that by taking a predecessor version† of Daily Essential Nutrients, study participants who had survived a massive earthquake in New Zealand were significantly improved in the areas of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms compared to those in the control group.

Another similar study looked at the impact on people with ADHD who supplemented with the broad-spectrum micronutrients after surviving a 7.1 magnitude earthquake.  During a time when stress and anxiety would typically cause a major disruption in the lives of people with ADHD, those who participated in the study "were more resilient to the effects of the earthquake" compared to the control group not taking the supplement.

When dealing with mental health, illness, fatigue or stress, be sure you are supplementing properly to get the best results. Both Daily Essential Nutrients, our clinical strength broad-spectrum micronutrients and Optimal Balance, our regular strength micronutrients can both provide the nutritional support necessary to support balanced health.
