Amino acids are known as the building blocks of proteins - which most people know are essential to their bodies for muscle development and physical strength. They are maybe less well known as essential for enzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters. Aminos come as either 'peptide-bound', where they are linked together to form proteins, or as 'free-form' where they are still individual, are readily absorbed, and can be assigned to different functions in the body.

We know from enquiries
that there are people who would like to try the clinical strength Daily Essential
Nutrients (DENs), our flagship micronutrient product for natural mental health,
but find the price of the 360 capsule regular bottle a bit of a leap of
faith. So we are therefore delighted to
announce that we can now offer the capsules in a new, smaller, more affordable
size. Daily Essential Nutrients, is now available in a bottle containing
120 capsules, This is sufficient for a 10-14 day supply depending on whether
you start at the therapeutic recommended dosage of 12 capsules per day or build
up more slowly. With a price tag of only £43.00 this represents great
value.
The 360 capsule
size bottle of Daily Essential Nutrients contains a month’s supply at the full
clinical dose. For those who want to do a short trial of clinical
strength micronutrients, the 120 count DEN may be a good option to start with.
“I use Daily Essential Nutrients because I know
that they’re very high grade. And I only can say that because I noticed on day
three when I started taking them a year and a half ago, my depression started
to just dwindle away. My manic episodes just started to dissipate- literally.”
How could
micronutrients help you?
Take it from Orthomolecular Specialist Mel Litman,
M.D.,who offers Hardy’s Daily Essential Nutrients to patients of all
backgrounds.
“Daily Essential Nutrients were developed for psychiatry,
for brain issues. But I used them much broader than that. Because the nutrients
are so good for all the tissues in the body, I regularly use them for my cancer
patients, for my patients with autoimmune diseases. I found it very useful for
women with osteoporosis because it has such good levels of the minerals in
there. So I’ve been using it for a wide range of physical issues, aside from
the psychiatric ones,” Dr. Litman shares.
Erica, a PTSD survivor who has trouble sleeping,
discovered these essential micronutrients did more for her at night than
standard medications, without the side-effects.
“What I found taking Daily Essential Nutrients is that my
sleep has improved so much so that my other symptoms are alleviated throughout
the day. In fact, I’ve tried lots of other options, in terms of assisting with
sleep, including pharmaceutical interventions or alternative interventions, and
Daily Essential Nutrients has been the most profound effect that I’ve seen on
my sleep. For me, that’s the reason why I go to it every single day.”

There has
been a lot of publicity about the link between the gut and the brain, and the
importance to our health of the ‘microbiome’, sometimes called 'the second
brain'. The microbiome equates to the population of bacteria which are
responsible for many systems of the body. At its simplest, the ‘good
bacteria’ need to be able to get on top of and outnumber the ‘bad
bacteria’. As our world has grown ever more polluted and there is
over-use of antibiotics, which kill all the bacteria indiscriminately, the
amount of good bacteria available to our systems can get depleted. This
leaves us vulnerable to the spread of bad bacteria as they enter our bodies in
various ways, weakening our immune systems.
The good
bacteria are also responsible for the enzymatic breakdown of all our food so
that it is absorbable and useable by all the systems which depend on the right
nutrients. In fact many vital compounds are actually created by the good
bacteria in our gut. And there is evidence that some ‘bad bacteria’ and
some antibiotics’ side effects can themselves create mental imbalance - from
delusions to paranoia and insomnia (See the following article *for the research)
So the
importance of our gut microflora cannot be underestimated!

The above video gives some testimonials from people who have been using the broad spectrum vitamin-mineral formulation supplement Daily Essential Nutrients, or Optimal Balance, to maintain their health.
There is a great deal of emphasis in the current crisis on Vitamin C supplementation, and there are plenty of recommendations for high doses to combat ‘The Virus’.
So lets look at the reasons. According to a recent note sent out by the John Hopkins University, the Coronavirus has no live components, being a protein molecule (RNA) covered by a protective layer of fat, which when absorbed by mucosa cells mutates them into aggressor cells. Therefore it is the strength of the immunity of cells which might come under attack which prevents the disease taking hold ie our immune system.
The approach taken for doing this by Hardy Nutritionals, is broad spectrum supplementation ie taking a balanced combination of all the essential vitamins and nutrients together, along with support for the gut with good probiotics

With the world in a global pandemic, scientists are
quickly trying to learn more about the spreading of viruses. We know this
disease can spread easily from infected people when they cough, or sneeze. But we don’t have much data
about who the virus affects, or why there is a difference in the severity of
cases. Most importantly, researchers are still searching for a
cure. As people flock to buy masks, gloves and other personal
protective equipment, enlightened scientists have posed the question, what
about vitamin D?
