Hardy Nutrtitionals Optimal Balance for Women - formerly called Daily Self Defense™ For Women is unlike any other women’s supplement. It’s an exceptional combination of scientifically-balanced vitamins, minerals, and botanicals specifically designed to prevent stress, depression, and anxiety, allowing you to look and feel your best. It also meets a women’s full daily requirement for iron and provides a positive estrogenic factor—royal jelly—to support healthy estrogen production.*
Optimal Balance™ is an excellent daily multivitamin for adults and children who don't need the clinical levels found in Daily Essential Nutrients. See below for a recent study that showed how Optimal Balance as Daily Self Defense™ greatly improved sleep quality in individuals suffering with insomnia. Optimal Balance™ is powered by Hardy Nutritionals' proprietary NutraTek™ mineral-delivery technology which enables vital nutrients to be optimally absorbed and efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier—delivering mind-clearing and mood-enhancing effects that other supplements can’t match.*
For ages 9 and older, take 3 capsules in the middle of a meal, twice daily. Children ages 4-8 may take 3 capsules per day.
At the recommended adult dose (6 capsules/day), a bottle of Daily Self Defense™ - For Women lasts 30 days.
Note: Optimal Balance for Women/Daily Self Defense™ - For Women was formulated specifically for general health use. Individuals with specific health concerns see more complete results with Hardy Nutritionals™ Daily Essential Nutrients, which provides higher levels of minerals. For example, based on research studies, individuals suffering from mood and anxiety-related disorders such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD, and anxiety disorders would require Daily Essential Nutrients.
Optimal Balance™ - For Women is a result of more than 15 years of extensive research into physical and cognitive health. The proprietary NutraTek™-enhanced mineral delivery technology combines each mineral with organic molecules—just like nature—to optimize absorption and distribution to body cells. As a result, Optimal Balance™ - For Women produces benefits never before seen with conventional products.*
‡Optimal Balance™ is designed for general health use and is your daily self defense against chronic illness and stress. Daily Essential Nutrients is recommended for individuals experiencing serious mood and anxiety-related disorders.*
University researchers found that Optimal Balance™ (formerly known as Daily Self Defense™) significantly improved sleep problems and stress in insomnia patients when taken at a dose of 6 capsules/day.
