Hardy Nutritionals® Daily Essential Nutrients (DEN) is indicated for the treatment of mood and behavioral symptoms. The effect of predecessor formulations of DEN in the treatment of mental, emotional, and cognitive dysregulation across a wide range of central nervous system-related diagnoses* has been documented in more than 20 case-control studies, within-subject crossover case studies, open-label case series, case reports, two database analyses, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Significant evidence exists to indicate that a wide range of mood, anxiety, and behavioral symptoms can result from inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals and/or poor nutrient status.28 Pervasive improvement across such a wide range of symptoms and disorders with DEN therapy suggests that micronutrients may be addressing physiological root causes of central nervous system aberrations, regardless of diagnostic differentiations.
Sub-optimal micronutrient status can compromise physiological functioning and increase symptoms of many disorders through a variety of mechanisms.
50 genetic disorders…can be treated by simply increased dietary consumption of micronutrients” (Ames et al. 2002). Ames showed that micronutrient deficiencies can increase oxidative damage to nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA leading to metabolic changes in multiple organ systems, chronic inflammation, neuronal deterioration & accelerated aging. Research on rats (Ames 2010) showed these changes to be reversible after vitamin-like treatment.
Daily Essential Nutrients (Hardy Nutritionals) and EMPowerplus (Truehope Nutritional Support) are the only two formulations fulfilling all desirable characteristics of Broad Spectrum Micronutrient Formulations.
They stand apart from all other products (in the opinion of the Authors of Chapter 6: Single & Broad-Spectrum Micronutrient Treatments in Psychiatric Practice, C. Popper M.D., B Kaplan Ph.D & J Rucklidge , Ph.D, C. Psych. In (Reference P. Gerbarg, P. Muskin & R Brown, Complementary and Integrative Treatments in Psychiatric Practice, First Edition , Arlington VA: American Psychiatric Association Publishing (2017)), because of their high product quality and psychiatric research examining their safety and effectiveness.
Not all supplements are created equal, and they don’t perform equally either and here’s why:
Daily Essential Nutrients (Hardy Nutritionals) outperforms other supplements because it contains every essential vitamin and mineral, including 17 minerals, 13 vitamins, and 8 other value-added ingredients. Together, these ingredients fortify the body against stress, depression, and anxiety.
Osteopathy is based on the founding premise that the body can heal itself. People consult osteopaths to aid the healing process so they can help remove mechanical blocks restricting healing. For example an imbalance of tension somewhere in the body or the osteopath helps increase blood flow to the area to aid healing.
But what if one of the blocks to healing was the lack of the “building blocks” that make up the parts of the body itself?
Here’s an analogy: If I wanted to make a rainbow coloured Lego house or Minecraft house and I’ve only got red & yellow blocks I won’t succeed. This is where Daily Essential Nutrients comes in- It is literally the equivalent of every rainbow block colour you will ever need, in the perfect balance to build your ideal metaphorical Lego or Minecraft house, plus a few other special blocks.
In addition, this perfect balance of block colours is made readily available to the body. (No need to go mining or go to ToysRUs & come back empty handed… OK, enough of the Lego & Minecraft metaphors)!
The body can heal itself but it needs the right ingredients to make everything it needs from muscle tissue to neurons to neurotransmitters.
In the case of ADHD and neuro developmental delay disorder, one of the main problems is within the brain. There is an imbalance between what the brain cells are made of and also the way the brain nerve cells talk to each other with chemicals at gaps between brain cells.
Daily essential nutrients has been clinically proven in research trials to enhance this brain function. With all the different “colours” of nutrients readily available the brain can therefore produce all of the correct types & amounts of cells & neurotransmitters to do their jobs as nature intended.
What makes daily essential nutrients superior to other supplements part 1 completeness.
If the ingredients in a supplement are not in proper balance, it could be less effective than taking a supplement at all – and even create problems.
The critical ratio of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium is a good example. If you supplement calcium to solve bone issues without also supplementing phosphorus and magnesium in proper balance, you won’t solve the bone issues. In fact, you may actually create osteoporosis. So, balance of nutrients is a critical issue, and simply having 100% of the RDA of each nutrient, like many supplements on the market, is not ideal. Nutrients must be in optimal balance with other key ingredients to be truly effective.
What makes daily essential nutrients superior to other supplements part 2 quality nutrient balance.
Daily Essential Nutrients (Hardy Nutritionals) has High bio-availability. Using Chelation & micronized minerals with specialized organic molecules to maximize mineral absorption and delivery to body cells. Meaning your body can naturally & easily absorb & use the micronutrients. Unlike many and perhaps most shop bought supplements that are poorly utilized by your body because they contain the rock form of minerals.
After watching the 3 part Webinar from MIA Continuing Medical Education Series sponsored by the Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care (FEMHC) to bolster my training from Hardy Nutritional Scientists to successfully qualify as a practitioner on their health professional locator.
I was compelled to write the following in the comments box below the webinars…
“Knowledge is power. I will be sharing this knowledge with my Osteopathic patients, family & friends. Two of the founding principles of Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy was: structure governs function & the body is its own medicine chest. Osteopaths look for the root cause of a problem & help the patient heal themselves by removing the block(s) to healing. Not having Essential micronutrient supplies in the diet & therefore not flowing around the body & brain is a major block. If a structure in the body or brain is different to normal or a metabolic pathway is interfered with because of a micronutrient deficiency is it any wonder the function of that body part will be changed for the worse? With enzyme cofactors or neurotransmitter production impaired we see mood disordered & ADHD for example. The body has an inherent ability to heal itself from almost all but the most severe illnesses or injuries. But the body cannot produce its own perfect, correctly formed, self-healing “medicine chest” out of thin air. It requires Ingredients in the form of all vital micronutrients, proteins etc. Thank you for putting the supporting science backing the ancient Osteopathic philosophy”.
“Micronutrient therapy is clinically proven to reduce anxiety & stress after natural disasters & help PTSD sufferers. Therefore, I will be recommending my Osteopathic patients who have had a traumatic birth experience or divorce etc. to supplement their diets with micronutrients.
This is why...
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Why wait to have mental health issues after a traumatic life event before giving your body the ingredients it needs to successfully heal & maintain itself. (An Osteopathic founding principle from A.T.Still was: the body is its own medicine chest - it can heal itself from all but the most traumatic of illnesses or injuries). But you can’t bake a cake without the ingredients & your body can’t make metabolic enzymes etc without essential micronutrients either.
Current farming methods leave our diet lacking in essential nutrients. Taking antidepressants for post natal depression for example would put unwanted medication into the breast milk & therefore into the babies fed by a lactating mother. But by taking micronutrients instead of medication both the mother & baby would benefit from optimal nutrition with no side effects from medication. It’s a win-win!
Thanks to Dr Kaplan & Dr Rucklidge for your pioneering research during natural disasters in 2011 & 2015 that proves there is a healthier, natural way to help overcome depression, anxiety & stress in stressful life events.
So, bearing in mind that one of the founding principles of Osteopathy laid down by Andrew Taylor Still is” Structure Governs Function”…
Hardy gives a simple analogy to illustrate the power of this new, synergistic, multi-nutrient approach that a growing number of healthcare professionals are applying with great success.
In this analogy, a dam represents the human body. If there are no deficiencies in the dam, the dam holds water and functions as it should. If there are no deficiencies in the body, it too will function as it should.
