Essential Nutrients
Because rich nutrition is the
foundation of hormonal balance
Our Essential Nutrients provide optimal absorption and bioavailability from the purest ingredients. Three essential formulas are combined into a single convenient pack:
- Multivitamin/Mineral
- Essential Fatty Acids
- Calcium/Magnesium
In combination, these formulas work together to support both a healthy metabolism and hormonal balance in perimenopausal and menopausal women.
Multivitamin/Mineral
Our formula is a comprehensive, highly concentrated vitamin/mineral/trace element supplement containing more than 30 essential nutritional ingredients. We use only the purest, most hypoallergenic ingredients, and our product contains no yeast, corn, wheat, sugar or other sweeteners, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms, including six patented chelated nutrients. (Chelation is the process of attaching amino acids to mineral molecules so that they survive the digestive process and actually benefit the body.)
Essential Fatty Acids
An excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, our formula provides eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in their natural triglyceride form. A healthy balance of dietary omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids appears to be a prerequisite for normal immune function and helps counter the range of inflammatory factors we experience. Sufficient dietary levels of EPA, DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids are also important in the regulation of normal blood lipoprotein and cholesterol levels.
Calcium/Magnesium
This formula is a diversified chelate complex of six sources of dietary calcium (including calcium hydroxyapatite) — with magnesium, vitamin D, boron and other ingredients to assist the body in maintaining healthy bone structure and function.
