A number of independent studies back clinical micronutrients as a safe, effective alternative to psychiatric medications.

While there are a number of ADHD treatments available for both adults and children, it is unusual to see “independently researched” and “stimulant-free” associated with one.

Daily Essential Nutrients, a clinical micronutrient supplement formulated and produced by Hardy Nutritionals®, is now available worldwide without a prescription in both powder and capsule form.

This unique formula, backed by 20+ years of independent university research, contains essential nutrients the human body can’t produce on its own, in a highly absorbable format, at levels scientists have found to be effective against a wide range of mood and mental health disorders.

While a bottle of 360 veggie capsules (or the smoothie powder version) costs a hefty $129, Daily Essential Nutrients is successfully freeing thousands of people each year from their reliance on psychiatric medications.

How can nutrition treat mental health, you might ask?

It’s really not a new idea. For decades, Dr. Bruce Ames, world-renowned biochemist and senior scientist at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute has been touting the importance of adequate nutrition.

Dr. Ames has shown that deficiencies of at least seven essential nutrients can cause mutations by inducing chromosome breaks by the same mechanisms as radiation. [1] His research is part of a larger body of evidence showing that deficiencies in at least 14 nutrients kill brain cells or degenerate nerves or nerve endings. [2]

It is little wonder that this renowned scientist has concluded that “We are starving, even though we are all getting fat, we are starving for vitamins and minerals.” [3]

So couldn’t we just eat more vegetables?

Dr. Ames is just one of many researchers finding that even carefully selected diets may no longer provide us with the levels of essential minerals and vitamins considered adequate, not to mention the quantities of essential nutrients required to optimize health for those with existing mental or physical illness.  

Research has shown that food crops today have lower nutrient values than they did 50+ years ago. Intensive agricultural practices, including extensive chemical use and food supply over-processing, are just two among many factors depleting our food sources of essential nutrients.  

It’s not that diet and lifestyle improvements are unnecessary—indeed they are incredibly helpful—but the truth is, even the healthiest modern diet is simply not enough to be a complete treatment for most people, which makes supplementation a serious issue.

Dr. Julia Rucklidge, one researcher who has conducted a number of independent studies on clinical micronutrient therapy for ADHD says:

“The evidence now is pretty remarkable in terms of using vitamins and minerals for the treatment of mental illness…we’ve been collecting data to look at it specifically for the treatment for ADHD, for which we’ve found a robust effect compared to placebo in adults with ADHD. There are also other studies that have been done both in my lab and also internationally that have shown the effect of micronutrients for the treatment of stress, PTSD, autism, across the whole range of disorders like depression, anxiety, stress… ”

While Hardy Nutritionals® Daily Essential Nutrients contains commonly recognized essential vitamins and minerals, it is not easily replicated.

The levels of nutrients required to make this micronutrient formula would cost around $400 per month at any health food store—not to mention the chelation and micro-grinding you’d have to do at home—which explains why so much research has gone into perfecting the Daily Essential Nutrients proprietary formulation.

In 2016, Lifetime TV’s “Modern Living With Kathy Ireland®” aired a sponsored segment which featured an interview with Colorado’s Dr. Scott Shannon, renowned Integrative Psychiatrist and author of Please Don’t Label My Child, Mental Health for the Whole Child, and Parenting the Whole Child.

In the interview, Dr. Shannon discusses his clinical experiences with Daily Essential Nutrients.

He shares: “I do a lot of teaching in the integrative medicine, integrative psychiatry world and I think my peers realize that our psychiatric treatments have limited efficacy and very significant risk issues and side effects…and I think I see better results with fewer side effects with Daily Essential Nutrients.”
