Although a healthy diet and regular exercise can reduce fatigue, it’s nearly impossible to obtain sufficient levels of vitamins and minerals required for optimal energy from food alone.

Environmental and food toxins (i.e. pesticides, pesticides, radiation, smog, smoke, and preservatives) may have damaging effects on cellular components, including the mitochondria, which is responsible for producing more than 90% of the energy for our cells. 

The Daily Essential Formula provides the mitochondria with key nutrients involved in energy production and antioxidants to support healthy energy levels and normal mitochondrial function.

Ingredient Highlights:

Alpha-lipoic acid: assists various enzymes that function in the energy-producing pathways of the body and promotes antioxidant status, including to help regenerate other antioxidants.

Activated B Vitamins: supports energy production by helping the body properly utilise amino acids, fats and carbohydrates.

Magnesium: an essential mineral to convert the glucose in food into energy. Our magnesium is in the form of magnesium bisglycinate which has been shown to be better absorbed than cheaper forms and does not upset sensitive stomachs.

We shouldn’t wait until we aren't feeling our best to start focusing on our immune health. Every day, our immune system is busy combating a variety of stressors and so taking a proactive approach and keeping our immune system strong is crucial for optimal health.

The Daily Essential Formula provides excellent sources of key vitamins and minerals to boost your natural defences and support robust immune health.

Ingredient Highlights:

Vitamin C: provided as a calcium ascorbate at higher levels than in most multivitamins. This generous amount helps the body’s natural process of combatting free radicals that are produced daily from exposure to environmental toxins, allergens, UV- radiation, stressors, and undesirable bacteria and viruses

Vitamin D: critical for a healthy immune system and approximately 50% of people worldwide are deficient in this vitamin. Our vegan source of vitamin D is provided as D3 which is superior to Vitamin D2 for raising levels of vitamin D in the body. 

Zinc: involved in every aspect of the immune system and response because it supports the actions of specific white blood cells that work to support the body’s immune system to pathogens. In fact, every immunological event is influenced by zinc, making the immune system especially susceptible to changes in zinc level. 

Our zinc is in the form of zinc picolinate which has superior absorption compared to zinc citrate and zinc gluconate according to studies.

A healthy diet of whole, unprocessed foods can provide the body with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals. However, even the best diets made up of organic foods are still not able to provide us with all the nutrients we need due to soil degradation, occasional stress, suboptimal digestion, or any other circumstances that increase our demand for nutrients or affect our ability to absorb them. 

The Daily Essential Formula provides a broad range of essential vitamins and minerals not commonly found in commercially available multivitamin supplements that helps ensure a good foundation for key nutrients that support overall health and wellbeing.

Ingredient Highlights: 

Methylated B Vitamins: for optimal absorption without building up in the body and becoming toxic. 

Folate: as 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate which is found naturally in foods and can be utilised immediately by the body. Most mass-marketed supplements contain folic acid, which cannot directly be used by the body. In fact, approximately 25% of the population has a MTHFR genetic mutation and this impairs the body's ability to break down folic acid, which may lead to its build-up and contribute to a range of health issues.

Many nutrition experts have identified a “nutrition gap” between nutrients consumed in the diet and what is required for optimal health – a gap that can be filled by taking a good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement.

Not all multivitamins are created equally and unfortunately many of them contain cheap, low-quality ingredients that are not fully absorbed by the body. They rarely have potent dosages which means that the active ingredients are not sufficient to achieve the health benefits and are often loaded with bulking agents, additives and other unnecessary ingredients.

With the Daily Essential Formula, you can feel confident that your body is reaping all the benefits as all ingredients are in the best state, exact quantities, and precise ratios to allow all them to be absorbed to their fullest potential.

These nutrients are provided in the most absorbable, tissue-ready forms, including pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (active vitamin B6), L-5-MTHF (active folate), methylcobalamin (active vitamin B12), and well-absorbed minerals including zinc picolinate and magnesium bisglycinate.

It also contains 28g of hypoallergenic, organic pea protein to deliver all essential amino acids in just two scoops. One serving will therefore not only provide you with the highest quality and most absorbable forms of vitamins and minerals, but it will also deliver all essential amino acids that the body needs to help regulate blood sugar, recovery and to keep you full and free from energy crashes throughout the day.
