Executive Stress Formula™
Nutrients to boost the body’s defenses against stress
DESCRIPTION
Executive Stress FormulaÔ, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a synergistic and comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbals, and other nutrients, carefully formulated and specifically designed to support and boost the function of the body’s defenses against stress.
FUNCTIONS
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body’s structure as well as the optimum functioning of its various systems, including the immune system. Executive Stress FormulaÔ has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or of side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms.
Executive Stress FormulaÔ contains not only the base formula of Douglas Laboratories’ Ultra-Specific Nutrition 2000 SeriesÔ that offers intensive support for the healthy functioning of the body in general, but also a blend of herbs and additional nutrients specifically formulated to offer additional fortification of the body’s defenses against oxidative assaults to the structure and function of our body’s metabolic systems including its immune system. Scientific research has shown the oxidative damage to the structure and function of the body’s tissues, associated with the stresses of modern life, can be attenuated by the various nutrients included in Executive Stress FormulaÔ such as vitamin E, vitamin C, coenzyme Q-10, reduced glutathione, proanthocyanidins of red grapes, and the herb Silybum marianum. Additionally, citrus bioflavonoids, vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc, and selenium provide potent protection against oxidative damage to the structure and function of blood vessels.
INDICATIONS
Executive Stress FormulaÔ tablets may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to boost their body’s defenses against stress.
