Optimal Performance is a unique formula designed to give you the metabolic
and systemic support you need for physical endurance and to lead a more
active, productive life. Gathered from the United States, Europe, and
Asia, several potent botanical and mineral nutrients in a base of natural
alfalfa synergistically combine to help naturally boost your energy level
and increase stamina, endurance, and alertness. Optimal Performance does
not provide quick-energy stimulants but rather provides long-term elevated
levels of energy and alertness.*
Each day your body requires a specific amount of important nutrients that
most of us do not consume on a consistent basis. In addition, some of
the nutrients we consume may pass through our bodies without being absorbed,
leaving our bodies deficient in certain nutrients. To help you obtain
optimal nutrition, Unicity™ has developed a high-quality, scientific line
of exclusive dietary supplements. Our nutritional line offers a variety
of supplements that can enhance a healthy lifestyle throughout all stages
of life. This includes scientifically advanced supplements for targeted
needs, such as cardiovascular function, men's and women's health, digestive
function, and others. Unicity's nutritionals include a full range of multivitamin
and mineral formulas designed to suit your individual lifestyle needs.*
RESEARCH BRIEF
If you frequently feel lethargic or fatigued, you may need to reevaluate
your diet. Along with stress management and regular exercise, proper nutrition
can play an important role in boosting your energy level.*
Several of the nutrients that can affect your energy level include bee
pollen, which is used by many athletes to help enhance endurance and stamina;
spirulina, which enhances blood oxygen; and octacosanol, which is believed
to act directly on the metabolism to enhance energy and stamina.*
In addition, royal jelly--a nutritionally rich substance manufactured
by worker bees for the queen bee--can influence energy.*
To optimize your energy levels and alertness, eat a well-balanced diet,
augment your nutritional intake with dietary supplements, engage in regular
exercise, and follow a stress-management program.*
FAQs
Q. Why do Optimal Performance tablets appear green?
A. This enhanced-energy formula provides six select ingredients
in a base of natural alfalfa, which gives the tablets a green appearance.
Optimal Performance does not contain artificial colors.
Q. Where does bee pollen come from?
A. Bee pollen is collected by honey bees from flowers and carried
in a pocket on their hind legs. As the bees enter a hive, a mesh screen
causes the pellets of pollen to fall from their legs into a collection
drawer. The pollen is then carefully cleaned, dried, and stored to maintain
the potency of its many valuable nutrients. Throughout this process, there
is no harm to the bees.
Q. Does Siberian ginseng contain caffeine?
A. No. This herb does not contain caffeine. The botanicals and
minerals in Optimal Performance provide naturally occurring stimulant
properties that may feel like the boost caffeine can generate.
