At Hardy Nutritionals®, we’ve spent over two decades developing and refining the world’s most researched micronutrient formula for mental health.

In a recent episode of the Nutritional Mental Health Podcast — No One’s Talking About This ADHD Breakthrough — Hardy Nutritionals’ scientist Taron Fletcher joined host Annika Angelo of The Nutrimind Lab to share the inside story behind our clinical results—and why targeted nutrition may be the most overlooked tool in supporting symptoms like emotional dysregulation, brain fog, low energy, impulsivity, and chronic stress.

This episode isn’t sponsored. It’s honest, personal, and backed by 60+ medical journal publications. If you’ve ever wondered how nutrients actually work in the brain—or why our flagship formula requires 12 capsules a day—this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

Why Nutrition Matters More Than Most People Realize

“Our formula was born out of real-world desperation,” Taron shares. “But what started as an experiment—applying animal nutrition principles to mental health—has grown into something that’s changing lives.”

The conversation explores how Daily Essential Nutrients supports:

• Mitochondrial function and cellular energy
• Neurotransmitter balance and enzyme activity
• Dopamine pathways linked to attention and motivation
• Resilience in the face of stress, sensory overwhelm, and fatigue

The Four Effects Most People Feel First

Daily Essential Nutrients is a foundational support for mental wellness. While not always immediate, the effects build with consistent use. The longer individuals take the formula, the more robust the response tends to be. According to child psychiatrist Dr. Charles Popper, the effects tend to follow a clear pattern:

• Clearer thinking and reduced brain fog
• Improved mood and emotional regulation
• Lower anxiety and stress response
• Greater day-to-day functioning and adaptability

“This isn’t just about symptom relief,” Taron explains. “It’s about helping people feel like themselves again—more grounded, more capable, more present.”

Why 12 Capsules? And Why It’s Worth It

The clinical dose of 12 capsules may sound like a lot—but there’s no shortcut to full-spectrum brain nutrition. As Taron explains, most of the volume comes from minerals like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, which are required in therapeutic amounts.

Each nutrient supports key metabolic pathways. Each capsule plays a role. With consistent use, benefits increase over time—not fade away.

Not Just for ADHD: A Broader Impact

This conversation touches on a wide range of symptoms that DEN has been shown to support:

• In ADHD: emotional reactivity, impulsivity, sensory processing, and task-switching*
• In mood and anxiety: stability, calm, and improved tolerance to stress*
• In prenatal populations: improved outcomes for both mothers and infants*
• In cases of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia: stabilization when medications have failed*
