Research & Development

Our micronutrient formulations are the culmination of many years of research and product development.  

Product Research

At Hardy Nutritionals®, we are very passionate about ensuring that all our formulations are research-backed. For example, our founder David L. Hardy, spent nearly 15 years co-developing a specialized micronutrient formulation which is widely researched, before founding Hardy Nutritionals®.

David’s products have been studied extensively by independent researchers at a many universities, including Harvard, Ohio State, Calgary (Canada), and Canterbury (New Zealand), for various aspects of health—particularly mood and anxiety-related disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and OCD. This research has resulted in over 40 publications in medical journals. A recent article in BMC Psychiatry noted that there is “more published and ongoing research on this formula† [the micronutrient formula David co-developed] for mental health than on any other complex formula anywhere in the world.”

Exciting double-blind research at multiple centers around the world is currently underway or in the planning stages with David’s newest micronutrient formulations, Daily Essential Nutrients and Optimal Balance. We are committed to continual product development as new research is published and as we receive valuable feedback from health professionals and their patients.
