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.

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.
