<h2>Prepare Your Body to Meet Stress Head On</h2>
Stress Defense® Tabs is a special patented vitamin/mineral complex specifically developed to give you the nutrient boost you need during high-stress times. You need additional B vitamins to support energy and antioxidants because stress may increase production of free radicals 
(toxic particles believed to contribute to the development of a wide range of health concerns). Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals. Chronic stress has also been found to raise blood sugar levels, which can lead to diabetes and weight gain. The Doctors at MDR have included 
a highly bioavailable, natural form of 
Chromium in Stress Tabs®: to help support 
healthy blood sugar levels. 

<h2>Extra Help in Fighting the Effects of the Stress Hormone</h2>
According to an article in Harvard Women’s Health Watch (Vol 10, No.5, Jan 2003), chronic production of Cortisol (the stress hormone) can lead to fatigue, immune suppression, memory problems, bone loss, and an increased risk of heart disease. If you are under constant stress, it’s vitally important to fortify your nutritional defenses. That’s why the Doctors at MDR designed Stress Tabs to complement MDR’s AM/PM Fitness Tabs®. Fitness Tabs provides a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help support immune function, healthy heart function, vision, brain function, metabolism, and energy production. For example, to maintain healthy bones and to help reduce your risk of osteoporosis, you need 1,200 mg of Calcium. Just two Stress Defense® Tabs with the Fitness Tabs will bring your daily intake up to 1,000 mg of Calcium. Two Stress Tabs and two Fitness Tabs provide just over 100% of the required daily amount of Chromium, which supports healthy blood sugar levels. In addition to these important minerals, Stress Tabs supplies other essential ingredients you need for good health and to feel your best even during times of stress.

<h2>Just the Right Nutrients</h2>
The Stress Tabs formula contains just the right amount of:

•	B Vitamins to support your immune system and help
	keep your nervous system functioning properly. 

•	Vitamin C for protection against free radicals, for
	healthy circulation, and to help maintain healthy, firm skin and cartilage for flexible joints.1

•	Vitamin E to support heart health2, cell health3, brain
	health4 and support defenses against inflammation.5
	(MDR uses the all-natural form of Vitamin E, which is 100% more active than its synthetic counterpart.)

•	Magnesium needed to help convert food to energy.

•	Manganese to build natural antioxidant enzymes.

•	Natural Beta-Carotene to help boost your 
	body’s cellular defenses against free radicals.6

•	Selenium for immunity and well-being.7

•	Zinc to help support the immune system8 
	and to keep hundreds of health supporting enzymes active.


<h2>Why You Need AM/PM Doses</h2>
Researchers know that it’s important to provide your body with nutrients in the morning and then to replenish them in the late afternoon. In fact, Dr. Roc Ordman at the Beloit College discovered that water-soluble Vitamin C is lost 
during the day and requires a second dose to keep optimum blood levels. The Stress Defense formula provides 600 mg 
of Vitamin C in two tablets. The formula also supplies the proper dosage of other nutrients to increase your defenses against the effects of stress in the AM and PM. 

Another advantage of Stress Tabs is that it offers ingredients that have good bioavailability, which is the rate at which the nutrients are absorbed. That means better health and vitality for you. You can’t avoid stress. But you can avoid many of its negative effects like fatigue, depression, and a weakened immune system. So stick to a well-balanced diet, take MDR Stress Defense® Performance Tabs with MDR Fitness Tabs® and see what a difference it makes - the MDR Difference: Good Health!
