Susan Lark, MD, women's health expert, creates new formula to fight fatigue and enhance mental and physical performance

POTOMAC, Md., August 18, 2003—Susan Lark, MD, noted medical researcher, clinical nutritionist and women’s health practitioner, has formulated a nutritional supplement for women called Daily Balance Energy Vitalizer, designed to help alleviate fatigue and moodiness by supporting the body’s stress-management and energy-production systems. Dr. Lark’s energy formula is available exclusively through Doctors’ Preferred, Inc. (DPI), a subsidiary of Healthy Directions, LLC, one of the largest North American direct-mail supplement distributors.

Many factors can contribute to fatigue, but stress is one of the most common. While stress is an everyday occurrence, it can overtax the adrenal glands, the organs responsible for how the body reacts to challenging situations. Stress also affects hormonal activity, necessary for healthy energy levels and a sense of well-being, and upsets the optimal acid-alkaline balance in a woman’s body— all of which can leave a woman feeling worn out physically, mentally and emotionally. Dr. Lark formulated Energy Vitalizer from sixteen vitamins, minerals and herbs that work together to support and replenish the body’s stress-managing systems naturally, without the use of stimulatory supplements.

“Exhaustion, moodiness, forgetfulness and low stamina have become a fact of life for many women juggling careers, households, relationships and the care of children and elderly parents,” explains Dr. Lark. “What we’ve found is that women can restore their energy levels through proper nutrition, exercise and targeted nutritional support.”

Drawing from nearly three decades experience as a leading women’s health practitioner, educator and writer, Dr. Lark created a formula that she believes helps address the root causes of fatigue in women, by:

1. Supporting and nourishing the adrenal glands, which manufacture chemicals that regulate how the brain and body perform under stress
   
2. Supporting energy production and metabolism at the cellular level to promote the most efficient use of energy in the body and brain
   
3. Supporting mental alertness and clarity
   
4. Helping to maintain the body’s preferred slightly alkaline state, increasing vitality and stamina
   
5. Balancing a woman’s yin and yang to counteract fatigue and restore normal hormonal activity, alleviating many pre-menopausal and menopausal symptoms

“This formula can make a real difference in how women feel,” says Dr. Lark, who has devoted her career to raising awareness of women’s health issues, such as obesity, hormone replacement therapy and osteoporosis. She pioneered the use of women’s self-care treatments based on diet, nutrition, exercise and stress management, and has penned a number of books, including Fibroid Tumors & Endometriosis and the Estrogen Decision. Her most recent title, which she co-authored, is The Chemistry of Success: Six Secrets of Peak Performance.

Her monthly newsletter, Women's Wellness Today, with a circulation of more than 135,000 subscribers, and her web site, www.drlark.com, are dedicated to educating and empowering women to make the best choices for optimum health. Online visitors may also sign up for Dr. Lark’s free biweekly e-newsletter, which presents breaking health news along with lifestyle tips, easy recipes and simple exercises for health and well-being.
