Pumpkin Seed Protein + Superfood
OptimaYou’s Pumpkin Seed Protein + Superfood is a powerhouse of nutrition, harnessing the benefits of organic pumpkin seed protein and a protein booster blend.

Pumpkin seed protein is a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids. It’s also rich in magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health[^1^].

The protein booster blend includes BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine), which are crucial for muscle growth and recovery[^2^].

The blend also contains L-Glutamine, Beta-Alanine, Creatine, L-Carnitine, L-Lysine, Taurine, Protease enzyme, and Vit. B12 (as methylcobalamin), all of which contribute to optimal physical performance and recovery[^3^][^4^][^5^].

The product also includes organic chia seeds, known for their high fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content[^6^], and an organic superfood concentrate.

This concentrate contains a variety of nutrient-dense foods like Organic Moringa, Organic Spinach, Organic Beet, Organic Carrot, Organic Baobab, Organic Kelp, Organic Turmeric, Organic Maca, Organic Ashwagandha, Organic Sunflower Lecithin, Organic Rosemary, Organic Spirulina, and Trace Minerals from Himalayan & Sea Salts. These ingredients are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and overall health-promoting properties[^7^][^8^][^9^].

Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pure pumpkin seed oil, another ingredient in OptimaYou’s product line, has been shown to improve prostate health and relieve symptoms of an overactive bladder. It’s also rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that can promote heart health[^10^].

Optima Nature’s Nitric Oxide
Optima Nature’s Nitric Oxide contains a proprietary blend designed to boost nitric oxide levels in the body. Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that helps blood vessels relax and improves circulation. Ingredients like L-Citrulline Malate, Organic Beetroot, and Organic Pomegranate are known to enhance the production of nitric oxide, promoting better blood flow and oxygen delivery during exercise[^11^].

Conscious Beauty Melt
The Conscious Beauty Melt contains lavender and bergamot essential oils, both known for their calming and soothing properties. Lavender oil has been shown to promote sleep and alleviate anxiety[^12^], while bergamot oil can reduce stress and improve skin conditions like eczema[^13^].

Optima Mother Nature’s Mouthwash
Optima Mother Nature’s Mouthwash uses the natural antimicrobial properties of coconut oil and peppermint essential oil to promote oral health. Coconut oil has been shown to reduce plaque and fight gum disease[^14^], while peppermint oil is known for its refreshing flavor and ability to kill bacteria in the mouth[^15^].

Optima Divine Deodorant
Optima Divine Deodorant uses natural ingredients like coconut oil, carnauba wax, arrowroot, sodium bicarbonate, and lavender oil. Coconut oil and carnauba wax have moisturizing properties, arrowroot absorbs moisture, sodium bicarbonate neutralizes odors, and lavender oil adds a pleasant scent[^16^].

Optima Nature’s Body Bar
Optima Nature’s Body Bar is made with saponified coconut oil, a natural cleanser that removes dirt and oil while moisturizing the skin[^17^].
