TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, created the Optima line of products to help support the needs of active individuals, especially golfers. Specifically designed to hydrate the body, Optima4 helps bring about a calming effect and provides improved focus, energy and enhanced fine motor control. OptimaFlex fully nourishes the joints and helps reduce pain and inflammation that are direct result of intense exercise, overuse of muscles and arthritis. "As we age, we need to stay active to remain healthy, and all of us at TriVita fully recognize this need. Our full line of Optima products were created to help everyone live life to the fullest."

Q: Is Optima4 a stimulant?
A: No, the ingredients in Optima4 are purely natural and contain no caffeine or other stimulants. When taking this product, you will feel an increase in your energy without becoming jittery or shaky. In fact, our formula is designed to increase your energy which will enhance and improve your focus, concentration and fine motor control. You will be able to sustain this high level of attention for a longer period of time given the fact that your body is now receiving the proper level of nutrients, balancing your nervous system and handling stress and pressures more efficiently. Students can really benefit from the use of Optima4 prior to taking tests, as its calming effect and improved focus enables them to study longer and more effectively and provides the staying power to handle those long and intense exams. Optima4 is a healthier choice than those sugary, artificial stimulant drinks.

Q: How will my endurance be enhanced through the use of these products?
A: Fatigue is triggered when oxidative stress builds up in your nervous system. The brain-specific antioxidants in Optima4 help release the build-up of oxidative stress in your nervous system.

Q: Can I take Optima4 before I tee off, and will I feel results during my round?
A: Mathematical models suggest that a primary brain antioxidant is released about 7 minutes after you take Optima4. The results should peak in about 45 minutes and should not decline for about 2 hours. These projections match the experience of the Champion’s Tour players. The most common application of this product is: 1 serving as you approach the 1st tee and another serving at the turn.

Q: Will Optima4 enable me to concentrate better over my putts?
A: Yes; brain-specific antioxidants improve concentration. Also, Vinpocetine assists with fine motor control for better accuracy. Finally, lutein promotes better depth perception and color distinction for a more accurate read of the greens.

Q: Are these products safe to use with my other daily medications?
A: Always have your pharmacist compare your current medications with the ingredients in Optima4 and OptimaFlex. New information concerning drug-nutrient interactions is released daily. Your pharmacist is in the best position to receive these updates. As far as we know, the only medication that negatively interacts with either Optima4 or OptimaFlex is warfarin, a potent blood-thinner. Pregnant woman and nursing mothers should always review with their health care provider prior to use as should children under 10.

Q: Do these products affect my blood-sugar levels in any way? Is there any caffeine in these products?
A: There is no added caffeine in either Optima4 or OptimaFlex. However, both products contain carbohydrate-rich sweeteners, including fructose. Please see the label for total carbohydrates and plan your meals and snacks accordingly.

Q: What is the best way to use Optima4?
A: We recommend taking one serving right before you begin an activity that will require your total concentration, energy and focus. It can be taken several times throughout the day.

Q: Are there other TriVita products that you suggest taking with Optima4?
A: A sound nutritional foundation is of paramount importance to optimum health. A good multi-vitamin and an Omega 3 complex is highly recommended. You may take other TriVita supplements to help you with individual health issues.

Q: Can vegetarians or people with gluten allergies take Optima4?
A: Optima4 contains no animal by-products and is completely plant-based, so people with meat or wheat restrictions can safely consume it.

Q: Does Optima4 need to be refrigerated?
A: Most people prefer to drink Optima4 chilled, but of course, that is up to your individual taste.

Q: How much Optima4 can I take during a round of golf?
A: You should take a serving of Optima4 daily to sensitize your system to the special nutrients it contains. Then, take a serving about 10 minutes prior to teeing off. If your round has a normal pace you should take another serving at the turn. If it is a slow play day, you may need an additional serving to maintain “calm energy” throughout the round.

Q: Can I take Optima4 and OptimaFlex together?
A: Yes, they are designed to work on different body systems, but they can be taken together.

Q: Is Optima4 okay to use in high heat and humidity climates?
A: It is especially designed for high heat and high humidity environments. You see, heat and humidity are sources of stress. Optima4 is designed to help resist stress from any source, including temperature, humidity and performance stress.
