WHO NEEDS SUPPLEMENTS?
Q1. I am athletic; why should I take supplements?
Athletes tend to be exposed to elevated levels of oxidative stress. Free radicals develop as by-products during metabolism when calories are processed with oxygen. Athletes inhale 10 to 20 times more oxygen during physical activity over rest periods. The increase in activity creates additional free radicals. In fact, these free radicals are known to limit performance, as free radicals appear to take their toll on muscle tissue. Studies on recreational athletes have shown a 20 percent endurance increase with OPCs, as compared to a control group receiving a placebo. Another study has shown that athletes using OPCs suffered significantly less muscle cramping during and after performing. Isotonix® OPC-3® Powder Drink helps to maintain healthy blood flow and this supports oxygen supply to muscles.
Q2. I am young and healthy: why should I take a multivitamin or other supplements?
Everyone is vulnerable to the aging process caused by continuous free radical damage. Young people, with their busy lifestyle, may not eat as well as they should. A good quality vitamin and mineral supplement creates a sound micronutrient foundation to accompany a balanced diet. Vitamins and minerals help to support a healthy immune system, promote the conversion of food into energy, support a healthy cardiovascular system, support strong bones, promote mental clarity, maintain normal metabolic functioning, promote healthy growth and repair of tissues and help maintain water and electrolyte balance in the body. All this will prepare you for a healthier body as you get older.
Q3. Why are B-vitamins so important in the aging process?
The ability to absorb B-vitamins naturally decreases with age, and various indicators of cognitive impairment are associated with reduced B-vitamin levels. The elderly in general suffer from a reduction in sense of taste and, thus, appetite and may use many acids reducing medicines that predispose them to B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is at once an incredibly difficult nutrient to assimilate and digest, as well as one of the most important vitamins for a broad range of bodily functions, including optimal functioning of the nervous system, normal DNA and RNA synthesis, optimal energy production and healthy blood integrity.
Q4. Why should I take calcium?
Everyone needs calcium. Practically no one ingests enough calcium in their daily diet. Besides being helpful in supporting and maintaining bone integrity, calcium serves a dynamic role as a mineral. It is very important in supporting the activity of many bodily enzymes and maintaining proper fluid balance. Isotonix® Calcium Plus Powder Drink also promotes the normal contraction of skeletal and muscle. According to the Surgeon General, taking a calcium supplement daily is key to preventing and treating calcium deficiency and to helping reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Currently osteoporosis affects over one-third of postmenopausal women in the country. Recent clinical statistics also indicate that aging men are also likely to become susceptible to osteoporosis.
Q5. Why are Isotonix® supplements better than traditional supplements?
In order for a fluid from inside the intestine to be transferred into the blood plasma, the fluid must be as similar as possible to the body fluid. The fluids in your body have an almost constant concentration of dissolved salts, sugars and minerals. If the concentration of the fluid consumed is the same as that of the body's fluids, then the fluid is described as being "isotonic." At this concentration, nutrients and molecules essential for proper cell metabolism, are most efficiently transported through cell walls. The base ingredients in Isotonix® delivery are at the same concentration of particles as found in your body fluids. This improves absorption of the actives. Isotonix® solutions are gentle on your system because they simulate body fluids.
Isotonix® products have been carefully formulated to clear your stomach at a rate to maximize absorption. A pill does not fully deliver into your bloodstream the vitamins it holds within. Either the pill is dumped whole into your intestinal tract or the active ingredients pass through without being fully absorbed. Vitamins taken in Isotonic form do not have these shortcomings.
Normally, when you ingest a daily vitamin or nutritional supplement tablet, your body must work longer to digest and absorb the vitamins and nutrients. During this lengthy breakdown process, a percentage of the nutritive value may be lost. Because Isotonix® products are powders, none of the fillers, binders and coatings that are common to tablet manufacturing are necessary. There are no gelatin capsules or coating with Isotonix® products and as a result, the amount of time and work necessary to absorb a supplement is greatly decreased. Also because our products do not contain these items, you are not paying for something unnecessary!
Isotonix® formulas are more effective than standard supplement formulas because they offer the best way to get the maximum delivery of vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream. Isotonix® formulas are also the fastest and most effective way to receive vitamins, minerals and nutrients. The stomach has very little work to do because the pH and tonicity are carefully designed to allow the stomach to quickly release all the nutrients into the small intestine. With the Isotonix® formulas, this process takes about five minutes, whereas a standard vitamin tablet can take up to four hours.
