Why Isotonix?

When we eat, drink, or ingest most types of nutritional supplements, the stomach must secrete diluting juices, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and at least one vitamin-binding protein to begin the process of digestion. This process requires energy and time — about 40 minutes or more, depending on the size of the meal. Isotonix products are great-tasting powders that are mixed with water. They are then delivered into the small intestine nutritionally concentrated, maximizing the opportunity for absorption of nutrients across cell membranes. Isotonix products are usually taken on an empty stomach, dramatically shortening the transit time through the stomach. This minimizes the chance that important micronutrients will be trapped by fats, fibers, and tannins or inactivated by a highly acidic pH level that can neutralize the nutritional value. The solution can then flow into the small intestine, where a small volume of pancreatic digestive juice mixes with it, adding sodium bicarbonate to adjust the pH to neutral, thereby maximizing the potential uptake of micronutrients. Our main product is Isotonix OPC-3 Antioxidant, but we carry a complete line of other Isotonic products as well. All are important to health, and all are readily absorbed.
