The advantage of isotonix supplements

when you ingest a standard vitamins or dietary supplements tablets, the stomach must secrete diluting juices, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and at least 1 vitamin-binding protein to begin the digestion process. This requires both energy & time -- 40 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the size of the meal. Isotonix products offer the fastest and most efficient delivery of all oral forms of nutritional supplements. Isotonix products are dissolved in water are delivered into the small intestine faster & more nutritionally concentrated, maximising the opportunity for absorption of nutrients. Isotonix products are usually taken on an empty stomach, dramatically shortening the transit time. Isotonix products do not linger in the stomach and pass into the small intestine, the major site of nutrient absorption and avoid stomach upset.
Isotonix products are not encapsulated or compacted into a "form' and there is no need for fillers, binders, coatings, lubricants,or artificial colouring. With Isotonix, there is no guess-work involved. You can be assured that when used as directed, you are getting the exact amount of nutrients shown in the exact isotonic state desired. Health conscious consumers maximise their dollars spent on dietary supplemets by choosing Isotonix products.

My early journey to optimal health

I started taking Vitamins/supplements when I was in my mid-twenties.I 1st tried the synthetic Vitamins which didn't agreed with my body at all. My head spinned whenever I took those tables/capsules. Hence my quest for natural supplements began and I only consumed all natural supplements since then.
About 61/2 years ago, I was introduced to the Isotonic range of supplements which I found to be the best form of Vitamins/supplements.
What is Isotonic? "iso" means "the same" and "tonic" means "pressure" or "tone".
When isotonic is used to describe solutions for human consumption, it means having the same fluid pressure as the body fluids. Tears, blood plasma, lymph, and other body fluids are all isotonic. When we ingest food, gastric (or stomach) juice is secreted onto the food, and muscular contractions of the stomach mix the contents until a reasonably uniform solution is achieved. The solutions of the food (or chyme) that enter the small intestine for absorption are made isotonic by the action of the stomach in the time-consuming process.
How does Isotonic supplement work?

Water & Fat soluble vitamins

Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble or Fat-soluble. In human there are 13 Vitamins, 4 fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) and 9 water-soluble (8 B vitamins & Vitamin C)

Water Soluble:
Water soluble vitamins dissolve easily in water, and in general, are readily excreted from the body, to the degree that urinary output is a stronger predictor of Vitamin consumption. Because they are not readily stored, consistent daily intake is important.

Fat-soluble:
Fat-soluble Vitamins are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of Lipids(fat). Therefore they are best taken with food.Because they are more likely to accumulate in the body, they are more likely to lead to hypervitaminosis than are water soluble vitamins.

Hypervitaminosis: an abnormal condition resulting from taking Vitamins excessively, can be serious for Vitamins A or D or K.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
I welcome your comments.
