Isotonix Vitamin C

Fuel your immunity with the world’s most popular vitamin – vitamin C! Vitamin C is an antioxidant and plays a significant role in a variety of metabolic functions. It strengthens the immune system, and helps in the synthesis of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. It also helps with skin and eye health. Only Isotonix offers vitamin C using isotonic delivery, providing maximum nutrient absorption.

The two most important factors when searching for quality nutritional supplements are potency and absorption. Our Isotonix Vitamin C sets itself apart from other products on the market by providing you with the maximum nutrient absorption in the shortest amount of time via our patented Isotonix delivery system. The liquid composition of Isotonix Vitamin C places vitamins and minerals like vitamin C in an optimal position for absorption, ensuring a superior delivery to the body’s systems to support a healthy immune system and provide antioxidant protection to the body. All in all, Isotonix Vitamin C provides superior delivery of the nutrients your body needs in the most cost effective way. Isotonix Vitamin C is an effective product that leaves you with peace of mind, knowing that you are doing the most and the best for your health.

Isotonix supplements, when mixed with water, have the same pH and osmotic pressure as the body’s fluids, such as tears, plasma and blood. In order for meaningful absorption of nutritional content to take place, all food must be converted into an isotonic state. This process could take up to three hours. This time consuming process limits the amount of nutrients absorbed by the body.

Detox Kit

Toxins build up in our bodies over time through the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the stress we put our bodies under on a daily basis. The master filter in our body – the liver – works to cleanse the body of these toxins to keep them from disrupting the normal functions and operations of the body; essentially, keeping you healthy.

Unfortunately, the overabundance of toxins our bodies build up, causing undue stress on our liver; and often the liver can’t keep up with the demand. It needs help to remove these toxins and keep you healthy.

Antioxidants produce a compound that triggers the expression of detoxifying and defensive genes that protect the body from harmful toxins known as xenobiotics, which are produced during detoxification. We need to ensure we boost our antioxidant levels to keep our bodies from being damaged by the toxic chemicals being produced.

To promote regular detoxification, Market America has created the Detox Kit, a combination of three products – Oxygen Extreme, Curcumin Extreme, and Isotonix OPC-3 – that work synergistically for overall antioxidant support. Supporting liver detoxification by adequate intake of antioxidants can help to achieve healthier ageing, a longer lifespan and optimal health.

With its strong antioxidant formula, Oxygen Extreme can help play a factor in the maintenance of good health. Its synergistic ingredients work to enhance and support multiple areas of health, including cognitive function, eyesight and immune function.

Curcumin Extreme helps relieve and promote your joints’ comfort and relief from inflammation symptoms thanks to its unique formula that includes Meriva, a curcumin complex scientifically proven to have superior bioavailability and absorption rates compared to other curcumin products on the market. In conjunction with conventional treatments, Curcumin Extreme can play a key role in the maintenance of your overall health – especially the health of your joints.

This kit is also paired with our all-star antioxidant, Isotonix OPC-3, which also helps fight free radicals. Studies have shown OPCs to be more effective than vitamins C and E in neutralizing harmful free radicals and oxidants built up in the body. Thanks to the power of Pycnogenol, Isotonix OPC-3 is an antioxidant for free radical cleansing.

Plus, by purchasing the Detox Kit instead of buying these products individually, you save 28%!

Isotonix OPC-3 is one of the most revolutionary nutritional supplements available today. Between its unparalleled formula, including the clinically-studied ingredient Pycnogenol, and the revolutionary Isotonix Delivery System, there isn’t a more effective antioxidant supplement on the market today.

Isotonix OPC-3’s list of benefits is substantial. From promoting your cardiovascular health by helping you maintain healthy blood vessels and showing anti-inflammatory activity, Isotonix OPC-3 provides complete antioxidant protection thanks to its unique formula.

The power behind this advanced nutritional supplement powder comes from its formula of OPCs, or oligomeric proanthocyanidins: complex organic plant compounds called bioflavonoids that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body, including antioxidant protection.

Isotonix OPC-3 includes a combination of powerful bioflavonoids that protect against free radicals. This includes Pycnogenol, a super-antioxidant that is one of the most clinically-researched ingredients in the nutritional supplements industry.

Many nutritional supplements – including other nutritional supplement powders – claim Pycnogenol as an ingredient, but only Isotonix products – including Isotonix OPC-3 – have exclusive worldwide rights to the isotonic form of the super-antioxidant Pycnogenol.

The isotonic form of a nutrient – the defining characteristic of Isotonix nutritional supplements – is of vital importance. Traditional tablets and capsules can take hours for the body to digest; Isotonix nutritional supplements digest more quickly and are distributed throughout the body faster than pills.

Details

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a nutrient that plays a vital role in health maintenance. As individuals age, the ability to synthesize CoQ10 begins to decline. Sometimes, this is due to poor eating habits or stress, but the main challenge for most people is the ability to choose the right foods containing CoQ10 as well as get additional nutrients needed to manufacture CoQ10 in the body. Isotonix CoQ10 contains 100 mg of Coenzyme Q10 to support and maintain cardiovascular health.

Additional research shows that CoQ10 can also support cellular energy production and provide even more benefits for the heart and cardiovascular system. In addition to scientific evidence for the benefits of Coenzyme Q10, Isotonix CoQ10 also boasts absorption and efficiency, due to its isotonic fluid, which helps the nutrients to be absorbed into your system quickly.

Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state.

Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to in obtaining maximum absorption. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.

Since the antioxidants are in an isotonic solution, it minimizes the chance that important nutrients will be trapped by fats, fibres and tannins, or inactivated by a highly acidic pH level.

Isotonix Resveratrol

Poor cellular and cardiovascular health is becoming a worldwide epidemic. An unhealthy diet of processed, high-calorie, high-fat foods, pollution, smoking and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to poor cell and heart health. Scientists revealed The French Paradox, which states that even though the French drink, smoke and eat high-fat foods, they have some of the lowest incidences of poor cardiovascular and cellular health. Scientists attribute this to of the large amounts of red wine that the French consume or, more importantly, an extract found in red wine, resveratrol. Resveratrol is an ingredient with incredible clinical research revealing its supports cardiovascular and normal cell health. Because wine is so highly processed, the actual amount of resveratrol is quite low. One would have to drink at least 20 glasses of red wine a day to experience the effects of resveratrol extract. Additionally, the content of resveratrol in red wine is inconsistent and varies by type of wine, region and processing techniques. Resveratrol extract ensures that the body reaps all of the benefits of resveratrol without the ill effects from many bottles of wine.

Isotonix Resveratrol is an isotonic-capable supplement, made from Trans-Resveratrol and grape seed extract. Isotonix Resveratrol also contains VitaBlue(wild blueberry extract), designed to promote normal cell health. These ingredients work together to provide key antioxidants to maintain good health.

According to research, Isotonix Resveratrol works to maintain cell health, promote normal cell cycle activity, promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) in unhealthy cells, support the normal activity of the SIRT-1 gene, and promote cardiovascular health, by promoting healthy platelet activity, promoting vasorelaxation, and providing antioxidant protection of LDL particles. Trans-resveratrolis the predominate isomer found in red wine grapes and juice, and Resveravine is 100 to 300 times more concentrated in trans-resveratrol than other products from grape skin. According to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, trans-resveratrol may have a higher bioavailability than other isomers of resveratrol. Resveravine provides a higher level of free radical defense against oxidative stress, stronger promotion of normal cellular activity, and higher antioxidant protection of LDL particles than pure resveratrol extract.

Studies of numerous species have shown that a reduction in calories has been linked to a longer lifespan. The SIRT-1 gene activates a critical component of calorie restriction in mammals and promotes fat metabolization. There is evidence that resveratrol may be a calorie restriction mimetic, a compound that mimics the effects of calorie restriction by targeting metabolic and stress response pathways affected by calorie restriction, but without restricting caloric intake, which may be helpful in promoting a longer lifespan. By promoting healthy SIRT-1 activity, resveratrol promotes healthy mitochondrial function and supports energy expenditure, thereby promoting a healthy weight.

The health properties associated with red wine have intrigued doctors and scientists for centuries, but only in recent times has intensive study revealed the unique benefits of resveratrol for antioxidant defense at the cellular level among other benefits. Only Isotonix provides resveratrol in its most bioavailable form, and surpasses competing products by incorporating an exceptional combination of synergistic antioxidants like Trans-Resveratrol, grape seed, and VitaBlue blueberry extract.

ORAC refers to Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity, which is a method for measuring the antioxidant capacities of different foods and how many oxygen radicals a substance can absorb. The use of vitamin E and vitamin C in ORAC supplements contributes to an antioxidant network which offers far more protection than the use of a single agent alone. Antioxidants are natural cell protectors, neutralizing free radicals by pairing an electron to the outermost shell of radical oxygen molecules, rendering them harmless. Antioxidants are nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and enzymes that are capable of counteracting the effects of the physiological process of oxidation in bodily tissues. Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, stabilize free radicals or cause them to decay into harmless atomic structures. Isotonix Maximum ORAC is an isotonic-capable supplement composed of a powerful blend of blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, elderberries, pomegranate, plum, vitamins C and E. Isotonix Maximum ORAC is intended to be used for its specially selected antioxidant properties. However, it also helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums, in connective tissue formation and wound healing, and is a factor in the maintenance of good health.Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance to the body’s blood, plasma and tears.
