What is the best time to take Isotonix products?
A. Basically, any time the stomach is empty is a good time, in order to take advantage of the “isotonic state”, and the processes of gastric emptying and absorption of nutrients. The products may be taken in any combination as long as the amounts of powder and water are proportional. Two Isotonix products, Vitamin B-12 Special Formula and Digestive Enzyme Formula with Probiotics, should be taken during or immediately after meals. The uptake of vitamin B-12 is greatly aided by the presence of a special binding protein called Intrinsic Factor that is secreted by the stomach during digestion. Digestive enzymes in Isotonix work well over the pH ranges found in the gastrointestinal tract, and so it is important to allow the enzymes to begin working as soon as possible in the digestive process in order to supplement our own salivary, stomach, and pancreatic enzymes.
