Isotonix Multivitamin is a complete multivitamin and multimineral supplement suitable for both adults and children! Isotonix Multivitamin is an isotonic-capable food supplement with the superior delivery of Isotonix, containing 100 percent or more of the recommended daily allowances (RDA) of most vitamins and minerals. Isotonix Multivitamin provides a total of 22 vitamins and minerals for the family. Vitamins and minerals help to supplement dietary deficiencies, 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, normal vision, and nervous system. There is no substitute for a healthy, well-balanced diet; however, in today’s fast-paced lifestyles, it is important to ensure the body gets the fuel it needs. Isotonix Multivitamin is a great supplement choice for all adults and children, and especially for athletes, growing teenagers and pre-menopausal women.

Parents always want to give their children the best, and sometimes making sure children receive the proper amount of vitamins and minerals can be a challenge. In the UK, many children do not get enough of the vitamins and minerals they need because they do not eat fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains every day, so for parents concerned about their kids’ growth and development, Isotonix Multivitamin is the perfect solution! Isotonix Multivitamin includes vitamins A, C and D, which are recommended by the UK Department of Health for all children aged six months to five years, and support your child’s immune system, heart function, metabolism, vision, nervous system, bone, teeth and gum health, cognitive health and more.

Isotonix Multivitamin provides children with the essentials they need to help their growing bodies healthy and strong. In addition, Isotonix Multivitamin provides children these benefits in a great-tasting, highly effective isotonic formula. This multivitamin is formulated so the nutrients children need are delivered fast and efficiently, maximising the amount available to the body. The formula is great for adults and children, making it an affordable solution for the entire family! 

While there are many options on the market today to help support a family’s nutritional needs, it’s important to choose a supplement not only with the best formula, but with the best delivery system! Isotonix Multivitamin uses the revolutionary Isotonix delivery system, which ensures maximum delivery of active ingredients at full potency. Isotonix dietary supplements create a concentrated, isotonic solution that matches perfectly to the body’s absorption pathways and are buffered to be gentle. Isotonix products provide maximum absorption, value and effectiveness.

Isotonix - the World's Most Advanced Nutraceuticals
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 food 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.

Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene) According to the British Nutrition Foundation, supplements containing 233µg of vitamin A are recommended for infants and young children from age 1 to 5 years to avoid Vitamin A deficiency. Unfortunately some children will have vitamin A intakes that are unlikely to be adequate; 9% of boys and 10% girls aged 7-10 years had inadequate vitamin A intakes.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Sources of vitamin A include organ meats (such as liver and kidney), egg yolks, butter, carrot juice, squash, sweet potatoes, spinach, peaches, fortified dairy products and cod liver oil. Vitamin A is also part of a family of compounds including retinol, retinal and beta-carotene. Beta-carotene, also known as pro-vitamin A, can be converted into vitamin A when additional levels are required. All the body’s tissues need Vitamin A for general growth and repair. Vitamin A helps to promote healthy vision and a healthy immune system.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin C is found in peppers (sweet, green, red, hot red and green chili), citrus fruits and brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collards, mustard greens, broccoli, spinach, guava, kiwi fruit, currants and strawberries. Nuts and grains contain small amounts of vitamin C. It is important to note that cooking destroys vitamin C activity.

Vitamin C is integral in supporting a healthy immune system and providing an antioxidant defense. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. Therefore, Vitamin C must be acquired through diet and supplementation.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)

Regular sunlight exposure is the main way that most humans get their vitamin D. Food sources of vitamin D are vitamin D-fortified milk (100 IU per cup), cod liver oil, and fatty fish such as salmon. Small amounts are found in egg yolks and liver.

In the UK, children and adults can be at risk of vitamin D deficiency for numerous reasons including darker skin colour, consistently covering up the skin, frequent use of sunscreen, age, lack of exposure to sunlight. The UK health departments recommend that individuals over 65 years of age and those not exposed to much sunlight should take vitamin D supplements (10μg per day).

Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and supports the production of several proteins involved in calcium absorption and storage. Vitamin D works with calcium to promote hard, strong bones. It works to promote active transport of calcium out of the osteoblasts into the extra-cellular fluid and in the kidneys, promotes calcium and phosphate uptake by renal tubules. Vitamin D also promotes the normal absorption of dietary calcium and phosphate uptake by the intestinal epithelium.

Vitamin E (d-alpha-Tocopherol Succinate)

The most valuable sources of dietary vitamin E include vegetable oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados and wheat germ. Safflower oil contains large amounts of vitamin E (about two thirds of the RDA in ¼ cup) and there are trace amounts in corn oil and soybean oil. Vitamin E is actually a family of related compounds called tocopherols and tocotrienols. Vitamin E is available in a natural or synthetic form. In most cases, the natural and synthetic forms are identical except the natural form of vitamin E is better absorbed and retained in the body. The natural form of alpha-tocopherol is known as "d-alpha tocopherol." (The natural form is found in Isotonix Multivitamin with Iron.) The synthetic "dl-" form is the most common form found in dietary supplements. For those individuals watching their dietary fat consumption, which is relatively common in the world of dieting, vitamin E intake is likely to be low, due to a reduced intake of foods with high fat content. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful fat-soluble antioxidants in the body. In turn, vitamin E protects cell membranes from free radical damage.

Thiamin (Vitamin B1)

Thiamin plays an important role in energy-yielding metabolism and nerve function. Thiamin is required for a healthy nervous system and assists in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 

According to the British Nutrition Foundation, UK surveys have reported that riboflavin levels are low in certain categories of people including teenage girls, young women and women over 65 years living at home.

Vitamin B2 is found in liver, dairy products, dark green vegetables and some types of seafood. Vitamin B2 serves as a co-enzyme, working with other B vitamins. It promotes healthy blood and supports both the normal functioning of the nervous system. It supports healthy skin and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B2 aids in the breakdown of fats while functioning as a cofactor or helper in activating B6 and folic acid. Vitamin B2 is water-soluble and cannot be stored by the body except in insignificant amounts; thus, it must be replenished daily. Under some conditions, vitamin B2 can act as an antioxidant. The riboflavin coenzymes are also important for the transformation of vitamin B6 and folic acid into their active forms and for the conversion of tryptophan into niacin.

Niacin (Vitamin B3)

Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for many aspects of health, growth and reproduction. It is part of the vitamin B complex. Niacin supports the functioning of the digestive system, skin and nerves. It is also important for the conversion of food to energy.

Niacin (also known as vitamin B-3) is found in dairy products, poultry, fish, lean meats, nuts and eggs as well as legumes and enriched breads and cereals.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl)

Poultry, fish, whole grains and bananas are the main dietary sources of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is a co-factor required for protein and amino acid metabolism and also assists in the maintenance of healthy red blood cells. Vitamin B6 is required for haemoglobin synthesis. It is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters in brain and peripheral nerve cells, and it supports normal nerve conduction. Some athletic supplements include vitamin B6 because it promotes the conversion of glycogen to glucose, for energy in muscle tissue. Vitamin B6, when taken with folic acid, has been shown to help maintain normal plasma levels of homocysteine, which promotes optimal cardiovascular health. Vitamin B6 should be administered as a part of a complex of other B-vitamins for best results.

Folate (Folic Acid)

Folic acid is mainly found in fruits and vegetables. Dark leafy greens, oranges, orange juice, beans and peas are the best sources as well as Brewer’s yeast, which supplies additional B-vitamins. Folic acid plays a key role by boosting the benefits of vitamin B12 supplementation. These two B-vitamins join forces and work together in maintaining normal red blood cells. Folic acid assists in the normal utilisation of amino acids and proteins as well as promoting the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in meats, liver, beef, pork, eggs, whole milk, cheese, whole wheat bread and fish. Vitamin B12 can only be found in animal products, with small amounts derived from fermented soy products such as miso and tempeh, and peanuts. It is essential that vegetarians consume a vitamin B12 supplement to maintain optimal health. Vitamin B12, when ingested, is stored in the liver and other tissues for later use. The synthetic form of vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, is not derived from either plants or animals and is intrinsic in the maintenance of normal functioning body cells, especially those of the nervous system (protecting the sheaths of nerve cells). Vitamin B12 helps maintain optimum energy levels as it plays a vital role in normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Biotin
Biotin can be found in food sources, such as egg yolks, peanuts, beef liver, milk (10 mcg/cup), cereals, almonds and Brewer’s yeast. Biotin is important for the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats and amino acids. It plays a role supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism and functioning of the nervous system. Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails since it contributes normal skin and hair.

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)

Pantothenic acid or vitamin B5 is a water soluble vitamin in found in high concentrations in cereal grains, legumes, eggs, meat, avocados, broccoli and yogurt. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Calcium
According to the UK National Diet and Nutrition Surveys, approximately 18% of girls and 7% of boys age 11-18 years are reported to have inadequate calcium intakes. Sufficient daily calcium intake is necessary for maintaining optimal bone density and healthy bones and teeth. Calcium deficiency has been associated with poor cardiovascular health, poor colon health and poor muscular function. When the body does not get enough calcium per day, it draws calcium from your bones possibly resulting in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is an age-related thinning of the bones, which may lead to a higher risk of broken hips, ribs, pelvis, weakened bones and stooped posture which comes from an accumulation of small fractures in the vertebrae. Bones become brittle with age, but a calcium rich diet combined with some exercise can go a long way keep bones strong.

The highest concentration of calcium is found in milk. Other foods rich in calcium include vegetables such as collard greens, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, broccoli, bok choy and tofu. Calcium is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological roles. Calcium exists in bone primarily in the form of hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite accounts for approximately 40 percent of bone weight. The skeleton has a structural requisite and acts as a storehouse for calcium. Apart from being needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, calcium contributes to normal muscle function and neurotransmission. Calcium also contributes to normal blood clotting and normal energy metabolism. It contributes to normal cell division and differentiation. Calcium also contributes to normal function of digestive enzymes.

Iron (SunActive® Fe)_‡

Iron is mainly found in citrus fruits, tomatoes, beans, peas, fortified bread and grain products such as cereal (non-heme iron sources). Beef, liver, organ meats and poultry comprise the heme iron sources. The heme iron sources are more absorbable than the non-heme type of iron. Iron is an essential mineral. It is a component of haemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, another protein that carries oxygen in muscle tissue.

Iron is required in red blood cell formation. With this said, teenage girls and women of child bearing age need to consume adequate dietary iron due to their higher requirements. According to the British Nutrition Foundation, a substantial proportion of younger women have inadequate iron intakes The UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey also reported that many teenage girls had a low intake of iron, with 45% of 11-14 years and 50% of 15-18 year-olds having inadequate intakes. Among UK schoolchildren, 46% of 11-to-18 year old girls have very low iron intakes, compared to only 6% of boys in this age group.

Iron plays a part in many imperative biochemical pathways and enzyme systems including those involved with energy metabolism, normal cognitive development and immune system function. Iron has been found to promote normal oxygen transport and contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Iodine

Iodine is found in most seafood and in iodised salt. It is a necessary component of thyroid hormones and helps regulate and maintain a properly functioning metabolism. It also contributes to normal cognitive function, energy-yielding metabolism, maintenance of normal skin, and the nervous system. In 2004, the World Health Organization estimated that 43% of European children 6–12 years of age had insufficient iodine intake, while a 2010 UK study showed that 51% of school age girls were iodine-deficient.

Magnesium

Foods rich in magnesium include unpolished grains, nuts and green vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are potent sources of magnesium because of their chlorophyll content. Meats, starches and milk are less rich sources of magnesium. Refined and processed foods are generally quite low in magnesium. Despite magnesium being available in these wide range of foods, the British Nutrition Foundation reports that one in five women aged 19-34 years have inadequate magnesium intake. The UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey reports that more than half of teenage girls 11-18 years of age have insufficient intakes and more than 20% of boys aged 11-18 years are also at risk of low intakes.

Magnesium is a component of the mineralised part of bone and thus contributes to healthy bone maintenance It also helps maintain normal levels of electrolytes. It plays a key role in the functioning of muscle and nervous tissue. Magnesium is necessary for the normal synthesis of all proteins and energy-yielding metabolism.

Zinc

Zinc is largely found in fortified cereals, red meats, eggs, poultry and certain seafood including oysters. It is a component of multiple enzymes and proteins. It is also involved in the regulation of gene expression. Zinc is an essential trace mineral that has functions in approximately 300 different enzyme reactions. Thus, zinc plays a part in almost all biochemical pathways and physiological processes. More than 90 percent of the body’s zinc is stored in the bones and muscles, but zinc is also found in virtually all body tissues. Zinc supports normal functioning of the immune system, promotes normal cognitive function and supports the maintenance of normal vision.

Selenium
The best dietary sources of selenium include nuts, unrefined grains, brown rice, wheat germ, and seafood. In the body, selenium functions as part of an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase as well as promoting normal growth and proper usage of iodine in thyroid functioning. Selenium also supports the antioxidant effect of vitamin E and is often added to vitamin E supplements. As part of the antioxidant, glutathione peroxidase, selenium plays a direct role in the body’s ability to protect cells from damage by free radicals.

Copper

The richest sources of dietary copper derive from organ meats, seafood, nuts, seeds, wheat bran cereal, whole grain products and cocoa products. Copper contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and supports normal iron transport in the body. It is an essential trace mineral. Copper also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune and nervous system and supports normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Manganese

Manganese is a mineral found in large quantities in both plant and animal matter. The most valuable dietary sources of manganese include whole grains, nuts, leafy vegetables and teas. Manganese is concentrated in the bran of grains, which is often removed during processing. There are several forms of supplementary manganese including manganese gluconate, manganese sulfate, manganese ascorbate, and manganese amino acid chelates.

Only trace amounts of this element can be found in human tissue. Manganese is predominantly stored in the bones, liver, kidney and pancreas. It supports the normal formation of connective tissue, bones, and promotes normal fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

Chromium

Chromium is found naturally in some cereals, meats, poultry, brewer’s yeast, broccoli, prunes mushrooms, fish and beer. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that promotes normal glucose metabolism.. Chromium combines to form something in the body called glucose tolerance factor, or GTF, which helps support normal blood sugar levels. Chromium also contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Potassium
Foods rich in potassium include fresh vegetables and fruits such as bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, avocado, raw spinach, cabbage and celery. Results from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey shows that 17% of 11 – 18 year old boys had inadequate intakes of potassium, while 31% of 11–18 year old girls had inadequate intakes.

Potassium is an essential macromineral that is stored in the muscles and contributes to normal muscle function. It also plays a role in a wide variety of biochemical and physiological processes. Among other things, it supports normal nerve impulses and helps maintain normal blood pressure.

Why is taking a vitamin supplement important? 
A good quality vitamin and mineral supplement creates a sound micronutrient foundation to accompany a balanced diet. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), “Nutrition is the foundation for health and development. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better." 

A vitamin may be broadly defined as a substance that is essential for the maintenance of normal metabolic function, but which is not produced in the body and therefore must be consumed from a source outside the body. They are necessary elements in the process of converting food to energy and in the growth and repair of body tissue. Reduction of vitamin levels over extended periods can result in vitamin deficiency. These shortages may lead to symptoms, which can include loss of appetite, loss of body weight, increased irritability, and sleeplessness or constant drowsiness. Deficiencies of this nature can be easily avoided by adequate vitamin intake. 

Why is Isotonix Multivitamin great for my children? 
Our formula is a delicious and easy-to-take formula for the entire family, especially for fussy children. It is also ideal for anyone who struggles to maintain a healthy diet and everyone who has difficulty swallowing tablets. For parents, you will love that our formula contains no artificial flavours or colouring, and it’s a vegetarian product that also contains no added wheat, soy, yeast, gluten, salt, preservatives or milk (lactose). It is also offered with the fastest and most efficient Isotonix delivery system so nutrients can be delivered into their bodies fast and efficiently. You can also be assured that our product is produced to high GMP quality standards. 

How important are minerals? 
As important as vitamins are, they are useless without minerals. Minerals provide a vital role in nutrition. Although there is rarely much discussion about the benefits they provide, minerals are considered the "unsung" heroes of nutrition. Virtually no nutritional benefit from the various vitamins would be possible without the assistance of one or more key minerals. 

There are a number of vital roles that minerals play in the body. It is their non-organic components that initiate the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and lipids. In addition to their assistance in the metabolic process, minerals aid the regulation of water and electrolyte balance. 

Who should take Isotonix Multivitamin? 
Everyone over the age of 4 would find it beneficial to enhance their diet with Isotonix Multivitamin. Even when eating a balanced diet, it is difficult to consume the optimal amounts of vitamins and minerals each day. Numerous studies have been conducted on the importance of vitamins and minerals. One should supplement with a multivitamin to assure that their daily nutrient intake is balanced and powerful enough to ward against any deficiencies, allowing for the best health possible. 

Why should children take multivitamins? 
Children need vitamins and minerals to maintain good health and normal growth. It is important to ensure that children receive all the vitamins and minerals they need every day, especially during their growing years. The body does not store all essential vitamins and minerals, therefore some need to be supplied on a regular basis. 

In the UK, many children do not get enough vitamins and minerals they need because they do not eat fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains every day. According to the British Nutrition Foundation and the Health Survey for England (2004) only 10% of 5 year olds and 20% of 12 year olds consume the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Isotonix Multivitamin includes vitamins A, C and D, which are recommended by the UK Department of Health who recommend that all children aged six months to five years should be given a supplement that contains these essential vitamins. Also, research shows us that many teenagers (aged 11-18) have low intakes of some vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, riboflavin, iron, calcium and magnesium, and this is most prominent in girls from this age group than boys. 

What are the directions for use? 
For Children Ages 4-10 years: Pour ½ white bottle capful of powder (1.65 grams) into the overcap. Add water half-way to the line on the overcap (30mL) and stir. For Adults and Children 11 years and older: Pour 1 level, white bottle capful of powder into the overcap. Add water to the line on the overcap (60 mL) and stir. As a food supplement, take once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Maximum absorption occurs when taken on an empty stomach. This product is isotonic only if the specified amounts of powder and water are used. 

Why is there vitamin D3 in Calcium Plus and Isotonix Multivitamin? 
Vitamin D3 has been added to the Calcium Plus and the Isotonix Multivitamin to facilitate the uptake of calcium. Vitamin D3 is a hormone that can stimulate the production of calcium-binding proteins, which aid in transporting this essential mineral through cells. The 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 is then transported to critical sites in the body to facilitate calcium uptake. The intestine and bone cells are two of these critical sites. There are groups of people who are not out in the sun for significant lengths of time. Certain racial groups have significant problems in the higher latitudes, especially during the winter, in producing substantial amounts of vitamin D3 and subsequently taking up enough calcium. Even with intense phototherapy for those people requiring significant calcium nutrition, the blood levels of 1,25-OH-vitamin D3 are highly regulated. 

What is the advantage of the Isotonix advanced delivery system? 
 Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do in obtaining maximum absorption. Isotonic products allow nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. With Isotonix, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results. So, Isotonix products also offer the fastest and most efficient delivery system of all nutraceutical supplements and are formulated using only the most advanced and scientifically proven ingredients. Isotonix products are also completely free of binders and fillers common in traditional tablet and capsule products — so you know that you are getting only the quality ingredients you expect.
