The Science of Isotonix

Everything you eat and drink, including nutritional supplements, must be made isotonic before passing into your small intestine where it can be absorbed.

“Isotonic” means having the same fluid pressure as your other bodily fluids like blood and tears. When you eat food, drink a beverage, or take a pill or capsule, your stomach must first secrete diluting juices, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and at least one vitamin-binding protein to continue the process of digestion. Muscular contractions of your stomach then mix the contents until a reasonably uniform solution is achieved.This process can take anywhere from 40 minutes to four hours.

In the time that it takes for most pills and capsules to disintegrate, and their contents to dissolve and transform to the proper isotonic state, much of their activity is lost. During digestion, the important micronutrients in pills and capsules can get trapped by fats, fibers, and tannins or inactivated by the highly acidic pH level of your stomach.

Isotonix Absorption

Absorption of the digestive tract
01

Isotonix Solutions

Isotonix solutions enter the digestive tract in a form that supplies nutrients at just the right rate, eliminating the need for further breakdown in the stomach with a 95% absorption rate.
02

Quick Absorption

Tablets and capsules may remain in your digestive tract for hours, due to the need to break them down. Unlike other products, Isotonix solutions are in a form that allows for quick absorption.

Isotonix Powder

Isotonix products are powders, none of the fillers, binders and coatings that are common to tablet manufacturing. As a result, the amount of time and work necessary to absorb a supplement is greatly decreased.

About Gastric Emptying

Why is gastric (stomach) emptying time so important?

To maximize efficacy and use of macro- and micronutrients, it is recommended that nutrient supplements be administered in an isotonic form.

Why is gastric emptying time stressed when talking about Isotonix?

Nutrients that are already isotonic do not need to be broken down into an isotonic state. Therefore, gastric emptying occurs more rapidly. Biological sensors in the gastrointestinal tract detect that the ingested solution is isotonic and at a correct pH. This causes the pyloric valve at the lower end of the stomach to remain open, allowing the concentrated solution to be squirted into the small intestine by stomach contractions. Absorption of the nutrients by the intestinal mucosa then starts to occur.
