What Makes Isotonix® Might-A-Mins® Children’s Multivitamins Unique?

It is often difficult to make sure that your kids are maintaining a healthy, well-balanced diet and receiving the proper amount of vitamins and minerals. It can be an even bigger challenge today due to children eating away from home, at school, friend’s houses and fast food restaurants. With Perfect Fit’s Isotonix® Might-A-Mins®, you can provide your children with the proper daily allowances of most vitamins and minerals that are best for them.

Isotonix Might-A-Mins contains 12 vitamins and 10 essential minerals, along with phytonutrients from a proprietary blend of fruits and vegetables. With this formula your children can enjoy the benefits of fruits and vegetables daily, without them even knowing or complaining about them. Phytonutrients are plant extracts that have been found to play an important role in helping the body help itself.  It has been established that phytonutrients reduce oxidation, counteract environmental pollutants and support a healthy heart. Research has also shown that they naturally help boost the immune system. Also added to the formula is a special blend of probiotics, which are “good bacteria” essential for proper digestion. Iron has been eliminated from the Might-A-Mins formula due to its potential toxicity, especially for children under six, and also because kids usually get plenty of iron from the foods that they eat.

Special care has been taken in selecting the proper nutritional ingredients. For example, the beta-carotene contains other naturally occurring carotenoids that include a healthy dose of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are both proven to support healthy vision and promote healthy eyes. The Vitamin E that is included in the formula, d-Alpha tocopheryl succinate, is naturally occurring, and found to be the best source of Vitamin E, when working in coordination with support nutrients. The proprietary blend of phytonutrients include extracts from apples, broccoli, carrots, cranberries, grapes, kiwi fruit, lemon, limes, oranges, peaches, pineapples, raspberries, spinach, strawberries and tomatoes. Other nutrients include:

  • Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene)
  • Vitamin B-Complex (Vitamins B1, 2, 3, 6, 5, 8, 12 and Biotin)
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D3
  • Calcium
  • Chromium
  • Copper
  • Vitamin E
  • Iodine
  • Magnesium
  • Manganese
  • Selenium
  • Silicon
  • Potassium (Bicarbonate)
  • Zinc

Absorption and efficiency of nutritional supplements are also two important features to examine when selecting a nutritional supplement and Isotonix Might-A-Mins contains both. This supplement is in the form of an isotonic fluid, which ensures that the nutrients are efficiently absorbed. No more pills to swallow or chew. The stomach has very little work to do because the pH and tonicity are carefully designed to allow the stomach to quickly release all the nutrients into the small intestine. It is usually taken on an empty stomach and when the isotonic fluid enters the body, it is delivered to the small intestine, nutritionally concentrated. Then it is quickly absorbed into the blood stream maximizing the amount used by the body. With the Isotonix Might-A-Mins formula, this process takes about five minutes, where a standard vitamin tablet can take up to four hours.

When taken as directed, whether your children are 3 or 10, this formula is a complete nutritional source. Isotonix Might-A-Mins with Phytonutrients is the perfect way to fill the nutritional gap that today’s lifestyles can create in our children from the types of foods they eat.

Product of the Month: Isotonix® Resveratrol

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

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 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 that it 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 three bottles 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 or more specifically, Resveravine®, which is a more concentrated form of resveratrol, ensures that the body reaps all of the benefits of resveratrol, without the ill effects from three bottles of wine.

Isotonix® Resveratrol is an isotonic-capable supplement, made from three patented ingredients, Resveravine with 20% resveratrol extract, BioVin® Advanced with 5% resveratrol extract, and VitaBlue® (wild blueberry extract), designed to promote normal cell health. 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. Resveravine is a combination of trans-resveratrol (20% purity) and viniferin extracted from vine stems, which work synergistically to enhance the effectiveness of resveratrol extract. Trans-resveratrol is 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.

Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to obtain maximum absorption of the nutrients. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and rapidly absorb into the bloodstream. 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 in an isotonic state.

With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.
