Chromium Picolinate
Chromium picolinate is an essential trace mineral. Chromium picolinate is good for individuals trying to lose weight since it helps retain muscle mass. When muscle tissue is lost, it may reduce the metabolic rate.*

Chromium Arginate
Chromium arginate is a form of chromium that is bonded with the essential amino acid Arginine. Like chromium picolinate, it too can support the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates. 

Together with chromium picolinate, chromium arginate helps to support cardiovascular health. It also may assist in stabilizing healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, preserve lean muscle mass and control sugar cravings.*

Co-enzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 belongs to a family of substances called ubiquinones, and is a fat-soluble, wax-like substance that is part of the respiratory chain. It is synthesized in the cells and is involved in electron transport and energy production in mitochondria where about 95 percent of the total energy required by the human body is generated. In the cellular system, CoQ10 functions to generate energy from oxygen, in the form of ATP. CoQ10 also exhibits activity as a free radical scavenger and an antioxidant. The antioxidant activity in the mitochondria and cell membranes protects against peroxidation of lipid membranes.* 

Coenzyme Q10 can be found in spinach, broccoli, nuts, meats and fish. In the body, it is found in highest concentration in the cells of the heart, liver, kidney, spleen and pancreas, which all require vast amounts of energy. Supplementation with CoQ10 may be most beneficial for adults because the levels of CoQ10 in the body tend to peak around the age of twenty and then decline with age. 

L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is an amino acid that is found in nearly all cells of the body. L-carnitine supports fat metabolism in the heart, organs and tissue. L-carnitine occurs naturally in animal products and only very small amounts are found in plants, with a few exceptions, such as avocado and some fermented soy products. It also plays an essential role in transporting long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell, which results in additional energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). L-carnitine is synthesized in the body, mainly in the liver and kidneys, from the essential amino acids L-lysine and L-methionine.*

Lipase
Lipase is a fat-digesting enzyme that supports the body’s normal break down of dietary fats into an absorbable form. Lipases, such as human pancreatic lipase, support the normal conversion of triglyceride substrates found in oils from food to monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Some lipases also work within the interior spaces of living cells to support the normal degradation of lipids.

Why is fructose in Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink?
Fructose is the sweetest of all naturally-occurring sugars. It helps to make Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink pleasant-tasting with fewer calories. Consuming fructose does not produce the extreme “highs” and “lows” in blood sugar levels that ordinary table sugar might. 

What is the best way to take Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink?
Because Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink contains CoQ10, a fat soluble co-enzyme, Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink is best taken with a meal.

Is chromium picolinate safe?
Yes. Over 35 clinical trials have been conducted to analyze chromium picolinate and its effects. 

Can you get L-carnitine from any food sources?
Yes, L-carnitine can be found in meats, vegetables and grains. It typically comes in higher concentrations in red meats such as beef or lamb, and in lower concentrations in white meats and vegetables. 

What are the other ingredients in Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink useful for?
Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink also includes boron, potassium, and vitamins B2 and B6. Potassium is a mineral that helps maintain fluid balance in the body, promotes normal nerve transmission, muscle relaxation and protein synthesis and proper heartbeat. Vitamin B2 supports energy production, and supports the normal breakdown of fats while functioning as a cofactor in activating vitamin B6 and folic acid. Vitamin B6 helps to promote protein metabolism, supports the conversion of linoleic to arachidonic acid and promotes the normal synthesis of brain chemicals, niacin, antibodies, red blood cells, DNA and elastin.

Is Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink safe?
Isotonix Isochrome Powder Drink is safe and free of harmful agents. The product is made in the United States in FDA-inspected facilities using Good Manufacturing Practices. Customers can have confidence in the quality and safety of this product.
