New Year’s resolutions require energy and stamina – both to begin and to keep going after January. While staying on track can be a challenge, we have products hand-picked to support your goals, month after month. Our Vitality Bundle brings together two superstar products to keep you feeling energetic and strong into the New Year and beyond. 

Isotonix Activated B-Complex delivers metabolically active forms vitamins B2, B6, and B12 along with several additional B vitamins and select minerals. B vitamins are important for hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body. B vitamin deficiency can lead to fatigue and lethargy, which is why B-complex supplements are excellent energy boosters. But vitamin B benefits go way beyond energy, including contributing to the maintenance of heart function and the immune system. 

Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2 contains vitamin D3, the metabolically active form of Vitamin D, along with Vitamin K2, which supports normal blood clotting and bone health. In addition, these vitamins work together to maintain the body’s normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, as well as contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and the process of cell division. Vitamins D3 and K2 are paired together in Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2, because they work synergistically to support normal bone health. 

Start the New Year strong with the Vitality Bundle.

Isotonix Activated B-Complex

Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) 
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), when ingested, is stored in the liver and other tissues for later use. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation, normal cell division, normal immune system functions and normal homocysteine metabolism. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal neurological and psychological functions, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and contributes to normal energy metabolism. Methylcobalamin is one of the naturally occurring forms of vitamin B12 found in the human body. 

Folic acid
Folate plays a key role by boosting the benefits of vitamin B12 supplementation. Folate contributes to healthy blood cell formation and division, immune system functions, homocysteine metabolism and amino acid synthesis. Folate contributes to psychological functions and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (Vitamin B6) 
Vitamin B6 is a co-factor required for protein and amino acid metabolism and helps maintain proper fluid balance. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal red blood cell formation, the normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems, the regulation of hormonal activity and homocysteine metabolism. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological functions, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal energy metabolism. 

Riboflavin-5-Phosphate (Vitamin B2) 
Vitamin B2 serves as a coenzyme, working with other B vitamins. Vitamin B2 plays a crucial role in turning food into energy as a part of the electron transport chain, driving cellular energy on the micro-level. Since it is water-soluble and cannot be stored by the body except in insignificant amounts, vitamin B2 must be replenished daily. It contributes to the normal metabolism of iron in the body, the maintenance of normal red blood cells and the normal function of the nervous system. This vitamin also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy metabolism. 

Thiamin HCl (Vitamin B1) 
Thiamin or vitamin B1 contributes to the normal functioning of the heart and nervous systems. Thiamine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and psychological functions. 

D-Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) 
Pantothenic acid or vitamin B5 is a water-soluble vitamin that 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. 

Niacin (Vitamin B3) 
Niacin or vitamin B3 contributes to nervous system functions and the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes. Niacin contributes to normal psychological functions, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to normal energy metabolism. 

Biotin 
Biotin contributes to normal nervous system functions and to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and mucous membranes. Biotin contributes to normal psychological functions and contributes to normal energy and macronutrient metabolism. 

Potassium (Bicarbonate) 
Potassium is an electrolyte and an essential macromineral that helps maintain fluid balance in the body. Potassium contributes to nervous system functions, muscle functions and to the maintenance of blood pressure. 

Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin produced by the body when sunlight strikes the skin, activating vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D promotes the efficient absorption of calcium and promotes the normal formation, growth and remodelling of bone. 

Vitamin D deficiency can be caused by factors such as lack of exposure to sunlight, reduced skin synthesis of vitamin D, lower dietary intake, impaired intestinal absorption and reduced metabolism to active forms of vitamin D. Factors contributing to vitamin D deficiency increase with age. Deficiency has been linked to numerous health concerns; insufficient levels of this vitamin are associated with frail bones and muscle weakness. 

Vitamin K2
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, with very little vitamin K stored in the body at any given time. Because of this, without regular dietary intake the body’s store of vitamin K can be rapidly depleted. Natural vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), appears to be more bioavailable and has a longer half-life in the blood than vitamin K1. The Japanese soy-based food natto is particularly rich in menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Studies of natto consumption in Japan have linked menaquinone-7 to bone and cardiovascular health. 

Isotonix Activated B-Complex

1. What does “Activated” refer to in Isotonix Activated B-Complex?
   Activated refers to the active forms of vitamins B6, B12 and folate. Using forms other than these activated forms requires that the vitamins be enzymatically activated prior to utilisation by the body. Not only does this take time and energy within the body, but there are also circumstances in which this reaction is either slowed or inhibited.
   
   
2. What is the source of the vitamin B12 in our Isotonix Activated B-Complex?
   Vitamin B-12 comes from bacteria; it is not synthesised by plants or animals. We get it by taking supplements or by eating eggs or meat. Vegetarians are recommended to take a B vitamin dietary supplement. 
   
   
3. Is it toxic to take too much vitamin B12?
   Studies have found no confirmed reports of toxic side effects from heightened servings of vitamin B12. However, you should only take Isotonix Activated B-Complex as directed on the bottle. 
   
   
4. Are there any warnings or contraindications for Isotonix Activated B-Complex?
   If you are currently using any prescription drugs, have ongoing medical condition or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult your healthcare provider before using this product. 
   
   
5. Is it a vegetarian product?
   Isotonix Activated B-Complex is a vegetarian product.
   
   

Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2

1. Why are vitamins K and D included in Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2?
   Vitamins K and D work together to support the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D also contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and normal functioning of the immune system. 
   
   
2. Is Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2 safe for people on anti-coagulant medications?
   Some studies have suggested that vitamin K2 does not interfere with anticoagulant medications. However, most products containing vitamin K (including K1 and/or K2) warn users taking anticoagulants not to use the product. If you are currently taking anticoagulant medication, you should consult your physician before taking any product containing vitamin K1 or K2. 
   
   
3. Is it safe to take more than 1 serving of this product daily? 
   One serving daily of Isotonix Vitamin D3 with K2 is recommended. Check with your healthcare provider before taking additional daily servings of this product. 
   
   
4. Is there a toxicity level for vitamin D? 
   The recommended daily tolerable upper intake limit for vitamin D is 2,000 IU. If you wish to take more than one daily serving of this product, you should check with your physician. 
   
   
5. What are dietary sources of vitamin D? 
   Foods naturally rich in vitamin D include cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, tuna and eggs.
