Isotonix®綜合維他命沖飲

Isotonix系列產品是最有效的輸送營養補充品之一。配方採用先進和經科學證實的成分，提供高效輸送及卓越的效果。

Isotonix為等滲壓的原因是因為產品與人體內的液體相同，含有幾乎相同的濃縮可溶物，如盬、糖及礦物質。在此濃度下，營養及分子便能有效地通過細胞壁，用作細胞代謝。Isotonix產品配方中的果糖、葡萄糖、檸檬酸、碳酸氫鉀及其他主要成分搭配均衡，以確保正確調配飲用時達到等滲狀態。

Isotonix產品以適當的比例與濃度傳送營養素，以達致最佳的吸收。Isotonix是市場上經科學證實最有效的營養傳輸系統之一。

維他命 A (β 胡蘿蔔素 )
維他命 A 是脂溶性維他命，身體組織藉以促進生長和修護。維他命 A 是視黃醇、視黃醛和 β 胡蘿蔔素等複合物家族的成員。 β 胡蘿蔔素是維他命 A 原，在體內會轉變成維他命 A 。維他命 A 的來源包括了器官肉類 ( 例如肝臟和腎臟 ) 、蛋黃、奶油、牛乳和鱈魚肝油。維他命 A 促進眼睛對於光線的敏感度，並且在低光環境下維持夜視力。維他命 A 支援上皮組織的正常功能，並且有助維持皮膚和黏膜的健康。維他命 A 也幫助牙齒與骨骼的成長與發展。

鈣
鈣質存在於乳製品（牛奶、乳酪、優格）、大白菜、羽衣甘藍和青花椰菜、豆腐和帶刺的沙丁魚。

鈣質是重要的礦物質，具有許多生物功能。鈣質主要是以氫氧基磷灰石的形式 (hydroxyapatite，Ca10 (PO4)6 (OH)2) 存在於骨骼之中。氫氧基磷灰石大約佔骨骼重量40%。骨骼明顯需要補充鈣質，而且骨骼也是鈣質的儲藏室。除了是骨頭和牙齒的主要組成物之外，鈣質也能夠維護正常肌肉收縮、神經傳導、心血管健康、血液凝結、能量製造和維護健康的免疫系統。

鈣質對於健康的骨骼與牙齒非常重要。要維持骨骼密度，每天必須補充足量的鈣質。血液中鈣質的含量是由PTH（副甲狀腺荷爾蒙）調節。當你每天沒有攝取足夠的鈣質，你的身體會從骨骼中吸取鈣質，進而造成骨質流失和骨質疏鬆症。

鎂
富含鎂的食物包括了糙米、堅果和綠色蔬菜。綠葉蔬菜含有豐富的鎂，主要是因為其葉綠素。肉類、澱粉類和牛奶的鎂含量較少。經過加工的食物基本上的鎂含量都很低。某些調查報告指出，低攝取量或透過飲食攝取鎂是不足夠的。

鎂是骨骼構造的必需礦物質，也是成人體內鉀和鈣代謝作用不可或缺的元素。鎂幫助維持鉀、磷、鈣、腎上腺素和胰島素的正常水準。鎂也能提升鈣的調動，在細胞內輸送並且加以利用。鎂維護肌肉和神經組織的功能。鎂與碘、鉀和鈣協同支援心臟、肌肉與神經的正常功能。 錳 錳是一種礦物質，植物和動物都含有大量的錳。錳最佳的飲食來源包含全穀類、堅果、葉菜和茶葉。錳存在於穀糠，但穀糠常在加工過程中去除。只有微量的錳存在於人體組織中。錳主要儲存於骨骼、肝臟、腎臟和胰腺。錳是抗氧化酵素「含錳超氧歧解酶」 (MnSOD) 的成份。

維他命 C
維他命 C 最佳的食物來源包含了所有的柑橘類水果 ( 柳丁、葡萄柚、檸檬、橘子 ) ，以及例如草莓、蕃茄、球花甘藍、球芽甘藍、胡椒和甜瓜等水果與蔬菜。維他命 C 是相當脆弱的維他命，營養價值很容易在烹煮過程或曝露於氧氣而受到傷害。

維他命 C 能促進維他命的「節約」效果，讓身體能夠更加利用多種維他命和礦物質，例如： 硫胺素、核黃素、泛酸、生物素、葉酸、 B12 、 A 醛和 α- 生育酚以及礦物質鈣。它幫助膠原組成。維他命 C 有助維護細胞安排的緊密度。它參與了體內的氧化還原反應。它也支援結締組織、骨骼與牙齒的成長。維他命 C 提升鐵質吸收能力。

維他命 C 已成為這世界最受歡迎的維他命，原因之一是因為它在幫助身體抗炎過程的重要角色 ( 支援免疫系統 ) ，它的另一重要功能是強化血管和牙齦。好處似乎夠多了，但維他命 C 的重要性不僅止於此。

人體需要補充維他命 C 最有說服力的原因在於：人類無法在體內製造維他命 C 。一項測試體重與維他命 C 製造量相對關係的動物實驗顯示：動物能製造出大約相當人類每日服用 3,000 到 7,000 毫克維他命 C 的量。因為維他命 C 為水溶性，它每日都被排除至體外。因為人類無法一直食用含有充足維他命 C 的食物，所以服用維他命 C 補充品相當有益。

維他命 D3
大多數人類獲得維他命 D 的主要途徑就是規律的日曬。維他命 D 的食物來源有維他命 D 強化牛奶、鱈魚肝油和鮭魚等含有大量脂肪的魚類。蛋黃和肝臟也含有少量維他命 D 。

維他命 D3 可以幫助吸收鈣質和磷。它幫助牙齒與骨骼的成長與發展。維他命 D3 也幫助維護血液中鈣的正常水準。維他命 D3 也有助維護神經與肌肉的正常功能，並且幫助骨骼的鈣化。

維他命 E
維他命 E 是體內最有效的脂溶性抗氧化物，維他命 E 保護細胞膜免於自由基的傷害，它能增強免疫功能及外傷的痊癒。維他命 E 也能幫助支持心血管健康。維他命 E 最佳的飲食來源有蔬菜油、人造奶油、堅果、種籽、鱷梨和小麥胚芽。紅花油富含大量的維他命 E ，而玉米油和大豆油的含量則較少。

維他命 E 和生育醇 (tocopherols) 與三烯生育醇 (tocotrienols) 同屬相關的複合物家族。維他命 E 能以自然或複合形式獲得。自然形式的維他命 E 在體內吸收與保持能力較佳。我們使用的配方就是採用自然形式的維他命 α- 生育酚，或稱為右旋維他命 E 。

鉀
富含鉀的食物包括了新鮮蔬果，例如香蕉、柳丁、哈蜜瓜、鱷梨、生菠菜、甘藍菜和芹菜。鉀是幫助維持體液平衡的巨量礦物質。在眾多生化和生理過程中，鉀都扮演重要的角色。

維他命 B12
維他命 B12 ，可以在器官肉類、肝臟、牛肉、豬肉、蛋類、全脂牛奶、乳酪、全麥麵包和魚類獲得。除了少量取自味噌和天貝等發酵豆類製品及花生外，維他命 B12 只能在動物製品中獲得。對於素食者而言，服用維他命 B12 以維持最佳健康狀態是很必要的。維他命 B12 在消化時，會被儲存到肝臟和其他組織，以利日後使用。維他命 B12 參與能量代謝，能維護皮膚健康。

維他命 B 群 (B1 、菸鹼胺、泛酸、生物素 )
維他命 B 群主要存在於肉類、豆類、穀類、蛋、堅果、種籽和啤酒酵母。維他命 B1 參與能量代謝過程。它有助維護神經系統與心血管系統的正常功能。菸鹼胺參與能量代謝。它維護健康的皮膚、神經與消化系統。泛酸與生物素參與能量代謝。它們也參與脂肪和膽固醇的組成過程，並且幫助胺基酸代謝。

葉酸
葉酸主要存在於水果和蔬菜。深色的綠葉蔬菜、柳丁、柳丁汁、豆類和豌豆和啤酒酵母都是提供維他命 B 群最佳的來源。葉酸可以提升維他命 B12 補充物的益處。這二種維他命 B 協力合作，維護正常的紅血球細胞。葉酸是輔酵素構成成份。葉酸參與核酸與核蛋白的組成過程。它也幫助維護胎兒的正常成長與發展

維他命 B2
維他命 B2 存在於肝臟、乳製品、深綠色蔬菜和某些種類的海鮮。維他命 B2 作為輔酵素，和其他的維他命 B 協同作用。維他命 B2 參與能量代謝，並且維護皮膚健康。

維他命 B6
維他命 B6 的主要來源是家禽、魚類、全穀類和香蕉。維他命 B6 是一種輔酵素，參與蛋白質和胺基酸的代謝轉化，並且幫助維持適當的體液平衡。維他命 B6 參與胺基酸的代謝。維他命 B6 幫助色胺酸轉變為菸鹼酸。維他命 B6 有助維護健康的紅血球細胞及神經系統。維他命 B6 應該加入其他維他命 B 群，以達到最佳效果。

碘
碘的來源是海鮮及加碘食鹽。碘有助維持正常成長與發展

硒
硒最佳的飲食來源包含堅果、未加工穀類、糙米、小麥胚芽和海鮮。

銅
銅是人類食物營養中必要的微量礦物質，它對一系列維護健康的生化過程是很重要的。銅的最佳飲食來源是堅果、種籽、小麥麩皮穀類、全麥製品、肝臟、腎臟、貝類海鮮、牡蠣和甲殼海鮮。一些實驗性質的報告指出，缺乏銅的人補充銅劑可能有助他們的免疫功能。

鉻
鉻是必要的微量礦物質，能夠幫助身體構成葡萄糖耐量因數 (GTF) ，維護正常的葡萄糖代謝、胰島素水準、調節血糖值的活動以及控制食量。鉻幫助維護血液中血糖、膽固醇和其他油脂的健康值。在瘦身業，許多人把鉻視為體重控制不可或缺的礦物質，因為鉻幫助身體結實和增加肌肉。百分之九十以上的美式飲食無法提供鉻的建議用量。

鉻天然存在於某些啤酒酵母、穀類加工食品、青花椰菜、梅乾、菇類、啤酒、香料、紅糖、咖啡、茶、葡萄酒和肉類中。

鋅
鋅大多存在於營養強化的穀類加工食品、紅肉、蛋、家禽和牡蠣等海鮮。鋅是多種酵素和蛋白質的組成物。鋅是一種重要的微量礦物質，參與三百多種不同的酵素反應。因此，鋅支援幾乎所有的生化路徑和生理過程。體內超過 90% 的鋅都儲存於骨骼和肌肉，但是幾乎所有的身體組織也能發現鋅。鋅參與核酸和蛋白質組成，以及能量代謝。

假如已經每天食用Isotonix® 綜合維他命沖飲，還需要食用Isotonix®全效維他命B群沖飲嗎？
