WPI is 90% fat free, lactose free, making it effectively absorbed by body tissue. It possesses all essential amino acids and is a rich source of branched chain amino acids which metabolize directly into muscle tissue. They are first first to be used in physical exercise. exercise.

Nutrient 3: Low Glycemic Carbs- High glycemic carbs such as candy, soda and processed foods increase one’s blood sugar rapidly. This in turn signals the pancreas to secrete insulin, which over the next few hours sharply reduces blood sugar levels causing hunger and cravings.

Specifically, B12 deficiencies are common among people over 50, due to their decreased ability ab ility to produce the stomach acids necessary to separate B12 from the protein in food. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University also reported that women with breast cancer have lower levels of B12 than those without breast cancer. Studies conducted at the Mayo Clinic reported deficiencies of the B Complex group can lead to increased risks of:
1. AnemiaAnemia- an insufficie insufficient nt of red blood cells cells necessary necessary for for oxygen transpor transport. t. Symptoms include fatigue and weakness. 2. Abnormal Abnormal neurologic neurologic and psychotic psychotic conditions conditions-- symptoms symptoms include include memory loss, loss, muscle muscle weakness and mood disturbances 3.

Product Four: IONIX Supreme IONIX Supreme is a nutrient rich drink is made with the finest ingredients on the planet. It includes a proprietary blend of plant adaptagens, isalyte trace minerals and B Complex vitamins.
Adaptagens are naturally occurring substances found in rare plants and herbs. They were discovered by Israel Brekhman, M.D., a renowned Russian research pharmacologist and physiologist. Brekhman coined the term adaptagen as a plant type with certain characteristics: 1. It is is absolu absolutel tely y safe safe and and non toxi toxicc 2. It increases increases the the body’s resist resistance ance to internal internal and external external stress stressors ors 3. It brings brings any dis-functi dis-functioning oning body body system system back back into into balance. balance. The discovery by Brekhman paved the way for a large number of clinical trials and experimental studies on the health and performance benefits be nefits of adaptagens. The result of these studies has shown adaptagens can successfully combat the negative effects of stress, improve health and well being and enhance athletic performance. (Avery 1995) This research has also shown adaptagens to be powerful antioxidants which inhibit the action of free radicals. Free radicals attack and destroy cells. IONIX Supreme contains over 25 of these adaptagens. Ionix Supreme is a rich rich source of fulvic acid.
