NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK: Cleanse Days Combat Weight Gain and Oxidative Stress

One or two days a week of Cleanse Day-style calorie reduction similar if not more beneficial than dieting for shedding weight and oxidative stress, study suggests.

Worried you ate too much at Thanksgiving or during the holiday season? Following the festivities with a couple of Cleanse Days is an effective way to get back on track by compensating for the extra calories eaten. Results from a study published recently in the International Journal of Obesity show just that.

In a randomized trial on 107 middle-aged, overweight or obese women, researchers compared intermittent calorie restriction—similar to Cleanse Days on an Isagenix system—with continuous calorie restriction (regular dieting). It was one of the first human trials to ever compare the two weight-management strategies. Over the six-month study, researchers took measurements including weight, total body fat, blood pressure, and blood sampling to determine changes in weight and insulin resistance.

The study assigned the women to either consume a continuous calorie-restricted diet (25 percent below estimated requirements daily) or a diet that restricted calories by 75 percent for two days a week, the other five days followed the estimated requirements for weight maintenance.

The women in the calorie-restricted group followed a Mediterranean-type diet. The diet contained 30 percent calories from fat (most being monounsaturated fat like olive oil as found in IsaLean Shake), 45 percent calories from low-glycemic carbohydrates, and 25 percent calories from protein. The intermittent calorie-restriction group followed the same diet, but for two days consumed only about 492 to 541 calories each day—that’s not quite as low in calories as the average Cleanse Day of about 150 calories daily, but it’s pretty close.

At the end of the six months, the researchers found that both groups were comparable in total weight loss and improvements in several risk markers for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and several cancers. However, the intermittent calorie restriction group appeared to have greater improvements in insulin sensitivity and oxidative stress markers.The increased insulin sensitivity from intermittent calorie restriction may be related to the significant decrease of insulin in the body during a one-or-two-day reduced intake in calories, which was followed by regular calorie intake. The authors called for future trials that look into the effects that intermittent calorie restriction has on insulin and glucose metabolism.

They wrote, intermittent calorie restriction “may be offered as an equivalent alternative to” dieting “for weight loss and reducing disease risk.”

Previously, research reviews have also speculated that intermittent calorie restriction might be linked to better disease prevention than continuous fasting because of increased resistance to oxidative stress—results from this study may support this assertion.

For those on an Isagenix system, these findings support the importance of Cleanse Days. They may offer similar if not more benefits than regular dieting for weight loss. Unlike normal intermittent calorie restriction, drinking Cleanse for Life also supports the body nutritionally, adds antioxidant protection, and promotes detoxification because of its content of herbs, vitamins, and minerals.

NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK: Choosing The Right Chocolate for Heart and Brain Health

By now you might have heard the great news: chocolate is unmistakably good for you. And chocoholics are certain to rejoice with the findings of a systematic review in the British Medical Journal (1) that suggests enjoying chocolate daily may bring better health to their hearts. Chocolate’s benefits are mainly the result of cocoa powder’s rich content of antioxidant flavanols. But here’s a caution—don’t let the media attention fool you into gorging on the wrong kind of chocolate!

While most chocolate varieties (except white) do offer some degree of heart-healthy cocoa powder, they can also contain relatively high amounts of calories from not-so-healthy sources such as refined sugars and solid fats. These types of chocolate may hinder or side track your health and weight management goals. You can make the most of each delicious bite by choosing a variety that is sure to provide you the greatest benefits.

Dark chocolate, for example, is generally lower in calories and contains relatively minor amounts of sugar and solid fats. And, to be called dark, it must be made of at least 70 percent cocoa powder, which raises its health potential. Yet, it should be noted, not all dark chocolates are alike. Careful manufacturing makes certain the final delivery of healthy doses of antioxidant flavonols.

Take IsaDelight Plus™ dark chocolate pieces, for instance, which are the product of the chocolatiering know-how of Isagenix VP Product Innovation Pierre Teissier, Ph.D., combined with the expertise of Isagenix scientists, and the true-to-life clinical experiences of Scientific Advisory Board member Paul Anderson, M.D.

These are manufactured to be superior in their delivery of potent doses of antioxidant flavonols alongside green tea antioxidant epicatechins and mood-boosting B vitamins and amino acids. 

Every two chocolate pieces provides an ORAC score of 5,200 (the antioxidant strength equivalent of a cup of blueberries)!

The findings from the BMJ review, along with other recent studies, are adding only more reason that flavonol-rich dark chocolate should be enjoyed for a mix of health attributes:

• New research in Spain evaluated cocoa in a human intervention study and found that it acts on several proteins implicated with reducing oxidative stress, which is a factor of aging (2).
• A recent meta-analysis from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston evaluated 10 randomized, clinical trials that demonstrated that cocoa may help with managing healthy lipids (3).
• New research from the University of Reading suggests dark chocolate may improve cognition and visual performance (4).
• A recent meta-analysis from University of Adelaide evaluated 13 randomized, controlled trials and found that flavonol-rich dark chocolate was superior to a placebo in supporting healthy blood pressure (5).

More than a simple confection, IsaDelight Plus is designed as a “guilt-free pleasure” for satisfying cravings, assisting with weight management, and easing through Isagenix Cleanse Days. Now, the latest research shows that each decadent piece may be good for your heart, help keep your body young, all while boosting mood,  vision, and brain performance.

NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK: How Much Vitamin C Do You Really Need?

Higher intake of vitamin C may be needed to maintain healthy tissues.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid (ascorbate), is the most frequently taken dietary supplement in North America. Yet, despite its widespread use, national surveys report that 15 percent of the population still doesn’t get enough vitamin C to meet recommended amounts for health.

Initially, the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for vitamin C was set at 60 milligrams, the amount required to prevent scurvy. The deficiency disease—commonly characterized by bleeding gums and loosened teeth helped identify the vitamin as having an essential role in collagen formation.

However, more recent research has now made it clear that more dietary vitamin C is needed to saturate body tissues such as the brain, heart, liver, and adrenal glands.

Consequently, in 2000, the RDI was raised to 90 and 75 milligrams daily for men and women. The new values were based on studies suggesting that plasma vitamin C should be maintained at specific levels (~80 µmol/L) for good health and antioxidant activity.

This is how the “debate on how much of vitamin C is needed” began—with scientists discussing two questions:

• How much vitamin C is really needed to make an impact on plasma levels?
• Are plasma levels really the best indication of tissue saturation levels?

Of Mice and Vitamin C 

While there is still not any consensus on this matter, a new, carefully designed study just published in the February issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provides some clues for answering these questions.

In the study, New Zealand researchers compared “normal” mice vitamin C tissue saturation levels with “knockout” mice that were genetically engineered to lack the enzyme needed for synthesizing vitamin C in the body.

Without dietary vitamin C, they saw that tissue concentrations of ascorbate became deficient weeks before the onset of scurvy symptoms in the mice, similar to humans. During these weeks, the scientists observed that the mice exhibited signs of impaired collagen synthesis, changes in aortic wall structure, formation of atherosclerotic plaque, and activation of inflammatory processes.

Sustaining Tissue Concentration

The scientists observed that each tissue became deficient at different rates. For example, the brain maintained its vitamin C longer than other organs; however, after just two weeks of deficiency, vitamin C in the brain became depleted. To replenish these tissues to normal levels, plasma concentration had to be maintained saturated with daily ascorbate intakes.

In addition, they found that tissue levels of ascorbate became saturated more quickly when the mice ate kiwi fruit versus sodium ascorbate in water—the flavonoids present in kiwi are thought to enhance absorption of vitamin C by maintaining it in a reduced state (versus an oxidized state).

Lastly, based on the new evidence, the researchers wrote that the current RDI should receive no less than a 60 percent boost—from 75 milligrams per day to at least 120 milligrams per day—to keep not only plasma levels saturated, but also tissue levels of the brain, and organs that are unable to be measured with current methods.

The vitamin C researchers stressed the need for people to maintain an ongoing and constant vitamin C intake to sustain tissue concentration—which means consuming the scientists’ recommended amounts regularly.

What Weight Has to Do with Vitamin C

Another less well-known role of vitamin C is its involvement as a cofactor in the biosynthesis of carnitine, a molecule required for burning fat as energy fuel (fatty acid oxidation).

Interestingly, there is a direct inverse relationship with obesity (adiposity) and plasma vitamin C concentrations—as plasma ascorbate levels are decreased, fatty tissue increases (adiposity increases).

This association has led researchers to wonder whether or not decreased vitamin C levels cause less carnitine to be synthesized and if there is a relationship between less carnitine and less burning of fat for fuel.

Preliminary findings are that subjects who are vitamin C depleted have lower levels of carnitine leading to a 25 percent decrease in fatty acid oxidation (per kilogram body weight) than individuals whose vitamin C status is adequate.

The researchers speculate that reduced fat oxidation seen with vitamin C depletion may result in weight gain by two mechanisms:

• Indirectly, decreased carnitine leads to increased fatigue during exercise and this may lead to exercise intolerance
• Directly, by lipid (fat) accumulation

The prevalence of obesity in the world currently has led researchers to suggest that more attention is needed to the problem of vitamin C deficiency affecting at least 15 percent of the population, if not more.

ISAGENIX C-LYTE

Energizing Vitamin C combined with antioxidant protection helps keep your body in peak health and provides your immune system with 24 hour support

- utilizes three forms of vitamin C, including calcium, magnesium and sodium ascorbates

- one capsule contains 520 mg of non-acidic, buffered vitamin C.  Equal to more than 5 cups of orange juice

- Vitamin C also helps protect against prenatal health problems, eye disease, aging skin and free radical damage.

How is C-Lyte different from other vitamin C products?
C-Lyte utilities three forms of vitamins, including calcium, magnesium and sodium ascorbates. Calcium ascorbate is a natural form of vitamin C, which is much more readily absorbed in the blood stream than other forms of calcium. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. It is essential to build the bones and teeth and numerous metabolic functions. Sodium ascorbate is the most used form of vitamin C in high dosage medical research studies. C-Lyte is made using a proprietary process. This results in a pH-neutral product that contains naturally occurring vitamin-C metabolites, which create quick absorption and maximum retention. Metabolites activate the vitamin C molecules and make it much easier for your body to transport them from cell to cell, helping to increase health benefits.


How do I use C-Lyte?
We recommend taking one capsule of C-Lyte daily. Recent studies, however, show that taking greater doses of Vitamin C may be beneficial. You may take more C-Lyte per day as needed for immune system support.

Why is C-Lyte important to the body?
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body
tissues. It’s involved in many body functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing and the maintenance of cartilage, bones and teeth. The human body is unable to produce vitamin C. It comes from food and supplements such as C-Lyte. Vitamin C is one of the safest and most effective nutrients. Diverse benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, prenatal health problems, eye disease, aging skin and immunity to living longer. Vitamin C also protects your body against environmental damage.* According to research, vitamin C may help to offer health benefits in these areas:

• Stress*
• Colds*
• Skin aging*

How much Vitamin C should I be getting daily?
According to dietary intake and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, most adults don’t get enough vitamin C intheir diets. Vitamin C is not stored in the body (excess amounts are excreted), so overdose is not a concern. But it’s important not to exceed the safe upper limit of 2,000 mg a day to avoid stomach upset and diarrhea.

C-LYTE is always available at wholesale for you.  Simply log into your account or email me today at debofitt@gmail.com to order.  C-LYTE comes as part of the Ageless Essentials With Product B Daily Pack or ala carte.

Lose Stubborn Fat With More Whey From Dairy

Eating more protein from dairy may boost fat loss, especially around the belly, according to new study.

Does the phrase “weight-loss plateau” ring a bell? If you’ve ever embarked on a weight-loss journey, it more than likely does. And now there’s good news for you—results from a just-published study show that losing more belly fat and gaining more muscle is easier by eating more protein from dairy. The researchers credit the results to the whey protein fraction of the milk.  

The study, published in the September issue of the Journal of Nutrition, followed 90 overweight or obese women (aged 19-45) for 16 weeks as they followed a weight-loss program—500 calories lower than normal. The women were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the first group consumed 0 to 1 servings of dairy each day (low dairy and adequate protein), the second group consumed 3 to 4 servings of dairy each day (medium dairy and adequate protein), and the third group consumed 6 to 7 servings of dairy each day (high dairy and high protein). One serving of dairy was equal to about 1 cup of milk or about 1.5 ounces of cheese.

The diets were designed so that the women consuming the most dairy were eating two times more protein and lower carbohydrates than the other two groups, and twice the amount of dairy than the medium dairy group. All women engaged in an exercise program that included aerobic exercise five times a week and resistance training two times.

At the end of 16 weeks the women in the high dairy and high protein group lost significantly more fat, particularly belly fat, and gained more muscle mass than the women in the other two groups. All the women in the study lost weight, but lead author of the study and graduate student in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University, Andrea Josse, points out, “One hundred percent of the weight lost in the higher-protein, high-dairy group was fat. And the participants gained muscle mass, which is a major change in body composition.”

Body composition after weight loss is important because as with any weight-loss program, fat is lost, but at the same time so is muscle, which may help explain the “plateau” effect. Not only that, but muscle plays a crucial role in regulating levels of glucose and fats in the blood, which means losing muscle could have negative effects on long-term metabolic health.

Also detrimental to preserving metabolic health is belly fat, or visceral fat. “Fat in the abdomen is thought to be especially bad for cardiovascular and metabolic health, and it seems—according to what we found in this study—increasing calcium and protein in the diet may help to further promote loss of fat from the worst storage area in the body,” Josse said.

The authors suggest the increased fat loss seen with higher consumption of dairy is “likely related to other bioactive components such as the protein fraction [whey] rich in branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine).”

Seven Tips for Healthy Aging

Seven Tips for Healthy Aging

With recent news of preliminary data that U.S. life expectancy is down for the first time since 2004 — dropping to age 77.8 overall – there is yet more talk about what people can really do for themselves to live successfully into old age.

Successful aging is crucial, now more than ever, considering the drastic rise in an aging population that scientists have said may soon cause a ”global aging crisis” bringing with it enormous challenges to countries worldwide.

With the recent introduction of Product B™ Antioxidant plus Telomere Support, we turned to Isagenix Founder and Master Formulator John Anderson, who has dedicated himself to researching the topic.

What is Product B and why do I need it? “Product B is an advanced dietary supplement that is designed to support longevity and healthy aging. Product B works directly within the body’s cells to combat oxidative stress caused by an overabundance of free radicals and to support telomeres, critical guardians of our DNA. Keeping telomeres healthy and long is important because their shortening is a key biomarker of the aging process. In our modern world, unfortunately, most of us suffer from greater oxidative stress due to being overweight, malnourished, and overstressed. Greater oxidative stress leads to an increased rate of telomere shortening. Product B works to reduce the harmful effects oxidative stress has on telomere length.”

We also asked him what he considered as the best advice to give people for the sake of healthy aging.

“In today’s toxic world, we need all the help we can get to protect ourselves against foreign invaders entering our bodies every second of every day,” he said. “We age from the time we are conceived until the time we die. Most people have accepted this as being normal and do nothing because they feel like the battle has been lost.”

According to Anderson, however, it is indeed possible to fight aging with simple (yet complex), proven ways to help us to achieve healthy, long lives.

Here are John Anderson’s 7 tips for healthy aging:

1. Choose healthy foods that are dense in nutrients. Shop for your foods on the outer aisles of your grocery store and spend most of your time in the organic fruits and vegetables sections.
2. Cleanse daily using botanicals and ingredients shown to assist in the removal of toxins.
3. Exercise daily. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity.
4. Practice healthy sleep habits. You know the rule: eight hours a night is the ideal.
5. Reduce stress–this is not easy sometimes, but finding ways to solve the cause of stress in your life is absolutely necessary.
6. Take antioxidants, botanicals, omega-3s, vitamins, minerals, and other quality nutrients that fight aging and support your body. There is nothing better than the convenient packets of Ageless Essentials™ Daily Pack with Product B. Get all of your daily nutrients needed for youthful aging and vibrant energy all in a handy packet and never have to struggle with another pill bottle again.
7. Add at least 1 to 2 IsaLean® Shake servings to your regimen daily (to replace meals) because it’s proven that nutrient density and low caloric intake is helpful in slowing aging and ensuring proper weight control.

Why do the products work so enchantingly well? How do they amaze people with weight loss, muscle building, and more energy? You could say The World Leader in Nutritional Cleansing, Replenishing, and Youthful Aging has a few tricks up its sleeves backed by the science of cleansing, minimized calories, and maximized nutrition.

Most low-calorie diets are strictly catabolic (causing tissue breakdown): fat and muscle break down, hunger is continuous, and feelings of fatigue are normal. Furthermore, these types of diets provide less than optimal nutrition to power the body or quality protein necessary to prevent long-term muscle loss. Micronutrient intake falters and cells begin to function less efficiently. Similarly, water (or even juice) fasting is short-term starvation, is catabolic, and puts the body into “slower metabolism” to conserve energy. In addition there are little if any nutrients provided by fasting, including the ones necessary for detoxification and guarding against toxins and oxidative stress.

In contrast, Cleanse Days provide a “jump start” for people so they can take control of their health and see wonderful results. Cleanse Days stimulate reduction of fat deposits that release stored toxins. The smaller the fat cells become, the less pro-inflammatory cytokines (signaling molecules) they produce—further reducing ill effects on the body. Cleanse for Life facilitates a healthier body by encouraging detoxification of these toxins whether they be endogenous (produced by the body) or exogenous (from our diets or environment). Cleanse Days provide some fuel and nutrients, thus allowing the digestion processes to rest and promoting detoxification in the liver and kidneys.

Increase Your Water Intake to Accelerate Weight Loss

The potion for losing that excess body fat is all around you. It covers two thirds of the planet. If you eat right and exercise at the intensity, frequency and duration proper for you, but still can’t get rid of a little paunch here and there, you could just not be drinking enough water.  New research validates your trainer's urging to drink more water—increased water intake yields faster weight loss.

Not drinking enough water could lead to excess body fat, poor muscle tone, digestive complications, muscle soreness -- even water-retention problems.

Next to air, water is the element most necessary for survival.  A normal adult is 60 to 70 percent water.  We can go without food for almost two months, but without water only a few days.  Yet most people have no idea how much water they should drink.  In fact, many live in a dehydrated state.

Without water, we'd be poisoned to death by our own waste products.  When the kidneys remove uric acid and urea, these must be dissolved in water.  If there isn't enough water, wastes are not removed as effectively and may build up as kidney stones.  Water also is vital for chemical reactions in digestion and metabolism.  It carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells through the blood and helps to cool the body through perspiration.  Water also lubricates our joints.

We even need water to breathe:  our lungs must be moist to take in oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide.  It is possible to lose a pint of liquid each day just exhaling.

During the HOT summer months, we need even more hydration.

HOW MUCH?

Your goal of water intake should be half of your body weight in ounces of water daily (again - more in those summer months and more if you exercise).  How much water you drink often is dependent upon how long and how strenuous your exercise program is. If you exercise strenuously, you should drink 1 cup of water every 15 minutes of exercise. If you are performing moderate exercise, 1/2 cup every 15 minutes should be sufficient.

Your intake should be spread throughout the day and evening.  You may wonder:  If I drink this much, won't I constantly be running to the bathroom?  Yes.  But after a few weeks, your bladder tends to adjust and you urinate less frequently but in larger amounts.

And by consuming half your body weight in ounces of water throughout the day, you could be on your way to a healthier, leaner body.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE AND NOT A DROP TO DRINK

YOU NEED WATER TO LIVE; YOU NEED ISAWATER TO LIVE BETTER

Now you can instantly stabilize your water wherever you go with our alkalizing solution.

What should I know about IsaWATER Alkalized Concentrate?

With its stabilized ions and negatively charged Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), IsaWATER Alkalized Concentrate is designed to support your body’s hydration needs while helping it remove impurities and neutralize harmful free radicals. Furthermore, IsaWATER Alkalized Concentrate can raise your water’s pH to a healthy alkaline value.

How can I benefit from using IsaWATER Alkalized Concentrate?

Free radicals damage the body at a cellular level, but antioxidants play a role in neutralizing those harmful entities. Regular water, if acidic, has a lower pH and therefore a positively charged oxidation reduction potential (ORP). However, by adding IsaWATER Alkalized Concentrate to your drinking water, you raise the alkalinity and convert those positively charged ions (+), which are bad for you to negatively charged ions (-), which are good for you. Now you’re drinking a liquid antioxidant! And because water plays a crucial role in the body’s natural cleansing process, IsaWATER Alkalized Concentrate will maximize your cleansing process by helping your body absorb key nutrients, while aiding in the removal of toxins.

Alarming Facts about the Food We Eat

It’s getting harder and harder to stay healthy in our increasingly toxic world. We’re exposed to more chemicals, pesticides and pollutants than ever before in history; they seep into the water we drink, pollute the food we eat and permeate the air we breathe.Recently, the nonprofit Environmental Working Group released a disturbing study after analyzing the blood of newborn babies across the United States. In addition to discovering 287 chemicals and other toxins in their blood, they also found 76 chemicals that damage cells in humans and animals; 94 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system; and 79 that are toxic to a developing fetus.


What’s causing this?
Alarmingly, over-farming is wiping out the nutrients in your vegetables and fruits. Fertilizers intended to sterilize the soil have robbed it of mineral content. Since the soil is depleted, so are the foods grown in the soil, and so are we.

Take a look at this important study by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showing the loss of vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables since 1975.
• Apples: Vitamin A is down 41%
• Sweet peppers: Vitamin C is down 31%
• Watercress: Iron is down 88%
• Broccoli: Calcium and vitamin A are down 50%
• Cauliflower: Vitamin C is down 45%; vitamin B1 is down 48%; and vitamin B2 is down 47%
• Collards greens: Magnesium is down 85%
So, how do you get the nutrients your body needs to safeguard your health?
Health professionals have signified certain supergreens and superfruits that infuse the body with phytonutrients to protect your health. Phytonutrients enhance your body’s natural detoxification pathways, enabling health and longevity. You might have heard of spirulina, chlorella and wheat grass, for example, which are supergreens. Mangosteen, Star Fruit and Acai Berry are powerhouses of nutrition, too—which is why they’re called superfruits. These superfoods can be your essential line of defense against environmental toxicity.

As the World Leader in Nutritional Cleansing, Cellular Replenishing, and Youthful Aging™, Isagenix® offers two revolutionary superfood products to boost your body’s ability to clear toxins and replenish with optimal nutrition. Isagenix Greens!™ and IsaFruits® contain the healthiest supergreens and superfruits on the planet.

You could be missing the four essential nutrients to unlock that vibrant energy.
Many times, that tired feeling we get as we trudge through the day is our body’s way of saying “I need more nourishment!” Even though you may be fitting in all of your calories, that doesn’t mean your body is getting the essential nutrients it needs to function at its utmost.
Here are four essential vitamins you need every day to kick that sluggish feeling to the curb:
1. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. According to a recent study by the British Journal of Nutrition, you should be consuming at least 250 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA daily to protect your heart and keep it functioning optimally. To get 250 mg of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids every day, you’d have to eat a serving of tuna or cod that’s the size of a deck of cards!
Easily and conveniently get your intake with IsaOmega Supreme®. You’ll be flooding your body with 2,000 mg of healthy fish oil daily (1,200 mg long-chain, 600 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA), a great way to boost your heart health. Another plus? Did you know that fish oil can help you lose weight and might even help you keep it off?


2. Vitamin D. Our bodies create Vitamin D thanks to the sun, but most of us neglect getting enough of the “sunshine vitamin” because we’re stuck indoors too much, are carrying extra weight or simply live in a place where certain times of the year yield less of the direct rays than in others. To solve the issue, adding a daily supplement with at least 2,000 IU of Vitamin D. By taking your daily dose of Vitamin D, you’ll be helping to protect your body from the effects of aging and helping to ward off brittle, weak bones, too.
Ageless Actives™ offers 1,000 IU of Vitamin D along with a synergistic blend of other nutrients such as CoQ10 and Resveratrol to support heart health as well. Essentials for Women™ and Essentials for Men™ multivitamins offer another 1,000 IU of Vitamin D. Together, they provide the daily dose of 2,000 IU for your body. Here’s a little more about why you need Vitamin D.

3. Vitamin C. We all know that the key to a healthy immune system is plenty of Vitamin C, but how often do you grab that orange and how much do you really need? Researchers stated in a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that people need to maintain an ongoing and constant vitamin C intake to sustain tissue concentration. That means your Vitamin C intake goes even beyond keeping the sniffles at bay!
Thanks to C-Lyte®, you get 520 mg of Vitamin C, the equivalent of drinking more than five cups of orange juice! With three different types of Vitamin C included such as mineral ascorbates (to buffer acidity), your stomach will thank you for providing such a gentle formula. Learn more about the importance of Vitamin C .


4. Calcium. A study published in the Journal of American Dietetic Association reported that U.S. adults aren’t getting the adequate amount of calcium needed to maintain strong bone health. Whether we’re trying to cut down on our fat intake, we’re lactose intolerant, or we just aren’t big milk drinkers, most of us aren’t getting the amount of calcium we need on a daily basis to keep our bones strong. To make sure you’re getting what you need (1,000 to 1,300 mg daily), supplementation is necessary.

The Essentials for Women multivitamin offers 900 mg daily while the Essentials for Men multivitamin provides 800 mg daily, a great supplement to your regular IsaLean® Shake, leafy greens, fortified cereal and low-fat milk.

The Isagenix Ageless Essentials™ Daily Pack for Men and Ageless Essentials Daily Pack for Women features two small daily packets that contain just the right amount of these vitamins and minerals along with blends of antioxidants, botanicals and other key nutrients.

Your Nutritional Cleansing Questions Answered

You may have heard the phrase before, but maybe you never really stopped to understand its meaning or get down to how it works.

Nutritional Cleansing:  What is it? How can it help you? Is it for real?


What exactly is Nutritional Cleansing?


In essence, Nutritional Cleansing involves nourishing the body with nutrients that assist in clearing out unwanted substances from your body.

Nutritional Cleansing is not the same as colon cleansing, which is based on using fiber or laxatives to shed gunk and foreign substances from your colon. Instead, Nutritional Cleansing involves using nutrition to help your body perform at its best by ridding it of harmful substances, naturally.

The Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing systems use natural ingredients to assist your liver and cells in ridding the body of harmful chemicals to help you feel healthier and more energized. Cleanse for Life® includes key ingredients to help your body naturally cleanse itself of harmful impurities on a cellular level while nourishing it with more than 27 vital nutrients, antioxidants, natural botanical extracts, teas, vitamins and minerals. As a side benefit, performing deep cleansing can even help you lose weight.

Isn’t it just a fancy juice?



Well, it does taste great like a juice, but it’s much more than that. Unlike some one-hit wonder juices that use a single berry as their main ingredient (goji, açai, noni, pomegranate fruits, etc.), Cleanse for Life uses a combination of ingredients and nutrients to support the body’s natural cleansing process. When you read the ingredients, you will see that it contains a powerful combination of antioxidants, herbs, vitamins and minerals that work to help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle each new day. We’ve spent years perfecting the formula in Cleanse for Life to help give you optimum performance and deliver benefits far beyond what one- and two- ingredient formulas can offer.

Why does your body need cleansing?


Every day our bodies ingest all different kinds of chemicals, toxins and impurities. Not only that, but our bodies are also constantly giving off what are known as free radicals, or negatively charged molecules that attack your body’s cells. These free radicals can happen as a result of environmental challenges such as pollution or even your normal metabolism and exercise. Nutritional Cleansing helps rid your body of these toxins, while at the same time flooding your system with antioxidants — free radicals’ worst nightmare.

What other benefits can I get from Nutritional Cleansing?



Do you feel sluggish during the day? Feel like you can’t get through the afternoon? Do you often experience the 3 p.m. slump? These are all areas where Nutritional Cleansing can make a difference.


Besides helping you lose weight and rid your body of toxins, Cleanse for Life can help you experience increased energy, feel more alert and focused during the day and also help improve your mental and physical performance.


Anti-Aging benefits. Age isn’t your only enemy. Environmental impurities and nutritional deficiency can lead to premature aging both internally and externally. By feeing the body free radical-fighting antioxidants, Nutritional Cleansing helps to offset the effects of toxins, which can accelerate aging.

Is Nutritional Cleansing safe?


It’s important to always examine anything you put into your body. That’s why we’ve only added all-natural, safe ingredients to our Nutritional Cleansing systems. Cleanse for Life contains no artificial additives, flavors or other ingredients that can mess with your metabolism.
What’s the difference between daily cleansing and deep cleansing?



Daily cleansing naturally helps protect your body from impurities you are exposed to every day — pollutants, chemicals, free radicals and so on. This helps keep you performing at your best.
Over time, some impurities may not get detoxified and cleared out through your body’s natural processes. These impurities bury themselves in your cells and tissues, normally staying there and slowing down your metabolism over time. Deep cleansing gives your digestion a rest while also allowing the liver to detoxify thanks to cleansing nutrients. These nutrients get down deep into your system, ridding contaminants that have collected within your body over time, thus helping your eliminatory systems function effectively. Deep cleansing also creates the accompanying benefit of stimulating weight loss.

How often should I use Nutritional Cleansing?


For everyday cleansing, drink Cleanse for Life two times daily. For deep cleansing, use four times daily as part of the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System.

I’ve heard of Nutritional Cleansing, but what makes Cleanse for Life different?



Other cleansing products or systems claim only to cleanse part of the body, like the colon, kidneys or liver. Cleanse for Life works for your whole body.  Also, Cleanse for Life works with your body on a cellular level, rather than just flushing out your digestive system like some diuretic products or programs out there. And, unlike other products on the market that may deplete the body of vital nutrients, Cleanse for Life actually nourishes the body as it cleanses.


Plus, our new, state-of-the-art manufacturing and extraction techniques just made Cleanse for Life Natural Rich Berry powder even more powerful! The potency of each rare, no-compromise ingredient has increased by up to 2- to 3-times its original potency level because of the improved manufacturing and extraction process that pulls all of the phytochemical properties from the botanicals at the cellular level.


Founder and Master Formulator John Anderson also added two new ingredients to the Cleanse for Life Natural Rich Berry powdered formula, Turmeric and Burdock Root, to enhance your cleansing results naturally.
