Isotonix® Champion Blend Plus

Champion Blend Plus

This customized formulation is designed to deliver a variety of health benefits fit for a champion, utilizing the most advanced delivery system – Isotonix®

Muscle Health Antioxidant Energy and Cardiovascular Support Mood Support Bone Health Immune Support

Instantized Branched Chain Amino Acids (IBCAAs)

Essential - cannot be synthesized by the body and must be consumed through diet or supplementation

BCAAs are used primarily by skeletal muscle, making up 30-35 percent of the muscle tissue itself

IsoLeucine Leucine Valine 2:1:1 ratio

Functions of IBCAAs

Important for muscle growth and retention

Aid in the regulation of many cellular processes

Supports muscle protein synthesis

Inhibits protein catabolism (breakdown in muscle)

Lessens muscle fatigue

IBCAAs

As aging occurs, the body’s ability to build and retain muscle tissue or size is reduced Results in weakness and frailty Research has shown that supplementation with

BCAA promotes muscle retention in older adults

Improves mental concentration

Mental fatigue Mechanism is unknown - hypothesized that by

increasing blood levels of BCAA, the transport of tryptophan (known to support mood) into the brain is balanced

IBCAAs

Branched Chain Amino Acids - unique in that they’re instantized

More easily dissolved, faster absorption

Instantized + Isotonix = Unmatched By using instantized BCAAs within the isotonic

system, there is a quicker dissolution and increased bioavailability

Pycnogenol®

Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree

An all-natural combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids

Most clinically researched pine bark extract available!

Pycnogenol®

Basic Properties Powerful antioxidant

Most potent natural scavenger of free radicals - combats free radicals before they cause oxidative stress

Exercise increases free radicals

Anti-inflammatory action Helps maintain the body’s natural defenses for inflammation

associated with the normal aging process

NF-kappa B and AP-1, both of which are pro-inflammatory mediators and play active roles in the inflammation process

Activated B Vitamins

B vitamins are necessary components for numerous metabolic processes in the body

This formula contains the activated forms of select B vitamins to ensure optimal use by the body

Folinic Acid (folic acid) Methylcobalamin (B12) Pyridoxal 5’ Phosphate (B6)

Folinic Acid

Folic Acid - Essential for numerous processes in the body and supports the normal development of the nervous system

Folinic acid (tetrahydrofolic acid)is the metabolically active form of folic acid, high bioavailability

B12 - Methylcobalamin

B12 - Water-soluble vitamin Supports normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication Aids in production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe

(S-adenosyl-L-methionine)

Methylcobalamin is methylated form of B12

Evidence indicates methylcobalamin is utilized more efficiently than cobalamin

Methylcobalamin doesn't have to engage the body's resources to convert it into coenzyme form

The most highly reduced form of vitamin B12 possible

B6 - Pyridoxal 5’ Phosphate

Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6

Master vitamin for numerous metabolic pathways in the body

To be used by the body, B6 must be converted to P5P in the liver

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 – Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin Found in some foods and endogenously produced

when sunlight strikes the skin and activates vitamin D synthesis

Reports have documented that many Americans have vitamin D deficiencies This 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

Deficiency has been linked to numerous health concerns and insufficient levels of this vitamin are associated with weak bones and muscle weakness.

Benefits of Vitamin D3

Promotes the efficient intestinal absorption of calcium

By supporting the synthesis of calcium-binding proteins

Calcium is critical in the maintenance of healthy bones

Promotes the normal formation of bone and normal bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts

Benefits of Vitamin D3

Supports the body’s normal modulation of the nervous system and muscular and immune function

Supports healthy immune-modulation Promotes the body’s normal regulation of T-cell function (protects

the body from infection)

Cellular health Supports the modulation of many genes that are responsible for

encoding proteins that regulate normal cell cycle activity Vitamin D levels have been strongly correlated to healthy cells. Lastly, through its interaction with VDR (vitamin D receptor),

vitamin D supports the healthy expression of the gene which helps to maintain healthy blood pressure

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Involved in a variety of metabolic processes

Including antioxidant reactions, cellular respiration, carbohydrate metabolism, synthesis of lipids and proteins, catabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, conversion of folic acid to folinic acid and iron metabolism

Nutrient primarily known for its antioxidant benefits

Vitamin C protects against LDL peroxidation by scavenging free radicals

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Strong role in immune health T-lymphocyte activity, phagocyte function, leukocyte mobility, and

possibly antibody and interferon production seem to be positively affected by vitamin C

Helps support cardiovascular health Assists in promoting normal levels of cholesterol and normal blood

pressure Promotes normal platelet activity and healthy triglyceride levels Promotes nitric oxide which helps with blood flow and blood vessel

health

Cofactor for dopamine production Helps maintain brain health

Vitamin C

Lack of vitamin C can cause general fatigue

Decline in psychomotor performance and motivation

Promotes normal intestinal absorption of iron

Iron is essential part of hemoglobin (carries oxygen in blood) and myoglobin (carries oxygen to muscle tissue)

Vitamin C plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy connective tissues

Including collagen, elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycans and bone matrix
