Question asked by Nicole Barr 299 days ago

Anyone used Isotonix products?

vitaminsSupplements

My client was given some Isotonix products from a chemist friend of his. It appears to be mostly a vitamin supplement, but I was wondering if you or your clients have used these products and found them to be helpful with increasing energy and/or assisting metabolic rate?

I've heard of the product. One purchases it through an individual who is a independent distributor for Market America.

Now personally, I don't have an issue with direct selling, multi-level marketing, however, one wants to describe it. My rationale for this is that Avon and Tupperware are successful companies that use entrepreneurial women who desire to work for themselves to distribute their products.

I am often approached my many of clients, friends, business, acquaintances, etc about becoming a distributor for a supplement, nutraceutical or some other product they feel that fitness professionals might purchase.

I tend to decline. Reason? I have a business and I could use my energies better promoting my business as opposed to promoting someone else's business.

Lastly, I learned over the years that the best way to increase one's energy and metabolic rate is by engaging in regular physical activity and eating well.

My current knowledge is insufficient to support the claims many make regarding nutritional supplements.

Lastly, Nicole nutritional supplements are not regulated by the FDA.

I was introduced to Isotonix products at the last fitness studio I trained for. The owner is a distributor, and while I agree with Joanne on many of her points concerning direct marketing, I personally like the product line.

While the ingredients in most of the Isotonix products can be found in many other supplements, they are more readily available for the body to use because of the form they come in. We had many clients taking various supplements in this line with great results. Clients can also have a "custom blend" made with the specific vitamins, etc. they want to include in their regimen. This makes it easier than taking multiple products at once. I personally have always had issues with nausea when taking vitamins, but I find that the Isotonix products are very easy on my stomach.

With that said, I would not personally sell these products to my clients, but that is no different than with any other. I am with Joanne in believing that my energies are better spent concentrating on training my clients. However, if I had a client looking for a good product line for supplements, Isotonix is one that I would recommend.

Personally I don't believe in any quick fix anything, regardless of the formula or how the product is presented.
Our bodies are made to burn calories and injest calories, our bodies are meant to move, not to take short cuts.
We have become a lazy society and products like Isotonix are "feeding" off of it.
