[QUOTE="astrocreep96, post: 9664057, member: 22748"] It really doesn't matter how long it takes for the supplement to get into your blood stream. The half life of each vitamin/mineral is such that you have a pretty steady-state level in your tissues for all vitamins, assuming adequate daily intake. The idea that a powdered form is superior because it enters the blood stream more quickly is a cheap marketing gimmick. It also doesn't matter if it is isotonic if you're taking it with food. As soon as it gets into the small intestine, your liver/gallbladder will make the whole solution isotonic anyway. As far as bioavailability, it is true that binders used in pills may disrupt absorption, but that is true of the vitamins/minerals themselves as well - i.e., ions can chelate certain vitamins regardless of the use of binders. Again, that sounds like more of a marketing gimmick on the part of the Isotonix people. The quality is definitely there in natural foods. I take a multivitamin daily on the off chance that I'm not getting a balanced diet, but realistically natural food sources are superior if you can get enough variety. [/QUOTE]
