Q: What does this product do?
A: This formula helps to maintain proper muscle function and normal electrolyte balance. It helps in energy metabolism in the body. These are the Health Canada approved uses (NPN 80112845). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Q: How do I use this product?
A: Adults: 1 scoop (approx. 5g) daily. Mix 1 scoop well in 250ml of water or your favourite drink. Each container provides 30 servings at 1 scoop per day.
Q: What is magnesium citrate and why is it used in this formula?
A: Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid. It is water-soluble and has good bioavailability compared to less soluble forms like magnesium oxide. The citrate form dissolves easily in water, making it ideal for a powder drink mix. Each scoop provides 299mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium citrate.
Q: What are electrolytes and which ones are in this formula?
A: Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electrical charge in your body fluids. They help regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. This formula contains three electrolytes: magnesium 299mg (as magnesium citrate, medicinal), potassium 99.94mg (as potassium citrate, medicinal), and sodium 123.75mg (from sodium ascorbate, non-medicinal). Magnesium is the primary intracellular electrolyte involved in muscle function. Potassium is the main mineral found inside your cells and works with sodium to maintain fluid balance. Sodium is the primary electrolyte outside your cells.
Q: Why is Vitamin B6 provided as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P5P) instead of regular B6?
A: Most B6 supplements use pyridoxine HCl, which must be converted by the liver to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P5P) before the body can use it. P5P is already in the active coenzyme form, so no conversion is needed. Each scoop provides 50mg of B6 as P5P, which helps in energy metabolism in the body (NPN 80112845).
Q: Why is Vitamin B12 provided as hydroxocobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin?
A: Cyanocobalamin is the synthetic form of B12 used in most supplements. Hydroxocobalamin is a natural form of B12 found in food. Your body converts hydroxocobalamin to both active coenzyme forms of B12 (methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin). Hydroxocobalamin also has a longer half-life in the body than cyanocobalamin. Each scoop provides 500mcg of B12 as hydroxocobalamin, which helps in energy metabolism in the body (NPN 80112845).
Q: Why is Vitamin C provided as sodium ascorbate instead of regular ascorbic acid?
A: Regular ascorbic acid is acidic and can irritate the stomach or teeth at high doses. Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of Vitamin C with a near-neutral pH, making it gentler on the stomach. Each scoop provides 1,000mg of Vitamin C as sodium ascorbate. The sodium component of sodium ascorbate also contributes 123.75mg of sodium per serving as a non-medicinal electrolyte.
Q: Is this product sugar-free?
A: Yes. This formula contains no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. It is sweetened with stevia extract, a natural zero-calorie sweetener from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. The sweet compounds in stevia are steviol glycosides, which do not raise blood sugar.
Q: What gives this powder its lemon-lime taste?
A: The flavor comes from natural lemon-lime and lemon flavoring. The tartness comes from citric acid, the same acid that gives citrus fruits their sour taste. The sweetness comes from stevia extract. Together they create a lemon-lime drink with no sugar and no artificial flavors.
Q: What is tapioca powder and why is it in this formula?
A: Tapioca powder is a starch derived from cassava root. It is used as a carrier and bulking agent in the powder formula to help the ingredients mix evenly and flow smoothly. It is gluten-free and suitable for most dietary preferences.
Q: Are there any cautions or warnings I should know about?
A: Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medications, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Verify the complete cautions against your Health Canada NPN 80112845 licence before publishing, as the cautions metafield for this product is not currently populated
