You can take vitamins and minerals in a number of forms e.g. Pills, powder and liquid. The global market for vitamins, minerals and supplements is huge. In 2011 global sales were $85 Billion.

Leading categories globally in 2011 were multivitamins ($16.12 billion), tonics and bottled nutritive drinks ($7.53 billion), combination supplements ($7.4 billion), calcium ($5.19 billion), vitamin B ($4.5 billion), vitamin C ($4.19 billion), minerals ($3.55 billion), fish oils/omegas ($3.08 billion), probiotics ($2.7 billion), and ginseng ($2.5 billion).

 

The fastest growing category, however, is vitamin D. Sales in 2011 were $897 million, a 24.8% jump over 2010 sales of $719 million—and a 284% skyrocket over the $234 million in 2006. This catapult is likely because scientific studies and recent media reports have touted that vitamin D bolsters bone health by improving calcium absorption.     Other growth category leaders inlcude protein powder, probiotics, ginseng, omega 3s, eye health and combination supplements. Omega 3 sales are powered by consumer knowledge of the oils’ scientific evidence for heart health. Widespread product advertising with digestive health claims and scientific backing bolster probiotics. Busy, stressed consumers embrace combination supplements with two or more ingredients in one product for their convenience and cost-effective, targeted therapeutic effects. Aging populations, especially the huge U.S. Baby Boomer market, drive purchases of eye health supplements. The robust Chinese and Indian markets boost protein powder, a supplement to the food staple of rice; and ginseng, a long-standing traditional supplement.  ( Source and See more at: http://www.nutraceuticalsworld.com/issues/2012-11/view_features/international-markets-report-most-regions-paddle-along-sound-streams-of-growth/#sthash.ORpwrqhS.dpuf )

Growth rates were around 6% per year although as noted above some categories have grown much faster.

You can buy them in loads of places – chemists, supermarkets etc etc and many places online.  Is it better to buy them in a bricks and mortar shop  than online ??? Is it better to buy from a supermarket chain than a network marketing company ?? You can argue this any way you want to.

As the article referred to above says with regard to the Chinese market ” In marketing to this ever-rising middle class, the multilevel marketing (MLM) groups continue to enjoy tremendous success. They are the ultimate social network to promote sales because the Chinese people trust the referrals and recommendations of family and friends regarding health information over doctors, the Internet or government restrictions. Approximately 50% of revenue generated for supplements is through direct sales and conference sales. ”

If you want to buy vitamins, supplements and minerals then, to a large extent, where you buy them is immaterial. You will buy them in one place in preference to another because of convenience, price, availability or some other factor. It makes no difference to you if they come from a shop or a network marketing company or it may make all the difference to you because of the reasons I mention.

Is it better to take them in pill form than powder or liquid. You can argue that one either way aswell. Solid or Liquid ?? ( Obviously powder mixed with water is a liquid ). What is your preference ?? If you want ignore all the facts pointing to the advantages of liquid or powder and and water and just buy what you prefer – solid or liquid ?? Don’t debate it and don’t worry about it. You decided to take minerals, supplements or whatever so take them !!!

 

 

 

 

Market United Kingdom and Shop.com is the primary source of  the Isotonix brand of nutritional supplements in the UK. Isotonix has a state-of-the-art isotonic delivery system to maximize absorption of your supplements. The word “isotonic” means “same pressure,” which in this case is referring to the fact that it has the same osmotic pressure as bodily fluids. This includes tears, plasma in the blood, sweat, saliva and other bodily fluids, which are all isotonic with one another. Everything you ingest must be made into an isotonic solution before it can be absorbed by the small intestine. This is a time-consuming process that involves gastric acid being secreted into the food. Contractions of the stomach muscles combine the contents of the stomach until a uniform isotonic solution is created.  This proves that digestion takes quite a while because this is only the first step!

Isotonix® OPC-3®

What Makes Isotonix OPC-3® Unique?

Isotonix OPC-3® is an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine and pine bark extracts, and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol® in the world. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree and the most clinically researched and potent bioflavonoid.*

Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state.

Isotonix® dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to in obtaining maximum absorption. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.
