How Can e-Shot Boost Your Performance?
One of our best-loved products at Isagenix is our e-ShotTM, packed full of plant-based caffeine from green tea and yerba mate. Caffeine is frequently used by elite athletes, and between 2004 and 2008 almost three-quarters (74%) of official test samples contained measurable levels of caffeine (1). There’s research to support the use of caffeine to enhance performance in many different sport types, including endurance, muscular endurance, and repeated high intensity exercise (2, 3). Scientific studies have shown how caffeine can have a powerful effect on performance times. In time-trial studies on cyclists, researchers have shown improved completion times of as much as 3-5% following caffeine consumption (4, 5). In a sport where a small improvement in performances can be the [...]

Staying Healthy Over the Holidays
The holidays are a time for celebration, family, and fun but can also be a time for overindulgences that often lead to weight gain. In fact, many of us find it challenging to maintain our healthy habits over the festive season, and research shows average weight gain to be around 1-2lbs at this time of year. Whilst this may sound insignificant, this is a major contributor to annual excess weight gain and can be extremely discouraging for someone who has been working hard to keep the pounds off. It can also make getting back on track more difficult — anyone who’s ever tried to lose weight in the New Year will know how challenging it can be to shed those [...]
The Use of Natural Flavours and Colours
Have you ever wondered what it takes to create the delicious flavours within our IsaLeanTM Shakes and other products? The chemistry of all these flavours is a complex, rewarding combination of taste and smell that’s also influenced by colour and texture. Sometimes the organoleptic properties of a food product, such as the flavour and colour, need to be improved. Contrary to what some people may think, when manufacturers use the term ‘natural flavours’ on ingredients lists this is not a way to hide harmful or unappealing flavouring agents. So, what are these flavourings and why aren’t the individual flavours identified on labels? What are natural flavours? Flavourings are used to improve or modify the smell and taste of foods (1).

What’s the best way to rehydrate post workout?
It’s well known that we need to rehydrate after exercise to replace the water that is lost when you sweat. But did you know that when you sweat you lose more than just water? Electrolytes such as sodium and potassium are also lost in your sweat. These minerals need to be replaced when you rehydrate during and after exercise to restore the balance of water and electrolytes in your body (1). Why electrolytes are important So, what are electrolytes? Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that travel through the blood and other extracellular fluids (2). Sodium is the most highly concentrated electrolyte lost in sweat, and is needed by the body to help balance the level of fluids (1, 3). As [...]
