Nutrient in the Spotlight: B-vitamin Complex
Vitamins are a type of micronutrient – essential nutrients your body needs in very small amounts, but that are still important in a healthy, balanced diet.

Let’s have a look at some of the key functions of B vitamins, and where you can find them in Isagenix [...]

Sugars in Isagenix Products
When you look at the ingredient labels of Isagenix products, you’ll probably notice that some of them include sugar. This might occur in different forms such as dextrose, sucrose, fructose, honey, molasses and agave syrup. Is sugar bad for me? Sugars are a type of carbohydrate that are found naturally in many foods that contribute to a healthy diet including fruit, vegetables and dairy products (1). All carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars, such as glucose, before being absorbed by the body. The body’s tissues require a constant supply of glucose which is used to fuel metabolic functions within the body (1). Consuming a small amount of sugars as part of a balanced diet is not bad for your [...]
