Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane.

Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hypotonic

Isotonic: The solutions being compared have equal concentration of solutes.

Hypertonic: The solution with the higher concentration of solutes.

Hypotonic: The solution with the lower concentration of solutes.

Diffusion of water across a membrane - osmosis - generates a pressure called osmotic pressure.

Diffusion of water into red blood cells:

Isotonix solutions have an ideal range of PH

Between 3.5 and 4.0

Isotonix solutions

Isotonix solutions with ph between 3.5 and 4.0 do not stay long in the stomach.

Isotonix solutions

They move instantly into the small intestine with little dilution.

Rapid entry into the intestine facilitates rapid absorption.

Isotonix solutions and absorption

Sodium bicarbonate is secreted in the intestine to adjust the ph to 7.

For some vital nutrients, e.g. Vitamin C, sodium must be present for absorption.

Advantages of isotonix solutions

They are absorbed rapidly, thus there will not be any stomach discomfort.


Faster absorption ensures no dilution and no loss of nutrients.


There is no need for filler,binders, capsules - all those unnatural supplementation

Many people prefer a liquid supplement rather than capsules.
