Does intra® contain vitamins and minerals?
Intra® contains only trace amounts of vitamins and minerals. If you have been taking a vitamin or nutritional supplement, you should continue to do so while taking intra®.

I have heard of natural products causing positive results in sports drugs tests. Is intra® suitable for athletes?
Intra® contains no banned substances. Ephedra is a common herb used to produce energy. It is a banned substance but is still used by some manufacturers. Ephedra would cause failure of a drug test, but intra® does not create a positive result in such tests. Athletes should be encouraged to take intra® for the added nutrient value and that is why it is officially taken by many top Olympic athletes.

Is it OK to take intra® everyday for a long period of time?
Yes, intra® was developed for this exact purpose using purified herbal extracts in relatively low dosage, balanced formulation. Many herbal experts recommend that high dosages of single herbs taken for only short periods of time. However, this does not apply with intra®. Each individual will require balancing in a different way and so the effects can be expected to be different from person to person.

Is intra® safe for anyone to use?
Intra® is a dietary supplement, not a drug. However, anyone who has a medical condition or who is at all concerned should consult their doctor before using the product.

Intra® has been formulated specifically for daily use by people of all ages. The formula incorporates a moderate level of each herbal extract ensuring that intra® is very safe for daily consumption. The herbal extracts used in intra® are classified as Food Supplements, which are completely non-toxic.

What would explain a new customer experiencing an uncommon reaction such as headache, nausea or diarrhoea after using the products?
All Lifestyles products are either food supplements or meal replacements. As with any food product, a small percentage of people may have a food allergy or food intolerance to a certain ingredient used in that product. Common intolerance's include lactose intolerance (dairy products) and gluten intolerance (wheat, oats rye). If a person has an intolerance or an allergy to an ingredient, they should not consume that product. Also, many people are not used to eating properly and their bodies may need time to adjust to improved nutrition. These people may quite safely continue to use our products, however, they may find it necessary to reduce their consumption of the products until their bodies have adjusted.

What time of the day should I take intra®?
First thing in the morning is best with an empty stomach. However, for people with gastric problems, take after food.

What are the effects of consistent use of intra® apparently different in each person?
Intra® is a composite of 23 different botanical extracts. It really is a case of the whole thing being more than the sum of its parts. Many of the ingredients react synergistically with each other producing additional benefits that individual ingredients may not. No one ingredient is vital but the combination is. In addition, intra® is designed to balance the body's system.

Where is intra® produced?
Intra® is produced in Canada in accordance with GMP and HACCP standards for purity, safety and sanitation.

Will taking intra® increase my blood pressure?
Intra® will not cause a rise in blood pressure. The licorice root extract in intra is deglycyrrhizineted. This means all the glycyrrhizin has been removed and the only beneficial flavonoids remain.

Glycyrrhizin has the potential to raise blood pressure if high concentrations are consumed for long periods of time. For this reason, we have removed this component of the licorice root used in intra®.

Intra® contains a very moderate, balanced botanical formulation with no single botanical present in high concentrations. This is the key to the safety of the formula.
