  1. INTRA Questions and Answers

    QUESTION: What is the main purpose of Intra?
    To help our bodies stay in balance and keep healthy.

    QUESTION:
    When should I take Intra?
    You have to discover for yourself what works best for you. Most people take Intra first thing in the morning while others prefer it before bedtime. Experiment and listen to your body.

    QUESTION:
    How much Intra should I take on a daily basis?
    The daily recommended intake for adults is one ounce. Because it is a food product you cannot overdose by taking too much Intra, however, you could be wasting the product if you take more than six ounces a day. Many people prefer two ounces a day.

    QUESTION:
    Is it OK to take Intra every day 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 be taken for only short periods of time. However, this does not apply with Intra.

    QUESTION:
    What should people expect when they first try Intra?
    When you first try Intra you may experience some side effects. This simply means that you may experience a headache, small rash, a few pimples etc. and usually only last a few days. If you already lead a very healthy lifestyle you probably will not experience any effects. Most people report a general feeling of well-being after a few days. It is important to mention this to new customers in case they believe they are allergic to Intra.

    QUESTION:
    Is Intra safe for anyone to use?
    Intra is a food 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.

    QUESTION:
    How many calories are there in 1 oz. of Intra?
    Intra contains 12 calories per ounce, all coming from carbohydrates. Intra contains no fat or protein.

    QUESTION: How much sugar does Intra liquid contain?
    Intra liquid contains 3 grams of sugar per one ounce serving. This is the exact same amount of sugar that one ounce of orange juice contains. Anyone with diabetes should take note of this.

    QUESTION:
    Are there professional athletes using Intra?
    Yes, there are many professional athletes using Intra as a supplement to their training programs, however, Intra was formulated to be beneficial to everyone.

    QUESTION:
    Why does Intra taste slightly different from bottle to bottle?
    Intra is a natural product and contains botanicals whose source includes roots, leaves barks and berries. As these botanicals are grown in their natural environment, they are exposed to nature's every changing elements and conditions. When these ingredients are combined with other extracts to form a botanical blend, slight variations in taste may occur. The difference in taste does not affect the overall quality of the product.

    QUESTION:
    Are the herbs in Intra grown organically?
    All botanicals used in Intra are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. However, these botanicals are grown in many different countries around the world, all with different regulations pertaining to organic foods. As a result, LifeStyles is technically unable to claim that Intra is an organic product.

    QUESTION: What are standardized herbal extracts?
    Herbal standardization is the ability to extract the active components (the parts of each herbs known to be beneficial to health) of an herb at a consistent level each time. Once the extraction is complete, sophisticated measuring devices are used to ensure that the active components have been fully extracted. Standardization ensures that each bottle of intra contains the exact same level of active ingredients.

    QUESTION:How do the Intra Capsules differfrom the Intra liquid?
    There is no difference in the formula between the liquid and the capsules. Two intra capsules provide the same level of standardized botanicals as 1 ounce of intra liquid.

    QUESTION: When is the best time to take Intra Capsules?
    Unlike Nutria which should be taken with a meal, intra capsules and intra liquid can be taken any time it is convenient for you. The capsules offer even greater convenience as they can be carried in your briefcase or gym bag and taken anytime during the day or night. Intra capsules should be taken with at least a couple of ounces of water (or juice) in order for the juice crystals to perform properly.

    QUESTION: How much sugar is in the Intra Capsules?
    Intra capsules do not contain added sugar. The sugar content that occurs naturally from the juice crystals is less than 1/2 of a gram per two capsules.

    QUESTION: I thought the juice in Intra liquid was important?
    The juice in the intra liquid is very important as a natural sweetener as well as an excellent aid to the absorption of the herbs. That is why we included freeze-dried orange juice crystals in the intra capsules. When the intra capsules are taken with water the juice crystals mix with the water in the stomach to form orange juice which then assists the absorption of the herbs in the body.

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

    QUESTION:
    Why do some bottles of Intra have larger black flecks in the product while in others the specks are very small?
    The larger black flecks found in most bottles of Intra can be attributed to the licorice root extract. In most cases, the licorice root extract does not totally dissolve in the juice and remains visible. However, at other times, depending on the harvest and other factors, the licorice root dissolves further and is less visible.

    QUESTION:
    Why does Intra contain grape juice and/or pear juice?
    In order to retain the Kosher certification for Intra, only certain types of grape juice may be used. As a result there is a high demand for the Kosher type of grape juice and it is occasionally in short supply. In order to ensure constant production levels of Intra, Lifestyles manufacturing plant may use Kosher pear juice in the product to make up for the shortage of grape juice.

    QUESTION:
    Is the "Intra refund guarantee" for 90 days (3 bottles)?
    No. The "Intra refund guarantee" is for 30 days (one bottle) per customer. This is clearly stated in the LifeStyles Independent Distributor Guide to Success.

    QUESTION:
    How does the money back guarantee work?
    If a customer is not satisfied, all you have to do is have them return the empty bottle and fill out an Intra refund form. You then refund their money, cut out the batch number on the Intra bottle and return it with the refund form to LifeStyles. LifeStyles will then send you a replacement bottle.

    QUESTION:
    How should we store Intra?
    Store in a cool dry place.

    QUESTION:
    What is the shelf life of Intra?
    There is no official expiry date on Intra because it will stay good for a very long time. If a bottle is over one year old, just check to make sure the juice base is still good.

    QUESTION:
    Does the hot-fill bottling system affect the herbs in Intra?
    No. Most of the botanicals used in Intra are extracted using heat. As a result these extracts are not affected by the temperatures used in the hot-fill system, a system which was designed in consultation with industry experts.

    QUESTION:
    If I have a family or friends out of town, what is the best way to send them a bottle?
    You can purchase empty boxes from LifeStyles which will hold one bottle of Intra. Simply mail or send by courier to your family and friends. Contact the person who helped you find these pages and order the "Intra Trio Pack".
