Alright, well good evening everyone and welcome to our Thursday night product training with Isagenix International. My name is Kiersty Cote - your host - and a pleasure to be here with all of you tonight. Tonight’s call is all about our fantastic children’s formula called IsaKids. And with us tonight to bring you all of the latest and greatest on this amazing product is Dr. Bill Wheeler. What an amazing gentleman he is and I’m very, very excited to have him present as we don’t get to very often Dr. Bill. So it’s always fun.

Now for those of you who are brand new to Isagenix, let me give you a little bit of background on Dr. Bill Wheeler. He has a substantial amount of experience when it comes to the nutritional world. He is our Chief Science Officer within Isagenix. He also oversees the Scientific Advisory Board as well as the Tech Advisory Board within Isagenix. And a little bit of past experiences that he’s had. He’s actually been the staff nutritionist to 2 different presidents of the United States: President Carter and President Reagan. He is also an advisor to Olympic and professional athletes and sports teams. He’s worked with some of the absolute greatest sport teams out there, professional sports teams and professional athletes. It’s been a lot of fun for him. He has helped to develop in his past you know experience in his career, helped to develop over 6200 different nutritional products: a lot of fun. And he’s also a senior author of more than 260 scientific articles on nutrition. So we’re again very excited to have him a part of our team at corporate. He’s been very instrumental on overseeing of the aspects of our nutritional product line so we’re very grateful for you Dr. Bill. So good evening and welcome to the call.

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well thank you Kiersty and it’s my pleasure to be here this evening. I’m excited to be on the call with you today.

>> Well I’m excited about IsaKids. I don’t know about you but you could put these little guys in a little candy dish and put them on your desk and kind of munch on them all throughout the day. And I don’t know, have you ever done that before?

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well yes, they’re fun to munch on. And the thing about it is, is they — if you’ve got a little bit of a sweet tooth, they help satisfy that kind of craving because even though they don’t contain any sugar, they have a nice, pleasant fruity, fruity taste so they’re good for that. In addition, you pick up all the vitamins and minerals that are in there which is a lot of good stuff.

>> I know, this is a pretty darn good tasting chewable. I love it. Well let’s get into some questions that I have for you. The number one question that we get all the time is “What sets the IsaKids chewable formula apart from any other children’s chewable vitamin on the market?”

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well a number of things Kiersty. And first I would tell you that it meets the recommended daily allowance for over 11 essential vitamins and minerals. Now you would think that all the competitive products would too, but they don’t. Some will meet the recommended daily allowance for 2, 3… I think the most I’ve seen has been 5 essential vitamins and minerals. We have over 11 meeting the daily requirements of children which is really the way it should be. We don’t have any artificial sweeteners, no dyes, no contaminants.

We use a natural flavor system. We use a natural orange. We use a natural orange color. So everything is as natural as you can get in the IsaKids and as you well know the taste is phenomenal. Now I tell a lot of moms who buy their children’s vitamins in the grocery store or in the pharmacy, all these cute kid shapes of these others and they say “Well, my kids won’t eat them.” And I’ll say “Well have you ever tried to eat one of them yourself?” And they’ll try one of these competitive products out there and the leading children’s chewable tastes horrible. It has a very metallic taste plus it has over 2 grams of straight sugar in it versus the IsaKids which is all natural, a pleasant flavor, the kids love them and adults do too and it doesn’t have any of that sugar in there for the kids. What I’ll also say is that IsaKids contains an ingredient called Xylitol. And the importance of Xylitol is it’s been shown through over 20 different clinical studies primarily from Sweden, that Xylitol significantly reduces the number of ear infections and cavities in children. So that’s just one ingredient now. I know when my kids were growing up, ear infections were a big problem. And the Xylitol in the children’s chewable has been shown to reduce ear infections - also reduce cavities - to the point where the government of Sweden actually puts Xylitol in chewing gum for preschoolers. It makes them healthier. So that’s another benefit of it.

>> Wow.

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: So it’s a great product, meets the requirements for over 11 essential vitamins and minerals, no artificial colors, no artificial sweeteners, all natural, great taste, fabulous taste. Some people who taste them and kids who taste them don’t think that they’re vitamins. They think they’re just a sweet healthy candy, but they’re not a candy. They’re a great multivitamin for kids.

>> Yeah, I love the fact with the sweeteners being the Xylitol, I think that’s fantastic. And you had also mentioned that there’s no artificial colors, artificial flavorings. Boy there’s some scary stuff going on in some of those products out there. And also like you said, I mean they just don’t have in them what we’re looking for today in a fantastic chewable for children. Now let’s talk about the ages and the dosing for children of all ages. What can people — you know what kind of counsel can you give people on the IsaKids when it comes to that?

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well the suggestion is for children under 4 years of age, 2 chewable tablets a day: for children 4 and up, 4 tablets a day. And when I say 4 and up, we have some adults who say “You know, I want something that’s easy to chew to get my multivitamin. Can I take IsaKids for my own multivitamin?” And a lot of people try that, particularly a lot of older individuals who have a hard time swallowing capsules and tablets love to chew the IsaKids and 4 tablets a day for an adult is good too. So again, let me review that. Children 4 and under, 2 tablets — chewable tablets: 4 and older 4 tablets. Now you can take all 4 tablets at one time, 2 tablets in the morning, 2 tablets in the afternoon. Again, whatever works with your system is a great way to take these chewable vitamins. Plus it has a proprietary blend Kiersty that contains our - in addition to the cranberry extract, orange juice, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, rosehips, spinach and tomato - also contains the ionic alfalfa which is next generation as John Anderson talked about at Celebration. The next generation of isolyte - and I heard him recently call it super charged isolyte - and the ionic alfalfa is in IsaKids Essentials.

>> Boy do I love that. I think that’s fantastic. Now how much is too much because I know like we’ve talked about they’re fantastic in taste. And you know I mean there’s people that are saying “Well gees, what if I eat 6 or 8?” I mean what’s your opinion on that?

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well the question becomes, at what point would you have a toxicity? And really if we look at it because this is a balanced formula. You would have to be in the range of somewhere 12 to 16 a day. If you were taking 4 to 6 a day, there wouldn’t be any issue but really when you start getting over about 10, that gets a little out of the range there. But there’s a wide safety factor in this product because as you get more of one vitamin, you get more of another so they balance out as well as the minerals but again, I would limit it on the upper side to a maximum of 10. But if for an adult for example, if an adult particularly an adult say over 200 pounds, might want to take 6 a day. But again, there’s a wide safety. It’s a very, very safe product. It’s a very efficacious product. And again with that proprietary blend with those cranberry, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, rosehips, spinach and tomato, it’s just good stuff for kids: really for all of us in there.

>> Yeah, how many kids do not like to eat cabbage and spinach? [Laughter]

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: That’s right, isn’t it?

>> So the fact that it’s in there I just love that. Well this is just an amazing product. I think it’s a fantastic addition to our Isagenix line of products. And anything else that you can think of on our IsaKids that our listeners need to know?

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well this is a little secret. This is a little secret. Basketball players love to take IsaKids because I found basketball players - as big as they are and as hard as they play - they don’t like to swallow tablets. So if you give them a multivitamin they chew, basketball players love to chew IsaKids. So there’s another use if any of you listening have any basketball players in your family, maybe some teenage kids, high school kids, you know — and you’re having a hard time getting them — you get an IsaLean Shake with them they love that. But you say well I want to get them a multivitamin too and I think the Essentials for Men or Essentials for Women, they don’t like taking that. Well give them the IsaKids because that is a great for teenagers as well. So it’s a great product. I can’t overemphasize how much better it is than the leading children’s multi. It is night and day different. Some of my colleagues will ask me you know “How can you come out with a product that much better than the leading children’s multi on the market today at such a reasonable cost?” And it’s just the way we are. We put out better products, higher quality products, efficacious products and again this is the only children’s chewable that you’re able to get the ionic alfalfa in which is extremely important to support good health.

>> Absolutely. Wow. Well what an amazing product and I think that all of the information that you’ve been able to pass onto all of our listeners really drives it home on getting this product to order for their kids and really recommending it to all new associates who step into Isagenix that have families, growing children and even you know adults as we have mentioned tonight too. So thank you so much for being with us Dr. Bill and we look forward to you being on again. I’m going to come up with you know quite the call list for you if you don’t mind and have you on more often. It’s always a pleasure.

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Well it’s a pleasure to be on and I really appreciate the invitation Kiersty.

>> Hey, you bet and have fun on that cruise.

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Thank you.

>> Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.

>> Dr. William E. Wheeler: Bye.

>> And I just want to thank everybody for being on the line tonight and listening in and to let you know that this call has been recorded and it will be posted in your back office so that you can reference to it at any time.
