KO-0003 – What is Hypoisotonic™?
The Difference Between Isohypotonic™ and Hypoisotonic™
PerformanceDrink developed two proprietary formulations with different ingredient-delivery profiles. Both are designed to support physiological stability during demanding physical activity, but they differ in how quickly their intended effects develop and how long those effects are maintained.
Isohypotonic™ — Progressive Delivery to 90 Minutes
The Isohypotonic™ formulation is designed to deliver its ingredients progressively, supporting physiological stability as exercise continues.
According to PerformanceDrink's reported formulation profile, the measured response develops over approximately 90 minutes, reaching levels higher than the starting baseline during exercise performed at 90% of VO₂ max.
This formulation emphasizes a progressive response during sustained, high-intensity physical activity.
Hypoisotonic™ — Faster Response, Extended Maintenance
The Hypoisotonic™ formulation uses a different ingredient-delivery profile designed to produce a faster response.
According to PerformanceDrink's reported formulation profile, the measured response reaches elevated levels sooner than with Isohypotonic™ and is then maintained for approximately 150 minutes (2½ hours).
This formulation emphasizes faster attainment of the intended response followed by extended maintenance during prolonged activity.
Formulation Comparison
| Characteristic | Isohypotonic™ | Hypoisotonic™ |
|---|---|---|
| Primary difference | Progressive ingredient-delivery profile | Faster-response ingredient-delivery profile |
| Response timing | Develops over approximately 90 minutes | Reaches elevated levels sooner |
| Reported response | Above starting baseline at 90 minutes | Elevated response maintained |
| Duration described | Approximately 90 minutes to the reported measurement | Approximately 150 minutes (2½ hours) |
| Exercise condition specified | 90% of VO₂ max | Not specified in the information provided |
Scientific Interpretation
These profiles describe the formulation differences reported by PerformanceDrink. The specific physiological measurement that rises above baseline—such as blood glucose or another measured variable—must be identified before the results can be presented as a verified scientific comparison.
The original test records are also needed to confirm the response curves, exercise conditions, participant data, and statistical findings.
Summary
Isohypotonic™ is designed for a progressive response that reaches above-baseline levels at approximately 90 minutes during exercise at 90% of VO₂ max. Hypoisotonic™ is designed to reach elevated levels faster and maintain the reported response for approximately 150 minutes.
The distinguishing feature is the formula-specific timing and duration of the measured response.
