We've collected and answered the most commonly asked questions here.
We use a combination of whey isolate, whey concentrate and whey peptides (not casein) from grass-fed cows. This gives our NourishID a “cleaner” taste and that helps reduce digestion issues such as water retention, stomach cramping, lethargy and a host of other discontenting conditions associated with cheaper protein Ingredients.
Our whey is produced from original herds of cows that are not given recombinant bovine growth hormone (RBGH) or bovine somatotropin. Our protein also comes only from grass-fed cows.
Yes, stevia was approved for sale in the United States in December 2008.
Chia is rich in nutrients. When it inter-fuses with the protein and liquid, it creates a SuperFood that helps stimulate your metabolism, nourish your body and satisfy your hunger, so you can reach your weight management goals. *Our Chia has gone through a patented micro-milled technology that opens the seed without losing any of the nutritional properties. This micro-milled process makes the nutrition in Chia easier for your body to absorb.
Since Chia is highly hydrophilic (it absorbs water), it expands in the stomach giving you a pleasant feeling of satiety or fullness and if you feel full, you’ll be less likely to overeat.
Soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance. It is great for moderating blood glucose levels and promotes digestion and heart health. Soluble fiber is found in peas, beans, lentils, oatmeal, and the pectin of fruit. Insoluble fiber does not swell or dissolve in water and passes through the digestive system in much the same way it entered the system.
Chia is believed to decrease recovery time and fatigue from cardiovascular workouts by promoting muscle tissue repair.*
Chia seeds can help maintain optimal hydration levels since they absorb water and slow down the absorption of food, thereby modulating hydration levels. They are also complex carbohydrates and very high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and several minerals, so these nutrients are supplied to our bodies slowly to help and maintain endurance levels.
The Shake contains whey protein that comes from milk; however the process removes 99.9% of the milk byproduct, therefore making the shake virtually casein and lactose free, but technically not dairy-free.
The natural flavors are listed on the product labels.
Pregnant or nursing mothers should consult their physician and follow all safety instructions before beginning any exercise program or using any supplement or nutritional product.
In a reversal of an earlier opinion, the FDA has decided that all instantized whey proteins must contain a warning for soy on the label because lecithin is a naturally occurring ingredient in the manufacturing process. Although it is present only during the whey extraction phase of the process in trace amounts, and undetectable in the final formula by testing procedures currently available, since soy is on the list of food allergies, the FDA has determined that all instantized whey products must contain the warning.
The manufacturing facility producing IDLife Vegan Shake ensures cross-contamination does not occur through the quality procedures utilized and testing that is performed on both the room and the machines utilized prior to any material encountering them. Within those procedures, our partners adhere to the cGMP compliance standards mandated for manufacturers of dietary and nutritional supplements. Because the top two protein sources sold in the U.S. are whey and soy, this top-notch facility produces these formulas, as does every other premier facility in the country. However, following the cGMP standards of manufacturing and the IDLife QC site visits and auditing, together, we ensure no cross-contamination with the other products in the facility. In addition, as is standard on all IDLife products, process testing at each step in the manufacturing of Vegan Shake ensures no cross-contamination has occurred. In the end, we have the best tasting Vegan Shake on the market and that consistency is validated every time it is made.
Our Shake goes through a Cold-Filtration process. The Cold-Filtration process is a procedure of separating the proteins through the use of micro-filtering the mass, all while using a cold or “chilled” method. These filters allow the separation of the protein from the unwanted fat and lactose. The process leaves the blend virtually fat and lactose-free. The overall protein is said to only be 0-3% denatured using the Cold-Filtration method, in comparison to other proteins that can be denatured up to 15%. The Shake is very high in bioactive whey protein fractions, including immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, and glycomacropeptides. In other words, the IDLife Shake is a better protein for users who want a higher protein percentage per serving.
Our manufacturer follows all FDA and GMP guidelines for trace levels of tetrahydrocannabinol delta-9 (THC). The level of THC in the hemp protein found in the IDLife Vegan Shake is undetectable or less than the measurable threshold of 0.3% if any detected (300 parts per million or less).
If you struggle with meeting the recommended daily servings for fruits and vegetables or are one of the 30-50 million Americans who suffer from a milk allergy, the Vegan Shake is a great option for you. The 22 grams of protein and two servings of fruits and vegetables, along with the fiber, antioxidants and nutrient-packed Superfoods make the Vegan Shake not only an option for vegans and vegetarians but a healthy option for anyone looking to improve the quality of their diet.
Peas, brown rice, and hemp.
Prebiotics are natural and non-digestible ingredients linked to promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut. They promote “good” bacteria, which help fight issues in the G.I. tract and digestive system, as well as help improve the immune system.
Chia is rich in nutrients, fiber, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Chia helps promote blood health, mental health, bone health, anti-aging, weight loss, and joint health. Therefore, when it interfuses with the protein and liquid, it creates a Superfood that stimulates your metabolism, nourishes your body and satisfies your hunger so you can quickly and easily reach your slimming goals without painful and ineffective diets.
The flaxseed offers a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids and help with a range of health benefits, including cardiovascular and immune system health. Flaxseed is low in carbohydrates and high in dietary fiber, helping with weight maintenance.
Quinoa is a nutrient-packed, gluten-free seed that provides all nine essential amino acids, antioxidants and dietary fiber. Research shows that consuming quinoa on a regular basis can help lower cholesterol, manage glucose levels and help with weight management.* The iron in quinoa helps enhance red blood cell health and helps increase brain function, while the lysine assists with tissue growth and repair. Other nutrients in quinoa can help maintain healthy blood sugar, increase bone and teeth health and improve energy metabolism.*

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and wellbeing throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life and safety. Ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others. Linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke, sleep deficiency also increases the risk of obesity.
If you have trouble waking up in the morning or you do not wake up feeling refreshed, this could mean you haven’t gotten enough quality sleep. Other signs of sleep deprivation include daytime fatigue, mood changes, difficulty focusing, and memory loss.
The Mental Benefits:
- One night of good sleep can improve your ability to learn new motor skills by 20%.
- Eight hours of quality sleep increases your ability to gain new insight into complex problems by 50%.
The Physical Benefits:
- Helps with skin health and a youthful appearance
- Helps increase testosterone levels
- Helps control optimal insulin secretion
- Helps increase athletic performance
- Strengthens your immune system
Melatonin helps you fall asleep quickly, stay asleep, and get deep, restorative sleep with increased REM sleep. 5-HTP releases critical brain neurotransmitters burned out by modern-day stressors, increasing calm feelings of well-being. L-Theanine helps you to sleep for longer periods, awakening less often by feelings of anxiety, stress, and fitfulness.
REM sleep, one of five stages of your sleep cycle, is what many experts call “restful sleep.” "Restful Sleep" is the stage of sleep where we dream. A reduction in REM sleep leads to less restorative and less satisfying sleep. The IDLife Sleep product promotes REM sleep cycles, so, yes, it is perfectly normal to dream while using the Sleep Strips.
Because the ingredients in the IDLife Sleep Strips are naturally derived, you should wake up feeling refreshed and restored without a groggy feeling.
The ingredients contained within the Sleep Strips have not been shown to have addictive properties. If you stop using the Sleep Strips, your sleep patterns should return to the same as those experienced by you prior to using the IDLife Sleep Strips.
It is safe to take more than one at a time, but most people only need one to achieve the desired outcome of restful and restorative sleep.
In addition to helping you fall asleep and giving a feeling of overall wellbeing, melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger that helps combat inflammation. Melatonin is so integral to your immune system that a lack of it causes your Thymus gland, a key component of your immune system, to atrophy. L-Theanine is thought to have both antioxidant and relaxant effects. Some studies have shown that the amino acid may also help lower lipids in the blood, fight obesity, and help with cognitive function.
Yes. Hydrate is a blend of essential minerals and electrolytes that is safe for children 2+.
One full jar of Hydrate is designed to mix with one 5-gallon sports jug so that you can easily hydrate a sports team or a group attending an event.
Hydrate is a clean electrolyte replenisher that provides all the essential nutrients without all the added sugar.
All IDLife products are designed to be consumed together and taken together. However, it is suggested that Hydrate & Slim+ be taken 30 minutes apart for best results.
It depends on the person. A properly hydrated person would most likely need one serving in a day. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, it’s recommended you use Hydrate at least two times per day.
There is no sugar in Hydrate. It is naturally sweetened with Stevia.
The Fruit Punch flavor consists of cherry, berry, and pineapple. The Grape flavor consists of grape.
It is okay to take lower dosages; however, the product will be most effective with the recommended amount.
You can take it multiple times each day.
Consult your physician.
Everyone’s body chemistry is different. If you do experience this, it is recommended to instead take Lean during the day, an hour before a meal or a workout.
It depends on your goals and why you are taking it. The different time suggestions are intended to provide options for individual goals and lifestyles.
All IDLife products are designed to be consumed together.
The Lean Drink Mix is a flavorless product designed to be mixed it with any drink and consumed twice a day. The Lean Capsules are a 4 pill serving that is suggested to be taken twice a day. Although the product is the same and has the same effects, the delivery method is the only difference.
Lean was developed to combat Sarcopenia, which results in the loss of lean muscle mass. As people age, the body goes into a catabolic state and eats away lean muscle. IDLife developed this product to preserve that muscle. IDLife found that Lean also curbs sugar cravings and helps people burn more fat by boosting metabolism.
IDLife has already developed an extremely high quality protein shake. We designed a Post Workout product that replenishes essential electrolytes and nutrients so the body can recover and repair itself. This allows people to choose their protein source after completing their workout.

Take your AM packet with your morning meal and your PM packet with your evening meal. If you have multiple AM or PM packets (Breakfast 1, Breakfast 2, etc.), take them all together with the appropriate meal.
If you miss a pack, take it as soon as possible once discovering the omission; you will lose the effectiveness of Chronobiology, but having some benefit is better than none. If you miss a day entirely, simply start again the next day. The Program is designed to provide optimal benefits when taken regularly, so set up a routine and place the pack on your kitchen counter or in a place you will see them each day.
You should begin to see preliminary benefits as early as 10 days. The maximum benefit, however, is usually achieved after 90 days of continuous use.
Dietary supplements like IDNutrition™ do not require FDA approval. All the IDNutrition™ products, however, are manufactured and marketed under strict compliance to FDA guidelines and mandates.
Natural ingredients have their own unique colors, and the dark speckles you see are from these natural ingredients. IDNutrition™ formulations are optimized using curcumin, quercetin, green tea extract, and broccoli extract as fillers.
Fillers are usually inactive substances that are used in the supplement manufacturing process to bind the contents of a pill or capsule, resulting in a stable dose. IDNutrition™ elects to minimize the use of inactive fillers by using the bioactive ingredients such as curcumin, quercetin, green tea extract, and broccoli extract as fillers in the products.
- Do not store in the refrigerator
- Store in a cool, dry location
- Keep out of reach of children
- Disintegration refers to the physical process by which a tablet or a capsule breaks down into smaller particles after ingestion to permit the ingredients to be absorbed.
- The disintegration rate (disintegration time) for IDNutrition™ products is generally under 10 minutes.
- Capsules or tablets manufactured at a low cost often do not disintegrate or do so at such a slow rate they are excreted and eliminated from the body before they can be of benefit.
The term Kosher is generally associated with products manufactured or derived from specific animal sources produced in a kosher facility. The only ingredients in the IDNutrition™ line that are derived from animal sources are the Fish oil, Krill oil, and the Gelatin. IDNutrition™ products are produced in several different pharmaceutical grade facilities, none of which are kosher.
Tablets do not contain any gelatin; therefore, vegans can take IDNutrition tablets without any problem. However, gelatin in the two-piece capsules and soft gels is derived from animal sources (generally from bovine).
Do your manufacturing facilities process supplements or other foods made with peanuts or other nuts?
All of the manufacturing facilities we use are peanut-free. Several of our products are manufactured utilizing coconut water powder. Each product with any nut ingredients are legibly labeled and identified.
- Other manufacturers of dietary supplements use ingredients with varying degrees of quality. Nutrients should be tested for toxic substances and any kind of contamination.
- IDNutrition™ uses high quality, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients manufactured under c-GMP guidelines (United States FDA issues current good manufacturing practices guidelines).
- All of IDNutrition™ products are tested by FDA approved independent laboratories for quality and potency.
Derived from the Greek (chronos for time, bios for life, and logos for study), the word used to describe biological rhythms.
A proprietary blend of active botanical extracts added to the IDNutrition™ Formulas in place of the inactive inert fillers, flowing agents, etc. used as fillers by other supplement manufacturers. One of the major ingredients of the IDNutrition Factor is Curcumin. In human studies, Curcumin has shown to enhance the immune system by increasing CD4 counts.
The evolving science of Chronobiology demonstrates that all body systems have a biorhythm or circadian rhythm that serve as physiological indicators that have a timing effect on specific systems’ metabolism. Nutrients and drugs give a more desired effect when given at a time that best matches this metabolism. This is called Chronobiology and is generating clinical studies that demonstrate certain drugs have a significantly different result if given in the AM as opposed to the PM. For example, since the liver is regenerating itself on a daily circadian basis in the early morning, antioxidants (i.e., Glutathione, N-Acetylcysteine) to help strengthen and support the liver are given in the IDNutrition™ PM packet. Because the pain of Osteoarthritis is generally late in the afternoon, the Joint and Inflammatory Support formulas are optimal if given in the IDNutrition™ AM packet. IDNutrition™ is delivering the optimal dose at the optimal time of day.
Nutritional supplements have a wide variation in ingredient “quality” and, to a lesser extent, ingredient “quantity.” Quality is Mission Critical and can vary as to potency, purity, solubility and absorbability.
Verification that the amount of active ingredients are present in the proper bioactive form. IDNutrition™ ingredients are carefully selected, certified and verified by our manufacturers. IDNutrition™ also uses outside independent laboratories to inspect and certify the potency of each ingredient.
It’s critical that all ingredients contained are free of pesticides, herbicides, and any chemical contaminants. IDNutrition™ ingredients are carefully selected, certified and verified to guarantee the purity of each ingredient. IDNutrition™ also uses outside independent laboratories to inspect and certify the purity of each ingredient.
Solubility is critical, regardless of the potency and purity of the ingredients. If the tablet or capsule is not readily soluble, the ingredients will not be broken down. They instead will be eliminated from the body before the nutritional value is absorbed. IDNutrition™ utilizes outside independent laboratories to verify disintegration rates of its tablet and capsule formulations to assure the pure and potent ingredients are available for absorption.
Absorbability is critical because once the potent, pure, soluble ingredients are broken down for absorption, in a form ready to be absorbed into your blood stream. IDNutrition™ formulations use ingredients that are pharmaceutical grade and also derived from natural sources.
Our formulas provide only ingredients that have scientific evidence behind the recommendations, and we provide the level of ingredients as close as possible to the dose used in the scientific studies. Many companies will add unnecessary or minimal ingredients to insinuate a potent formula. Still, the quantity of each ingredient is minuscule and far below the level required to deliver a positive result.
IDNutrition™ endeavors to use the studied amount of each ingredient and also does not believe in very high doses of nutrients (mega-dosing) where it is assumed if x is beneficial, 3x is more beneficial.
Mega-dosing or “overdosing” is often dangerous, leading to unwanted side effects and is even wasteful since “overdosing” is not only a waste of money, but the entire excessive ingredient amounts are being excreted.
