16. Sometimes the cap is difficult to remove and/or doesn’t seem to work properly. Why is that?

• The force required to remove the cap will be affected by the force in which the cap was fastened to the bottle. While it is important to ensure the cap is twisted on snugly, it is not necessary to overly tighten the cap.

• Our quality tests show a very low chance of the cap not working when the usage instructions are followed. It is most important to remove the cap slowly. When the cap is removed too quickly, the cap may not release its full amount of content into the bottle.

• Another reason the cap may not release its content is when the proper amount of force wasn’t used to twist the cap onto the bottle. If this happens, try twisting the cap onto the bottle again with the appropriate amount of force and then removing the cap again slowly.

17. Why does some of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ mix remain in the cap after it discharges?

• It is normal for a small residual amount of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ mix contents to remain in the cap. However, it is still important to remove the cap slowly. When the cap is removed too quickly, the cap may not release the appropriate amount of content into the bottle.

• Because some residual product left in the cap is an inherent part of the product design, some drippage may occur after the cap is removed from the bottle. This does not affect the nutrient level of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap. Simply take care when removing the cap to ensure no concentrate gets onto clothing or fabrics.

18. Can the caps leak?

Based on our extensive quality evaluations, there is a very low risk of the product contents leaking out of the cap unless it is dropped onto a hard surface.

19. I noticed my beverage doesn’t always have exactly the same color or flavor intensity. Why is that?

• Nutrilite uses botanicals as well as natural colors and flavors in our formulations. Due to changes from crop to crop and season to season these plant materials are expected to have naturally occurring variation.

• Because this is a liquid product, slight fading of the color and flavor intensity over time is expected. While the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap can be stored at room temperature, refrigerated storage will promote optimal color and flavor retention.

• Water quality can also impact the flavor of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product. The quality of potable tap and well water is highly variable. For best results, mix with a high-quality water such as that which has been filtered through an eSpring® Water Purifier.

20. Do I need to keep the small plastic cap that came with my Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ bottle?

It is not necessary to keep the small plastic cap that came with your Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ bottle. The cap was applied to protect the inside of the bottle from any dust exposure that may occur with packaging and shipping of the bottles and/or to be used as a cap for your beverage.

Product Usage Information

21. Is the bottle that came with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product dishwasher safe?

Yes. The bottle that came with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product is top-rack dishwasher safe. Given the shape of the bottle and the small opening required to fit the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ closure, extra time may be needed in order for the bottle to dry completely after washing.

22. Is the bottle that came with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product recyclable?

The Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product comes with a reusable bottle that is made from Material Code seven plastic (7 – OTHER), which is recyclable in some areas. Please check with your local municipality to confirm whether recycling is an option for you.

23. Is the bottle that came with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product free of Bisphenol A (BPA)?

Yes. The Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ bottle is free of Bisphenol A (BPA).

24. Can I use other water bottles with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ caps?

We do not recommend using other commercially available bottles with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ caps.

The reuseable bottle has been specially designed to enhance the beverage experience with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap. This includes use of a durable, Bisphenol A-free plastic as well as specially placed graphics to ensure proper optimal viewing when the cap discharges into the bottle. Additionally, all of our product quality testing has been conducted using the special bottle that came with the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ caps. There is no guarantee that the cap will function properly if used with any other bottle.

25. What is the purpose of the line around the neck of the bottle?

The line around the neck of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ bottle is the fill level line reference for water. Water should not be filled above the fill level line on the bottle. If water is filled over the fill level line, the contents may overflow when the cap is placed on the bottle or when the cap contents are discharged into the bottle.

26. Can the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Caps be refrigerated or frozen?

The Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Caps can be refrigerated but should not be frozen.

27. Why are the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Caps sweetened with stevia?

As regulations now allow the use of natural, zero-calorie sweeteners, we have begun to incorporate them into Nutrilite™ formulations. These types of sweeteners are used to create an optimal flavor with a minimal amount of added sugar and calories. They also create less bulk in the formulation so we can fit more nutrients into the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Caps.

28. Can I drink directly from the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap?

The Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap is not designed to be used alone. Without dilution in water, the contents are very acidic and may cause tooth irritation as well as irritation of the lining of mouth and gastrointestinal tract.

29. Can I mix the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap with other beverages like XS® Energy Drinks?

The Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap is designed to be consumed with 12 ounces of cold water. Sensory and quality tests have not been conducted when mixed with other beverages such as XS® Energy Drinks.

30. Does mixing the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap with more than 12 ounces of water alter the nutritional value of the product?

Mixing the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap with more than 12 ounces of water will not impact the amount of calories and nutrients consumed. However, mixing with a larger amount of water will result in a lighter product color with diluted flavor and sweetness.

31. Does 45 mg of vitamin C from Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ twist cap provide the same efficacy as 45 mg of vitamin C from a dietary supplement tablet or capsule?

Yes. The efficacy of vitamin C obtained from the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap is equal to that from the same amount of vitamin C from a dietary supplement tablet or capsule.

32. What if I don’t consume all of the contents of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ product in one sitting?

All of our nutrient stability tests have been conducted with the assumption that the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap is being used in one sitting. We do not expect any significant nutrient degradation if the product is consumed within 24 hours after combining with water. After that time period, we cannot guarantee the nutrient content that is listed on the product label.

33. Can the contents of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap be mixed with hot water?

We do not recommend mixing the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap with hot water as it may degrade the natural vitamin C that is present in the formula.

34. Explain the pressure mechanism of the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ Immunity Drink Twist Cap. Can I use the cap if I am in the mountains or on an airplane?

The Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap uses a U.S. patented design (U.S. Patent# 7,886,899 B2.) that is internally pressurized with nitrogen gas. The cap helps maintain the product ingredients until you are ready to enjoy a refreshing beverage experience. The amount of pressure is approximately 110 pounds per square inch (psi) or 758 kilopascals (kPa), which is similar to the pressure in a bicycle tire. The contents remain stable in the Nutrilite® Phyto2GO™ cap, and once the cap has been securely placed on the reusable bottle, they can be enjoyed anywhere including in the mountains or on an airplane.
