Eternal youth

Eternal youth is the concept of human physical immortality free of ageing. The youth referred to is usually meant to be in contrast to the depredations of aging, rather than a specific age of the human lifespan. Eternal youth is common in mythology, and is a popular theme in fiction.

Telomeres

An individual's DNA plays a role in the aging process. Aging begins even before birth, as soon as cells start to die and need to be replaced. On the ends of each chromosome are repetitive sequences of DNA, telomeres, that protect the chromosome from joining with other chromosomes, and have several key roles. One of these roles is to regulate cell division by allowing each cell division to remove a small amount of genetic code. The amount removed varies by the cell type being replicated. The gradual degradation of the telomeres restricts cell division to 40-60 times, also known as the Hayflick limit. Once this limit has been reached, more cells die than can be replaced in the same time span. Thus, soon after this limit is reached the organism dies. The importance of telomeres is now clearly evident: lengthen the telomeres, lengthen the life.

Slow aging at the cellular level^®*

Scientists believe daily cell damage from poor diet and environmental conditions may be a key factor in normal aging.

Powerful results

Help your cells repair and protect against daily cellular damage.*

Laboratory studies show that Vivix^® key ingredients:

• Protect and repair DNA*¹
• Protect eyes and support eye health*²
• Blunt the inflammatory response of healthy people to an unhealthy meal, which over time can lead to cellular aging*³
• Positively impact cellular energy production*¹

Telomeres

Telomeres are protective endcaps that protect chromosomes in cells. As we age, telomeres grow shorter, and extreme shortening is associated with higher health risks. The big idea: Slowing telomere shortening may support longer, healthier lives.

Shaklee users had longer telomeres³

Statistical analysis projects that an 80-year-old Shaklee supplement user would have the same telomere length as a 41-year-old who did not take supplements.⁴

Dr. Blackburn on telomeres

Shaklee Scientific Advisory Board Member Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn is a Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine and considered the top authority on telomere science. Shaklee partnered with Dr. Blackburn in a preliminary study which showed that people using Shaklee supplements long-term had longer telomeres than the control group, suggesting they have less telomere shortening.

Mitochondria are the components in our cells that generate energy. As cells age, mitochondria decline in number and/or efficiency. Laboratory studies show that Vivix key ingredients increased mitochondrial mass and cellular energy production.*¹

Extracted with a patented process that concentrates and preserves its full spectrum of beneficial polyphenols, muscadine grapes have a higher concentration of ellagic acid and ellagitannins than other grapes. Combined with resveratrol, these polyphenols yield immense antioxidant power.*

To ensure eco-friendly use of the muscadine grape, Shaklee suppliers are committed to the highest standards of green and sustainable farming.

The key ingredients in Vivix help protect and repair cellular DNA.¹ In a clinical study, key ingredients were shown to blunt the inflammatory response of healthy people to an unhealthy meal, which over time can lead to cellular aging.*³

One marker of overall health is telomere length. Telomeres are protective endcaps that protect chromosomes in cells. As we age, telomeres grow shorter, and extreme shortening is associated with higher health risks. The big idea: Slowing telomere shortening may support a longer, healthier life. Shaklee supplement users had a 40% lower rate of age-related telomere shortening.*⁴ An 80-year-old Shaklee supplement user is projected to have the same telomere length as a 41-year-old non-supplement user based on a preliminary clinical study.⁴

What powers Vivix? Muscadine grapes—one of nature's rarest, most potent fruits. Muscadine grapes have a higher concentration of the polyphenols ellagic acid and ellagitannins than other grapes. Through a patented extraction process, the full spectrum of beneficial polyphenols in muscadine grapes are concentrated and preserved. Combined with resveratrol, these polyphenols yield immense antioxidant power.*

To ensure eco-friendly use of the muscadine grape, Shaklee has developed a long-term partnership with a family-owned vineyard, committed to the highest standards of green and sustainable farming.

FAQs:

What makes the muscadine grape different from other grapes?
Muscadine grapes are one of nature's rarest, most potent grapes, and they possess a unique polyphenol profile that science suggests offers a number of health benefits. Unlike other grapes, muscadine grapes boast superior concentrations of ellagitannins and ellagic acid that, when combined with other muscadine grape polyphenols, yield immense antioxidant power.* Muscadine grapes can also thrive in harsh environments; their unique phenolic profile provides extra protection against bacteria, fungus, yeast, drought, excess moisture, and temperature extremes, while other grapes are much more fragile in these environments.

What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are a group of phytonutrients that confer antioxidant benefits and potentially protective effects against cellular aging. In fact, emerging research suggests that polyphenols may elicit multiple biological effects consistent with sustained and improved human health.*

Is Vivix an antioxidant product?
Laboratory studies have shown that Vivix ingredients can act as powerful antioxidants; however, Vivix goes beyond providing antioxidant support. Key ingredients in Vivix have been shown in a clinical study to activate cellular defenses and blunt the inflammatory response of healthy people to an unhealthy meal, which over time can lead to cellular aging.*3
