Polyphenols and Aging  The substance that scientists sought was found in a class of common chemicals known as polyphenols. They were identified in a paper in the 2003 biology journal Nature as having properties that activate sirtuins, which are proteins that regulate genes associated with aging. Polyphenols appear to encourage sirtuins to "turn on" their life-extending benefits. And resveratrol appears to be the most powerful polyphenol when it comes to the cellular and molecular anti-aging process.
VivixThe process began with finding a pure and natural form of resveratrol. Most sources of resveratrol on the market often contain unwanted compounds that can cause tolerance problems. Shaklee acquired a novel, natural source of resveratrol that is the purest form available. The resveratrol content of the extract is no less than 98%.Shaklee also discovered a super grape known as Vitis rotundifolia - the only grape in nature with an extra chromosome. Scientists believe that this super grape greatly enhances polyphenol profile. After identifying the most potent varieties of the super grape, Shaklee scientists, along with scientists from the University of Georgia, developed an exclusive extraction process which allowed for maximum biological activity. This resulted in an extract of the super grape which is high in ellagic acid - a phytonutrient not found in ordinary grapes. This phytonutrient is responsible for many unique anti-aging actions by supplying potent polyphenols that affect cellular longevity.The combination of these important discoveries allowed Shaklee scientists to achieve a breakthrough in the fight against cellular aging by capturing the power of the super grape and combining it with ultra-pure resveratrol to create the revolutionary anti-aging tonic, Vivix. Vivix at Work  Chronological aging is inevitable, we are a year older each year. Biological aging is different. This aging process begins as soon as we stop growing in our late teens. Cell reproduction begins to slow and becomes less efficient, which starts the aging process. Once thought to be inevitable, like chronological aging, recent studies have shown that this process can be slowed by increasing the efficacy of cell repair and replication.Vivix is a Liquid Dietary Supplement and each bottle is a 30 day supply. Also available is Kosher Vivix as well as Single Serving packets which are great for traveling!
