Shaklee Polyphenol Product
Science Behind Shaklee Resveratrol Product- Vivix®
Scientists did years of research to develop this resveratrol product. Vivix® was created by a science team with a unique profile of polyphenols shown in laboratory studies to help fight against cellular aging. In addition to ellagic acid, Vivix® also supplies polyphenols such as phenolic acids, ellagitannins, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins.
Vivix® Polyphenols
Complex Mixture of Polyphenols
Together, red wine extract, purple carrot extract, black currant extract, pomegranate extract, and chebulic myrobalan deliver a complex mixture of polyphenols that have been shown to have potent antioxidant properties.4-7
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a natural compound found in trace amounts in the skins of grapes, red wine, and peanuts.4
The Muscadine Grape
A nutrition powerhouse with a unique polyphenol profile
Scientific research focused on a super grape known as Vitis rotundifolia. This is the only grape with an extra chromosome, which scientists believe greatly enhances its polyphenol profile and potential health benefits.
Unlike other grapes, the muscadine grape contains an extra pair of chromosomes. Scientists believe this extra genetic information accounts for the grape’s powerful survival mechanisms and unique polyphenol profile.
The skin, seeds, and pulp of the muscadine grape are all extremely rich in a potent mix of polyphenols—natural antioxidants capable of neutralizing the harmful molecules that damage cells and contribute to cellular aging.
Polyphenols in Vivix are 13x more powerful than resveratrol alone.3
The muscadine grape, one of nature's rarest, most potent fruits, is native to North Carolina and other parts of the southeastern region of the United States. These large, thick-skinned, and large-seeded grapes grow in small, loose clusters and are often harvested as individual berries. The muscadine contains the full complement of polyphenols found in other grapes, including resveratrol and quercetin. However, unlike any other grape, the muscadine also contains ellagic acid and ellagitannins.
Our muscadine grapes are grown on a multigenerational farm in southern Georgia. At first, the grapes were grown only for juice and wine. When scientists discovered that the leftover pomace is rich in antioxidants, we partnered with the farm to utilize everything this rare and potent fruit has to offer.
