The science behind Vivamune™ HEALTH CHEWS

Ever wonder what makes a carrot orange?

It’s beta-carotene, just one of over 600 carotenoids belonging to a family of compounds with members present in every photosynthetic plant on Earth. But it’s not just about aesthetics. Beta-Carotene is an important precursor to vitamin A – an indispensible carotenoid derivative that has gained massive popularity in the health and beauty market.

What recent studies are now showing, however, is that there are benefits inherent to beta-carotene that go beyond just vitamin A and can actually be attributed to other non-vitamin A carotenoid derivatives formed during the natural breakdown by full oxidation of beta-carotene and other members of the carotenoid family.

Sound complex? That’s because it is. But let’s see if we can simplify it just a little. Here is the Company’s co-founder, Graham Burton, with a brief explanation:

Beta-Carotene: It’s not just for carrots

When the beta-carotene molecule – most famous for making carrots orange – is allowed to fully oxidize, it breaks down into a complex mixture of molecules that, collectively, may exert many beneficial health effects, specifically through the immune system. We have nicknamed this complex mix of oxidized carotenoid derivatives OxC-beta™ Compound (“OxC-beta”). This blend is unique and distinctly different from Vitamin A, which is the result of a very specific enzyme-driven reaction within the intestinal tract.

OxC-beta – The Total Product of Spontaneous Oxidation of B-Carotene

OxC-beta: A diamond in the rough

While the process of carotenoid oxidation occurs naturally in the plant world (and possibly to at least some extent in animals), the products of that oxidation reaction are present in such minuscule amounts that it would be physically impossible to get the full benefit just by increasing vegetable consumption.

According to clinical and laboratory studies carried out by Dr. Jamie Nickerson and his Avivagen team, OxC-beta has been shown to support the immune system in such a way the body is better protected against foreign attackers such as bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances. And with less energy being expended on fighting off bad guys, the body can use that energy to keep things running at optimum levels. While it may take some time for this research to hit the human health market, our four-legged canine friends are able to benefit from this research right now making them the first species to utilize the inherent powers contained in the beta-carotene molecule.

What customers are saying

“Troy is a 16 year old Lab/Collie mix. After the first week of use, my wife came home from a trip and noticed right away how nice and shiny was. She did not know at the time that Troy had been on the supplement. In under two weeks, he was slightly more mobile and alert.His vision and ability to track to treats being thrown in the air had significantly increased. He trotted a bit faster and had an extra jump in his step. I will certainly continue to use Vivamune so that Troy can fully enjoy his daily routines.” Read more

We began giving Kira Vivamune Chews and within two weeks we noticed she was so active and playful! Her skin looks great and even her doggy breath seems less bothersome. We will continue to give her this product. She takes it as it is a reward.” Read more

“I began giving Vivamune chews to my dog, Bailey, for his joint issues. After only two weeks of being on Vivamune we noticed that Bailey was not as stiff and was moving with more freedom. He is full of pep and his digestion is great. I am pleased to say that I have noticed a positive change in Bailey’s joint and digestive health compared to what it was prior to trying the Vivamune.” Read more
