Cellular Anti-Aging & Living Longer

Most of us have heard of the "French Paradox". It relates to people from France, living longer and being healthier, and that being attributed to their regular and avid consumption of wine.

For years, there has been a belief that red wine has benefits for good heart health. But now, researchers are finding that it has benefits against cancer, dementia and other age-related diseases. The secret in the wine is what is known as "resveratrol". One, of many good resources to read on resveratrol and polyphenols, is available on the National Cancer Institute's website, where red wine and cancer prevention is discussed.

Dr David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School has been a key player of numerous studies about resveratrol and was interviewed by Barbara Walters about this revolutionary, anti-aging product. Dr Sinclair is now also a member of Shaklee's Scientific Board, and Shaklee is very pleased to be associated with his mission to improve world health through new scientifically based innovations with respect to aging and longevity.

Resveratrol is created from several different natural plant sources, but the most beneficial known source is the grape; specifically the muscadine grape. Resveratrol has been referenced in over 2,000 research publications, including multiple studies conducted by Harvard University, at the National Institute of Aging, at the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Environmental Science.

Another great thing about resveratrol, is that it has not been found to be toxic or have adverse effects on humans. And because of that, Shaklee offers a resveratrol product based on Dr Sinclair's research, that is 10 times more powerful than red wine. My website provides more information about the science and the product, known as Vivix.

Shaklee designed the Vivix dietary supplement for adult men and women who are concerned about cellular aging and who are committed to a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. Vivix is a unique blend of polyphenolic ingredients that provides an amount of resveratrol that cannot be normally obtained in a typical diet, but is carefully chosen based on the available evidence and the emerging laboratory research that points to both the potential antioxidant and cellular anti-aging properties of resveratrol.
