“Recent research had shown that vitamin D has many unexpected health benefits such as improved immune health and decreased rick of heart disease, diabetes and some kinds of cancer.  Based on a large number of clinical studies a consensus had begun to emerge that a level of 50 ng/ml of activated vitamin D in the bloodstream is neede for the full beneficial effects of vitamin D to be expressed.  No one was quite clear how much supplemental vitamin D was required to reach those optimum blood levels.  Shaklee Corporation asked Provident Clinical Research to help them determine how much supplemental vitamin D was required to reach optimal levels of vitamin D.  A regression analysis across all of the vitamin D intakes showed that 1000 IU of vitamin D was the minimum amount required to reach the 50 ng/ml threshold for optimal blood levelsl of vitamin D.  As blood levels of vitamin D increased, the levels of HDL increased and the risk of metabolic syndrome decreased.  So this study was groundbreaking in many ways.  In fact, it has been so well received by the scientific community, that the paper was accepted as soon as it was submitted without any revisions.  I’ve published lots of scientific papers in my career and I can tell you that it is very unusual for a paper to be accepted without a single revision.”  -Dr. Stephen Chaney”.  For information regarding a premium source of vitamin D click here.

“A new independent  clinical study conducted by State University of New York at Buffalo has just been published regarding VIVIX a breakthrough product by Shaklee.  In this study a group of volunteers consume at 910 calorie breakfast from Burger King.  One half of the group took VIVIX immediately after breakfast and the other half took a placebo.  For the group consuming Vivix a key genetic regulator of longevity called Nrf2 increased dramatically within the first 3 hours after the meal. Nrf2 triggers our detoxification pathways so that we can get rid of all of the artificial food additives and preservatives in that happy meal.  Nrf2 triggers our anti-stress pathways.” (information taken from an article entitled “Breakfast of Champions” by Dr. Stephen Chaney)

"Just because a company tells you that their study has been published doesn't mean that it's a valid
study. There are "advertising journals" that will publish any study that you submit as long as you pay
them enough." -Dr. Stephen Chaney-  When doing research, especially nutritional research, it is important to know the difference between advertising journals and peer reviewed scientific journals.
