No Wonder the Pharmaceutical Industry Wants to Keep This From Us (Videos)
by N.Morgan
A couple of years ago, I had a health crisis that changed my entire life. I ended up having 2 major surgeries and I was still not feeling as good as I once had. I lacked the energy and the stamina I needed to keep up with my fast-paced job and was unable to complete my chores on my homestead. Then a friend of mine spoke to me about a product called Prodovite and I’m really glad I took the chance on it.
I did some research and found out that Prodovite provides nutrients that enable your body to achieve the best use of air (oxygen), water, and sunshine; and supports optimal health, energy and vitality by delivering quality bioavailable and bioactive ingredients into the body quickly and effectively. This was exactly what I needed and I’m so glad I added this to my health regimen.
Our bodies are made of air, water, food, and sunshine. The importance of each of those things can be measured by how long you live without them. So, air and water are the two most important to staying alive.
Moreover, the quality of your health is directly proportional to and dependent on the quality and usability of those factors. Food (nutrition) is what enables your body to use air, water, and sunshine; and Prodovite enables your body to make better use of your food as well. Prodovite® is a liquid multivitamin, mineral, and phytonutrient complex that uses an exclusive Prodosome® Encapsulation Technology to promote rapid and sustainable absorption of its nutritional ingredients.
Prodovite® provides nutrients that enable your body to achieve the best use of air (oxygen), water, and sunshine; and supports optimal health, energy and vitality by simultaneously delivering quality bioavailable and bioactive ingredients into the body quickly and effectively.

Prodosome® Encapsulation ensures maximum bio-availability because:
- Made with premium quality nutritional ingredients
- The Advanced-Shear TBJet Compression (a type of advanced wet milling) and Prodosome® Encapsulation promote rapid and sustainable absorption and benefits∗
- EFIquence® Energy Frequency Imprinting technology impregnates and saturates the SK713 phospholipids with a natural solar-evaporated proprietary electrolyte complex to increase the energy signature and benefit of the Prodosomes.
- Prodosomes result in highly stabilized custodial multi-lamellar energetically enhanced liposomes, mimicking human tissue and, in a production batch that when allowed to stand for several hours, has generated an exothermic reaction; heating up to 98.6 degrees F (i.e. body temperature).
- Provides sustained blood levels of valuable health-promoting ingredients∗
Prodovite® Supplement Live Blood Cell Imaging
Watch stunning before and after the results of what an individual’s blood analysis looks like. The individual’s blood is first sampled, then this individual is given 1 ounce of the Prodovite® Multi-Vitamin. The Microscopist waits 5 minutes and then takes another blood sample. This study demonstrates that Prodovite’s ingredients Get In. Wait until you see the difference this product makes.
Prodovite® is unlike anything on the market:
- Produced utilizing a novel Advanced Shear TBJet Compression Process (a mechanical ‘predigestion process’) to reduce particle size and improve uniformity
- Supplies complementary nutrients for maximum synergistic benefits
- Achieves both rapid and prolonged absorption
- Absorption begins even before you swallow
- Enables nutrient clusters to be absorbed at the same time…i.e. ‘synchronized absorption’
- Phytosil is a potent herbal complex of ‘one part herb to one part water’ extraction ratio
- Breakthrough formulation backed by ongoing clinical research
What Make Prodovite So Unique?
VNI Executives on Prodovite Testimonies
Ingredients
ASTRAGALUS (ROOT) EXTRACT:
Astragalus is an ‘adaptogen’, meaning that it has a normalizing effect and improves the ability of an organism to adapt to environmental factors. Adaptogens interact with ‘stress response mediators’ involved in the regulation of homeostasis (maintain metabolic balance [or equilibrium]) for energy metabolism, the neuroendocrine system, and the immune system. As such, Astragalus is thought to help protect the body against various stresses, including physical, mental, and/or emotional stress, and promote better immune competence.∗
FO-TI (ROOT) EXTRACT:
Fo-Ti is believed to possess anti-aging/longevity promoting benefits. Research suggests that Fo-Ti contains an alkaloid with rejuvenating effects on the nerves, brain cells and endocrine glands. It supports and promotes competent adrenal function and helps to detoxify the body. It is also reported to boost immune function and increase sexual vigor.
It is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a liver and kidney tonic; blood and vital essence toner; and to fortify muscles, tendons, and bones.*
DECAF GREEN TEA (LEAF) EXTRACT [GTE]:
Green tea has powerful antioxidant properties owing to its potent content of polyphenols, especially EGCG. These polyphenols are beneficial bioflavonoids that help increase the strength of the body’s connective tissues. This helps to reduce tissue fragility, providing increased protection against the initiation of inflammatory events.∗ GTE is reported to possess about 20 times more antioxidant power than vitamin C. The decaf form that we use removes the stimulating effects of caffeine.
CHAMOMILE (FLOWER) EXTRACT:
It is used to improve muscle tone and reduce the potential for spasms. As it contains bioflavonoids, it also improves connective tissue strength, reducing the need to initiate inflammatory events, especially those related to the digestive system; supports a calming and stress relieving effect, and supports restful restorative sleep.∗
CITRUS BIOFLAVONOIDS (FROM ROSE HIPS) [CBF]:
Rose hips are a potent natural source of CBFs. Aside from their roles as color pigments in plants, CBFs are best known as tissue builders and antioxidants. CBFs were originally called Vitamin P, supposedly because they improved membrane health and ‘permeability’.
CBFs help reduces the need to initiate inflammatory events following tissue insult because they strengthen connective tissues. They also appear to reduce the fragility and susceptibility of connective tissue to injury from insulting airborne (inhaled), topical contact, and orally ingested allergens.∗
ELEUTHERO (ROOT) EXTRACT:
Being safer than caffeine, Eleuthero root extract helps reduce fatigue and enhance endurance, while also supporting calming effects. In addition, it supports energy and stamina and strengthens the immune system. It is also reported to enhance focus and support liver function.∗
HAWTHORN BERRY EXTRACT:
While not being renowned for this feature, Hawthorn berry is a beneficial source of flavonoids, especially OPCs. Its active ingredients include tannins, flavonoids (such as vitexin, rutin, quercetin, and hyperoside), oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs, such as epicatechin, procyanidin, and particularly procyanidin B-2), flavone-C, triterpene acids (such as ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and crataegolic acid), and phenolic acids (such as caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and related phenolcarboxylic acids). Hawthorne berry supports digestion and cardiovascular function.
It helps to improve fatigue; normal heartbeat rhythms; exercise performance, tolerance, and breathing; and the strength with which the heart ejects blood into the arteries.∗
GOTU KOLA (WHOLE HERB):
Not to be confused with the stimulant Kola nut, in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Indian Medicine (Ayurvedic Medicine), Gotu kola is one of the chief herbs for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells. The plant has been referred to as “food for the brain”. This oriental herb has been shown to promote tranquility, stress relief, as well as improve mental functions such as focus, concentration, and memory.
It is believed to fortify the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it, and to strengthen the adrenals. The herb’s calming properties help support restful sleep and calming one for yoga and meditative practices. It is commonly used to rebuild energy reserves, improve memory, and reduce fatigue, both mental and physical.∗ Gotu kola contains valuable glycosides and is a source of Vitamin K, magnesium, calcium and sodium.
GINGER ROOT EXTRACT:
Ginger helps to reduce the need to initiate inflammatory events by strengthening connective tissues, reducing fragility and susceptibility. It is ideal for boosting circulation, supporting blood pressure already within the normal range, and maintaining the proper thickness (viscosity) and fluidity of the blood. Ginger also helps support immune function.
Ginger root is a medicinal herb used primarily to promote digestive comfort and reduce various types of discomfort after eating. It also supports controlled and voluntary muscle strength and stability.∗
ELDERBERRY (BERRY) EXTRACT:
Elderberries are a rich source of natural phytochemicals called flavonoids, which, when introduced into the body in foods, are called ‘bioflavonoids’. Flavonoids are also known as Vitamin P for the ‘permeability factor’. That means they promote the strength, integrity, and permeability of all connective tissues, particularly the cell membranes. By strengthening tissues, flavonoids reduce tissue fragility and susceptibility to damage from various types of insults, including antigens/allergens and trauma. As such, they reduce the need to initiate inflammatory events, maintaining cellular health.
Elderberry extract helps boost immune function, reducing the need for water retention and congestion. The flavonoids in Elderberry extract also provide antioxidant benefits and help support the body’s fight against viruses. Elderberry also helps support respiratory health. Laboratory studies have shown that elderberry helps maintain the healthy structure and function of the sinus membranes and reduces excessive sinus mucus secretion.∗
LIGNALOE™:
Many months of exhaustive research resulted in the formulation of Lignaloe™, a very special Proprietary GN14 Phytonutrient blend consisting of:

BIALOE®:
BiAloe®: Aloe vera has been renowned for centuries as a healing plant.∗ The leaf of the Aloe vera is purported to be filled with a gel containing at least 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids, an array of nutritional sugars, and 200 active enzymes. The super-beneficial active ingredient in Aloe vera is acemannan.
However, the natural chemical constituents of Aloe vera can be categorized in the following main areas: Amino acids, anthraquinones (mostly in the leaf itself), enzymes, lignins, minerals, mono- and polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, sterols, and vitamins; it is pretty great stuff! This feature, by the way, is why the unique water extraction process is so very important to preserve and protect the maximum synergistic benefits of all the natural components in the leaf gel.
BiAloe is a very special DSR0114 Water-Extracted Freeze-Dried Certified Organic Aloe Vera Gel Powder. To achieve the best extract, BiAloe starts with unique (Organic) planting, harvesting, and proprietary processing methods. This results in an Aloe vera powder that is up to 10 times more potent than any commercially available Aloe vera. BiAloe® has the highest total Acemannan, the highest immunomodulatory Acemannan, and the highest bio-available Acemannan.
While it is one of the most expensive Aloes made, it is the most cost-effective to use since it is up to 10 times more potent (and more complete) than other Aloe vera products. 87% of the Acemannan in BiAloe is from 5 kDa to 400 kDa (kilodaltons), which is the Immunomodulatory range. Scientific evidence indicates this range is ideal for Acemannan to be more bioavailable and bioactive. Other aloe products contain mostly high molecular weight Acemannan, and/or do not have the complete range of Acemannans, which are very important to the efficacy of the Aloe.
In keeping with our Quality Control standards, Victory Nutrition International (VNI) chose Lorand Labs as the Aloe supplier because it is the only company that routinely tests for Acemannan (Poly-Acetyl-Mannose) and reports the results. Some of the other Aloe suppliers feature carbohydrate levels and other total polysaccharide content. But, precious few define the details of their product’s content; most don’t know. Our investigation determined that all of this rhetoric is designed to confuse investigators.
If everyone talks about their products in different terms it is virtually impossible to compare apples to apples. Acemannan is the most important active ingredient whose beneficial effects are synergistically amplified in the presence of all the other naturally occurring wholly preserved components in BiAloe. Acemannan is a sub-group of Poly-Mannosides, which is a sub-group of Polysaccharides; which is a sub-group of Carbohydrates.
We also reviewed head-to-head comparisons of the different popular aloe products and confirmed our decision that BiAloe is the best product.
PROLIGNA®:
Proligna is a Water-Extracted Freeze-Dried LPC108 Pinus sylvestris strobilus (Scotch Pine Cone [SPC]) extract supported by 14 patents. Proligna® is the result of at least 30 peer-reviewed studies demonstrating its effectiveness. Proligna extract was shown to increase the number of immunes (Dendritic) cells up to 9 fold in less than 2 weeks. Dendritic cells determine the presence of pathogenic antigens (molecular ‘bad guys’) and then educate the rest of the Immune system to their presence so they can be destroyed.
More precisely, dendritic cells present antigens to macrophages (immune cells known as ‘Big Eaters’) for destruction. Hence, dendritic cells are called ‘Antigen Presenting Cells’ [APC]. Antigens are harmful molecules foreign to the body that generally cause a health problem (a type of ‘pathogen’). Dendritic Cells have the broadest range of antigen presentation and are probably the most important APCs. Restoration of dendritic cells helps to bolster immune competence.∗
Without dendritic Immune cells, the Immune system cannot tell the difference between friend or foe and often ends up attacking the host body and not the ‘pathogens’. With higher levels of dendritic Immune cells, the Immune system is much more efficient in identifying true pathogens. Dendritic cells enable more effective immune attacks on harmful anaerobes (i.e. yeast, parasites, microbes, viruses, etc.). Proligna is also a rich source of lignans and saccharides. Research indicates that conjoining lignans with polysaccharides increases immune potentiating activities.∗
Victory Nutrition International (VNI) has invested in extensive scientific and technical due diligence to qualify ingredient selection. Then, rigorous quality control and analytical testing procedures are performed on every batch to ensure consistently and continued compliance with compositional quality standards.
Many of these ingredients individually have a significant amount of research demonstrating impressive health benefits. Collectively, these ingredients are the subject of Victory Nutrition International (VNI)’s proprietary research.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can children take Prodovite?
Yes, but first check with your Pediatrician to adjust the amount based on body weight.
There are many potent multiple vitamin and mineral supplements on the market. What makes Prodovite® better than some really great-looking multis?
Prodovite® eliminates the need for ‘megadose supplements’. A published clinical study shows that Prodovite® provides more complete absorption of its ingredient payload at a much faster rate AND for a longer period of time than conventional supplements. Moreover, Prodovite® contains some very special ingredients unavailable in any other multi-technology. (Also see the answer on the Difference between Prodovite® and Whole Food Supplements and the answer on vitamins and minerals being chemical isolates.)
What is the difference between the Prodovite® and whole food supplements?
This is a well-intentioned question but is not really feasible to assess. There are too many multiple nutrient products on the market to undertake a comparative analysis. Any comparison would be an ‘apples to oranges’ comparison since the Prodovite® technology represents a breakthrough in nutritional supplementation…no other technology compares. The comparison is not just about the nutrient content. It is about how the ingredients are prepared, processed, encapsulated in phospholipids, and delivered to the body that is strikingly different.
Moreover, we engage in scientific research to validate the beneficial effects of our supplements. Most other companies don’t. The best of them rely on the information supplied by the ingredient suppliers IF they use any evidence-based ingredients, to begin with. Most of the others use ‘borrowed’ science’, which in most cases is actually ‘stolen’.
That is, they use the scientific evidence from research on another company’s premium quality version to support sales of their cheaper copy-cat version. Or, they don’t say anything and hope the consumer stays ignorant and just buys the cheapest product because of the misleading claim that ‘it doesn’t really matter since they’re all the same anyway.’
While we use scientifically validated, evidence-based and branded ingredients, Victory commissions research on OUR finished products to validate their beneficial effects. There is no need for speculation or theoretical conjecture. Other companies need to do the same type of scientific validation if they want to have this information.
Vitamins and minerals in most supplements are chemical isolates created in a lab and are fundamentally and bio-chemically not nearly as beneficial to the human body as total whole food supplements. Please comment.
Based solely on the quality and diversity of ingredients, whole food supplements can be very beneficial as they are definitely superior to most conventional non-whole food supplements, that is, just USP vitamin and mineral products. Importantly, Prodovite® is a multivitamin, mineral, and botanical formulation, containing very beneficial botanical extracts (i.e. herbs and phytonutrients).
If the nutritional ingredients in Prodovite® were in the same form as those nutrients in all of the other standard non-whole food-based multis, then it would NEVER be able to dramatically change the properties of the blood in only a few minutes, which it does. Moreover, and most importantly, you would NOT want to deliver whole food ingredients so rapidly into the blood. That could have disastrous results, ‘freaking out the immune system’ from the presence of undigested whole food components in the blood.
Keep in mind that after accidents, the number one cause of emergency room visits in this country is digestive problems. So, relying on food and whole supplements that require digestive processing (disintegration & dissolution) is not the best way to guarantee that the supplement ingredients get into the tissues where they are desperately needed…no matter how great the ingredients are or what the source is. The Prodosome® encapsulated ingredients in Prodovite® promote rapid absorption and utilization.
In addition, minerals are not made in a laboratory. They are sourced from the earth or sea. They are then put into a simulated digestive environment with proteins, amino acids, or other organic acids and allowed to react with and bind to the organic acids, forming a ‘chelated mineral’, bonding in a similar fashion as exists in food.
Prodovite® essentially achieves the end result of absorption and bioavailability intended by the digestive process in only a few minutes. With the epidemic of digestive maladies, delivering the nutritional payload directly to the blood in a ‘body-friendly’ form in such a short time is an extraordinary achievement.
Is our vitamin whole-food-based, and is it equivalent to the dehydrated juice-based products?
See the answer to the difference between Prodovite and Whole Food Supplements.
Why is cyanocobalamin used as the source of vitamin B12 in Prodovite® instead of the active methylcobalamin form?
We appreciate and agree with the desire to have only the best ingredients in the product. The ‘best’ ingredients also must be the ‘most appropriate’ ingredients.
Cyanocobalamin is an especially common form in the vitamin B12 family. It is the most famous vitamer of the family, because it is, in chemical terms, the most air and water stable. So, the primary reason for using Cyanocobalamin is that Prodovite® is a liquid and methylcobalamin is a much less stable form of B12 than the ‘cyano’ form.
In addition, vitamin B12 is very fragile, requiring cofactors for digestion and absorption (i.e. ‘Intrinsic Factor’) significantly reducing its absorption potential. The Low Shear TBJet Compression of ALL the ingredients, followed by the EFIquence™ Technology Prodosome® process of the now-reduced and uniformly sized ingredient particles, eliminates the need for an extended digestive process. As such, B12 absorption is much higher when it is encapsulated within the Prodosome® sphere.
Why is alcohol listed as an ingredient in Prodovite?
A small amount of USP alcohol is used in the Prodosome® production process. The amount of alcohol remaining in the product is extremely small. Most botanical extracts use alcohol both in the extraction process AND as a carrier to optimize absorption of the botanical since alcohol absorbs rapidly. The amount of alcohol in Prodovite® is nowhere near enough to pose a problem for anyone with an issue with alcohol, especially if it is diluted in water. In addition, this very small amount of alcohol has a mild preservative effect.
Why is ascorbic acid used for vitamin C and not a whole food C complex?
Once vitamin C is IN the blood, it is no longer a complex food source but has been reduced to its simple chemical form via digestion. Using ascorbic acid is an appropriate form to deliver vitamin C quickly into the bloodstream with the SK713 SLP Prodosome® delivery technology. (See also the answer on the Difference between Prodovite® and Whole Food Supplements.)
I take a bisphosphonate drug to build my bone density. Can I take Prodovite® as well?
In the body, cells are created, have a functional life, and then they die; they actually turn themselves off in a sort of cell-suicide process (called “apoptosis” which leads to necrosis [cell death]). Normally, the body disposes of those dead cells. In the case of bone, bisphosphonate drugs prevent the disposal of those dead bone cells, making the bones denser (with dead bone cells) because they build up.
While the bone does get ‘thicker’ and denser, numerous consequences have been reported with this forced retention of dead bone cells. A number of the other functions of the bones (like making red and white blood cells) can also be impaired, leading to unhealthy outcomes. Importantly, instructions for taking these bisphosphonate drugs include recommendations to supplement with Calcium and vitamin D. These instructions validate the need to continue to invest in building healthy bones and tissues whether you are taking these drugs or not! So, YES, continue to take Prodovite® for your health.
Lots of competitors quote the Physicians Desk Reference saying that liquid vitamins are absorbed in a 98% rate versus only about 10-20% of vitamins that are capsules or tablet form. And yet there are articles alleging that that statement is misleading. What is the correct answer?
A liquid delivery alone is not adequate to produce such a high rate of absorption. If you can’t disintegrate a tablet within 30 minutes, chances are very high that you won’t be able to properly digest the ingredients in a liquid either. In addition, the contents of the liquid are crucial determinants of how well they will be ‘digested.’ Prodovite® is NOT ‘just’ a liquid supplement. It is unique and superior owing to its premium quality ingredients, proprietary production process, and the SK713 SLP Prodosome® encapsulation technology.
Why are soy lecithin phospholipids in the Prodovite supplement?
The Prodosome compound is a proprietary blend of naturally occurring ingredients. One of the constituents is known as Phosphatidyl Choline. This compound is essential to the integrity of all cells! The Phosphatidyl Choline used in Prodosomes is derived from Soy Lecithin, a vegetarian source. 100% of the make-up of the soy-derived material used in Prodosomes is comprised of Phosphatides. Of that, approximately 90% is Phosphatidyl Choline. The balance is a mixture of Phosphatidyl Serine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, and Phosphatidic Acid.
All of the Phosphatides are necessary and beneficial for health. The common components of soy of which some people may be sensitive to, or want to avoid, are the proteins and isoflavones, also known as ‘phytoestrogens’. The material used in the production of Prodosomes contains no protein, isoflavones (or ‘phytoestrogens’), or any other substance from soy. Therefore, there is no level of any substance within the finished Prodosomes which people typically avoid.
What are the specks I see sometimes on the inside of the neck of the Prodovite bottle or the specks that appear floating on the top of the bottle?
The residue on the inside of the bottleneck is spattered from the rapid elimination of oxygen following the introduction of a drop of liquid nitrogen. It is the residue from a sort of ‘mini-explosion’ of oxygen purging from the liquid nitrogen drop, that expands 11,000 times its volume in a millisecond after going into the Prodovite. It is not mold or other nasty substance.
It is just Prodovite ‘solids residue’ following the purging of oxygen and dehydration. It is perfectly safe. Prodovite is not heat-treated at any stage of its production. This technology is the best way to prevent oxidation prior to opening. This is also why the Prodovite must be refrigerated after opening.
What is the best type of water to use when mixing Prodovite Concentrate?
You should always use pH neutral water, either purified, distilled, or spring. The neutral pH is water’s natural pH, defined as where the concentration of ‘H’ [aka 'acid'] and the concentration of ‘OH’ [aka 'alkaline'] meet at pH 7.0 [the concentration of 'H2O']. This allows the various nutrients held within the Prodosome spheres to mix properly and be held in suspension within the water until it is consumed. Furthermore, neutral pH water allows the Prodosome spheres to react properly within the saliva, stomach, and small intestine. Using neutral water to mix Prodovite Concentrate allows the body’s own pH’s to dictate the release of the nutrient payload from the spheres.
It should be remembered that Prodosome technology mimics cell membranes and biological fluid properties. In this manner, some of the nutrients will be absorbed through sublingual (under the tongue) passage, much of the nutrient payload will be protected in the acidic environment of the stomach, and then the balance of the enveloped nutrition will be released and absorbed through passive diffusion in the small intestine. The intact Prodosome spheres will even adhere to the wall of the small intestine for an extended period, owing to the naturally occurring “stickiness” of the phospholipid portion of the sphere, thereby creating a sustained-release effect.
The Prodovite Concentrate should never be mixed in alkaline water. These high pH waters, which go through processing methods to create the pH’s of 9 and above, can negatively affect the structure of the Prodosome sphere, or cause them to open too early. The higher alkalinity of this type of water, resembling the pH of the small intestine, can stimulate the spheres to begin opening and releasing the nutrients within the water in the glass. This defeats the whole purpose of encapsulating the nutrients in the first place.
Also, the high pH water may cause to some degree, a deconstruction of the phospholipid matrix. This could result in a reduction in the integrity of the Prodosome architecture, which of course reduces the efficiency of both delivery and bio-availability of nutrients in Prodovite. Moreover, introducing high pH water will force the body to counteract the high pH in panicked efforts to maintain the ideal pH of a particular tissue compartment.
This actually represents a type of ‘drug-like’ imposition on the tissues of the body to ‘force’ a more alkaline pH to overcome the unhealthy acidic properties.
However, what is actually happening is depicted in the following ‘over-simplistic’ but an accurate illustration. If water with a pH of 9.5 is introduced into the body and exerts an alkalizing effect on the blood, that should have a plasma pH of about 7.4, the body will have to respond to that high alkaline pH ‘push’ by buffering the 9.5 with a pH of 5.3 (via increased CO2 as one type of buffer) to keep the blood at 7.4. This type of chronic ‘yo-yo hi-lo’ volatility is very distressful to the body.
I take prescription medications. Can I still take VNI products?
You should always check with your healthcare professional. Unfortunately, most healthcare professionals don’t know about VNI products; especially regarding the proprietary exclusive absorption technology. This puts the healthcare professional at a disadvantage. So, ask your healthcare pro to review the published study (in the case of Prodovite). In the case of Brain Reward, go to PubMed and review the 32 published clinical studies on the KB220Z ingredient complex.
Also, he/she should watch the product webinars and review the product literature. It would be very informative and not a waste of their time. It would be especially great to have an informed healthcare professional support your use of evidence-based VNI products, and even begin to utilize them in their practice.
Why is Xylitol in the Prodovite?
Xylitol is an all-natural sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body. Xylitol has been researched for over 40 years, resulting in thousands of studies confirming its effectiveness and safety. The xylitol used in Prodovite is derived from birch and is certified non-GMO.
Xylitol has no apparent toxicity for humans and studies have demonstrated that fact even when participants had consumed a monthly average level of 1500 grams. By contrast, Prodovite taken once a day for 30 straight days will provide just over 60 grams or roughly 4% of the level shown as safe for monthly consumption. Also, a small study showed a side effect of loose bowels was only experienced in a fraction of children who were consuming upwards of 65 grams per day. Again, 1 dose of Prodovite only delivers about 2 grams.
Xylitol is largely undigested and so provides very little impact on blood sugar or insulin response. The glycemic index for xylitol is 7, while that of glucose is 100. From a health standpoint, xylitol helps to re-mineralize tooth enamel that helps to prevent cavities. It also inhibits the growth of strep and the ability of Haemophilus influenzae to attach to nasopharyngeal cells. Xylitol in the gum or nasal sprays may also help prevent acute ear infections in children.
While not efficient as a source of immediate energy, xylitol may be helpful for recovery from heavy exercise or work since it is converted into glucose 6-phosphate and then glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrates often depleted during strenuous activity.
Therefore, the inclusion of xylitol in Prodovite not only has no negative implications, but it also provides multiple health benefits.
I heard a report that xylitol was shown to be toxic to dogs. Since it is in Prodovite, is this a problem?
A single adult serving of Prodovite contains about 2 grams of xylitol along with a host of other highly beneficial nutrients and botanicals. The concern about xylitol in dogs is based on a highly promoted 2016 published case study that reported a 10.9 lb. neutered male Chihuahua ingested about 1/2 lb. (that’s 224 grams) of granulated xylitol (112 times the amount in Prodovite!). The dog suffered vomiting and developed hypoglycemia within 1-2 hours and elevated liver values, suggesting the development of acute liver failure within 12 hours and coagulopathy less than 24 hours after ingestion.
Treatment included maropitant, intravenous dextrose, phytonadione, metronidazole, and fresh frozen plasma. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) provided hepatic detoxification and support. The dog survived and liver values returned to normal within 1-month post-ingestion. No adverse effects on hepatic function have been identified 2 years after acute xylitol toxicity. [Schmid RD and Hovda LR. Acute Hepatic Failure in a Dog after Xylitol Ingestion. J Med Toxicol. 2016 Jun;12(2):201-5.]
What form of folic acid is used in Prodovite?
Prodovite and Prodovite Concentrate contain an organic 100% food-form of folate trademarked Orgen-FA® derived from lemon peel. Food-based folate is water-soluble and very stable in liquids at room temperatures, which is what is now in Prodovite. The methyl folate used in dietary supplements is a “manufactured” (i.e. ‘Synthesized’) vitamin…not from a food source. Usually, the folate is bound to a calcium salt.
Methylfolate is extremely unstable in liquids. No adverse effects have been associated with the consumption of excess folate from food. Concerns regarding safety are limited to synthetic folic acid intake. Prodovite and Prodovite concentrate provides the most body-friendly form of folate….from organic lemon peel.
I see the preservative Potassium sorbate in Prodovite. Isn’t it potentially unsafe?
Prodovite and Prodovite Concentrate contain the lowest amount of potassium sorbate necessary to ensure the long-term safety of Prodovite. Potassium sorbate is used to inhibit the production of yeast and mold. Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid, a naturally occurring polyunsaturated fat.
Its use in the food industry has had extensive, rigorous long-term testing, and consumption–even when taken in large quantities–and breaks down in the body as water and carbon dioxide. The Center for Science in the Public Interest confirms that sorbic acid and potassium sorbate additives in food (and herbal dietary supplements) are generally safe with regard to health, and have the lowest allergenic potential of all food preservatives. The toxicity of potassium sorbate is akin to that of table salt.
The side effects of potassium sorbate are the lowest of any preservative required in foods and herbal dietary supplements to keep them safe for consumption. If we tried to use some other preservative that didn’t work as well, we would have a potentially much greater problem with product liability issues, insurance, and/or consumer complaints.
What are the characteristics of a healing crisis, cleansing or detox reaction, or Herxheimer’s response? Can Prodovite cause this kind of response?
All these terms essentially mean the same thing. It’s the body’s response that happens when accumulated garbage in the tissues is purged out of the tissues and then is exposed to other ‘fragile’ tissues during the transit out of the body. This is what makes the body feel sick, even though the body is actually in the process of trying to heal itself. Prodovite can help restore the ability to use oxygen and water to make energy, manage that energy, and then have enough strength to eliminate the garbage. So, yes, this type of a reaction, which is not unusual, and can be temporarily uncomfortable, can happen after taking Prodovite. This may also occur when on fasting, on a strict new diet, or with other supplements as well.
