New Study: LifeVantage P84 Positively Impacts Gut Health, Peptide Production

New in vitro research shows P84 influences key gut peptides – including one by more than 1,000% – supporting cellular pathways tied to regulation, repair, and restoration
LifeVantage® Corporation (Nasdaq:LFVN) , a leading health and wellness company with products designed to activate optimal health processes at the cellular level, recently announced new in vitro study results for its proprietary P84 formula revealing strong biological activity in cellular pathways linked to gut regulation, repair, and restoration.*
In the controlled, third-party study, targeted gene expression and protein concentration were measured using four gut cell types. Fourteen gut peptides and proteins known to regulate, repair, and restore the gut including CCK, NTS, EREG, GRP, OXM, CDH1, TFF3, Zonulin, CLDN1, OCLN, MUC2, GLP-2, VIP and SST were thoroughly examined.
All 14 peptides were influenced in the desired direction, with key results including: *†††

GRP (gastrin-releasing peptide responsible for sending alerts to fire up digestion): +1,087% increase*†††
TFF3 (trefoil factor 3 which manages gut lining repair): +116% increase*†††
VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide which helps to calm overactive areas of the gut): +100% increase*†††
OXM (oxyntomodulin which coordinates nutrient absorption): +77% increase*†††
CCK (cholecystokinin which ensures fats and proteins are properly processed): +69% increase*†††

“These findings demonstrate that our proprietary P84 blend has a remarkable

Amway Says We Aren’t Eating Enough Fruits And Vegetables

 
If you live in parts of Asia, you are more likely to eat the vegetables that bolster your heart health and strengthen your immunity — such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage — compared to Americans.
In the U.S., cruciferous veggies accounts for less than 6 percent of our diet, while in Japan or Korea, it’s closer to 30 percent.
But those living in the U.S. tend to lead the globe when it comes to consuming their citrus fruits, which account for about 30 percent of the produce in diets.
Leafy vegetables were 12 percent, which was the highest of any region studied.
These are some of the insights in a new global report on phytonutrients, bankrolled by Amway, which sells more Nutrilite brand vitamins and supplements than any other product category through its more than 3 million distributors.
The report is based on analyzing data from a World Health Organization survey, and U.S. Department of Agriculture databases.
The Nutrilite global phytonutrient research will appear in the September issue of theBritish Journal of Nutrition, an international, peer-reviewed journal of nutritional science.
The report, “Global assessment of select phytonutrient intakes by level of fruit and vegetable consumption,” is based on research commissioned by Amway’s Nutrilite Health Institute and is co-authored
