VIBE breakthrough
18 August 2008
Exciting discovery how VIBE can enhance human health.
Chief Scientific Officer for Eniva Corporation,
The research design consisted of culturing human cells with and without the VIBE nutraceutical and then exposing these human cells to a well known DNA mutagen–ultraviolet radiation.
After a period of time, the human skin cells were
The exact laboratory technique used was the Comet assay, otherwise known as Single-Cell Gel Electrophoresis (SCGE), which is a very sensitive and well known peer accepted laboratory method for assessing damage to
cellular DNA. The COMET assay is widely
used to assess DNA damage in cancer research,
environmental toxicology and radiation biology.
After mutagen exposure, cells are embedded
in agarose gel on a microscope slide, lysed,
electrophoresed, and then stained with fluorescent
DNA binding dye. Damaged DNA migrates
during the process, forming a shape often
described as a “comet.” The specific pattern is
then automatically quantified through laser
assisted computer analysis. Through specific
algorithms, DNA damage can then be quantified
and trends evaluated.
These results are part of an intensive initiative
by the Eniva Corporation to further explore the
mechanism of action behind their nutraceutical
products. Chairman of Eniva Corporation,
Andrew Baechler, commented, “This result
further identifies and separates Eniva as a leader
in providing science-based dietary solutions.
We are very enthusiastic about the findings and are
very grateful to the Linus Pauling Institute.”
Eniva Corporation is a manufacturer and global
marketer of high quality, science-based dietary
supplements known as nutraceuticals. It carries a
product line of over 75 wellness products, ranging
from cardiovascular to general health and
wellness. The corporation recently celebrated its
tenth year anniversary at its world headquarters
in Anoka, Minnesota.
