In the quest for optimal health, it's crucial to know that the supplements you choose are both safe and effective. At Northern Wellness, we're proud to offer Youngevity® products in Canada—formulations backed by scientific research. Today, we're excited to share insights from studies conducted by the prestigious Clemson University Institute of Nutraceutical Research, which evaluated two of Youngevity's flagship products: Beyond Tangy Tangerine® and Ultimate Classic®.

 

Why Scientific Research Matters in Nutritional Supplements

The supplement industry is vast, and not all products are created equal. Scientific research provides empirical evidence that helps differentiate high-quality supplements from the rest. Studies like those conducted by Clemson University offer valuable insights into a product's safety and potential health benefits, ensuring that consumers make informed choices.

 

About the Clemson University Institute of Nutraceutical Research

Clemson University is renowned for its rigorous scientific studies and contributions to nutritional science. Their Institute of Nutraceutical Research focuses on evaluating the quality and efficacy of nutraceutical products, aiming to develop greater confidence in product quality and effectiveness.

 

Key Findings from the Studies

1. Safety First: No Genotoxicity Detected

  • What Was Tested? Researchers examined whether Beyond Tangy Tangerine® and Ultimate Classic® caused any genetic damage or mutations in cells.

  • Results: Both products showed no genotoxicity, meaning they did not cause harm to cellular DNA. They also demonstrated anti-genotoxicity and anti-mutagenicity properties, suggesting they may protect against genetic damage.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

  • What Was Tested? The impact of the products on inflammation was assessed using healthy human cell lines.

  • Results: Neither product induced an inflammatory response, even at varying dosage levels. In fact, they exhibited inflammation protective properties, enhancing the body's natural defenses against potential inflammation.

3. Effects on Abnormal Cell Proliferation

  • What Was Tested? The ability of the products to inhibit the growth of abnormal (cancerous) cells without harming healthy cells.

  • Results: Both products effectively inhibited the proliferation of several types of cancerous cells:

    • Ultimate Classic®:

      • Killed 95% of colon cancer cells

      • Killed 65% of liver and stomach cancer cells

      • Killed 30% of breast cancer cells

    • Beyond Tangy Tangerine®:

      • Killed 60% of colon cancer cells

      • Killed 65% of liver and stomach cancer cells

      • Killed 30% of breast cancer cells

  • Important Note: These results were observed in in vitro (test tube) studies. While promising, further research, including clinical trials, is needed to confirm these effects in humans.

 

Understanding the Research Context

It's essential to recognize that the Clemson University studies were preliminary and conducted in controlled laboratory settings. In vitro studies are a critical first step in scientific research but do not always replicate the complex interactions within the human body. Therefore, while these findings are encouraging, they should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of the products' effects on human health without further clinical trials.

 

The Youngevity® Commitment to Quality

Youngevity® has always prioritized the safety and efficacy of its products. By sponsoring these studies, the company demonstrates its dedication to transparency and scientific validation. The positive results reinforce Youngevity's confidence in their formulations and manufacturing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the significance of the Clemson University studies on Youngevity® products?

A: The studies provide preliminary scientific insights into the safety and potential health benefits of Beyond Tangy Tangerine® and Ultimate Classic®. They highlight the products' lack of genotoxicity, anti-inflammatory properties, and effects on abnormal cell proliferation in in vitro settings.

Q2: Can these products cure or prevent diseases like cancer?

A: The findings are based on in vitro studies, which are early-stage research conducted outside of a living organism. While the results are promising, they do not confirm that the products can cure or prevent diseases in humans. More extensive clinical trials are necessary to determine their effects on human health.

Q3: Are Youngevity® products safe to use daily?

A: According to the studies, both products showed no genotoxicity and did not induce inflammatory responses in cell lines. However, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
