How do I best use/take VIBE for Health Success?

Can I take too much VIBE?

Although VIBE is an exceptionally safe nutraceutical dietary supplement and has been used safely and successfully by millions of individuals, one can take too much. VIBE is formulated to therapeutic grade quality and is NOT a juice. As such, it is recommended that individuals consume 1-2 ounces daily. Individuals should not exceed 3 ounces daily. If someone should consume more than the recommended dosage, most likely they will experience an upset stomach for a short period of time. If symptoms are more severe, the individual should contact their local healthcare professional.

Is VIBE FDA approved?

VIBE is classified as a dietary supplement. All dietary supplements are not approved or disapproved by the FDA. Rather, dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA. This regulation is not in the form of manufacturing requirements or in product quality, but rather, in product labeling guidelines and marketing language. There is actually very little regulation on the manufacturing side of dietary supplements.

The FDA does, however, get involved when there are reported problems with a dietary supplement, but only after the problem has been recognized in the public. Because of the overall lack of regulation, individuals need to partner with a trusted and reputable organization when choosing dietary supplements for the promotion of their health.

Many experts in the industry recommend individuals partner with Nutraceutical companies - organizations that manufacture their products to pharmaceutical standards. Eniva is a nutraceutical manufacturer.

Is VIBE vegetarian friendly, vegan?

No animal meat products are found in the VIBE Nutraceutical. As such, VIBE is appropriate for vegetarians. Also, VIBE does not contain derivatives from fish.

Will VIBE interfere with my medications?

Although VIBE most likely will NOT interfere with medications, as with all dietary supplements, it is recommended that individuals CONSULT their personal healthcare professional before starting VIBE, especially if they are on multiple medications.

Regarding blood thinning medications, VIBE does NOT contain Vitamin K (Vitamin K can interfere with blood thinning medications). It is recommended that individuals on multiple medications only consume 1 ounce of VIBE daily.

Can I mix VIBE with other Eniva nutraceuticals? Water?

Yes, VIBE can be mixed with other Eniva products. VIBE can also be mixed with water or your favorite juice. However, it is recommended for "best results" that, if at all possible (and time permitting), VIBE not be mixed in the same container in a "super shake" with other Eniva products or other substances.

The balance of nutrients in VIBE has been carefully selected and formulated, so when combining it with other nutritionals, this balance may be disrupted. There are no "bad" ways to take Eniva Nutraceuticals, only better ways.

What if I am allergic to an ingredient in VIBE?

If an individual is allergic to a substance in VIBE, it is recommended they do NOT consume VIBE. The individual may want to explore the use of other Eniva Nutraceutical products that do not contain the substance of allergy.

Can children take VIBE? Pregnant/Lactating women?

Although VIBE can be taken by children (please see bottle label for dosage), it is highly recommended that individuals give children Kid's VIBE. This Eniva nutraceutical has been specifically formulated for kids. It is recommended that if a woman is pregnant or lactating, she first check with her personal doctor before consuming VIBE.

How fast is VIBE absorbed into the body?

Because of VIBE's liquid state and the predigested quality of the nutrients found within VIBE, absorption into the body is rapid. Eniva Nutraceutics does not specify or endorse an “exact” time because individual bodies differ in metabolism. It is not recommended that individuals focus on the concept of an “exact time,” but rather that they focus on the end result of consumption - the promotion of health.

What tests are done on VIBE? Where can I see some research on VIBE?

Eniva conducts exhaustive internal testing to validate the safety and stability of its formulas and finished goods. Eniva also conducts additional studies regarding product attributes and efficacy. Every incoming raw material, in-process batch and outgoing finished product lots are tested. In addition, regular certified third party laboratory testing is also employed to ensure accuracy of internal tests. Eniva Nutraceutics has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in testing equipment and laboratories in order to test the quality of Eniva Nutraceutical products.

Some of these quality tests include, but are not limited to: heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, allergens, specific carrier substances, bacteria and yeast, and several others. Additional testing verifies the consistency and accuracy of product label claims. Eniva maintains exhaustive production documentation on all of its products manufactured, as well as original raw materials.

IN VITRO investigative studies and IN VIVO safety and efficacy trials have also been conducted on select Eniva nutraceuticals. Several of these tests and research reports can be found under the "Research & Investigative Studies" tab on this website.

Does VIBE need refrigeration? How soon does it need to be consumed?

Because VIBE contains natural extracts, it is highly recommended that VIBE be refrigerated after opening. Once opened, it is recommended that VIBE be consumed within 40 days to ensure potency. VIBE does not need to be refrigerated if unopened; however, it is recommended that VIBE be kept out of extreme heat (for example: locked in the car on a hot summer day in the sun).

Is there caffeine in VIBE?

No. VIBE contains green tea, a common source of caffeine. However, VIBE uses one of the world's highest therapeutic grade green tea extracts. One aspect that makes this ingredient in VIBE special is the fact that a proprietary water extraction method is used to remove both caffeine and theophyline.

As such, the amount of caffeine and theophylline in VIBE are essentially "zero" having been reduced to almost undetectable limits by very sophisticated laboratory machinery. The amount of caffeine in one serving of VIBE is LESS than 0.10 grams / serving; an exceptionally, exceptionally tiny amount.

Does VIBE contain gluten?

VIBE undergoes several laboratory tests. One of these tests is for Gluten. VIBE does NOT contain gluten. You can see a sample test result under the Investigations area of this website.

Does VIBE contain animal products? Is VIBE Vegetarian friendly?

No animal products or derivatives are found in the VIBE nutraceutical. As such, VIBE is appropriate for vegetarians. VIBE does contain one ingredient derived from fish and as such, may not be appropriate for strict vegans.

What type of water is used in VIBE?

The water used in VIBE is exceptionally pure. In fact, it meets pharmaceutical standards (USP 23). It goes through a multi-step purification process and tested daily. As well, the hexagonal water bonding patterns have been studied in Japan through the use of high-powered microscopy. You can see the resulting hexagonal bonding pattern photographs in our Investigational Studies portion of the website. Please see http://www.enivaquality.com/ for more information.

What about VIBE, Vitamin C, Benzoic Acid & Benzene?

NO BENZENE was detected in the VIBE Nutraceutical. Testing was performed at an independent certified laboratory. Again, NO BENZENE was detected in the VIBE Nutraceutical. This testing was done voluntarily by Eniva Nutraceutics.

The Eniva Corporation takes great pride and care in the formulation and manufacturing of its nutraceutical products. To do so, we subject our products and the product development process to serious review and rigorous testing. This letter is to help explain the results and rationale behind the testing of the Eniva Vibe Nutraceutical for benzene.

Benzene is one of the top 20 most-produced chemicals in the United States, used primarily in the production of plastics and chemical products. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), benzene is a carcinogen and can lead to health challenges if ingested in sufficient quantity or for chronic duration above safety limits set by the EPA (for the ingestion of benzene).

Relatively recent publications have indicated the very small possibility of benzene formation in liquid products containing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, commonly found in many fruits and berries) and benzoic acid (a natural preservative found in cranberries). Although expert opinion is unclear as to the exact mechanism or under which exact conditions this reaction may occur, it recommended that manufacturers test for this compound if their products contain Vitamin C and benzoic acid.

Expert opinion has been very clear to state that data at this point is relatively scattered and exact conclusions are hard to make.

In response to this recommendation, Eniva Nutraceutics tested its VIBE Nutraceutical for benzene since the product contains natural Vitamin C (in the form of ascorbic acid) and sodium benzoate, a natural sodium salt of benzoic acid.

Are there artificial colors, flavors or dyes used in VIBE?

No. Eniva does not use any artificial colors, flavors or dyes in VIBE.

Where do the ingredients in VIBE come from? Are they natural?

VIBE is a nutraceutical. This means it is a safe and natural dietary supplement with the pharmaceutical attributes of safety, quality and effectiveness. As such, the ingredients in VIBE are selected on potency and purity. Eniva does not use "artificial" ingredients in VIBE.

VIBE contains both naturally purified and naturally synthesized ingredients. For more info, please read on...The word "chemical" may communicate to some people images of pollutants, contaminants and carcinogens. Yet, everything we eat or drink (including water), are chemicals. In fact, everything in nature can be thought of as a chemical. Simply put, a chemical is a substance which contains specific properties. Natural chemicals are those which are found in Nature, including within the human body.

"Artificial" chemicals are those substances which are not found in nature or our bodies. "Synthesized" chemicals are those produced in a laboratory- and may be natural or artificial, depending upon the material it is put together from.

The minerals in VIBE are an example of naturally purified ingredients; mineral deposits from the earth have been purified to pharmaceutical grade by removing potential contaminants.

This is done in a laboratory (but the minerals came from the earth). In like fashion, the vitamins used in VIBE are natural (they are the same as those vitamins found in fruits and the human body). Several of the vitamins are "put together" from purified natural elemental ingredients from the earth in a laboratory to ensure their potency and quality.

The natural fruit and vegetable extracts found in VIBE come directly from the fruits and vegetables themselves and are not heat treated or pasteurized.

By combining natural fruit and vegetable extracts with select potent and purified vitamins and minerals, Eniva is able to recreate the natural “whole food matrix” found in several plant food sources.

Is VIBE tested for Heavy Metals and other contaminants?

Eniva conducts exhaustive internal testing to validate the safety and stability of its formulas and finished goods. Eniva also conducts additional studies regarding product attributes and efficacy. Every incoming raw material, in-process batch and outgoing finished product lots are tested.

As well, regular certified 3rd party laboratory testing is also employed to ensure accuracy of internal tests. Eniva Nutraceutics has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in testing equipment and laboratories just to test for the quality of the Eniva Nutraceutical products.

Some of these quality tests include, but are not limited to:

• heavy metals
• pesticides
• herbacides
• allergens
• specific carrier substances
• bacteria and yeast
• and several others

Additional testing verifies the consistency and accuracy of product label claims. Eniva maintains exhaustive production documentation on all of its products manufactured, as well as original raw materials.

IN VITRO investigative studies and IN VIVO safety and efficacy trials have also been conducted on select Eniva nutraceuticals. Several of these tests and research reports can be found under the "Investigative Studies" tab on this website.

Are the Ingredients in VIBE organic?

Although the Eniva VIBE Nutraceutical is not "certified" organic, Eniva requests organic materials from our raw material suppliers whenever possible.

How are the ingredients in VIBE selected?

Core to Eniva's Values is its commitment to producing only the safest and highest quality nutraceutical dietary supplements. A key factor in this endeavor is the critical step of raw material selection and sourcing.

Eniva uses a team of experts to source and select the safest and most effective nutritional raw materials. Exhaustive research and study, including published scientific findings, clinical studies, historical use analysis, and examination of ingredients' health benefits are evaluated.

All product ingredients selected are “pharmaceutical grade” – the same standards, quality and consistency as those found in pharmacy drugs. As well, appropriate documentation and independent testing results are required before use in any manufacturing process at Eniva.

Only those ingredients that pass Eniva's stringent standards for safety, quality and efficacy are used. Sources may be domestic or international, but suppliers are used only if they meet our strict vendor qualifications and pharmaceutical grade requirements. As well, because Eniva uses many natural extract ingredients, it is not uncommon for minor variations in color or taste to occur. For example, in a batch of VIBE, the flavor of the berries may vary depending on the seasonal climate, but the nutritional content as stated in the nutritional facts panel will always be consistent.

What preservatives are used in VIBE?

Eniva Nutraceutics uses only the safest preservatives in its products. All ingredients are recognized as safe by the USDA and FDA. Within Vibe are several natural preservatives. For example, Vitamin C, E and other antioxidants have both preservation and health benefits. Another preservative used is sodium benzoate. This is a natural preservative found within cranberries in the form of benzoic acid.

Anytime people eat a cranberry they are consuming this substance. Sodium benzoate is the natural sodium salt of benzoic acid and has a long history of use as a safe and very effective preservative. As well, Eniva uses citric acid, a natural substance found in many fruits, such as oranges.

Please know that Eniva does stability testing and does not use excessive amounts of preservatives, only the amounts needed. From a formulation standpoint, preservatives are an integral part of the nutraceutical as they are tied directly to safety.

What type of Vitamin A is in VIBE? Beta-carotene?

The Vitamin A in VIBE is the metabolically preferred form of Vitamin A, retinyl palmitate. It requires no conversion for the body to use it. As well, as long as consumed in recommended dosages, it is safe for all individuals. Beta-carotene is from the carotenoid family and is both an anti-oxidant and a precursor to Vitamin A.

Once ingested, the body converts beta-carotene (if able) to Vitamin A. Unfortunately, several research studies have raised significant concern over the consumption of beta-carotene by smokers. In fact, several research studies were stopped because the incidence of lung cancer development increased in smokers who were taking beta-carotene.

There apparently is some substance in the cigarette which causes an undesirable reaction between itself and beta-carotene, potentially increasing the likelihood of lung cancer development. Beta-carotene is a great source of vitamin A, but not in smokers. As VIBE is meant for all people, it does not contain beta-carotene and contains the directly active form of vitamin A.

Has VIBE been researched? Where can I see some of the tests?

Eniva conducts exhaustive internal testing to validate the safety and stability of its formulas and finished goods. Eniva also conducts additional studies regarding product attributes and efficacy.

Why is VIBE liquid?

Over the years, nutritional supplements in pill, tablet and chelate form have been the traditional choice for millions of people around the world. However, scientific study has led many individuals to rethink their supplement choices. The majority of traditional, classically designed dietary supplements in tablet and pill form have a documented history of poor absorption and use by the human body.

This has been due to inadequate formulation and consideration of the supplemental nutrient delivery system used. It's no secret that graphic evidence of this can be seen in wastewater treatment plants, outdoor portable bathrooms and even on X-ray. These forms of supplements are ineffectively used by the body- containing supplement designs with low quality raw materials, excessive fillers and binders, poor nutrient delivery systems and the common use of outer waxy coatings. In addition, the normal aging process, combined with preservative-laden foods, stress and environmental toxins can also compromise the body's ability to breakdown, absorb and use nutrients in even the best designed tablets and pills.

That is why many are turning to Eniva to find and use the leading liquid nutraceutical available- VIBE. WHY Liquid? Looking to nature, we see the ideal design for nutrient delivery systems: water. Water is the basis for all nutrient delivery systems for all forms of life. In plants, nutrients are consumed from the soil and found within the plant in a water-soluble and compatible state that can be used by both plants and people.

When we eat food, it is the body's job to liberate nutrients and further make them available for cellular use through specific body processes. No matter what we put into our bodies, the goal is always the same- to make it soluble with water.

How many days does it take to manufacture VIBE?

The proprietary manufacturing process for VIBE is exceptionally technical. As such, it takes 4 days to manufacture VIBE.

How quickly do the nutrients in VIBE enter the bloodstream and cells of the body?

Because of VIBE's liquid state and predigested quality of the nutrients found within VIBE, absorption into the body is rapid. Eniva Nutraceutics does not specify or endorse an “exact” time because individual bodies differ in metabolism. It is not recommended that individuals focus on the concept of an “exact time”, but rather, focus on the end result of consumption- the promotion of health.

Where is VIBE manufactured?
