What does VitaCell+ do?

VitaCell+ contains 7 potent flavonoids that deliver targeted brain support. It helps boost your natural energy levels, improve your mental clarity and mood, and protect your brain from inflammation. The seven flavonoids in VitaCell+ work together to support healthy, balanced cytokine activity in the body and brain. When cytokines are working optimally, they’re a crucial first line of defense against pathogens and invaders. And healthy cytokine function means healthy energy, clarity, and mobility throughout the whole body.

Blood thinners include warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), and aspirin, among others. Drugs that reduce stomach acid: Turmeric may interfere with the action of these drugs, increasing the production of stomach acid: Cimetidine (Tagamet), and Famotidine (Pepcid).

Is this product tested for purity? 

Yes, it's been formulated & manufactured in the USA in a cGMP/FDA compliant facility. We insist on, and only work with, manufacturers who follow strict processes and complete thorough testing to ensure our products are safe, high quality and made to the highest industry standards.

What are Flavonoids?

They're the powerhouse "miracle molecules" that help some of nature's hardiest plants survive in challenging conditions. When they're extracted carefully, and consumed in sufficient quantity, they're extremely effective at providing a balanced inflammatory response. What that means to you is more energy, greater clarity, and youthful flexibility and mobility.


About the Formula:

--CherryPure Tart Cherry Powder: The flavonoid in CherryPure can produce positive effects such as decreased abdominal fat, better sleep quality, improved cardiovascular health, and supremely enhanced mobility. 

Freeze-dried, 100% natural, and additive‐free, our CherryPURE® Tart Cherry (Prunus Cerasus) Powder is a natural source of antioxidants and nutrients. Our unique processing and drying methods maintain the highest levels of nutrients found in the fruit. Compared to competitive products, our CherryPURE® Tart Cherry Powder contains no added ingredients. Competitive powders may contain as much as 15% fillers, but Shoreline Fruit’s unique manufacturing process requires no processing aids normally used during drying, or any additives to prevent the powder from clumping. The result is a pure tart cherry powder that remains free-flowing without artificial ingredients—even in the most humid conditions. The powder is also non-GMO and gluten-free and meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pesticide residue allowances.

--Longvida Curcumin Extract: Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is a powerful immune-balancing flavonoid found in the turmeric root. It works by inhibiting excess cytokine production and obstructs the activity of enzymes that trigger inflammation. Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is 95% more bioavailable than regular curcumin. It also extends the flavonoid half-life in the bloodstream, so only 1 serving is needed for 24/hour protection.

Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is a breakthrough formula of the natural antioxidant curcumin, from the turmeric root. It is optimized to deliver free curcumin into target tissues through the critical bioavailability requirements of permeability, solubility, and stability. Developed in collaboration with elite neuroscientists at UCLA, Longvida® carries a strong safety profile and is self-GRAS.

Longvida® improves vascular endothelial function by increasing nitric oxide bioavailability through a reduction in oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling in middle-aged and older adults. According to the authors, these results support evidence that supplementation of Longvida® may be a promising therapeutic option to improve vascular health. Further, this clinical provides additional support for Longvida’s efficacious ability to promote healthy aging. 

-- Boswellia Serrata Extract: Boswellia Serrata is an herbal extract taken from the Boswellia Serrata tree. Resin made from Boswellia Tree extract has been a staple of Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. They’ve used it to improve mobility, energy, and flexibility, and also to improve bowel function. It's believed to treat chronic inflammatory illnesses as well as several other health conditions.

Boswellia Serrata Extract contains a unique natural compound called Boswellic Acid. Boswellic Acid has been shown to regulate cytokine production through pathways that other flavonoids are unable to regulate. As one of the most versatile flavonoids on earth, Boswellia has been proven to protect the neurons in your brain as you age, reduce unnatural anxiety, promote feelings of calmness and well-being, as well as having immune-balancing and energy-boosting effects. 

--EGCG Green Tea Extract: Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. 

EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) is the main polyphenol in green tea and is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer compound

The bioavailability of EGCG Green tea extract increases with the consumption of Quercetin and fish oil. Taking VitaCell+ with Omega-3 will increase the bioavailability and absorption of the green tea extract compound.

Taking probiotics prior to and during EGCG supplementation will prevent any mild gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to take VitaCell+ with FloraThrive to prevent any possible discomfort.

--Quercetin: Quercetin possesses anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic properties, and can be used as a powerful, all-natural antihistamine. When you combine Quercetin and Resveratrol, they are a potent combination of flavonoids that supports proper immune function, lower inflammation, boosts energy, fights allergies, restores clarity, improves endurance, and enhances mobility.

--Resveratrol: Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant compound in red wine extract, specifically found in red grape skin.

It is similar to curcumin, in that it is not very bioavailable. This issue is resolved when combined with Quercetin. Not only have studies found Quercetin to increase the bioavailability of Resveratrol, but it turns out that when consumed together these two flavonoids often lead to a significant decrease in fat deposits. 

In addition to regulating proper immune function, Resveratrol has also been proven to decrease the harmful effects of a high-calorie, high-fat diet, while maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. With more stable blood sugar, Resveratrol provides a stable supply of natural energy throughout the day, which also translates into a better mood, and fewer cravings. Resveratrol also helps to metabolize carbs and sugars more effectively, converting them into energy instead of stored fat. 

--Cocoa Seed Extract: Out of the top 1000 flavonoids, Cocoa contains the highest number of flavonoids per milligram.

The specific flavonoids found in cocoa, which are different than those found in curcumin, work by regulating the two most dangerous cytokines in your body – IL-1B and IL-10.

The beneficial effects of cocoa polyphenols on human health have direct links to cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer prevention 

-- Cocoa Seed Extract: Out of the top 1000 flavonoids, Cocoa contains the highest number of flavonoids per milligram. Their antioxidant properties may be responsible for many of their pharmacological effects, including the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the protection of LDL-cholesterol against oxidation, and increased resistance to oxidative stress.
