How vivaBALANCE
may improve your longevity

Testing is a key to understanding your unique health profile. 

Below you can discover how:

  1. Targeting key bacteria may improve metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and oxidative stress, slowing the aging process and promoting a longer and healthier life
  2. Personalised probiotics enhance the presence of longevity-associated bacteria
  3. Enhancing the gut microbiota's role in nutrient absorption, energy regulation, and maintaining a balanced immune response improves longevity.

How is ageing affecting your health?

Not sleeping well

Supplements to help end the tossing and turning, night after night by assisting you to relax and fall asleep.

Not sleeping well

Joint & muscle pain

Looking for supplements to help relieve pain, stiffness and other arthritic symptoms that will help you get on the track again.

Joint & muscle pain

Battling the sniffles

Supplements to help your respiratory health, such as having a running nose, which may stop you training or you are taking longer to recover.

Battling the sniffles

Bathroom concerns

Probiotics and essential nutrients may help those who suffer conditions which contribute to constipation, bloating and to much gas.

Trouble with the bathroom

Connection between your gut and longevity

Age-related alterations in the gut microbiome are influenced by personal factors, including progressive physiological deterioration, as well as by lifestyle-linked factors such as diet, medication and reduced social contact.  A healthy gut microbiome is essential for longevity, with specific bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila, Bifidobacterium dentium, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum being linked to extended lifespan. 

  1. Akkermansia muciniphila improves metabolic health and reduces inflammation, which are crucial for longevity 1, 2. 
  2. Bifidobacterium species promote gut health and anti-inflammatory responses
  3. Lactobacillus species help reduce oxidative stress, a major contributor to aging 3, 4. 

The gut microbiome's composition significantly influences longevity, underscoring the potential of microbiome modulation for healthier aging.

How could vivaBALANCE help?

Improve cognition

Cognitive Impairment

A well-balanced gut microbiota may help reduce inflammation, which is linked to neurodegenerative conditions. 

Maintaining a healthy gut microbiota can support optimal cognitive function, which is crucial for disease prevention in our fast-paced, Westernized society

Metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome

The amount of body fat goes up steadily after age 30. Older people may have almost one third more fat compared to when they were younger. Fat tissue builds up toward the centre of the body, including around the internal organs.

Loss of muscle mass & strength

Loss of muscle mass & strength

Progressive age-related reductions in muscle mass and strength occur in many and have a major impact to quality of life.

Protein and amino acid (particularly leucine) intake should be considered, as well as Vitamin D as it benefits muscle strength. Omega-3 may improve muscle mass and strength by mediating cell signaling and inflammation-related oxidative damage. Low-dose antioxidants (e.g. vitamins C and E) may protect muscle tissue from oxidative damage whilst Magnesium is involved with muscle contraction processes, and may benefit muscle strength.

What may vivaBALANCE include?

Testing your biology

When it comes to your longevity and ageing, vivaLAB tests may help identify:

  • Activities that increase inflammation.
  • Indicators of high oxidative stress.
  • Factors associated with metabolic weight gain.
  • Nutritional markers that correlate to hormonal changes associated with ageing
  • Markers associated with fatigue and tiredness.

Probiotics

Probiotics have been formulated specifically for the specific needs and demands of a longevity and ageing.

Essential nutrients

Magnesium
To promote restful sleep and brain health

Vitamin D
To promote muscle and bone strength. 

Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B9 
To promote brain health. (B12 is particularly recommended for vegans since it is primarily found in animal products)

Creatine
To maintain and build muscle mass and potentially improve cognitive performance.
