1. HOW DO I BEST USE/TAKE VIBE FOR HEALTH SUCCESS?
Using VIBE for health success is easy! 1. Commit to
approximately 6-8 weeks of using VIBE before adding other Eniva
Nutraceuticals - they may not be needed! 2. For General Health,
please Use 1-2 ounces of Vibe Daily-- for best results, divide the
total daily dose evenly between the am and pm hours (for example,
1/2 ounce in am and 1/2 ounce in pm) However, at the beginning, if
you have a sensitive stomach, it is highly recommended you start
with half of the full dose and increase as tolerated. Individuals
of smaller stature should consume 1 ounce daily. 3. Do not exceed 3
ounces daily. 4. As per FDA suggestion, consult your personal
health care professional before starting this or any nutritional
supplement. 5. After 6-8 weeks of using VIBE to build your
nutritional foundation, evaluate how you are feeling. If your
nutritional wellness goals are not achieved, continue using VIBE
and incorporate other Eniva Nutraceuticals according to the Health
Destination Guidelines.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. IS VIBE VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY? VEGAN?
No animal products or derivatives are found in the VIBE
Nutraceutical. As such, VIBE is appropriate for vegetarians. As
well, VIBE does not contain derivatives from fish and is
appropriate for vegans.
5. 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 daily.
6. CAN I MIX VIBE WITH OTHER ENIVA NUTRACEUTICALS? WATER?
Yes, VIBE can be mixed with other Eniva products. Vibe can be
mixed with water or your favorite juice, as well. 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-
sometimes when combining it with other nutritionals, this balance
may be disrupted. There are no "bad" ways to take Eniva
Nutraceuticals, only better ways.
7. 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.
8. 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 VIBE Junior. 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.
9. WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN TAKING VIBE?
HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?
SOON
10. HOW FAST IS VIBE ABSORBED INTO 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.
11. 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. 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, 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 "Investigative Studies" tab on the
EnivaQuality.Com website.
12. DOES VIBE NEED REFRIGERATION?
HOW SOON DOES IT NEED TO BE CONSUMED?
Because VIBE contains natural extracts, once VIBE is opened,
it is highly recommended that it be refrigerated. Once opened, it
is recommended that VIBE be consumed within 40 days to ensure
potency. VIBE does not need to be refrigerated if not opened-
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).
Results
13- Is there caffeine in VIBE?
No (as of Summer Introduction 2006)... 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. For
example, the amount of caffeine in one serving of VIBE is 700-1,000
times less than a decaffeinated cup of coffee. Previous to the
summer 2006 Introduction, VIBE contained less caffeine than a
decaffeinated cup of coffee.
14- 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.
15-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.
16- 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 this website.
17- What about VIBE, Vitamin C, Benzoic Acid & Benzene?
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. 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.
18- Are there artificial colors, flavors or dyes used in VIBE?
No. Eniva does not use any artificial colors, flavors or dyes
in VIBE.
19-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), is a chemical. 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.
20- 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, 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 "Investigative Studies" tab on this
website.
21-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.
22- How are the ingredients n 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.
23-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.
24-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.
