Description
In Depth
VIVI is a powerful immune-support formula featuring clinically effective doses of Lomatium dissectum (Leptotaenia) and pau d’arco, two botanicals with deep roots in North American and Brazilian herbal traditions. Lomatium dissectum gained prominence during the 1918 global flu pandemic, where its remarkable effectiveness in supporting immune function led to a Nobel Prize nomination for Dr. Ernst Krebs. Today, scientific studies continue to validate its broad-spectrum benefits, particularly for maintaining immune vigilance against microbial concerns, including those related to the virome and mycobiome.
Between 1948 and 1952, extensive research on Lomatium was conducted at institutions such as the University of Utah, the Ohio Department of Pediatrics, and UCLA. A pivotal 1951 thesis from the University of Southern California’s Department of Medical Microbiology demonstrated that an oil extracted from Lomatium was as effective as, or superior to, penicillin against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. These findings underscore Lomatium’s potential as a natural immune ally, supporting the body’s ability to respond to microbial challenges.
Complementing Lomatium, pau d’drco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) provides additional immune-supporting properties through its rich profile of bioactive compounds, including lapachol, quercetin, and flavonoids. Renowned for its antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory benefits, pau d’arco helps maintain microbial balance within the body’s microbiome. Together, these botanicals create a comprehensive immune support formula, making VIVI a vital addition to any wellness regimen—one designed to help maintain immune resilience in all seasons.
VIVI is available in three versions:
- VIVI capsules deliver raw herbal ingredients into the G.I. tract for both immediate uptake of ingredients plus microbiome rendering of post-biotic compounds.
- TVIVI tincture is the same formula in an alcohol-extract tincture.
- CXVIVI concentrated extract is the same formula in a liquid concentrate where a few drops constitute a dose.
Key Features
- Between 1948 and 1952, scientists conducted extensive research on Lomatium dissectum, an Indigenous American herb, with studies taking place at institutions such as the University of Utah, the Ohio Department of Pediatrics, and UCLA. A 1951 thesis submitted to the University of Southern California’s Department of Medical Microbiology demonstrated that an oil extracted from Lomatium dissectum was as effective as, or even superior to, penicillin against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Further research highlighted its powerful immune-supporting properties, particularly in addressing viral concerns. Today, Lomatium remains a top choice for clinicians seeking natural support for immune challenges, including Epstein-Barr virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human papillomavirus, human immunodeficiency virus, and herpes. It continues to show promise in promoting a strong immune response against virulent pathogens. Clinical Note: A rare but temporary side effect of Lomatium is a one-time rash that typically appears within one to three days of use and resolves within five days after stopping. Because of this, practitioners often start with a low dose and gradually increase it if no rash occurs within the first three days.
-Pau d’arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is a well-known botanical with powerful immune-supporting properties. Rich in active compounds such as lapachol, quercetin, and flavonoids, it has long been used as a natural expectorant, helping the lungs clear mucus and lodged contaminants. This remarkable hardwood tree, which remains fungus-free in the humid Brazilian rainforest, has been extensively studied for its antifungal properties, thanks to its high concentration of naphthoquinones, anthraquinones, coumarins, flavonoids, iridoids, and carnosol. Scientific research, including a Colombian review of Tabebuia species, has highlighted its potent effects against Candida albicans as well as harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Helicobacter pylori. Additional studies cite pau d’arco’s anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, and antitumor properties, making it a powerful ally in maintaining a balanced microbiome and supporting overall immune function. - Bitter almond oil, derived from the seeds of the Swietenia macrophylla tree—commonly known as kadwa badam, sky fruit, or sugar badam—has a long history of traditional use in Southeast Asia. Unlike sweet almonds, bitter almonds contain small amounts of naturally occurring benzaldehyde, glycoside amygdalin, and prussic acid, along with monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant compounds. Scientific studies highlight its ability to help regulate blood sugar levels while also exhibiting potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Relevant to VIVI, bitter almond oil has been shown to possess remarkable antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal, and antiviral effects, further supporting the body’s immune defenses against a wide range of pathogenic threats.
