Why your antioxidant needs change after 35 — and why a Kiwi diet alone often isn’t enough
By your mid-30s, the natural antioxidant defences your cells rely on start to slow down. Daily exposures generate free radicals — and New Zealanders are exposed to some of the most intense UV in the world. The South Island summer UV index regularly hits 12–13 (extreme), and NIWA data shows peak NZ UV is roughly 40% stronger than at comparable latitudes in the northern hemisphere because of our cleaner air and the ozone hole. Add in traffic exhaust on the urban commute, processed food, alcohol, broken sleep, and the stress most Kiwis are carrying, and the oxidative load on your cells is substantial. Free radicals damage cellular components including DNA, and that damage compounds across the decades.
Vivix® was formulated to top up your antioxidant defences with a concentrated dose of polyphenols you would otherwise need to eat several kilograms of fruit and vegetables to get. The Ministry of Health recommends 5+ serves of vegetables and 2 of fruit daily, but fewer than 1 in 10 NZ adults consistently hit that target — and even when you do, the polyphenol density of supermarket produce can’t match a concentrated extract of muscadine grape, the most polyphenol-rich grape on earth. Think of Vivix as a daily insurance policy for your cellular defences: not a replacement for a real Kiwi diet of fresh produce, but a meaningful daily top-up that’s difficult to achieve through food alone, especially through a New Zealand winter when fresh produce variety drops.

How Vivix supports cellular health: the 4-step mechanism
Neutralises free radicals
Free radicals are unstable molecules formed inside your cells during normal metabolism and from external exposures (UV, traffic exhaust, processed food, alcohol, stress). Left unchecked they damage DNA, lipids and proteins. The polyphenols in Vivix donate electrons to neutralise free radicals before they cause damage. In laboratory studies, key Vivix ingredients have been shown to activate antioxidant defences and reduce DNA damage in treated cells versus untreated controls.
Slows AGE protein formation
Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) form when sugars react with proteins or lipids in your tissues. They accumulate with age and contribute to stiffening of cellular structures. In laboratory comparisons (Fisher et al. 2015), Vivix ingredients slowed AGE formation 13× more effectively than resveratrol alone — the synergy of the Rejuvetrol® Plus Blend doing what no single polyphenol does on its own.
Supports mitochondrial function
Mitochondria are the energy-producing structures inside every cell. As we age the number, density and function of mitochondria decline, contributing to lower energy and slower recovery. Key ingredients in Vivix have been shown in laboratory studies to support cellular energy production.
Blunts the inflammatory response to unhealthy meals
In a published clinical study (Ghanim et al. 2011, J Clin Endocrinol Metab), 10 healthy adults were given a high-fat, high-carbohydrate breakfast on two occasions one week apart — once with placebo, once with a single dose of Vivix 10 minutes before eating. Vivix significantly blunted the inflammatory and oxidative stress response after the meal.
Vivix® Liquid vs Liquid BioCell® LIFE: which one suits you?
Both target healthy ageing but through different mechanisms. A lot of Kiwi customers eventually take both. Here’s how to decide which to start with.
| Criterion | Vivix® Liquid | Liquid BioCell® LIFE |
|---|---|---|
| Primary mechanism | Cellular antioxidant defence — polyphenols neutralising free radicals | Joint & skin support — hydrolysed collagen + hyaluronic acid |
| Hero ingredient | Muscadine grape polyphenols (Rejuvetrol® Plus Blend) | Hydrolysed Type II collagen + chondroitin sulfate + hyaluronic acid (BioCell Collagen®) |
| Best for | Adults 35+ wanting a broad cellular antioxidant foundation | Adults noticing joint stiffness, dry skin or visible signs of ageing |
| Format | Liquid concentrate, 1 tsp daily, 30 servings | Liquid concentrate, ~30 mL daily, 30 servings |
| Member price (NZD) | $196.55 | |
| Choose if… | Your main concern is general cellular ageing, oxidative stress and antioxidant support | Your main concern is joint comfort, skin elasticity or both |
| Get yours | BUY VIVIX LIQUID → | BUY BIOCELL LIFE → |
What to expect: a realistic Vivix timeline
Vivix is a long-term cellular support product, not a stimulant. Don’t expect to ‘feel’ it the way you would caffeine or pre-workout. Here’s what New Zealand customers typically report.
Days 1–14
Most people notice nothing dramatic in the first fortnight — and that’s expected. Vivix is working at the cellular level, where changes accumulate gradually. Some users do report subtle improvements in energy or post-meal comfort in this window, but the absence of a noticeable effect is not a sign it isn’t working.
Weeks 3–8
Some users start to notice steadier afternoon energy, less of the ‘crash’ after heavy meals, and incremental improvements in skin appearance or recovery from exercise — useful if you tramp, run, surf, or otherwise push your body on weekends. These reports are anecdotal — the published clinical research on Vivix is about cellular markers (oxidative stress biomarkers, inflammatory response), not consumer-perceived outcomes.
Month 3 and beyond
This is where consistency pays. Shaklee’s long-term user research came from people taking Vivix and other Shaklee supplements consistently for years — not a 30-day experiment. If you’re thinking about Vivix as a quick fix, you’ll likely be disappointed. Think of it as a daily insurance policy that compounds over time.
Is Vivix® right for you?
✓ Yes if you…
- You’re 35+ and want a research-backed daily antioxidant foundation
- You eat reasonably well but know you don’t always hit 5+ veg and 2+ fruit every day
- You spend a lot of time outdoors in the harsh NZ sun (UV index 12+ is common), train hard, or live in a higher-pollution urban area like central Auckland or Wellington
- You’ve tried single-ingredient resveratrol and want something with broader polyphenol coverage
- You think in terms of long-term wellness, not quick fixes — consistency over months and years matters more to you than a 30-day ‘result’
✕ Skip if you…
- You’re under 18 — Vivix is for adults only
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding — talk to your GP or pharmacist first before starting any new dietary supplement
- You’re on blood-thinning medication (warfarin, dabigatran, etc) or have a clotting disorder — polyphenols can interact; talk to your prescriber first.
Three pro tips for getting the most from Vivix
Take it with your largest meal of the day
Polyphenols absorb best alongside dietary fats — so taking your teaspoon of Vivix with dinner (or whichever is your biggest meal) tends to maximise bioavailability. There’s also published evidence that Vivix can blunt the inflammatory response to high-fat/high-carb meals, so timing it with the meal most likely to spike inflammation — the takeaway, the Sunday roast, the post-tramp pub feed — is a smart move.
Refrigerate immediately and use within 30 days of opening
Polyphenols oxidise once exposed to air and warmth — the same chemistry that makes them protective in your body works against the bottle once opened. Put it in the fridge straight after the first pour, and aim to finish within a month for maximum potency. Don’t leave it on the kitchen bench overnight, particularly through an Auckland summer.
Stack it with Liquid BioCell Collagen for a Longevity compounded effect
Shaklee’s long-term user research came from people taking multiple Shaklee supplements, not Vivix in isolation. If you’re committed to the cellular-ageing angle, pairing Vivix with Liquid BioCell Collagen.
Vivix operates across six distinct cellular mechanisms, each backed by laboratory and/or clinical research. This is the most comprehensive polyphenol cellular-ageing science programme of any supplement on the market.
1. Protects against oxidative stress — neutralises free radicals*
Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals outpace antioxidants, damaging cells and driving the ageing process. The muscadine grape and polyphenol blend in Vivix have been proven to have potent antioxidant activity* — shown in laboratory studies to activate antioxidant defences and neutralise free radicals. One teaspoon of Vivix delivers the polyphenol equivalent of 100 glasses of red wine.
2. Blunts the inflammatory response*†
In a clinical study, Vivix was shown to significantly blunt the inflammatory response to a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal.* A crossover study of 10 healthy subjects: participants consumed a high-fat/high-carb breakfast. One visit used a placebo; the other used Vivix 10 minutes before eating. The high-fat meal caused a substantial increase in inflammation markers — significantly blunted when participants took Vivix.8
3. Protects DNA from damage*
DNA damage is a significant driver of ageing. Key ingredients in Vivix have been shown in laboratory studies to protect DNA from damage* — cells treated with Vivix ingredients showed significantly less DNA damage than untreated cells.
4. Doubles cellular energy production*
The mitochondria power every cell in your body. As we age, mitochondrial number, density, and function all decline. Key ingredients in Vivix have been shown in laboratory studies to increase mitochondrial density, improve mitochondrial function, and boost (double) cellular energy production.*
5. Reduces AGE protein formation — 13× more than resveratrol alone*
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in tissues with age and contribute to cellular ageing. Key ingredients in Vivix reduced AGE protein formation by 13 times more than resveratrol application alone.3
6. Slows telomere shortening*
In a published study, adults who took Vivix and other Shaklee supplements had a 57% lower rate of telomere shortening compared to a healthy control group.2 Telomeres are the protective caps on chromosomes — shorter telomeres are strongly correlated with accelerated ageing.

- 27 global patents — the Rejuvetrol® Plus Blend is the most patent-protected polyphenol complex in the wellness supplement market.
Where the ingredients come from — and what Shaklee does with the by-products
Muscadine pomace, not whole grapes
The muscadine grape extract is made from pomace — the skin, seed and pulp left over after juicing — rather than competing for whole fruit. This upcycles a stream that would otherwise be agricultural waste and concentrates the polyphenols that live mostly in the skin and seed. Sourced from a multi-generational farm in southern Georgia, USA.
Climate Neutral certified company-wide
Shaklee was the first company in the world to achieve Climate Neutral certification (in 2000) and still offsets 100% of its operational carbon emissions. Every bottle of Vivix you order is part of a carbon-neutral supply chain.
350+ quality tests per finished product
Every batch of Vivix is tested at multiple stages from raw material through to finished product, exceeding US Pharmacopeia standards. The polyphenol potency is verified batch-to-batch — what’s on the label is what’s in the bottle.
Beyond Organic standards on key ingredients
Shaklee’s ‘Beyond Organic’ standard tests for hundreds of potential contaminants and screens raw materials at a deeper level than the organic certification baseline. Many Shaklee products are also EWG verified.
Three Kiwis who get the most from Vivix — could one be you?
Real-world use cases drawn from common NZ customer profiles. These are illustrative, not testimonials.
The 45-year-old weekend tramper
Mid-career professional in Wellington or Christchurch. Hits the Great Walks two or three times a year, runs or cycles most weekends, but knows recovery is slower than at 30. Eats reasonably well but lives on coffee through the work week.
Why it fits: Vivix supports cellular recovery from oxidative stress generated by intense exercise and UV exposure on the trails — a useful daily foundation alongside protein and a multi.
The 55-year-old outdoors lifestyle ‘just want to keep doing this’
Auckland or Bay of Plenty. Spends weekends on the water, in the garden, or chasing grandkids. Starting to notice the body doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. Wants to keep doing what they love into their 70s.
Why it fits: The healthy-ageing positioning of Vivix is built for this customer — long-term cellular support for people who plan to keep living actively for decades.
The 38-year-old health-curious professional
Has read about resveratrol, polyphenols, telomeres, NMN. Looking for something with real published research rather than another supplement-aisle trend. Already takes a multi.
Why it fits: Vivix is one of the few products in this category with published clinical and laboratory data (Ghanim 2011, Fisher 2015) and 27 patents protecting the formula.
What to take with Vivix: the most useful Shaklee stacks
Shaklee’s long-term cellular-ageing data came from users taking multiple Shaklee products, not Vivix alone. These are the most common pairings.
Vivix + Life Shake
For: Daily nutritional foundation
Life Shake delivers 20 g of plant or whey protein plus 23 vitamins and minerals daily. Pairing Vivix (cellular antioxidant support) with Life Shake (broad daily nutrition) is the most common starting stack and the basis of much of the Shaklee long-term user research.
Vivix + BioCell + Peptide Wands
For: The ageless protocol
Longevity from the inside out.
Vivix + Liquid BioCell LIFE
For: Cellular ageing + joint/skin ageing
If you’re tackling both general cellular ageing AND visible signs (joint stiffness, skin elasticity), Vivix + Liquid BioCell LIFE covers both mechanisms. Many Kiwi customers eventually take both.
Side effects, interactions & who should talk to a GP first
Vivix has a strong safety profile when taken as directed, but polyphenols are bioactive compounds and can interact with some medications. The information below is general only — always tell your GP or pharmacist about any supplements you’re taking.
| Common, mild and infrequent | Some users report mild digestive upset in the first week (the concentrated polyphenols can be tannic on an empty stomach). Taking Vivix with a meal usually resolves this. The natural muscadine taste is intense — mixing with water, juice or your Life Shake helps. |
| Pregnancy & breastfeeding | Vivix is for adults only and is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. There is insufficient research on the use of concentrated polyphenol supplements during pregnancy or lactation. Talk to your GP or LMC before starting any new dietary supplement during this time. |
| Blood-thinning medication | Resveratrol and other polyphenols have mild antiplatelet effects in laboratory studies. If you’re on warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, aspirin, clopidogrel or any other blood-thinner, talk to your GP or pharmacist before starting Vivix. The same applies if you have a diagnosed clotting disorder. |
| Upcoming surgery | Standard practice is to discontinue all supplements (including polyphenol-based ones) at least 2 weeks before any scheduled surgery. Discuss with your surgeon. |
| Children & adolescents | Vivix is formulated for adults. Keep out of reach of children. There is no safety data for use in people under 18. |
| Drug interactions to flag with your pharmacist | If you’re on any medication metabolised by CYP3A4 (some statins, calcium-channel blockers, certain antidepressants and antifungals), mention Vivix to your pharmacist — polyphenols can theoretically interact with this pathway, although the clinical significance for dietary doses is generally low. |
This information is general only. Always read the label and follow directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your GP, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional.
