Why Us

Avivagen is fueled by results – the results of our science and trials, and those who tell us they are living their best lives now because of our supplements containing patented OxBC. Health matters

Avivagen has discovered the key.

Avivagen has unlocked β-carotene’s additional benefits by looking further into β-carotene’s natural tendency to oxidize in air. In air, beta-carotene combines with oxygen to form copolymers that partially break down into many small molecule compounds with various flavors and aromas. The result is a naturally formed product that provides health benefits, for example, immune function support. This is especially good news for farmers who can now include OxC-beta Livestock in their feed to optimize the health of their animals without the use of in-feed antibiotics.

Our History

We have a really good story to tell.
It’s kind of a detective story.
Here’s how it goes.

Chapter One

Epidemiological studies show that eating fruits and vegetables protect us against diseases like cancer and heart disease – especially eating foods with beta carotene.

What’s the clue?

Although beta carotene is a source of vitamin A, the levels of the vitamin are tightly controlled in the body and we cannot explain the results. But what if beta carotene has an effect apart from being a source of vitamin A? From here, we wondered if beta carotene functions as an antioxidant.

Chapter Two

Human clinical intervention trials testing high doses of supplemental beta carotene show significant increases in cancer incidence and mortality in heavy smokers and people exposed to asbestos. Many studies get underway to try and explain the negative outcome of the trials.

What’s the clue?

Although beta carotene is a source of vitamin A, the levels of the vitamin are tightly controlled in the body and we cannot explain the results. But what if beta carotene has an effect apart from being a source of vitamin A? From here, we wondered if beta carotene functions as an antioxidant.

Chapter Three

Our team confirms that when beta carotene is oxidized, it has properties consistent with helping prevent cancer (cite US patent). The transformation of beta carotene by oxidation provides the actual active agents to support the immune function.

What’s the clue?

Avivagen first saw these results in dogs and livestock. Now we know that the non-vitamin A effects of beta carotene originates in its oxidation products.

Chapter Four​

Avivagen confirms that beta carotene oxidation products occur naturally, often in significant quantities. For example, in plant food products, and humans have safely ingested dietary beta carotene oxidation products over countless years. Studies confirm it is safe.

The Final Chapter and Next Edition

Avivagen is the first company to develop a supplement that conveniently provides the benefits of beta carotene and vitamin A, yet does not contain either. This product is now improving overall health in livestock, pets and humans. And the next chapter? More products that help all of us live our best life.

Meet the team behind the story.
