On April 28, 2010 I had the pleasure of presenting the results of a new study measuring the effects of combined supplementation of XanGo Juice plus Eleviv. The study was accepted for presentation as part of the American Society of Nutrition (ASN) program in Anaheim California, at the Experimental Biology Annual Scientific Conference (the largest gathering of life sciences researchers in the world).
You can view the scientific abstract below and the slides HERE.
The study was an evaluation of the effects of XanGo Juice/Eleviv on measures of C-Reactive Protein levels, Metabolic Balance, and Mood State. We supplemented subjects with 6 ounces of XanGo Juice plus 2 capsules of Eleviv (or a placebo juice/capsule regimen) everyday for 4 weeks. Compared to the placebo group, the subjects taking the supplements showed significant benefits in terms of reduced CRP levels (-59% CRP), improved Metabolic Balance (+421% ratio between “buildup” and “breakdown” hormones), and elevated Mood (-32% Tension and +27% Vigor).*
As a scientist who studies and educates about natural products, the most exciting part of the study was our finding that these products are truly “synergistic” with each other – meaning that each product helps the other to work better. We have already known for several years that XanGo Juice is effective in helping to lower CRP levels in the body.* It is important to balance these levels for optimal health – and XanGo Juice performs this function wonderfully. Likewise, we have also known for several years that the Eleviv formulation is effective at maintaining normal Metabolic Balance (the ratio of breakdown or “catabolic” hormones to buildup or “anabolic hormones) and improving Mood State (how we feel on a daily basis – especially the “physical/mental energy” that we measure as Vigor).*
By “synergy” I mean that these products are not simply “additive” or “complementary” to each other – but that they truly help each other to perform their own primary function in a superior manner (to a greater degree and in a shorter amount of time). For example, previous supplementation studies of “only” XanGo Juice have shown a significant and important reduction in CRP levels (up to 36% reduction in 8 weeks). But, this new study shows that by adding Eleviv to XanGo Juice, we can get a greater reduction in CRP levels (59% reduction) in a shorter period of time (4 weeks) – which is an example of true synergy (and which is so rare to see within the nutrition industry). We see the same synergistic benefits of adding XanGo Juice to Eleviv – where previous studies of Eleviv have shown significant improvements in Metabolic Balance (15-20% improvement) and Mood State (25-27% improvement in Tension and Vigor) over the course of 8-12 weeks – but when both products are used together, we see both Metabolic Balance (421%) and Mood State (27-32%) improved to a greater degree and in a shorter period of time (4 weeks).*
These new data are exciting for a number of reasons. First, they show us quite clearly that there is a range of positive “metabolic” effects from both products. Next, from a scientific perspective, these data support the concept that the combination of XanGo Juice plus Eleviv creates a “positive cascade” effect in the body whereby balancing CRP levels and stress hormone responses simultaneously has overlapping effects that extend and magnify the primary benefits of each product. Finally, from a consumer perspective, these results show us that people can derive meaningful health and well-being benefits quickly when both products are used together at recommended intake levels.

Thank you Dr Talbott for your many years of dedication to the formulation of this incredible product, Eleviv. Furthermore, your expertise, knowledge, and passion for health/nutrition is second to none. You truly walk the talk.
Dr. Talbot… I’ve been taking XanGo for some time and Eleviv too. I have a few compelling stories I can tell about the benefits of these two supplements. But in keeping my comments related to this study… I am taking 6 oz of XanGo a day to help fight chronic bronchitis… I’d been taking Eleviv at a dosage of 2 per day, one in the morning and one at night for several months. This seemed to help kick start my energy to some degree. Since I’m a large woman, I decided to take 2 Eleviv in the morning and 1 in the evening. After a few weeks of this (and not mentioning to anyone what I was doing) I started getting comments, including from my son and daughter-in-law about how much more energetic I seemed.
I’d noticed it… I went from walking 1.8 mi. to walking 3.42 mi. a few times a week… everything seemed easier… I, who had been an insomniac for years, began sleeping through the night… I started losing weight at 1 to 2 pounds a weeks (badly needed weight loss). As a result, my blood sugar started normalizing (type 2 diabetes).
At the XanGo conference when you presented these study results the light went off… I realized what was happening to me… all of this was a snowball effect of the nutrients working together.
I am truly grateful that you have chosen this vocation for your life’s work… truly grateful for you efforts in developing Eleviv and even still for introducing it to the world. May you be given back a hundred times what you have sacrificed to discipline yourself for all your years of study and dedication to your science.
