CORALVILLE, Iowa, May 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vivakor, Inc.'s (OTCBB:VIVK) management highlights VivaBlend as a bioactive nutraceutical supplement. Plant-based foods contain significant amounts of bioactive phytochemicals which provide desirable health benefits beyond basic nutrition to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, arthritis and cancer . Phytochemicals (or plant chemicals) are bioactive non-nutrient plant compounds in fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Research into the mode, bioavailability and function of these phytochemicals is an area of intense investigation by leading scientists and clinicians. Many phytochemicals have been linked to a reduction in the risk of major chronic diseases and aging. Vivakor has developed a proprietary blend of fruits, vegetables, legumes and other edible plants as the powerful balance of phytochemicals.
The powerful ingredients of VivaBlend have been shown through independent scientific investigation to be rich in critical phytochemicals and antioxidants. Dr. Tannin Fuja, CEO & Chief Scientist stated, "The broad spectrum of health benefits of the component ingredients of VivaBlend results from the carefully selected diversity in phytochemical-rich fruits, vegetables, legumes and spices blended together in VivaBlend. As demand continues to explode for scientifically sound products, rich phytochemicals and bioactive ingredients, we are pleased to offer VivaBlend as a premier source of balanced phytochemicals to this multi-billion dollar nutraceutical and supplement market."
