Immunity

Strengthen immunity through better gut health with VITAGEN

Around 70% of your immune cells live in your gut. VITAGEN is clinically proven to support a healthier gut environment, reduce inflammation, and help your immune system work more effectively.

Mood & Stress

VITAGEN improves your mood via the gut-brain axis

Around 95% of serotonin, the happy hormone also known as the neurotransmitter responsible for mood and emotional balance, is produced in the gut. Through the gut-brain axis, your digestive system and brain are constantly communicating, which means better gut health can lead to better mental resilience. Our research confirms VITAGEN improves mood by balancing the gut's microbiome, with participants showing a 47% increase in serotonin levels.

The above findings are based on two separate clinical studies involving VITAGEN.

  • The first study, conducted in 2017 by the Gastroenterology & Hepatology Unit at Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, involved 165 healthy adults and IBS patients from the Klang Valley. Results were based on the consumption of three bottles of VITAGEN daily.
  • The second study, conducted in 2024 by the GUT Research Group at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (HUKM), investigated the effects of Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk on mood among IBS patients with sub-threshold depression. Participants consumed two bottles of VITAGEN daily over a 12-week period.
