One of the world’s leading experts in cellular research considers this to be one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the 21st century and defined this as “Membrane Lipid Replacement” (MLR).

Vibrant & Clear Phospholipid Wafers are a proprietary blend of phospholipids and glycolipids whose mechanism of action is to replace the lipids in cellular membranes therefore increasing cell membrane fluidity. By enhancing the membranes of the mitochondria (the energy furnaces within our cells), allows all cells to increase their nutrient uptake so that the mitochondria may produce more ATP — the body’s energy fuel.

Mitochondria are the primary energy producers in the body. Mitochondria are the energy furnaces of each cell, with the typical cell possessing an average of 1,000 mitochondria. Given that there are 10 to the 13th power cells in a healthy adult, healthy and productive mitochondria are critical to maintain the body’s energy and resilience.

Recent studies have shown the importance to maintaining healthy MTDNA, the DNA which resides inside the mitochondria. Unlike standard DNA which has histones and introns to protect it from free radical damage, the mitochondrial DNA does not have this protective mechanism so it is much more exposed and more susceptible to oxidative damage (ROS or reactive oxidative stress). Since mitochondrial cell division takes place approximately every five to six days and replicates the damage existing in the old cells, the damaged MTDNA spreads rapidly. This is what eventually depletes the patient’s energy level and may lead to abnormal cellular formation.

Anti-oxidants can be effective at neutralizing free radicals that damage membranes. However, when damage is already done, then traditional antioxidants have little ability to repair that damage. Now, the lipids available in Vibrant & Clear Wafers, can replace the damaged phospholipids in membranes with vibrant healthy phospholipids. These lipids enhance the cells mitochondria which allows the cells to process nutrients more effectively.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS

Vibrant & Clear Phospholipids are an essential component to any nutritional supplement protocol or daily regimen. Proper nutrient processes are important in supporting a healthy, functioning system.

Vibrant & Clear Phospholipids are non-GMO and the raw materials used are verified with PCR testing.

The PATENTED NT Factor Compound found in Vibrant & Clear contains fractionated lecithin's that include but are not limited to:
  • Phosphatidylcholine (PC)
  • Phosphatidylinositol (PI)
  • Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)
  • Phosphatadic Acid (PA)
  • Digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG)
  • Phosphatidylglycerol (PG)
  • Lyso-Phosphatidylcholine (PC) 
  • Lyso-Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)
  • Phosphatidylserine (PS) 
  • Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG)
  • Lyso-Phosphatidylglycerol (PG)

This product goes well beyond the typical powder phospholipid product. Our formulators carefully selected the matrix of phospholipids required to promote healthy mitochondrial membrane function, employing a proprietary method to stabilize the lipids to maintain efficacy.
Vibrant & Clear Phospholipid Wafers, through the process of Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) and is intended to reverse the damage done to our cells and mitochondria by oxidative stress.

MLR is the process by which healthy phospholipids in the supplement are absorbed in the gastrointestinal system and transported through the body to replace damaged lipids in the membranes of cells and mitochondria. The Vibrant & Clear Phospholipid Wafers are a unique combination that allows the healthy phospholipids to stay intact during transport through the body; probiotics create a stable environment in the gut that allow the healthy lipids to travel through and get absorbed in the digestive tract without being degraded, growth media enhances the colonization of probiotics and antioxidants neutralize free radicals in the body before they can attack and degrade the healthy lipids.

Phospholipids (pronounced fos-fo-lipids) are prime building blocks of life. They are found in humans, all animals, plants, and the simplest life forms. Phospholipids are essential components of all biological membranes and are required for normal cellular structure and function. Some phospholipids are most likely conditional essential nutrients: for their in vivo synthesis multiple enzymes and cofactors are required. 

Dietary phospholipid intake has declined in the past 100 years, mainly due to increased food refining and processing. Today's foods contain approximately one third of the phospholipid levels compared to the beginning of the last century.

Phospholipids are orthomolecules—“molecules orthodox to the body”, as defined by the late Nobel biochemist Linus Pauling. Phospholipids have a unique molecular organization that probably rendered them integral to life. Phospholipid mixtures were among the first health foods, and more sophisticated preparations have emerged as versatile nutraceuticals and functional food constituents.

The phospholipid molecule is charged at one end and uncharged at the other. This endows phospholipids with emulsifying, wetting, and self- assembly properties, all of which are successfully employed in the human body design.  Self-assembly generates the membranes which all cells require for their essential functions. These three-dimensional, sheet-like molecular assemblies consist mostly of catalytic proteins built into a continuous matrix assembled from phospholipids.

The human body uses phospholipids as emulsifiers (in the bile digestive fluid) and as surface-active wetting agents (in the lungs, intestines, and kidneys for example). Phospholipids are also used to assemble the circulating lipoproteins (LDL and HDL) that transport fat-soluble nutrients around the body.

Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR)
Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) is the process of supplying the body with pristine phospholipids that are protected during ingestion to be used by the mitochondria.

Using a dietary supplement containing polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholines, phospholipids and fatty acids that are essential structural and functional components of all biological cell membranes is a convenient way to administer lipid replacement therapy on a daily basis.

Healthy Cells: Phospholipids vs Antioxidants  

Inside every cell of your body, electrical charges are constantly occurring. These charges are important to facilitate the transport of vital nutrients and wastes in and out of the cell. This process is what gives the cell energy, life, and health. When membranes become damaged due to free radical damage, these charges no longer operate at peak levels. As we age the ability to repair such damage is diminished. Even if you're young the loss of energy can still happen.

All bio-membranes are composed of a varying ratio of proteins and phospholipids. It is the phospholipids that are damaged and change over time due to free-radical attack & oxidization. Anti-oxidants work to try to slow down this activity by neutralizing free radicals that damage membranes. However, when damage is already done, then traditional antioxidants have little ability to repair that damage. Now, the lipids available in Vibrant & Clear Wafers, can replace the damaged phospholipids in membranes with vibrant healthy phospholipids.

BENEFITS

Through the process of enhancing the cells mitochondrial function and allowing the cells to process nutrients more effectively there are numerous other benefits yielded highlighted on this page.

Fatigue and Energy

It turns out that fatigue and aging are both linked to the “powerhouse” of our bodies, the mitochondria – the part of our cells where the air we breathe, and the food we eat are converted into energy. When the mitochondria convert molecules and nutrients into energy, the mitochondria themselves slowly break down, and aren’t repaired. This, in turn, is why we experience tiredness and wear and tear - which is evident in an aging body.

Fatigue is related to the metabolic energy available to an individual and ultimately to the many cells that perform their myriad of functions. The integrity of cell and intracellular membrane structures, especially in the mitochondria, is critical to cell function and energy production [2-3]. V&C Wafers provide cells and mitochondria with the glycophospholipids, other essential lipids and phytonutrients to enhance and replace membrane components needed for maintenance of cell and mitochondrial function. They are also necessary in the production of cellular energy to combat fatigue. Mitochondria are the most important source of cellular energy in our bodies. If their function is impaired, energy available to cells is limited to the Krebs Cycle. There are a number of conditions and substances that can impair mitochondrial function [4-5], but oxidative damage of mitochondrial lipids in membranes are the most counterproductive for healthy cell function. This may result in modification of the electrical potential barrier across the mitochondrial membrane that is essential in the electron transport chain generation of cellular energy molecules.

Study results using Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) with these lipids.

Using the Piper Fatigue instrument overall fatigue among participants was reduced within the 3-hour seminar by a mean of 39.6% (p<0.0001). All of the subcategories of fatigue showed significant reductions. Some subjects responded within 15 minutes, and the majority responded within one hour with increased energy and activity and perceived improvements in cognitive function, mental clarity and focus. There were no adverse events from the lipids during the study.

A step beyond anti-oxidants.

 All bio-membranes are composed of a varying ratio of proteins and phospholipids. It is the phospholipids that are damaged and change over time (due to free-radical attack & oxidization). Anti-oxidants work to slow down this activity by neutralizing free radicals that damage membranes. However, if damage was already done, then traditional anti-oxidants have little ability to repair that damage. Now, with Vibrant & Clear Wafers, damaged phospholipids in membranes can simply be replaced by vibrant healthy phospholipids. This effectively returns the elasticity of the membranes, all leading to a vibrant and healthy energy.

Healthy Aging

Clinical trials and pre-clinical experiments, all published in peer reviewed medical journals, have shown the ability to stop and reverse membrane damage. In a study with an advanced-age sample group (average age 70 years), measured by mitochondrial function, using Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) for the first time as an all-natural functional food, they were able to restore membrane activity to levels normal for young healthy adults in just 8 weeks.

Brain Health / Cognition

Because the brain uses 20% of the oxygen we take in, phospholipids in the brain are more susceptible to oxidative damage that occurs over time and need to be replaced.

Research has shown that as we age, the amount of phosphatidylserine (PS) in our brain cells begins to decline. While PS is found in dietary sources such as dairy products and organ meats, intake of such products generally decrease as we age. Supplementing dietary intake of PS helps to restore levels of PS in our brain cells. Specifically, PS has been shown to improve memory retention and support mental concentration. Furthermore, PS is the only cognitive health ingredient for which the FDA allows a qualified health claim.*

Many clinical trials conducted on senior citizens show that phosphatidylserine can boost memory and increase recall and improve the learning of new information as well as elevate mood. The news has been published in some of the most prestigious medical journals in the world, with articles and research on PS appearing in journals like Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Journal of Neurology, European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Neurobiology of Aging, Clinical Trials Journal and prestigious Journal of Pharmacological Research.

Blood Sugar

Homocysteine & Fasting Insulin Levels

High blood sugar and oxidative damage are cyclical. High blood sugar levels can cause oxidative cellular damage and oxidative damaged cells cannot process glucose as well. NT Factor phospholipids found in our Wafers are now shown to lower fasting insulin levels. (See Study) This may be because many studies show Vibrant & Clear phospholipids replace the lipids in the damaged cells mitochondria thus creating an environment where the body can process glucose as well as other nutrients as it was meant to. Stopping the cycle of glucose caused oxidative damage.

Performance

Athletic

Vibrant & Clear Phospholipids can assist athletes in 5 distinct ways:

1) Increased Natural Energy    
2) Increased Alertness  
3) Shorter Recovery Times
4) Better Use of Nutrients   
5) Reduced Mental Stress

Work and Studying

Phospholipids are especially crucial to the health of both cell membranes and neurotransmitters. Phospholipids replace membrane lipids, and provide a healthy charge to the cell. A phospholipid is itself a conduit for electricity providing the restoration of membrane potential. That is energy! Phospholipids are also important for optimal brain health. They are found in the membranes of brain cells, which helps them communicate and influence receptor function.

For students and working professionals, the reason these phospholipids can be a better choice for performance is threefold. While supplying a natural energy boost and increasing mental clarity, they also avoid the negative effects of caffeine found in coffee and energy drinks.

RESEARCH

Using the process of Membrane Lipid Replacement (MLR) the Vibrant & Clear Wafer formula is intended to reverse the damage done to our cells and mitochondria by oxidative stress. Pivotal studies have been conducted at UCLA, Henry Ford Hospital, The Institute for Molecular Medicine and others.

Commercial phospholipids were first prepared in Germany in the 1920s, and quickly became one of the earliest “health foods”. Chemically, the term “phospholipid” relates to the fact that these molecules contain phosphorus. Hundreds of different phospholipids exist, but currently the nutraceutical phospholipids all come from one class: the glycerophospholipids. The Vibrant & Clear Wafer formula is a unique combination that allows the healthy phospholipids to stay intact during transport through the body.

Future

Besides the positive effects of phospholipids for cognition and energy shown on this website there is clinical and anecdotal evidence supporting health benefits of phospholipid supplementation which may have a much broader application. There is strong evidence that phospholipid supplementation may have a positive effect on SAD, Alzheimer’s, senile dementia, ADHD, fibromyalgia, sarcoidosis, arthritis, neuropathy, wound healing and other chronic debilitating factors although only limited clinical trials have been conducted. As an added bonus, phosphatidylcholine has been shown to help with the intestinal absorption of supplemental carotenoids.

Positive clinical studies on the phospholipids found in Vibrant & Clear Wafers are listed below. They are categorized by function. To read each study a link will open a new window in your browser and link you to the publishing website. These links will forward to US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, Cambridge Journals, Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition and several others. Although there have been many positive studies done on Bovine Cortex PS we have excluded them from the list. We do not use Bovine Cortex PS in our wafers because of concerns due to Mad Cow disease.

INTERVIEW

Dr. Garth Nicolson, a leading authority on Cellular Medicine and author of over 600 medical and scientific publications. Dr. Nicolson answers some questions regarding NT Factor Lipids®, which is the main ingredient found in Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers™. Dr. Nicolson is the President and Founder of The Institute for Molecular Medicine in Huntington Beach, California. He has participated in many studies involving NT Factor Lipids.

Q1: The product is called Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers. How much energy will I feel?
A1: Studies on patients with moderate to severe chronic fatigue and people with some fatigue we found a range of positive responses to NT Factor Lipids, the active ingredient in Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers.  What is clear from our published clinical research is that the more fatigued you are, the better your response will be to NT Factor Lipids.  Most people can expect a 25-45% (Average above 35%) reduction in fatigue accompanied by improvements in energy and ability to complete physical tasks.  Statistical analyses of these data indicate that these differences are highly significant.  People taking Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers will also see improvements in mood, ability to concentrate, short-term memory and cognition.

Q2: The directions say take as needed. How many do you recommend taking for good health and increased energy? Are there dangers in taking too many?

A2: Two wafers per day is a standard daily dose of NT Factor Lipids, but under severe physical stress more can be taken as needed.  There is no upper limit to how many can be taken per day. Safety studies have shown no adverse reactions with very high doses, and the active ingredients are “generally considered safe” by the FDA.

Q3: Other than energy, what are the benefits of the product?
A3: As mentioned above, people who take NT Factor Lipids can generally expect to see improvements in fatigue, energy, mood, mental alertness, and short-term memory. If taken daily (2 wafers or more per day) over the long-term, they will also see some improvements in sensory systems (hearing, vision, etc.), although these improvements have not been carefully examined in long-term clinical trials.

Q4: How does it boost mental alertness?
A4: Our nervous system is very dependent on the functioning of the little batteries in our cells, called mitochondria, which produce the high-energy molecules needed for cell function. Nerve cells are particularly dependent on mitochondrial energy, and NT Factor Lipids provides replacement molecules that repair mitochondrial function and restore it to normal levels so that these high-energy molecules can be produced at the highest possible rate when needed.  By doing so, it helps all of the various functions associated with brain and sensory activity.

Q5: What are NT Factor Lipids?
A5: NT Factor Lipids are the same membrane phospholipids used to build and repair the membrane systems in all of your cells.  Each of our cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, and critical parts of our cells, such as our energy generating system, the mitochondria, have two membranes that surround them.  These membranes are made up of phospholipids that are susceptible to damage over time, especially during physical stress and as we age, and these damaged membrane phospholipids must be replaced to maintain function and production of high-energy molecules necessary for most cellular processes.

Q6: Do I need to take a break from using Energy Wafers after a certain amount of time?
A6: No, there are no known adverse effects associated with long-term use of NT Factor Lipids, the active ingredient in Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers.

Q7: Is there any proof of health benefits from Energy Wafers?
A7: There have been a number of clinical trials that have proven the effectiveness and safety of the active ingredient in Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers.

Q8: Who will benefit most from taking Energy Wafers?
A8: Any person can benefit from Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers, from children to the elderly.  We have tested the ingredients in children with chronic childhood diseases (such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, chronic infections, etc.), teens and adults with fatigue problems and in people who are just fatigued from the stresses of ordinary living or who are fatigued due to extreme physical stress.  In our clinical studies, the people that benefited the most were the ones with the greatest loss of energy and highest fatigue scores. 

Q9: How will this affect someone who works out?
A9: We are just beginning to test the effectiveness of the active ingredients (NT Factor Lipids) in Vibrant & Clear Energy Wafers on athletic performance. Preliminary results indicate that performance can be improved and exercise-induced fatigue reduced with daily use. 

Q10: Is the wafer habit forming?
A10: Absolutely not! NT Factor Lipids is made up of completely natural phospholipids ingredients that are already in your cell membranes.  There are no stimulants, herbs, sugar, or drugs in NT Factor Lipids.
