At doTERRA, we believe that what you put in your body matters—and so does how your body uses it. That’s why our scientists put VMG+, our advanced daily vitamin and mineral sachet, through a full clinical research study to see just how well it works.

Spoiler alert: The results are pretty exciting!

Here’s what we found—and what it could mean for your health.

What Was the Study About?

VMG+ isn’t your typical supplement. It uses a special system which combines liposomes (tiny bubbles of healthy fat) and essential oils to help nutrients absorb better in your body.

Think of nutrients like passengers trying to cross a rough river. Regular vitamins ride little rowboats (sometimes sinking before they get across!). Liposomes are like sturdy ferries that shield the nutrients and help them safely cross to where your body can use them.

The study wanted to answer three big questions:

1. Does VMG+ help your body absorb and keep more nutrients compared to normal vitamins?
2. Does VMG+ work better even in a simulated "gut environment" (lab testing with gut cells)?
3. Does taking VMG+ lead to other health benefits, like better antioxidant defenses and less inflammation?

How the Study Worked

Researchers used two approaches:

1. Human Trials:

• Participants (healthy adults aged 20–60) took VMG+ or a regular supplement.
• Blood tests measured how many key vitamins and minerals showed up over time.
• They also tracked markers of inflammation and antioxidant strength after six weeks of taking VMG+ daily.

2. Lab Testing (Caco-2 Cell Model):

• Nutrient absorption was tested in special gut-like cells to compare VMG+ to standard formulas.

Main Findings: What Happened?

Faster and Stronger Nutrient Absorption

After just one dose:

• Vitamin C levels increased four times higher with VMG+ compared to regular supplements.

• Vitamin E absorption was over five times better.
• Iron levels were six times higher.

• Calcium and potassium also absorbed better.

And the best part? Nutrient levels stayed high in the blood for up to eight hours, while regular supplements dropped off much faster.

Stronger Body Defenses

After six weeks of daily VMG+ use:

• Vitamin D levels improved by about 22%.

• Vitamin B9 (folate) and B12 went up significantly, supporting energy and metabolism.

• Calcium levels increased by 53% overall—especially important for strong bones!
• Iron-related markers improved, showing potential for better energy and oxygen transport.

Less Inflammation, More Protection

VMG+ didn’t just improve vitamin levels—it helped the body fight back against everyday stress:

• hs-CRP (a marker linked to heart and inflammation risks) dropped by 26%.
• People with higher inflammation at the start saw even greater improvements (up to 34% drop).

• Antioxidant markers like glutathione and SOD (superoxide dismutase) went up, especially in people who had lower levels to begin with.
• These antioxidants act like your body’s cleanup crew, sweeping up harmful molecules before they can cause damage.

Possible Slowing of Cellular Aging

Scientists used a special "biological clock" called DamAge to estimate cellular wear and tear.

• After six weeks, participants’ clock scores dropped slightly (from 55.1 to 53.4).
• This suggests VMG+ may help reduce some of the daily damage your cells face over time.

Participants Felt Better, Too!

When asked about their daily lives, most participants said they felt:

• Better mental clarity
• More energy
• Better digestive comfort
• Better sleep quality

Safety First

• No serious side effects were reported.
• A few people had mild symptoms (like gas or headaches), but these were minor and went away.
• Blood tests showed no problems with liver, kidney, or overall health markers.

Bottom line: VMG+ was safe and easy to use every day.

Why VMG+ Matters

Most supplements only deliver a small amount of nutrients where they’re needed. It’s like trying to water a whole garden with a tiny cup.

VMG+ acts more like a powerful irrigation system—delivering nutrients efficiently, keeping them in your bloodstream longer, and helping your body actually use what you take.

Simple Analogy to Remember:

• Regular supplements = rowboats struggling across the river.
• VMG+ supplements = sturdy ferries helping passengers (nutrients) arrive safely and stay longer!

What’s Next?

While these results are promising, researchers plan future studies with:

• More participants
• Longer testing periods
• Different age groups and health conditions

This will help us learn even more about how VMG+ can support whole-body wellness over time.

In Conclusion

VMG+ offers a modern way to get more out of your vitamins and minerals. The science shows that this liposomal, essential-oil enhanced system helps nutrients:

• Absorb faster
• Stay longer
• Support key health systems like your heart, brain, and immune system

And it does all this safely and naturally.
