Nutrilite™ Double X based on 90 years of phytonutrient research

In addition to 12 essential vitamins and 10 essential minerals, the current formula of Double X has phytonutrients from 21 different plant concentrates from all five color groups, especially the purple group, which research shows is the least consumed by people across the world. It is the result of 90 years of continual research and investment in the study of plant nutrients to support optimal health that began with Nutrilite founder Carl Rehnborg.

While living and working in China in the 1920s during his pre-Nutrilite days, Rehnborg noticed how people living in rural communities with diets heavy in the easily accessible fresh fruits and vegetables compared to city dwellers with different diets. He theorized that plants must contain yet to-be-discovered compounds important for supporting optimal health.

We now know those compounds are phytonutrients, and they give fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors and are believed to deliver antioxidant benefits. The current formula of Double X also includes PhytoProtect™, a patented blend of rosemary, turmeric and onion extracts.

While the antioxidant-rich phytonutrients from each ingredient are beneficial individually, Nutrilite researchers discovered in lab tests that the free-radical fighting power of the three extracts was better when they are combined in a specific ratio.

Research continues on benefits of Nutrilite™ Double X

Nutrilite scientists will continue to research how plant nutrients may help benefit optimal health, “Amway is all about helping people live better lives. For Double X, we strive to have a positive impact on nutrition and optimal health. Therefore, it is our on-going quest to discover new research and botanical ingredients that deliver safe, pure and effective benefits.”
