Groundbreaking Collaboration: Vivos Therapeutics and Cellev8 Nutrition Join Forces to Address Sleep Apnea and Oxidative Stress

WELLINGTON, FL and HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2024 / Cellev8 Nutrition Inc. (OTC Pink:CELV) and Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. today announced a strategic joint marketing venture aimed at providing comprehensive solutions for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and associated oxidative stress. This collaboration combines Vivos Therapeutics' FDA-cleared oral medical devices for treating moderate to severe OSA in children and adults with Cellev8 Nutrition's proprietary gummy form of nutraceuticals featuring the powerful enzymatic antioxidant, SOD2, designed to mitigate oxidative stress in the body.

Addressing a Significant Health Concern

Eli Lilly recently estimated that approximately 80 million American adults suffer from sleep apnea. On top of that, an estimated 10 million children also suffer. The prevalence is particularly high among older adults, with up to 32% of individuals over 65 experiencing OSA. Alarmingly, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) estimates that as many as 80% of people with OSA are undiagnosed. This underdiagnosis represents a significant public health challenge, as untreated OSA can lead to serious health complications and substantial economic costs.

The Complex Relationship Between Sleep Apnea, Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

The relationship between sleep apnea and weight is complex and bidirectional:

• Obesity as a Risk Factor: Obesity is recognized as one of the most important reversible risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea. Studies suggest that obesity is a major factor in 41% of adult OSA cases, including 58% of moderate-to-severe cases.

• Impact of Weight Loss: Weight loss has been shown to improve sleep apnea severity. A 5-10% reduction in body weight can significantly improve OSA symptoms. Some studies suggest that a 10% weight loss is associated with a 26% reduction in the number of apnea events during sleep.

The interplay between weight and sleep apnea underscores the importance of addressing both issues concurrently for effective management and improved health outcomes.

Comprehensive, Natural Approach to Health Management

This collaboration intends to provide an all-natural, scientifically-backed solution through Cellev8 Nutrition's comprehensive lineup of nutraceutical products. The range includes Inflammation and Recovery, Focus and Memory, and the newly introduced SlimCell formulations.Cellev8 Nutrition's proprietary blend of clinically proven ingredients has demonstrated significant efficacy in addressing multiple aspects of health:

• Oxidative Stress Reduction: The formulations have shown a measurable decrease in markers of oxidative stress, a key factor in various chronic conditions including OSA. Importantly, Cellev8 can mitigate the oxidative damage done before and during the OSA treatment that Vivos delivers.

• Long-term Benefits: Even after the permanent improvement sustained by Vivos treatment, Cellev8's nutraceuticals continue to aid in managing other chronic inflammatory causes, providing ongoing support for overall health.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Clinical studies have indicated a reduction in systemic inflammation, which is crucial for overall health and particularly relevant for OSA patients.

• Cognitive Enhancement: The Focus and Memory gummies have demonstrated improvements in various cognitive functions, including attention, memory recall, and processing speed.

• Metabolic Health: The SlimCell product line has shown promising results in weight management, with statistically significant reductions in Body Mass Index (BMI) observed in clinical trials.

• Body Composition Improvements: Participants in studies have experienced reductions in hip and waist circumferences, as well as a decrease in the appearance of cellulite, attributed to the anti-inflammatory properties of the formulations.

These benefits have been observed in controlled studies over periods of 30, 60, and 90 days of daily use, suggesting both short-term and sustained positive effects.

Complementary Approach to Treatment

Kirk Huntsman, CEO of Vivos Therapeutics, elaborated on the partnership's potential: "This joint venture enables us to offer a complementary product to help ameliorate the severe damage caused to virtually every major bodily system in OSA patients. Our Vivos treatment does a great job of restoring an airway, while Cellev8 Nutrition products can help the rest of the body rejuvenate and recover. We can easily see a large portion of our patients taking these products as an important part of their healing process."

Mike Ferraro, CEO of Cellev8 Nutrition, provided additional context: "With as many as 90 million U.S. children and adults having OSA, and prevalence rising to over 50% in those above 65, we're addressing a significant health concern. OSA works through hypoxia's cause of oxidative stress. Our product is designed to balance this impact and alleviate the stress it causes. We are excited to partner with an FDA-approved OSA product proven to prevent permanent OSA in U.S. patients."

Innovative Approach to OSA Management

This collaboration represents a novel, multifaceted approach to addressing both the physical obstruction and oxidative stress associated with OSA. By combining Vivos Therapeutics' device-based treatment with Cellev8 Nutrition's SOD2 based supplements, this partnership aims to provide patients with a more comprehensive solution to manage their conditions.
