The Science

The science behind every Intact product.

We built OmniVita because the wellness aisle is mostly marketing. This page is the opposite — the actual technology, the actual ingredients, the actual evidence that backs every claim on every product page.

The technology: Nutri-Mastic™

Nutri-Mastic™ proprietary blend — mastic gum from Pistacia lentiscus (Chios) and seawater-derived ionic minerals (potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, sulfate, trace minerals). Supports digestive balance, immune support, cellular hydration, electrolyte balance, and stress response.

Every Intact-line product is built on the same proprietary blend, called Nutri-Mastic™. Two halves:

  • Mastic gum from the resin of Pistacia lentiscus, a tree cultivated on the Greek island of Chios for over 2,500 years. Used in Mediterranean herbal traditions for digestive support, recognized in modern research for its role in supporting normal gut microbial balance and the body's response to stress.
  • Seawater-derived ionic minerals in a full functional panel — potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, sulfate, plus trace minerals. Delivered in ionic form for cellular-level absorption.

The magnesium content

Per the published mineral assay (Certificate of Analysis), each ¾-teaspoon serving of Intact Digest™ or Intact Endurance™ delivers approximately 360 mg of elemental magnesium — roughly a full adult daily intake of magnesium in one dose. This is why most customers take the human products in the evening: magnesium is widely recognized for supporting normal sleep quality and overnight recovery.

The mineral assay also lists the full panel: chloride (~208,000 µg/ml), sulfate (~23,000 µg/ml), sodium (~4,490 µg/ml), potassium (~3,210 µg/ml), calcium (~34 µg/ml), plus trace minerals (bromine, fluoride, vanadium, boron, and others in smaller amounts).

These figures describe the human formulas only — Intact Digest™ and Intact Endurance™. Equine Intact™ and Pet Intact™ are dosed by body weight and have different mineral amounts; refer to the Guaranteed Analysis on each animal product's label.

The published research behind the ingredient

When we say mastic gum has a documented scientific record, we mean specifically these sources:

  • European Medicines Agency, Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products. Assessment report on Pistacia lentiscus L., resina (mastic). A formal evidence review compiling traditional-use documentation, pharmacological studies, clinical trial data, and safety records on mastic gum.
  • Blomquist, S.A., et al. (2024). “Mastic Gum: A Promising Phytotherapeutic for Cardiometabolic Health.” Nutrients, 16, 2941. A peer-reviewed 2024 review article on emerging research into mastic gum’s components and their study in relation to cardiometabolic markers.
  • Ahlawat, S., et al. (2020). “Gut–organ axis: A microbial outreach and networking.” Letters in Applied Microbiology, 72(6). Background research on the gut’s relationship to other organ systems through microbiota signaling pathways.
  • Marchesi, J., et al. “The gut microbiota and host health: a new clinical frontier.” A foundational review article in the field of gut-microbiome research.
  • Marone et al. (2001); Bona et al. (2001); Kottakis et al. (2009). Foundational studies on mastic gum’s antibacterial properties, cited within the EMA Assessment Report.

For a plain-English walkthrough of what the EMA report actually says and what it doesn’t say, read What the European Medicines Agency Says About Mastic Gum. The structure/function language on every OmniVita PDP is anchored to this evidence base — we don’t overclaim past it.

What backs every product

  • Full ingredient panel and supplement facts on every label — no proprietary blends, no undisclosed ingredients.
  • Published mineral assay (Certificate of Analysis) verifying the mineral content and magnesium dose on the human SKUs.
  • AAFCO-defined ingredients on the animal SKUs (Equine Intact™, Pet Intact™), with guaranteed analysis on the back label.
  • Mastic gum's 2,500-year traditional-use record in Mediterranean herbal medicine for digestive support, formally documented in the EMA Assessment Report cited above.
  • DSHEA structure/function claim discipline — no disease claims, FDA disclaimer wherever structure/function language appears.
  • Veterinary-consultation language on every animal product page.
  • Money-back guarantee if the product doesn't work for your animal or for you.

Why "absorption" matters

Swallowing a supplement and absorbing it aren't the same thing — and only one of them does anything for you.

The difference is the form the minerals are in. Ionic minerals carry electrical charge, which is how the body's cells recognize and uptake them. That's the difference between an ingredient that's in the bottle and an ingredient that's in the body.

Structure/function only

Every claim on every Intact-line product page is a structure/function claim under FDA DSHEA (the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994). We do not claim our products diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We cite the source for each substantive claim on the product page where the claim appears.
