One of the things that makes the doTERRA community special is the stories—those moments when someone feels a real difference in their health and shares it. But behind every story, there’s more than just anecdotal evidence. Now we have science that confirms what so many have experienced: doTERRA’s foundational wellness system works.
Over the past year, doTERRA has focused on three core products: VMg+®, EOmega+®, and PB Restore®. Together, they make up the Foundational Wellness Kit—wellness made simple. And a new clinical trial has shown just how powerful this trio can be.
The Study at a Glance
Researchers tracked key metabolic, cognitive, and quality-of-life markers to measure how daily use of the Foundational Wellness Kit impacted overall health.
Key Findings
1. Nutrient Absorption That Works
Most multivitamins fail because nutrients never make it into the cells—they just pass through. But with doTERRA’s liposomal technology, nutrients are delivered where the body can actually use them.
Vitamin B12 levels increased by 20–25% in healthy individuals.
Traditional oral B12 often fails because it’s destroyed by stomach acid.
That’s why many people resort to B12 injections—but this study shows you don’t need a shot to raise B12 levels.
Key Insight: The Foundational Wellness Kit provides nutrients your body can actually absorb and use.
2. Better Metabolic Health
Think of your metabolism as an orchestra—every hormone an instrument that needs to be in tune. This system helps restore harmony.
Hemoglobin A1C (a measure of blood sugar control) decreased significantly, helping protect long-term metabolic health.
Thyroid function improved: TSH (the thyroid’s signal) increased and Free T4 (the active thyroid hormone) climbed, tuning up the body’s “thermostat.”
Key Insight: These products help the body function more like it did when it was younger.
3. Cognitive Performance
The trial used the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, which measures processing speed, attention, and executive function. After three months:
Participants described the effect as “lifting the mental fog.”
4. Quality of Life Improvements
Six validated research surveys tracked:
Sleep quality
Digestive comfort
Mood stability
Physical vitality
General well-being
Mental health
Every single category showed statistically significant improvements.
Key Insight: People didn’t just feel better—they measured better.
The Copaiba Effect
The study also looked at what happened when participants added Copaiba essential oil softgels—one of doTERRA’s 13 foundational oils—alongside the kit.
Results were even more remarkable:
Cognitive tests: immediate recall, delayed recall, and processing speed all improved further.
Body composition: fat percentage went down while muscle mass went up—without any change in diet or exercise.
Key Insight: Copaiba acted as a catalyst, amplifying the benefits of the foundational wellness system through the endocannabinoid system.
Why It Matters
This trial produced a massive dataset—over 60,000 data points—that will shape doTERRA science for years. But here’s the bottom line:
Bioavailable nutrition fuels your cells.
Metabolic harmony protects long-term health.
Sharper cognition supports daily living.
Quality of life measurably improves.
Essential oils like Copaiba amplify the results.
And these findings are compliance approved—you can share them with confidence.
The Foundational Wellness Kit is more than just supplements—it’s a system that tunes the body’s orchestra, restores metabolic balance, sharpens the mind, and improves overall vitality.
It’s not just stories anymore—it’s science you can see, measure, and trust.
Discussion Questions – Foundational Wellness: Proven Science, Real Results
Nutrient Absorption That Works: What difference does it make that nutrients like B12 from the VMG+ are actually absorbed into the cells rather than passing through the body?
Better Metabolic Health: How does the idea of your metabolism being “like an orchestra” help you picture what balance in the body looks like? Who do you know that would benefit from stabilizing A1C and thyroid hormone levels?
Cognitive Performance: When you hear that people felt a “lifting of the mental fog,” what comes to mind? Have you ever noticed how nutrition affects your focus or energy?
Real Results & Research :What stands out to you about the study on Foundational Wellness Bundle (VMG+, EO Mega+, and PB Restore) with over 60,000 data points showing measurable improvements in health and cognition?
Overall Takeaway: Based on what you learned, how could you see yourself or your family benefiting from a daily foundational wellness routine?
