Our Story
The story behind the creation of santivia
Santivia® is the brainchild of Lynette and Melanie Lee, a mother-daughter team who discovered that with a balanced immune system, the body could defend itself against illnesses.
Their personal health experiences convinced them that the ‘PITSS’ lifestyle of today - Poor nutrition, Infections, Toxins, Sleep deprivation and Stress, caused many of us to have compromised and overstimulated immune systems. They were inspired to create a product to help balance our immune systems that is safe for the whole family.
Through their rigorous research and holding firm to the belief that the path to good health comes from nature and not synthetic chemicals, they created Santivia® Immune. This unique supplement effectively balances our immune system, hence supporting our body to defend and heal itself against illnesses.
Through Santivia®, Lynette and Melanie hope to empower everyone to attain their best health so they can enjoy a life of purpose and fulfilment.
a mothers journey
Lynette is a qualified pharmacist for over 50 years. She has always been at the forefront of health advances having worked in pharmaceuticals, medical, beauty and nutraceuticals for years. She found herself searching for a solution for her sickly daughter, Melanie, who struggled with constant respiratory and ear infections, and severe daily allergies. While as a Board member of an immune product and research company, she came across a unique immune modulator which was supported by years of clinical and scientific studies, several patents and testimonials. She went through all the detailed data and decided to try it on Melanie. To both their amazement, Melanie’s incidence of illness reduced dramatically and after 6-8 months, even her allergies subsided.
Lynette who was also a partner in childcare centres noticed the increasing number of kids who were constantly absent from school. When one child got ill, they all passed it around and then they took the bugs home and circulated it amongst the family. The parents then brought it to their offices and to their colleagues. Lynette knew that she had to do something to help people. Her strong belief is that no matter your current health today, you can and should take steps to improve it. Many health problems can be avoided with a balanced immune system.
A daughters recovery
Melanie was always sickly, especially with her long working hours and hectic travel schedule as a lawyer. She was plagued by allergic rhinitis that sent her to frequent trips to the Ear, Nose & Throat doctors. She was on a regime of antihistamines, antibiotics, steroids and ear drops and gave up on sea sports. She feels blessed to now lead a normal, active life and became a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Seeing so many people succumb to poor health ranging from common flu to chronic illness, she felt a strong desire to have other people benefit the way she has and to empower them to achieve their best health. Together, mother and daughter decided to make this calling a reality.
