Elite Science For A Healthy Puerto Vallarta.

In a world where health has become synonymous with smart investment, Chilean science has taken a masterful step forward. From the laboratories of the University of Concepción, biochemist and Doctor of Biological Sciences Apolinaria García Cancino has developed a probiotic that, with a proven effectiveness of 93.6%, promises to forever change the fate of one of the most lethal diseases in Latin America: gastric cancer.

In Puerto Vallarta—a paradise that combines sophistication, well-being, and a community highly informed about new health trends—this type of innovation does not go unnoticed. The supplement, called Nup!, is not just a product of advanced research: it is a golden opportunity to shield stomach health with elite science. In a region where good living is a priority, effective prevention is the new luxury.

A silent threat

Helicobacter pylori, a pathogenic bacterium responsible for ulcers and 60% of gastric cancer cases, affects millions of people in Latin America. In Chile, the country of origin of this discovery, it is the leading cause of cancer death. Dr. García was clear: antibiotics were losing the battle. The solution could not be to cure, but to prevent.

Thus, Nup! was born, a probiotic composed of Lactobacillus fermentum, a benign bacterium that prevents Helicobacter pylori from adhering to the stomach. A kind of “invisible guard” that acts before the enemy knocks on the door. But that's not all: it also strengthens the immune system, transforming itself into a new generation immunobiotic.

Prevention from a position of privilege

In Puerto Vallarta, where prevention and self-care are already part of the lifestyle—between morning walks in Marina Vallarta, healthy routines in boutique gyms, and holistic retreats in the southern part of the city—incorporating a supplement of this category is a decision as logical as it is refined.

The supplement, which is already distributed in Chile and is on its way to Europe and Asia through a license with an Italian company, will soon be an international benchmark. In Vallarta, where health and wellness tourism coexists with a growing upper-middle class conscious of their bodies and longevity, this type of innovation is received as a shared secret among those who know the value of a good investment in prevention.

Useful science, human science

After more than 10 years of study and five years of work to obtain a patent, the team led by Apolinaria García succeeded in translating their work into an accessible product. “My goal was to make the probiotic available to the population, and seeing that happen gives me great satisfaction,” says the scientist. Beyond academic publications, her greatest achievement is that her discovery is at the service of society.

This commitment is especially valuable in communities such as Puerto Vallarta, where there is a growing appreciation for health products that are backed by scientific evidence but also guided by an ethical purpose.

The luxury of living with prevention

Those who understand that true well-being begins from within will appreciate what Nup! represents: a capsule that not only protects the stomach but also the future. In times when gastrointestinal diseases have become a constant and bacterial resistance a silent threat, anticipating with cutting-edge biotechnology is more than recommended: it is a statement of awareness.

From the spa to the table, from daily routines to the most momentous decisions, health is the new luxury. And on that map of intelligent prevention, Nup! stands out as one of the finest tools of the present.

Puerto Vallarta, sophisticated, healthy, and attentive to the future, is ready to embrace this innovation. Because living well also means protecting yourself well.

Maintaining a healthy digestive system not only means avoiding serious illnesses: it means ensuring a fuller, lighter, and happier everyday life. When digestion is effective, without inflammation or discomfort, energy flows naturally, mood improves, and even nighttime rest becomes deeper. Eating ceases to be a risk and becomes a pleasure again. For those who live in Puerto Vallarta, surrounded by exquisite cuisine and relaxed rhythms, having a balanced stomach is not a minor luxury, it is a key to enjoying every experience to the fullest. Because in reality, there is no greater well-being than that which is felt when the entire body is grateful from within.
