Ultra Blend Probiotic Fact Sheet

How do you take Ultra Blend? 

I recommend taking Ultra Blend straight off the spoon. It tastes pleasant and has a chewy consistency a bit like Sherbet. You can choose to take half a teaspoon twice a day or one teaspoon once a day. For acute conditions (colds, flu, sore throat, upset stomach or similar) you can be taken without concern of harm.

 

​How long is it best to take Ultra Blend? 

100g of UltraBlend is a complete course. It is recommended that to replenish the good bacteria you take the entire course. One 100g bottle may be adequate if you are not experiencing any: digestive distress, food allergies, skin conditions – psoriasis or eczema or other signs or symptoms of gut flora imbalance.  If you have such conditions it is recommended that you take UltraBlend for 3 to 4 months. Once your gut flora is in balance a maintenance course (100g a month’s supply) of UltraBlend every 3 or 6 months is advised to maintain optimum health.

 

UltraBlend contains dried Bifidobacterium fermentation product, Maltrin, Sucrose, Citric Acid and natural flavours. Maltrin and Sucrose are the food sources for live bacteria in this product. Please ensure these ingredients are suitable for. 

​

What benefits does Ultra Blend offer? 

Ultra blend restores the billions upon billions of bacteria that live within the intestines - our human intestinal flora. Some bacteria are referred to as friendly and others as unfriendly. It is the friendly bacteria, which keeps the unfriendly bacteria from dominating and creating an imbalance. When you take a course of wide-spectrum antibiotics, all bacteria, friendly and unfriendly can be killed or numbers significantly reduced. 

​

What undermines gut health?  

Antibiotics are just one way that essential species of bacteria in our gut are reduced or wiped out completely. Our busy lifestyle, eating habits, chlorinated water, food and alcohol choices can undermine our gut health. A diverse microbiome facilitates everything from effective digestion to optimal mental health. Below is a list of some of the functions of the 400 human gut flora. One extraordinary thing about the species of bacteria in our gut is that each has a specific task. If the numbers of a species diminish or is wiped out altogether the task assigned to them does not get done. 

 

One of the sneakiest killers of bacteria in the gut is chlorinated water. Chlorine is added to water to kill bacteria. When we drink this water it indiscriminately kills our essential gut bacteria. Chlorine is a hidden and accumulative gut flora hazard.  

One of our body’s natural defence against fungus infections is to call in its friendly bacterial flora. Yeasts such as Candida Albicans, are impervious to the antibiotics that wipe out bacteria. When friendly and unfriendly bacteria are wiped out by medications and there are insufficient bacteria to protect you, yeast overgrowth can cause yeast infections, thrush, etc.

 

Making informed choices to aid optimal gut health 

Making informed choices about when and what we eat and drink can make a big difference to gut health. Most of the foods we eat kill good bacteria – most animals are fed antibiotics as a preventative, it’s in their feed and is intended to prevent them from getting sick. When we eat animals that have been fed antibiotics it kills our good bacteria. Most vegetables are sprayed with pesticides and these too reduce the good bacteria in the gut. People that eat their food quickly or late at night often have food that putrefies in the gut, these behaviours do not support healthy numbers of gut bacteria they compromise them because these are less than optimal conditions for food to be broken down.  People with high sugar diets or whose body does not metabolise sugar easily (Diabetics) are more inclined to an overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria (those who drink alcohol are included in this group because alcohol has a large amount of sugar in it).

 

Optimal human gastrointestinal tract health - Lactobacillus Species

The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by over 400 species of bacteria. Various species of lactobacillus make up the majority of the friendly organisms. Your health is dependent upon the health of these beneficial bacteria, as they play many crucial and indispensable roles in our physiology.

 

What do the 400 strains of bacteria in your gut do? Below are some of the more important functions of these bacteria:

• Lactobacillus produces a natural antibiotic, which is anti-microbial to common, food-borne pathogens

• They produce B2, B3, 1B5, B6, B12, Folic acid, Biotin and they improve the absorption of calcium

• They create enzymes, which help to digest food and absorb cooked food mutagens

• They improve the nutritional value of food

• They produce hydrogen peroxide, which has an anti-microbial effect on food and environmental-borne pathogens

• They are protective against gastrointestinal upsets, abdominal pains, constipation and antibiotic-induced diarrhoea

• They produce nucleic acids, lactic acid and lactase, the enzyme, which aids in the digestion of lactose

• They lower serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels

• They create a pH of 5.0 or lower, causing inhibitions of pathogenic organisms through unfavourable environments.

• They combat the growth of campylobacter pylon, Heliobacter pylori and E.Coli and is used in treating intestinal infections, including salmonellosis and shigellosis.

• Protect/ combat the colonization of putrefying bacteria in the throat, tongue, mouth and further gastrointestinal tract.

• These bacteria potentiate the immune response to environmental insults and risk of infection by increasing phagocytic and lymphocytic activity. The activity of lymphocytes and macrophage functions, such as phagocytosis, lysosomal enzyme activities and colloidal carbon clearance activity is enhanced.

​

How can Ultra Blend be added to your gut care routine? 

Ultra Blend contains a blend of Bifidobacterium and Bacillus Natto and is designed to replenish the friendly bacteria. It contains human isolate friendly Bifidobacterium longum bacteria. It is not cultured through yoghurt, soy or other bacteria and it contains no lactose. Ultra Blend is enhanced by the presence of bacillus subtilis which ingests harmful bacteria in the colon. Both Bifidobacterium longum and bacillus subtilis stimulate natural enzyme production and activity to improve assimilation of nutrients, maintain a healthy immune function and reduce inflammation in the colon.​
