Lactic acid producing lactobacilli bacteria
alter the pH of the large intestine, making it
inhospitable to undesirable bacteria, moulds, mould
spores and yeast, particularly Candida.
Putrefactive bacteria which are potentially
detrimental to good health and increase foul wind
production are inhibited by acidic conditions in the
colon.
The presence of active bacteria in the gut can aid the
digestive process by helping to break down foods. To
attain the health benefits attributed to Lactobacilli
fermented foods, live active bacteria need to be
consumed on a regular basis. It is believed the
life span in the human body of these cells is 3 to 10
days. Only the active forms have the ability to tolerate
the acidity of the stomach and the alkalinity of the
intestine to produce health benefits.

Bacteria live and work in colonies
There is a lot of confusion in the marketplace in
relation to the abundance or "count" of bacteria in
various probiotic products. Many companies are claiming
that their products have "billions" more bacteria than
other products to gain a marketing edge. This is very
misleading and, in reality, is little more than sales
hype.
Bacteria live and work in colonies. In scientific terms
these colonies are called, Colony-Forming Units (CFU's).
Some companies intentionally shake the colonies apart,
separating the CFU's, to increase the bacteria count of
their products, which is misleading to consumers.
The single most important factor in Probiotic food is
the reproduction ability of the bacteria.
The bacteria must be in their natural state and alive
so that once they arrive in the gut they can multiply
and produce all the sub-strains necessary to maintain a
healthy intestinal flora. To ensure that the bacteria
are in a natural state and have not been tampered with
or altered in any way it should be certified organic.
In-Liven has been certified by the ACO Australian
Certified Organic, Australia's largest certifying
body.

Research has shown that Lactobacilli bacteria:
-
Reduce cholesterol in the blood
-
Increase nutrient assimilation, including calcium
-
Reduce high blood pressure
-
Assist in the elimination of ailments such as colon
irritation, constipation, diarrhoea and acne
-
Retard yeast infections
-
Strengthen the immune system
-
Manufacture and assimilate B complex vitamins (which
include niacin, biotin, folic acid, riboflavin and
B12)
-
Help digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats
-
Produce natural anti-bacterial agents
-
Produce cancer or tumor suppressing compounds
-
Control the pH or acidity-alkaline levels in the
intestines
-
Reduce unhealthy bacteria in the intestinal tract
-
Detoxify poisonous materials in the diet
-
Detoxify hazardous chemicals added to foods, such as
nitrates
The Lactobacilli bacteria used in In-Liven are the
result of 20 years of research.
Our unique lactobacilli bacteria have been subjected to
a large number of stressors including:
Heat, cold, chlorine, salt, alcohol and many
preservatives found in food. This results in a "Super
Family" of very strong Lactobacilli unlike any
others found in the world today. It is also important to
note that all the bacteria in our formula are sourced
from fruits, vegetables or grains.
An effective Probiotic product should contain
Lactobacilli bacteria that can:
-
Maintain its high and active count through
processing and storage until consumption
-
Tolerate the acid conditions of the stomach
-
Tolerate bile salts
-
Increase its own numbers in the bowel and decrease
the numbers of competing bacteria.
The unique combination of whole foods and friendly
bacteria in In-Liven is a revolutionary breakthrough in
the world of nutrition and will become the benchmark
upon which all SUPER FOOD BLENDS will be measured.
The unique formulation of In-Liven provides the
complete Lactobacillus family of:
13 strains combined with 26 whole foods for 3 weeks
prior to bottling.
During this three-week preparatory phase the formula is
pre-digested by those lactobacilli in the same
way it is in our own body. When consumed, the body is
able to instantly assimilate the broad spectrum of
nutrients.
What if I think I am allergic to the ingredients in
In-Liven?
Allergic reactions to grains are generally caused by:
-
Compromised gut bacteria resulting in the body's
inability to break down the protein (gluten) in the
wheat.
-
A reaction to the synthetic chemicals used to grow
the wheat. The In-Liven formula has been
pre-digested by the lactobacilli bacteria, so
all the protein has already been broken down, and
all the ingredients are certified organic,
eliminating the use of synthetic chemicals.
In-Liven is a Super Food containing: 18 Amino Acids,
including the 8 essentials; significant enzymes and a
broad spectrum of essential nutrients.
The formula contains the complete Lactobacillus
family: acidophilus, delbruekii, caseii, bulgaricus,
causasicus, fermenti, plantarum, brevis, heleveticus,
lactis, bifidus, leichmanni and sporogenes.
It also includes: Organic Spirulina
- one of the single richest and most complete sources of
total organic nutrition in the world.
Organic Alfalfa Grass
- a complete protein with vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F K
and rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
and trace elements.
Organic Barley Grass
that has an incredible concentration of minerals,
vitamins, trace elements, protein and live enzymes.
Organic Wheat Grass
which is extremely high in chlorophyll and has a
molecular structure very similar to the haemoglobin of
human blood.
Chlorophyll
is the blood of the plant and is extremely rich in
nutrients.
Other organic ingredients include:
Rolled Oats, Brown Rice, Wheat Grain, Pearl Barley,
Linseed, Kidney Beans, Mung Beans, Adzuki Beans, Red
Lentils, Chick Peas, Beetroot, Sweet Potato, String
Beans, Zucchini, Cabbage, Silverbeet, Spinach, Chinese
Cabbage, Asparagus, Broccoli, Malt Liquid and Molasses
