Whey protein is one of the highest quality protiens. It is used by professional athletes to gain and maintain muscle. This protein should not be compared to milk powder nor soy protein.
Those natural nutrients which are the exclusive nutrients of probiotics that promote their reproduction and dominance are called prebiotics. In the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract, digestive enzymes do not disassemble the prebiotics, so they can reach the large intestine undigested. Prebiotics are dietary fibers, but water-soluble, therefore one of the best dietary fibers. In addition to their function as dietary fibers, their most important role is that they are the exclusive nutrients of probiotics. Because of the lack of digestible nutrition in the large intestine, the consumed prebiotics offer the possibility of the reproduction of human-friendly intestinal bacteria.
In their natural state a lot of food contains them, for example: Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes, whole grains, wheat, banana, flax, spinach, cabbage, chard, mustard, berries, legumes, milk and most mature cheese.
Inulins are a type of prebiotics. It is a dietary fiber that reaches the large intestine undigested, enhances the reproduction and dominance of probiotics.
Glucomannan or konjac is a plant native of East Asia. It likes warm and tropical climate. It is a long, perennial plant, the stems and flowers of which can be compared to a carnivorous plant. The plant is grown for its corm hidden underground which can grow to 23-25 cm in diameter. Glucomannan is extracted from this corm, which has been used for its beneficial effects in the Far East from the Sixth century. It naturally contains minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and potassium. This East Asian herb is nicknamed ˝KILL KILO˝, because it is an entirely natural fiber which can absorb 300 times more water than its own weight. Due to its the water binding capacity, glucomannan is contributes to weight loss in reduced-calorie diet.
An interesting fact
Glucomannan is mostly used in Japanese cuisine. Its corm is chopped, dried and milled to make konjac flour. From this flour they make the popular shirataki noodles.

Coconut blossom sugar and Fructose
|
|
The sweet nectar obtained from coconut flower and the extracts from fruit give us the pleasant sweet taste. This is how we could achieve the harmonic, full taste which characterize our products. During sweetening we paid attention to low calorie content so refined sugar is not included in our products. Every portion contains just 112 kilocalories. We do not use stevia and xylitol in our products.
Cocoa with coconut blossom sugar and fructose produce the perfect chocolate taste. With this combination we did not have to add any artificial aromas or flavors.

Vitamins A, B2, B6, B7, B9, B12, D, E, K2
|
|
Every sachet contains 500 IU vitamin D which is 250% of our daily intake. Every portion contains vitamin A, B2, B6, B7, B9, B12, E and K2, which supplies 50% of the recommended daily need. Consuming 2 sachets of our product you can fulfill 100% of your daily vitamin requirements.
Collagen is a natural protein that accounts for as much as 30% of the body's total protein. Primarily it can be found in connective tissues and in stroma but it is also an important building material of bones, cartilages, tendons, ligaments and the skin. Seventy percent of our skin is made up of collagen.
Collagen is produced by our bodies from amino acids. With age the production gradually declines.
Natural sources of collagen are mostly poultry and fish but it can be found in mushroom as well. It is important to consume vegetables, seeds and legumes because these plant proteins contribute to the construction of collagen.
Interesting fact
Even the ancient Chinese used beef bone broth to ease joint pain. Collagen is the main element of bones in cattle (mostly the cartilage part) that transforms into gelatine if boiled.
Medical researches prove that large quantities of collagen fibers provide great tensile strength to connective tissues.
This Number One Shake Product contain four types of well-assorted bacterial strains in elevated quantity as well as Inulin for increasing efficiency.
Inulin and microflora
Microflora is formed by beneficial, living microorganisms, which survive the acidic environment in the gastrointestinal tract and help maintain the balance of healthy intestinal mircroflora. Our products contain high numbers of bacterial florea and inulin which helps their reproduction. Probiotics word also known as microflora is of Greek origin meaning life. R. B. Parker was the first who used the term probotic in 1974 for organisms and substances responsible for the balance of intestinal tract. The characteristiscs of probiotics are: human origin, non-pathogenic, resistant to the digestive effects of gastric acid, bile, saliva, pancreatic and intestinal fluids. They retain their resilience in food shelf life and technological processes. In addition, probiotics are capable of adhering to mucosal cells, have antimicrobial activity against potential pathogens, and reduce the adherence of pathogenic microbes to the mucosal surface. Probiotics are mostly lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. Most of the best-known probiotic lactic acid bacteria strains are Lactobacillus, smaller portion is Streptococcus genus. Prebiotics are natural nutrients, that are the sole nutrients of probiotics therefore promote their reproduction and prevalance. In the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract, the digestive enzymes do not break down the prebiotics and thus can reach the large intestine undigested. Prebiotics are dietary fibers, but water-soluble, therefore one of the best dietary fibers. In addition to their function of dietary fiber, their real utility lies in the fact that they are the exclusive nutrients of probiotics. Because of the lack of digestible nutrition in the large intestine where there is little food, the consumed prebiotics offer the possibility of the reproduction of human-friendly intestinal bacteria. Many foods contain prebiotics, for example: Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes, whole grains, wheat, banana, flax, spinach, cabbage, chard, mustard, berries, legumes, milk and most mature cheese. Inulins are a type of prebiotics and actually dietary fibers that reach the large intestine undigested, enhance the reproduction and prevalance of probiotics. Their role: digestion, balance of the intestinal flora
Our bodies are connected with the outside world through our intestinal system that is about 7-9 meters in length (the largest area in our body). Therefore it is vulnerable by the potential attack of pathogens and toxic substances. Normally there are about 200 to 400 different types of bacterial strains in our bowels. In fetal life beneficial bacteria dominates in 95-98%. Healthy intestinal flora provides protection against a variety of pathogens, ensures the integrity of intestinal mucosa and helps the absorption of the needed nutrients. They produce many essential vitamins for our body. If the gastrointestinal tract's defense mechanisms weaken, it can cause intereference in the absorption processes. In order for probiotics to be effective in their environment, a large number is required which is at least 108 c.f.u./gram in the body. | What does the c.f.u. expression mean? c.f.u.: colony-forming units per milliliter, the number of viable microorganisms. The amount of bacteria is usually measured this way in products. However, inulin is given in milligram. As appropriate doses of at least 109 c.f.u. is accepted. | |
| What kind of probiotic products are effective? - | Prebiotics help the reproduction of probiotics, therefore products should contain inulin or fructo- oligosaccharides. | | - | They resist the effects of stomach acid, bile and digestive enzymes, so the live beneficial bacteria can reach the large intestine, where they are able to adhere and reproduce. One essential condition is that the bacteria keep their viability during their passage through the gastrointestinal tract. | | - | A good probiotic product should contain at least 5-6 strains, as we intend to make up the intestinal flora's multi-culture. | | - | During the warranty period and during technological processes they keep power of resistance. | | - | It contains of an appropriate volume of germs, the minimum quantity proposed by
specialist is 108 or 109 c.f.u. |
