This is a water-soluble vitamin family. Vitamin B does not mean one vitamin, it is a vitamin complex (B2, B6, B7, B9, B12). Members of the Vitamin B group are not only connected by the fact that they are water-soluble, but they also carry out tasks together in several tissues of our body.
Vitamin B1 assists with the normal functions of the nervous system, the maintenance of normal psychological and heart function. It plays a role in energy-producing metabolic processes. Thiamin contributes to the proper functioning of the heart.

Ecoflax Omega-3 45% linolenic acid
|
|
Omega-3 fatty acids have always been present in the human diet but their role in the human body have only been recognized in recent decades. Omega-3 is one of the two most important essential fatty acids. The essential fatty acids cannot be produced in our body. We have to obtain them from external sources - from food.
Q10 can be synthesized by the human body but decreases with aging.
|
|
Why should we take Q10 and Q1 coenzymes?
|
|
Q10 is a natural substance that can be found in every tissue of our body and is closely related to cells gaining energy from nutrients. Its effect is enhanced by coenzyme Q1 because it activates Q10 during energy production.
This One Year Product contains six different types of microflora in an increased number of germs, as well as Inulin improving 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. |
