These Bacteria are Life

Triple Fermented, Multi Spectrum Probiotic

By Haley Nagasaki

Probiotic (pro-life) bacteria serve innumerable benefits to all organic life and have
become a staple of health-conscious diets. Contrary to decades passed, contemporary
diets no longer provide our bodies with sufficient probiotics, or lactic acid; therefore we
must supplement them. Although many people may not be aware of the degree to which
probiotics on the shelf vary in quality and productivity. Last month I had the pleasure of
sitting down with Niels Wandler, the founder of Biosa Inc., and we discussed what
makes Vita Biosa 10+ so effective and so entirely unique.

Niels shared with me the basic science behind probiotic bacteria, and the
important differences regarding their production and packaging. Probiotic supplements
come in different forms including powders, pills, and capsules. Although another possible
source is a Multi Spectrum Probiotic like Vita Biosa. This food-grade, triple fermented
beverage is not classified as a supplement but a health food instead, with excellent
physiological effects.

Probiotic bacteria have seven hours upon ingestion to travel through the digestive
system while keeping their integrity intact before they make it to the large intestine.
Although this short duration is rather limiting when you consider the complexity of the
task at hand. These bacteria must enter into the body and pass through hostile stomach
acid. They must find a mate within the small intestine with which to reproduce, and
locate food to begin multiplying, all before reaching the large intestine. Because of this
short time frame, and the often already-compromised hosts digestive system, some
people may not be able to break down the protective coating of the supplement, causing
little or no release of the intended probiotic effect.

Brewed in Canada, Vita Biosa 10+ is created using only organic ingredients
including nineteen different herbs sourced from Germany, cane sugar molasses from
Paraguay, and licensed food processing bacteria from four accredited European labs. To
facilitate fermentation, ten strains of probiotic bacteria, including lactobacilli acidophilus
and bifido, are then added to the broth of plant elements, digestive enzymes, and sugars,
which begins the fermentation process. The carbohydrates are then converted into lactic
acid while the prebiotics, or food, are preserved within the broth. This process actually
magnifies the whole, making the brew greater than the sum of its parts, hence 10+.

These bacteria multiply at different rates, in different stages, and at different grow
temperatures. Thats why at Biosa Inc., Niels and his team are using a special technology
called Triple Fermentation Process to ensure that all growth rate variables are covered.
The predigestive fermentation happening in the Biosa liquid now mirrors whats going
on inside the gut, and when the bacteria are introduced into the system, the body
recognizes them and they begin socializing immediately.

The finished probiotic drink has lactic acid derived from sugar conversion, with a
pH value very similar to that of stomach acid. It is therefore neutral for the stomach, and
easy to pass through the small intestines; another key process attributed to this probiotic.
The bacteria now have a better chance of making it to the gut. Niels says that the
problem with probiotics in capsules or coated pill form is that their exterior shells are
designed to withstand destructive stomach acid, and may not be released within the
correct time frame. Meanwhile the Vita Biosa bacteria begin the fermentation process
upon ingestion, as they already recognize each other and have begun reproducing prior to
consumption.

The bacterias next step is to analyze the environment and establish their
individual tasks within the hosts body in order to confer their healing modalities. This
complex community, or culture, has the skills to decide which combinations of bacteria
are necessary to assist with different bodily functions.

While achieving good digestion and regularity is one of the principal goals of the
probiotic, eliminating free radicals and lowering oxidative stress by means of its high
antioxidant content is also a significant benefit of Vita Biosa. Improved oral health is
another important benefit by flushing bad bacteria from the mouth cavity. Research
suggests that candida is amongst these bad bacteria that cannot thrive in an environment
dominated by lactic acid.

The product is thus called a Multi Spectrum Probiotic, implying that the bacteria
can work on many issues or ailments within the body simultaneously. Eventually
however, they will be flushed out of the body, and once they are gone they cannot
repopulate. Therefore it is necessary to incorporate the Vita Biosa probiotic drink into
daily health routines to continue cultivating friendly gut bacteria.

After one week of using the product I noticed increased energy, which is typically
the first observation made due to better food conversion. The body is satisfied with less
sustenance and no longer demands certain foods, especially sugar cravings, which I can
attest to. By reducing food consumption, the digestive system is less taxed, yet we are left
with a surplus of energy. I also used Vita Biosa topically to treat an eczema outbreak on
the palms of my hands. Amazingly after a couple of days, it disappeared.

While other liquid probiotics do exist, they are only available as single
fermentation. Take Kombucha as a popular example of a single fermented beverage. The
Kombucha is ready for consumption after a single fermentation, and each time a new
batch is brewed, the majority of the cultures, called scobys, are reused. Niels explained to
me how Vita Biosa is much different insofar as every batch starts with new bacteria,
which multiply in larger quantities due to the various growth temperatures.
 Inside each of us exists a rainforest of gut flora that requires nutritious fuel called
prebiotics, in order for the bacteria, probiotics, to live and work in harmony with the
host. Basically these bacteria are life, says Niels, thats why were here. Thats why you
are there and thats why Im here. Its because of them.

healing relationship between Vita Biosa and our cherished Honey Bee population.
