The above ingredients are allowed to ferment naturally in unpolluted mountain spring water for a period of 3 years. . Due to the way LB17 "live" probiotic is exposed to extremes in temperature (summer and winter) during the fermentation process, the bacteria in LB17 "live" probiotic are potent, resilient and are able to stay alive (up to 3 years!) at room temperature without the need for refrigeration. They are "live" and do not need to be revived unlike most of the other probiotics particularly those that were "freeze dried"!

Prior to encapsulation, Perilla oil (high in Omega 3 EFA) is added to provide even better benefits to the user

No preservatives, additives, colouring, artificial flavouring are used in the production process

LB17 "live" probiotic is suitable for vegetarians as well as the "raw foods practitioner". It is also suitable to the lactose intolerant and milk protein (caesin) sensitive individuals.

The concentrate in each vegetable capsule of LB17 "live" probiotic contains 17 strains of lactic bacteria (11 lactobacillus + 2 bifido bacterium), amino acids, vitamins and minerals

• treat and control fungal infections, including eradicating Candida, through the antifungal effects of LAB especially the LAB strains in LB17
• bring the balance of friendly flora in the digestive system back to at least 80% good bacteria
  
• assist in the digestion of food consumed and its subsequent absorption
  
• boost the immune system of the body
  
• in bringing the digestive functions back to good order, help to ease the stress on and cleanse the organs associated with digestion such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, etc
  
• support the treatment of crohns and colitis
  
• study shows live probiotics protects intestinal cells from effects of infection by interoinvasive Escherichia coil (EIEC)
  
• improve oxygen intake to the red cell plateletes and thus improve the stamina and endurance of athletes from studies conducted by researches at Okayama University, Japan
  
• convert botancial lignans (SDG) in the bowel to mammalian lignans (ED and EL) to enable the body to absorb these powerul and amazingly beneficial substances. Lignans have been recognised and acknowledged by the medical fraternity as effective in treating and preventing cancers such as breast, bowel, colon and prostate
  
• in conjunction with Osumex Rice Bran Oils (RBO), significantly boost the healing powers of the skin. This is vital to individuals who are afflicted with Diabetes (Type-2) where healing properties of the skin have been impaired so that loss of limbs arising from serious infections may be avoided
  
• help treat psoriasis, a condition which is being recognised to be caused by a poor or inadequate immune system

• pevent colds and nasal congestions through elimination of excessive bad and harmful bacteria in the nasal passages
  
• ease and relief heart-burn, acid reflux and most other digestive disorders such as excessive intestinal gas
  

THE ROLE OF LACTIC BACTERIA IN THE PREVENTION AND THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES:

Among the most important are: Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bifidus, L. bulgaricus, L casei, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, L. fermentum. L. salivarius, Streptococcus thermophilus and Streptococcus faecium. They inhibit the proliferation and the activities of pathogenic bacteria in several ways.

By the production of lactic acid:
Harmful and pathogenic bacteria cannot develop in an acidic environment

By the production of specific antibiotics:
Lactobacillus acidophilus produces acidophiline, L bulgaricus produces bulgarican, other lactobacilli produce lactocidine, lactobacilline, hydrogen peroxide, bacterial peptides, lactic streptococci produce nisin and streptococcins. These are all anti-septic to pathogenic bacterium.

It has been shown that lactic bacteria, in particular Streptococcus faecium, colonize the intestinal mucosa preventing its attachment by other harmful microbes. This protects the integrity of the digestive system eliminating the onset of many digestive disorders.
