Vita Biosa

Herb drink fermented by lactic acid cultures

Vita Biosa is a mixture of aromatic herbs and other plants which are fermented by a special combination of lactic acid and yeast cultures. During fermentation lactic acid is formed, this gives a low pH value of about 3.5. The low pH prevents the development of harmful bacteria in the finished product.

Triple effect
1. Lactic acids act by regulating the pH of the intestinal environment. Lactic acid has a restrictive influence on putrefactive bacteria, parasites and other unwanted micro-organisms such as salmonella. The beneficial bacteria of the digestive system have thus a better possibility to multiply themselves and create a healthy environment, where food is digested in such a way that the body is supplied with the necessary nutrients. At the same time waste products are excreted, so that they do not accumulate in the body.

2. The herb blend consists of: angelica, anise, basil, camomile, chervil, dill, elder, fennel, fenugreek, ginger, juniper, liquorice root, nettle, oregano, parsley, peppermint, rosemary, sage, thyme.

All of the herbs are known from folk medicine and have been used throughout the centuries. The herbs have a beneficial influence on the digestion and supply the body with useful antioxidants which counteract the development of free radicals. Free radicals have a destructive effect on the body and can be the cause of illness.

3. Vita Biosa contains lactic acid bacteria, which are in a resting state due to the low pH value and lack of nourishment. When the micro-organisms reach the alimentary canal, they begin once more to multiply themselves. Lactic acid bacteria work together with other useful micro-organisms in the bowels and are able to compete against other harmful micro-organisms.

Good health comes from healthy intestines
The body is constantly exposed to `attacks´ by alien micro-organisms. The intestines or alimentary canal is one of the body's most exposed places; in that it is here we have the largest surface of mucus membranes.

- The surface of the skin is about 2 sq. metres.
- The surface of the inside of the lungs is about 80 sq. metres.
- The surface of the inside of the intestines is about 300 sq. metres!

It is important that the body can protect itself against harmful micro-organisms. The defence system consists partly of the skin, which keeps harmful micro-organisms out and partly of mucus membranes, which prevent micro-organisms from penetrating the alimentary canal into the body. The mucus membranes and the glands of the body produce antibodies which fight the harmful bacteria. Apart from the skin and mucus membranes, the body's defence system consists of a co-operation between the immune system and beneficial micro-organisms. The skin is covered by different types of lactic acid bacteria, which protect us and provide for a healthy and supple skin, capable of repelling attack. It is a mucus membrane on the inner side of the intestines, which ensures that the bacteria that we take in through our food, the air and water do not constantly attack us.

It is known that the micro flora of the intestines is of great significance as to how the mucus membrane of the intestines can protect us. It has also been discovered that the lactic acid bacteria produce substances which stimulate the mucus membranes and at the same time restrict harmful bacteria.

The human digestion
The breaking-down and assimilation function in the intestines is first and foremost a question of the mutual conditions among the different micro-organisms. Billions of bacteria are found here and they should be present in a well-balanced mutual relationship, so that the intestines can function at their best.

Some of these balances are known, certainly not all. It has, for example, been known for centuries that lactic acid bacteria create a healthier environment in the intestines. Today it is known that this has to do with a larger production of certain B-vitamins which takes place when there are sufficient lactic acid bacteria present. Many of the intestines secrets are not yet known, but latest research has shown that the small and large intestines produce just as many hormones as the hormone-producing glands in the brain. Most people regard the intestines as the human body's exhaust pipe functioning only as a canal through which there is transit. But here we are probably greatly mistaken.

The causes of imbalance in intestinal flora
The causes are many, e.g.

1. Poor foods which partly lack vital substances, one of the reasons being the use of artificial fertilizers.
2. Foods which contain poisons due to the use of chemical sprays and additives.
3. The consumption of too much sugar, coffee, nicotine, alcohol, medicine etc.
4. Poor eating habits! Most people chew their food far too little and so prevent further digestive processes.
5. Poor food metabolism: imbalance in gastric juices etc, again due to the above conditions.
6. Breathing in polluted air.
7. Polluted drinking water.
8. Too little exercise.
9. Stress in the body on various levels. This stress can be of a physical, emotional or psychological nature.

All this results in poorly functioning intestines, from milder symptoms like constipation or diarrhoea, wind and abdominal pains, to the more serious symptoms like inflammation, haemorrhage or cancer of the intestines.

In the human intestines food is broken down for assimilation through the intestinal wall and for further transport via the blood and lymph tracts to the different cells in the body. When waste products are accumulated in the intestines they are sent out into the body. A weak or strong constitution determines how long it will take before the individual concerned gets what we call symptoms or illness. It is the immune system that takes charge and ensures that the body relieves itself of unwanted matter. On the other hand, the immune system is also dependant on well- functioning intestines and cell metabolism. All is therefore connected with the intestines and their function or dysfunction.

Usage of Vita Biosa as a nutritional supplement
Vita Biosa is taken as a nutritional supplement in dosages from a teaspoonful up to 100 ml. Usually 10 ml are recommended, once to three times daily. Most people will benefit by taking it with meals. However, it can also be taken between meals. Drink either undiluted or with a small glass of water. For children over 1 year a daily dosage of 5 to 10 ml is recommended.
