When selecting our raw materials, we have made sure to use highly active bacterial strains. These are produced under strict quality controls using modern fermentation processes that exclude contact with genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified bacterial strains are often cultivated on the market for cost reasons.
Our Flora Immune Defence consists of a selected mixture of two special strains of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum LP28, Lactobacillus rhamnosus LRH113), vitamin C and dietary fibre. These bacteria are cultivated under standardised and controlled conditions. The fermentation process is followed by purification and gentle freeze-drying to optimise the vitality of the lactic acid bacteria. In addition, important metabolic products of the lactic acid bacteria are also retained in the end product. The two selected Lactobacillus strains are characterised by an excellent ability to survive even in high concentrations of bile salts and the conditions of the digestive tract. For technical production reasons, microcrystalline cellulose is used as a carrier in this product. This enables more precise dosing of the fine powder.
We deliberately combine the lactic acid bacteria with our buffered vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate - for the normal function of the immune system and to support the body's defences - and with hydrolysed guar gum Sunfiber®️ from the Indian guar bean. The dietary fibres serve as a food source for bifido- and lactobacteria.
We use enteric-coated DR® Caps (delayed-release) capsules made from a plant-based cellulose (HPMC) to ensure that the bacteria only develop optimally after passing through the stomach. We use light-protected and environmentally friendly amber glass instead of plastic for the packaging.
