Microbiotics

The term microbiotics generally refers to all microorganisms on our planet. In the body, microbiotics are mainly found in the intestines (intestinal flora), in the skin (skin flora), but also in the mucous membranes and lungs, for example. There they act in a normal, specific composition as bacteria cultures capable of reproduction, which support the body in a wide variety of functions.

Probiotics - the good bacteria

When you hear about bacteria, it may seem sceptical or even repulsive at first glance. In fact, bacteria often have a bad reputation, and this is quite understandable. However, there are some positive bacteria that work in your favour and for your health - probiotics! Probiotics, often referred to as the faithful allies of our gut and immune system, have become increasingly important in recent years as science has recognised their potential. Whether they are found in the digestive tract, intestines, vagina or oral cavity, probiotics play an important role in our bodies.

What are probiotics and what are they used for?

Probiotics are defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as "live microorganisms that have beneficial effects on health when consumed in adequate amounts". These microorganisms are naturally present in the gut, mouth and vagina. These bacteria play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of intestinal flora, regulating the immune system, promoting healthy digestion and much more. Probiotics support the body in its defence against possible diseases and infections. Specifically, these microorganisms form a protective barrier against harmful bacteria that try to colonise the body and cause disorders such as diarrhoea, constipation, inflammation and other illnesses. They therefore play an indispensable role in the overall immune system. Probiotics are naturally present in our bodies and if there is a deficiency, they can be supplemented by taking probiotic supplements in powder or capsule form. Probiotics are also found in certain foods, including Yoghurt Kefir Gherkins Certain cheeses

1 cold pack per 200 ml, deep-frozen to -18 degrees on dispatch

For more safety in summer All temperature-sensitive products from the manufacturers in our range of food supplements, feed etc. are designed to withstand a brief increase in ambient temperature. Microbiotics generally like it cool. In order to compensate for losses during shipping and storage from the outset, the capsules are filled with considerably more than is declared on the can. The aim is to ensure that the capsules contain as many viable bacteria as stated at the end of the best-before date. Fish oils, algae oil and krill oil are protected from oxidation by the addition of vitamin E. According to our manufacturers, a slight temperature increase of 1-2 days during transport does not affect them, but afterwards they should be stored in a cool place or, depending on the product, in the refrigerator. In order to protect the goods from too much heat, we only dispatch such products from Monday to Thursday in summer or at temperatures above 25 degrees. In the case of extremely high temperatures of 30 degrees and above, we recommend postponing the purchase until these are lower again. Of course, our customers can decide for themselves. However, we refuse to take back products on the grounds of "heat damage" if the weather conditions were known from the outset at the time of purchase. A safe alternative: refrigerated dispatch! When purchasing heat-sensitive products (microbiotics, enzymes, oils), we recommend booking refrigerated shipping, which can be easily done via the purchase function. We then add as many cold packs as you buy and insulate the goods particularly well. The more you buy, the safer and cooler the transport. The insulation and the -18 degree temperature of the cold packs are sufficient to cool the goods significantly for 12-24 hours. Even if the goods arrive at the customer's premises no longer cool, the heat load during transport is significantly lower than the maximum limit specified by the manufacturer. And our customers also get something else in return: these are ordinary cold packs, which are almost impossible to buy cheaper in the shops. This means that they can simply continue to be used in private households afterwards. The cold packs are suitable for a temperature range of -18° Celsius to +40° Celsius, e.g. as a heat pack for applying to tense muscles or similar. Safety note: The cold packs are sealed and are not intended for opening and replacing or consuming the liquid!
