How GR10 Ultra supports gut health
GR10 Ultra is a dietary supplement that supports the regeneration
of the gut microbiome following a course of antibiotics.
The aim of antibiotic treatment is to rid the gut of all
disease-causing germs, but unfortunately the ‘good’ bacteria
are also eliminated in the process.
Once you have finished taking the antibiotics, the gut begins to
repopulate itself. It is now important to ensure that it is repopulated
with ‘good’ bacteria rather than ‘bad’ ones.
Sources of harmful bacteria can include, for example, an unhealthy
diet or a partner with poor gut flora
(which is passed on through everyday contact or, for example, through kissing
). The same applies to children and pets.
You automatically pick up germs from them too during the repopulation process,
and in the worst-case scenario, these may be less beneficial ones.
The gut is a vast ecosystem containing more bacteria than there are
stars in the universe, and a small proportion of these will
always consist of ‘bad’ bacteria.
The aim, therefore, is not to eliminate the ‘bad’ ones 100 per cent, as
that is not possible, but to maintain the mass of ‘good’ bacteria, such as
those contained in Gr10-Ultra, at a level high enough that the
‘bad’ ones are suppressed and no longer have any effect.
The lactic acid bacteria contained in the product are true all-rounders when
it comes to regenerating the microbiome following
a course of antibiotics. Each of the 10 selected strains has
specific roles in rebuilding an intact,
high-performing gut flora.
The bifidobacteria B. bifidum, B. breve, B. lactis and B. longum
are essential components of a healthy gut flora. From
birth, they colonise the gut and, in adulthood,
make up the majority of the microorganisms in the large intestine [1]. Once they have
reached their destination, they break down indigestible carbohydrates such as
dietary fibre into short-chain fatty acids [2]. They act not
only as a source of energy for the intestinal mucosa, but also as
inhibitors of the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria [3].
The beneficial bifidobacteria thus create an environment in which
other helpful gut inhabitants can thrive and colonise.
Members of the Lactobacillus genus are regarded as true
all-rounders when it comes to gut health. L.
acidophilus, L. casei, L. paracasei, L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus
can convert lactose into lactic acid, thereby positively influencing the pH
in the gut [4]. They make it more difficult for undesirable
bacteria to colonise the intestinal mucosa.
Research has shown that carefully selected
Lactobacillus strains can accelerate the recovery of the microbiome following
antibiotic-induced disruption [5, 6]. They help to
maintain diversity, promote beneficial symbiotic bacteria
and improve the gut’s barrier function [7].
The spectrum of GR10 Ultra is complemented by Streptococcus thermophilus
. This bacterium is best known in yoghurt production
, where, together with Lactobacillus bulgaricus, it causes the milk
to thicken. In the gut, S. thermophilus helps to counteract
antibiotic-induced changes in the composition of the microbiota
[8]. It promotes the colonisation of other
lactic acid bacteria and thus contributes to a
diverse microbiome [9].
The 10 bacterial cultures in GR10 Ultra work together to comprehensively and holistically support the gut’s natural regenerative processes. A healthy balance of the gut flora is restored more quickly by promoting beneficial bacteria and inhibiting harmful microbes. This not only benefits digestion, but also the gut-associated immune system, which relies on an intact gut barrier and a stable microbiome [10].
GR10 Ultra – effective support for your gut flora
The 10 selected bacterial strains work synergistically to restore and stabilise the intestinal ecosystem that has been disrupted following a course of antibiotics. Thanks to the gentle processing in DR Caps, it is ensured that the sensitive microorganisms exert their effect exactly where they are needed. GR10 Ultra not only promotes digestion and gut health, but also makes a significant contribution to strengthening the immune system . With a daily dose of 14 billion bacteria, this supplement quickly and reliably restores your gut flora – for greater inner well-being.
The DRcaps® capsules, which are enteric-coated and vegan, protect the lactic acid bacteria from stomach acid, so that they only take full effect once they reach the gut.
GR10-Lactis with 10 strains of lactic acid bacteria
Lactic acid bacteria enable the production of cheese, yoghurt, buttermilk or crème fraîche from milk. GR10-Lactis is ideal for long-term use, even for people with lactose intolerance, as it contains 10 different strains registered with the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ):
- Bifidobacterium bifidum (LA13040®)
- Bifidobacterium breve (LA13050®)
- Bifidobacterium lactis (LA13070®)
- Bifidobacterium longum (LA13080®)
- Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA13100®)
- Lactobacillus casei (LA13120®)
- Lactobacillus paracasei (LA13190®)
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LA13220®)
- Lactobacillus plantarum (LA13200®)
- Streptococcus thermophilus (LA13290®)
‘Live lactic acid cultures’ do not keep for long and must be consumed quickly. To guarantee a best-before date of 18 months, WOSCHA’s bacterial cultures GR10-Lactis are therefore gently freeze-dried in a matrix of vegan material. The gastro-resistant DRcaps® ensure that the bacteria survive the passage through the gastrointestinal tract unscathed. They only dissolve in the lower part of the small intestine, where they are reactivated.
The added dietary fibre, inulin, consists of short-chain complex sugars known as fructooligosaccharides (also called oligofructoses).
Significantly improved in 2025!
We guarantee that each capsule contains 14 billion lactic acid bacteria right up to the best-before date. Previously, there were 3 billion per capsule, and even then the product was of very high quality and has been very popular for years under the brand name Woscha Gr. 10-Latis. Now it’s unbeatable: the slight price increase is significantly lower than the improvement in quality brought about by the new edition under the Podomedi brand natura felix!
DRcaps® capsules – for reliable, targeted delivery of all nutrients
Broadly speaking, digestion consists of 4 stages:
- The oral cavity, where some nutrients can already be absorbed . That is why these should preferably be taken as lozenges or drops, e.g. vitamin B12 or melatonin.
- The stomach, with its aggressive acid. In rare cases,
it is beneficial for nutrients to be exposed to the acid. For example,
the acid’s main function is to denature the proteins in food
in order to prepare them for breakdown in the small intestine.
Very often, however, it is better to protect these substances from the acid
.
- The small intestine. This is where the main part of digestion takes place.
Shortly after the stomach empties into the small intestine, the latter has two
openings in its wall: one through which bile flows into
the small intestine to aid the digestion of fats, and the other through which enzymes
from the pancreas are released.
- The large intestine. Very little further breakdown of food and digestion takes place here, but it is nevertheless important; for example, toxins are absorbed here – ideally from the abundant fibre in the diet, but unfortunately, in the case of a fibre-free diet, also from the intestinal wall. Some substances are also broken down here and provide further important nutrients for the body or for the gut bacteria. Substances that promote or improve this process are called probiotics.
A standard gelatine capsule or a cheap cellulose capsule would dissolve in the stomach and release the bacteria. This can lead to three problems:
- The bacteria are damaged by the acid and no longer reach the large intestine – their site of action – in sufficient quantities.
- There are substances in capsules which, unfortunately, taste or
smell unpleasant when taken on their own. For example, because they are bitter or contain sulphur.
You wouldn’t want these in your mouth, but nor would you want the taste
in your mouth if some of it comes back up
through belching.
- Cases have already been reported where the bacteria found their way into the bile duct, migrated through it into the liver and led to life-threatening conditions. The body is, of course, not adequately protected against this, as in a normal diet it is not common for highly concentrated strains of live bacteria to be released into the stomach, unless through spoiled food!
Gastric-resistant capsules such as DRCaps do not dissolve in the stomach
but make their way into the small intestine and a few
centimetres further, past the two duct nipples, into an
area where the dissolution of the capsule is no longer a problem,
neither for the capsule’s contents nor for our health.
Strictly speaking, DRCaps are not completely enteric-coated.
Such capsules do exist; they are sometimes used in medicine
and are considerably more expensive than DRCaps. DR-Caps merely
result in delayed dissolution (‘Delayed Release’,
abbreviation: DR). This means that the dissolution of the capsules is delayed
until they are, in any case, in the small intestine and no longer in the stomach
. The capsules only begin to disintegrate around 50 minutes after ingestion,
unlike conventional capsules, which disintegrate as early as
5 minutes later. A further 20 minutes later, they are
completely dissolved, and the active ingredients are fully released into the small intestine,
where they are absorbed through the small intestinal wall.
This reduces their loss compared with
non-gastric-resistant capsules.
However, these beneficial properties are not achieved through the use of chemicals. The capsules are 100% plant-based (vegan) and gluten-free. They are also free from chemical additives and solvents. They also hold Halal and Kosher certificates. They therefore meet the various requirements for a product that is natural, healthy and pure.

High-quality formulations from the Netherlands
Podo medi's products are significantly influenced by the naturopathic experience of its co-founder Wolfgang P. Schallmey. However, he has been retired since 2020, which is why the "Woscha" brand has become the "natura felix" brand. The tried-and-tested recipes will remain largely the same. In addition to the logo, the packaging of many products will change significantly. The company is increasingly switching from plastic to more environmentally friendly cardboard cans.

Professional refrigerated delivery in eco-friendly packaging Temperature-sensitive items such as lactic acid bacteria or omega-3 oils should, when outside temperatures are high, only be shipped in refrigerated packaging to ensure your products arrive undamaged. In addition to our affordable ‘Light’ version, which consists ofcamping ice packs that keep the goods slightly cooler for 12–18 hours, we also offer this refrigerated version, which keeps the products cold for considerably longer We source these from Podomedi, though not as a regular product; instead, we place our own orders there from time to time with chilled delivery and set the ice packs aside for our customers . As a result, we only ever have a limited stock. For this reason, and also because we make no profit on this product – on the contrary, we sell them for slightly less than our purchase price – you can add a maximum of 1 cooling pack to an order at a time. In our experience, in orders requiring refrigerated delivery, which take 2–3 days to reach us from Podomedi Netherlands, there was still frozen ice present in the cooling packs; in other words, these cool packs reliably keep your goods cool for at least 2 to just over 3 days – in other words, for the entire standard DHL delivery period! The cooling pack consists of a hemp thermal bag, which is fully compostable, and a reusable cooling pad. The hemp bag can be disposed of in organic waste or reused many times. The cooling pads are sustainable and filled with pure water, free from chemicals. They can be easily refrozen and reused. To protect the goods from excessive heat, during the summer or when temperatures exceed 25 degrees, we only dispatch heat-sensitive products from Monday to Wednesday. Heat-sensitive products include: All omega-3 oils, whether in capsules or bottles Probiotics such as capsules containing lactic acid bacteria or other digestive-aid microbes All types of enzymes In the event of extremely high temperatures of 30 degrees or above, we recommend postponing your purchase until temperatures have dropped again. Of course, our customers are free to decide for themselves. However, we do not accept returns on the grounds of “heat damage” if the weather conditions were known from the outset at the time of purchase AND the parcel was delivered within the standard delivery time, i.e. it was not delayed for an unreasonably long time due to a DHL error, for example, AND a cooling pack was deliberately not selected at the time of purchase. Naturally, we also take this into account. We know which products are provided by the manufacturer with sufficient heat protection to withstand 1–2 days in warm conditions, e.g. through the addition of vitamin E, and which are more sensitive, and we contact customers before dispatch if necessary to ensure safe delivery.
For greater safety in summer All temperature-sensitive products from the manufacturers in our range of food supplements, animal feed, etc. are designed to withstand a brief rise in ambient temperature without any problems. Probiotics generally prefer cool conditions. To compensate for losses during shipping and storage from the outset, a significantly larger quantity is filled into the capsules than is stated on the tin. The aim is to ensure that, even at the end of the best-before date, the capsules still contain as many viable bacteria as stated. Fish oils, algae oil and krill oil are protected against oxidation by the addition of vitamin E. According to our manufacturers, a slight rise in temperature for 1–2 days during transport does not affect them, but afterwards they should be stored in a cool place again or, depending on the product, in the fridge. To protect the goods from excessive heat, in summer or when temperatures exceed 25 degrees, we only dispatch such products from Monday to Thursday. In the event of extremely high temperatures of 30 degrees or above, we recommend postponing your purchase until temperatures have dropped again. Of course, our customers are free to decide for themselves. However, we do not accept returns of products on the grounds of ‘heat damage’ if the weather conditions were known at the time of purchase. A safe alternative: refrigerated delivery! When purchasing heat-sensitive products (probiotics, enzymes, oils), we recommend booking refrigerated delivery, which can easily be arranged via the checkout function; this is listed on our site as a standard product. We will then include ice packs – as many as you purchase – and take extra care to insulate the goods. The more you purchase, the safer and cooler the transport will be. The insulation and the -18 degrees temperature of the ice packs are sufficient to keep the goods significantly cooler for 12–24 hours. Even if it may no longer be cold when it reaches the customer, the heat exposure during transport will have been well below the maximum limit specified by the manufacturers. And our customers also get added value in return: These are standard ice packs, which are hardly any cheaper to buy in shops. This means they can simply be reused in the home afterwards. The ice packs are suitable for a temperature range of -18° Celsius to +40° Celsius, so they can also be used, for example, as a heat pack to apply to tense muscles or similar. Safety note: The ice packs are sealed and are not intended to be opened, with the contents replaced, or for the liquid to be consumed!
