How GR10 Ultra supports gut health
GR10 Ultra is a dietary supplement that supports the regeneration
of the intestinal microbiome after an antibiotic therapy.
The purpose of an antibiotic therapy is to rid the gut of all
pathogenic germs, but unfortunately the “good” ones are also lost
during this procedure.
After finishing the antibiotics, the gut becomes recolonised. It is
now important to ensure that it is colonised by “good”
bacteria and not by “bad” ones.
Sources of bad germs can be, for example, an unhealthy diet or a
partner with a poor gut flora (who transmits it through everyday
contact or, for example, by kissing). The same applies to children
and pets. During recolonisation one automatically picks up germs
from them as well, in the worst case less favourable ones.
The gut is a huge ecosystem with more bacteria than there are
stars in the universe, and a small proportion of these are always
“bad” bacteria.
The aim is therefore not to drive out the bad ones 100%, which is
not possible, but to keep the mass of “good” bacteria, as found in
GR10 Ultra, so large that the “bad” ones are suppressed and no
longer have an effect.
The included lactic acid bacteria are true all-rounders when it
comes to regenerating the microbiome after an antibiotic therapy.
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 a large proportion of
the microorganisms in the colon [1]. Once established, they
ferment indigestible carbohydrates such as fibre into short-chain
fatty acids [2]. These not only act as an energy source for the
intestinal mucosa but also inhibit the growth of potentially
pathogenic germs [3]. The beneficial bifidobacteria thus create an
environment in which other helpful gut inhabitants feel at home and
can settle.
Members of the Lactobacillus genus are regarded as true
multitalents in the field of gut health. L. acidophilus, L. casei,
L. paracasei, L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus can convert lactose
into lactic acid and thereby positively influence the pH in the gut
[4]. They make it harder for undesirable bacteria to colonise the
intestinal mucosa. Research has shown that carefully selected
Lactobacillus strains can accelerate the recovery of the microbiome
after an antibiotic-induced disturbance [5, 6]. They contribute to
the maintenance of diversity, promote beneficial symbionts and
improve the gut’s barrier function [7].
The spectrum of GR10 Ultra is complemented by Streptococcus
thermophilus. This bacterium is especially known from yoghurt
production, where it works together with Lactobacillus bulgaricus
to thicken milk. In the gut, S. thermophilus helps to counteract
antibiotic-induced changes in microbiota composition [8]. It
fosters the establishment 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 natural regeneration processes of the gut. A healthy balance of the gut flora is restored more quickly by promoting beneficial microbes and inhibiting harmful ones. This benefits not only digestion but also the gut-associated immune system, which depends on an intact gut barrier and a stable microbiome [10].
GR10 Ultra – effective support for your gut flora
The 10 selected bacterial strains act synergistically to restore and stabilise the intestinal ecosystem disrupted by antibiotic treatment. Thanks to the gentle processing in DRcaps, it is ensured that the sensitive microorganisms exert their effect where it is needed. GR10 Ultra not only promotes digestion and gut health but also makes a significant contribution to strengthening the immune system. The product restores your gut flora quickly and reliably with a daily dose of 14 billion organisms – for improved internal wellbeing.
The DRcaps® capsules, which are acid-resistant and vegan, protect the lactic acid bacteria from stomach acid so that they only exert their full effect in the gut.
GR10-Lactis with 10 lactic acid bacteria strains
Lactic acid bacteria make it possible to produce cheese, yoghurt, buttermilk or crème fraîche from milk. GR10-Lactis is ideally suited for long-term use, even for people with lactose intolerance, as it contains 10 different strains that are registered in 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 cultures” are not durable for long and must be used quickly. To guarantee a minimum shelf life of 18 months, the bacterial cultures of WOSCHA GR10-Lactis are therefore gently freeze-dried in a matrix of vegan material. The stomach-acid resistant DRcaps® ensure that the bacteria survive the gastrointestinal passage intact. They only dissolve in the lower small intestine, where they are reactivated.
The added fibre inulin consists of short-chain polysaccharides, the fructooligosaccharides (also called oligofructoses).
Significantly improved 2025!
At least 14 billion lactic acid bacteria are guaranteed in each capsule until the best-before date. Previously there were 3 billion per capsule, and even then the product was of very high quality and had been very popular for years under the Woscha Gr. 10-Lactis brand. Now it is unbeatable: the small price increase is far lower than the quality improvement with the new edition under the Podomedi brand natura felix!
DRcaps® capsules – for reliable targeting of all nutrients
Roughly speaking, digestion has 4 sections:
- The oral cavity, where some nutrients can already be absorbed. Therefore these should preferably be taken as a lozenge or drops, e.g. vitamin B12 or melatonin.
- The stomach with its aggressive acid. In rare cases it is good
for nutrients to be exposed to the acid. For example, a main task
of the acid is to denature dietary proteins to prepare them for
splitting in the small intestine. Very often, however, substances
are better protected from the acid.
- The small intestine. This is where the bulk of digestion takes
place. Shortly after the stomach empties into the small intestine,
it has two openings in its wall: one through which bile flows into
the small intestine for fat digestion, and the other through which
the enzymes of the pancreas enter.
- The colon. Only little food splitting and digestion takes place here, but it is still important: for example, toxins are absorbed here, ideally by abundant dietary fibre, but, with a fibre-free diet, unfortunately by the intestinal wall. Some substances are still split here and provide further important nutrients for the body or for the gut bacteria. Substances that promote or improve this process are called probiotics.
An ordinary gelatin 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 colon, their site of action, in sufficient numbers.
- There are substances in capsules that, when pure, unfortunately
taste or smell unpleasant. For example, because they are bitter or
contain sulphur. You do not want these in your mouth, nor do you
want the taste if some of it comes back up by belching.
- There have been cases reported in which the bacteria found their way into the bile duct, travelled through it into the liver and led to life-threatening illnesses. The body is, of course, not sufficiently protected against this, because it is not customary in normal nutrition for highly concentrated live bacterial strains to be released in the stomach, unless from spoiled food!
Acid-resistant capsules such as DRcaps do not dissolve in the
stomach but reach the small intestine and a few centimetres
further, past the two duct openings, to an area where the capsule
dissolves without posing a problem either for the capsule contents
or for our health.
Strictly speaking, DRcaps are not completely acid-resistant.
There are such capsules, sometimes used in medicine, and they are
significantly more expensive than DRcaps. DRcaps merely lead to a
delayed disintegration (“Delayed Release”, abbreviation: DR). This
means the disintegration of the capsules is delayed until they are
in the small intestine and no longer in the stomach. The capsules
only begin to break down about 50 minutes after intake, compared
with conventional capsules, which already break down after 5
minutes. Another 20 minutes later they are completely dissolved,
and the active ingredients are fully released in the small
intestine, where they are absorbed through the intestinal wall.
This reduces their loss compared with non-acid-resistant capsules.
These positive properties are not achieved with chemicals. The capsules are 100% plant-based (vegan) and contain no gluten. In addition, they are free from chemical additives and solvents. They also hold Halal and Kosher certificates. Thus they meet the various requirements for a product that is natural, healthy and pure.

High-quality formulations from the Netherlands
The products of podo medi are largely influenced by the naturopathic experience of its co-founder Wolfgang P. Schallmey. However, he has been retired since 2020, which is why the brand "Woscha" is becoming "natura felix". The tried-and-tested formulations will largely remain unchanged. What is changing significantly, besides the logo, is the packaging of many products. Thus there is an increasing switch from plastic to more environmentally friendly cardboard containers.

Compatible with GR10-Lactis
Professional refrigerated shipping in environmentally friendly packaging Temperature-sensitive items such as lactic acid bacteria or omega-3 oils should only be shipped in refrigerated packaging at high outside temperatures so that your products arrive undamaged. In addition to our low-cost light version in the form of camping ice packs, which keep goods slightly cooler for 12–18 hours, we also offer this cooling version, which keeps products cold for significantly longer. We obtain these from Podomedi, but not as a regular product — instead we occasionally place chilled orders there ourselves and keep the cooling packs for our customers. Therefore we always have only a limited supply. For this reason, and also because we make no profit on this product but, on the contrary, sell it slightly below our purchase price, a maximum of one cooling pack can be added to an order. In our experience, in orders with refrigerated shipping that take 2–3 days from Podomedi Netherlands to us, the cooling pads still contained frozen ice, meaning these cooling packs reliably keep your goods cold for at least 2 to a little over 3 days, i.e. for the entire usual DHL transit time! The cooling pack consists of a hemp thermal bag that 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 with no chemicals. They can be easily refrozen and used again. To protect goods from excessive heat, in summer or at temperatures above 25 degrees we only ship heat‑sensitive products from Monday to Wednesday. Heat‑sensitive items include: All omega‑3 oils, whether in capsules or bottles Microbiotics such as capsules containing lactic acid bacteria or other digestion‑supporting microbes All types of enzymes At extremely high temperatures from 30 degrees upwards we recommend postponing the purchase until temperatures are lower. Of course our customers can decide this themselves. However, we will refuse returns on the grounds of “heat damage” if the weather conditions were known at the time of purchase AND the parcel had a normal transit time, i.e. was not, for example, excessively delayed due to a DHL error AND no cooling pack was deliberately selected at the time of purchase. Of course we also apply some judgement. We know which products are supplied by the manufacturer with sufficient heat protection to withstand 1–2 days in warmth, e.g. by the addition of vitamin E, and which are rather very sensitive, and we contact customers if necessary before shipping to ensure safe delivery.
For greater safety in summer All temperature-sensitive products from the manufacturers in our range of dietary supplements, feed, etc. are designed to withstand a short rise in ambient temperature. Microbiotics generally prefer it cool. To compensate for losses during shipping and storage from the outset, substantially more is filled into the capsules than is declared on the pack. The aim is that the capsules still contain as many viable bacteria at the end of the best-before date as were stated. Fish oils, algal oil and krill oil are protected from oxidation by the addition of vitamin E. According to our manufacturers, a slight temperature increase for 1–2 days during transit does not harm them; after that they should be stored cool again or, depending on the product, refrigerated. To protect goods from excessive heat, in summer or at temperatures above 25 °C we ship such products only from Monday to Thursday. At extremely high temperatures from 30 °C we recommend postponing the purchase until they drop again. Of course our customers can decide for themselves. However, we refuse to 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 shipping! When purchasing heat-sensitive products (microbiotics, enzymes, oils) we recommend booking refrigerated shipping, which can easily be done via the purchase function; this is set up with us as a normal product. We then include cooling packs — as many as you buy — and insulate the goods particularly well. The more you purchase, the safer and cooler the transport. The insulation and the -18 °C temperature of the cooling packs are sufficient to cool the goods significantly for 12–24 hours. Even if they perhaps no longer arrive cool at the customer's address, the heat exposure during transport will then have been significantly below what the manufacturers specify as the maximum limit. And our customers also receive an additional benefit: these are ordinary cooling packs that are hardly any cheaper to buy in shops. That means they can simply be reused at home afterwards. The cooling packs are suitable for a temperature range from -18 °C to +40 °C, so, for example, they can also be used as a heat pack to apply to tense muscles or similar. Safety notice: The cooling packs are sealed and are not intended to be opened, have their contents removed, or consumed!
