Fermented Foods for a Healthy Gut

Fermented foods are an amazing way you can incorporate healthy bacteria into your gut. 

Studies show that fermented foods can help better absorption of foods, better digestion, and the ability of the body to use vitamins and minerals. Fermented foods can also aid in anyone who has a food intolerance or food sensitive. Also the association between brain and gut connection has been made by what bacteria is in your gut. Its so important to keep healthy bacteria into your diet. Foods such as kimchi, kefir, miso, and fruits/vegetables that are fermented are a great way of getting these healthy bacteria. 

Another way of making sure your getting all these wonderful healthy bacteria is through our Fermented Food capsules. 

Fermented Food contains within the capsule a paste of over 70 natural organic botanical ingredients that include seaweed, mushrooms, vegetables, medicinal herbs, grains and cereals, cultivated and wild fruits, perilla oil. They are naturally fermented for 3 years. It may contain many strains of live lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as they are added to assist in the fermentation process. LAB are very essential for good digestive health and to strengthen the body's immune system. It will bring back balance of friendly microbiota.

Fermented Food (previously LB17) is produced from over 70 natural and organic ingredients such as: 

Seaweed, Kombu, Fucus, brown algae, Hibamata from Norway 

Mushrooms: Shiitake, Maitake, Agaricus brazei murill 

Vegetables: Kale, Cabbage, Broccoli, Komatsuna, Mugwort, Young leaves of Barley 

Medicinal herbs: Nihon-yama-ninjin or Japanese ginseng

Grains and cereals: soya bean, unpolished rice

Cultivated and wild fruits: apples, oranges, berries, lemon, persimon, guomi, akebi, Chinese matrimony

Lactic acid or good bacteria is added to begin the stimulate and begin the fermentation process.

The above ingredients are allowed to ferment naturally for a period of 3 years. Due to the way that the fermented food is exposed to extremes in temperature (summer and winter) during the fermentation process, any good bacteria present is potent, resilient and able to stay alive for up to 3 years at room temperature without the need for refrigeration. Any bacteria is live and viable and does not need to be revived, better than most other probiotics particularly those that are"freeze dried"!

Prior to encapsulation with a vegetable gel cap, Perilla oil (high in Omega 3 EFA) is added to provide Omega EFA (essential fatty acids). 

Fermented Food does not contain any preservatives, additives, colouring, or artificial flavouring.

Fermented Food is suitable for vegans as well as the "raw foods practitioner". It is very useful to the lactose intolerant and milk protein (caesin) sensitive individuals. The bacteria that may be present helps to break down all nutrients consumed into smaller molecules so that they can be better absorbed by the body.

The concentrate in each vegetable softgel capsule of Fermented Food may contain bacteria, digestive enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

This is such an easy way of getting in the good bacteria every day your body needs!
