By the time we reach adulthood, there are over 400 different species with a total population of
100 trillion bacteria (approximately 20 times more than the number of human cells in the
body) present in our "intestinal microflora". The bacteria which colonise our bodies may be
maintained between good and bad bacteria in the ratio of 85% to 15%. The maintenance of
this internal balance is necessary to support the normal processes of the body. However, this
delicate balance was disrupted by three major factors :-
Widespread and excessive use of antibiotics which destroy good bacteria as well as the bad.
Furthermore, common pharmaceutical drugs (e.g. birth control pill, antacids, antihistamines,
and pain relievers) as well as social drugs (e.g. alcohol and smoking) upset this balance.
Dramatic change in our diet from the traditional home made meals to the high-sugar, high-fat,
junk food of modern day. These highly processed foods provide little or no nutritional value
and encourage the growth of harmful bacteria. Of further concern is the chemical
contamination of our food, especially meat and other animal products which are often laced
with residues of hormones and antibiotics.
Modern technology and environmental hazards. These include household, workplace and other
environmental chemicals. Furthermore, modern-day stress plays a vital role in adversely affecting the internal balance of bacteria in our intestines. Stress may be any factor - e.g.
difficulties at work, arguments at home, worries about financial issues, being in a hurry, lack
of sleep, etc. - to mention just a few. As a result of stress the function and efficiency of our
digestive processes are altered. The combined effect of these external factors leads to an
imbalance of our internal "intestinal microflora", resulting in a variety of problems. As good
bacteria, most of which are lactic acid bacteria, are critical in maintaining the correct balance
of our "intestinal microflora", the consumption of Ohhira Extract is important in supporting
the balance of the human body.
Modern lifestyles are hard on the human body. At Essential Formulas, we've discovered a line of nourishing whole-health dietary supplements from Japan, which will help bring your body back into a healthy balance.
It took renowned microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira over a decade of research to develop his incredible probiotic and prebiotic blend.
The formula, based on traditional Asian fermentation processes, contains both live probiotics (12 Probiotic Strains) and their prebiotic food supply. This is truly a unique probiotic support system, unlike other probiotics on the market today.
