Why do infant need Probiotics?

When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is lowered, problems begin to arise such as excessive gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation and poor absorption of nutrients. Whilst it is true that non-beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring in the intestinal tract problems begin when their growth goes unchecked. Probiotics play an especially important role in keeping in check the pathogenic bacteria that cause disease.

A healthy lower intestine should contain at least 85% friendly bacteria to prevent the over colonisation of disease causing micro organisms like E.coli and Salmonella.

Infants immune defences are not yet fully working . Babies pick up friendly bacteria from their mothers during their passage through a clean and healthy birth canal. Studies show that B. infantis was found in approximately 60% of full-term newborns who were born vaginally and only 9% of babies born by Caesarean Section. Formula fed babies also have significant differences from breastfed babies in the composition of their gut microflora because the heat used to pasteurise formula kills all bacteria.

How to take Udo's Choice Infant's Blend:

To maintain healthy intestinal and oral flora - Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon once a day in formula or other liquid. As an intensive treatment - Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon three times a day in formula or other liquid when suffering from intestinal disorders.

Product Description

A convenient and easy-to-use synergistic blend of the finest green foods, essential fatty acids, fibre, and whole food concentrates, phytonutrients, antioxidants and digestive enzymes. Greens are the foundation of health. Our diet is unbalanced when it lacks the recommended five to nine daily servings of fresh green foods. Udo's Choice Beyond Greens supports a hectic lifestyle and diets that are lacking in fresh, whole foods and fibre.

What are Greens?

Greens are the basic foundation of health. The diet is unbalanced when it lacks the recommended amount of five to nine daily servings of fresh, green foods and consists mainly of processed convenient foods with little nutritional value. Greens are the primary food on our planet. They have been an endless food source for living creatures and form the foundation of human health and regeneration. Chlorophyll-rich plants make Earth the green planet and where green plants cannot grow, we cannot live. Green sources include alfalfa, the grasses of barley, oat and rye, which supply natural minerals, vitamins and trace nutrients as well as protein-rich chlorella and Spirulina. The best vegetable sources are broccoli, parsley and kale.

How should we use greens?

Fresh organic greens are best because they are rich in essential nutrients. Organic greens can be juiced or blended for easier digestion, steamed or boiled. They can also be dried, like Udos Choice Beyond Greens, for long-term storage which is especially important for busy people.

Udo's for Sport

Whilst Udo's Oil has long been known for it's many general health benefits, it has more recently become popular amongst sports men and women to assist them in reaching their full sporting potential. Good nutrition plays a key role in any sporting field and getting the right "foundation" fats within the body will serve you well in achieving your nutritional goals.

Whilst many people supplement their diet with fish oils it is important to remember that such supplements are precisely that - supplements, and provide only about 1 - 5 grams of fat per day. Our total daily intake of fat is often between 75 and 125 grams. It is therefore more important to assess the make up of these "foundation" fats.

For optimum cellular performance it is important to ensure that the body gets enough Essential Fatty Acids (the DPA and EPA in Fish Oils are not Essential Fatty Acids), and in the right proportion. Including Udos Choice Ultimate Oil Blend in your diet plan provides your body with these Essential Fatty Acids in the right proportion (2:1 Omega 3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid : Omega 6 Linoleic Acid).

What are Essential Fats?

Scientists have given essential fats their name because the body must have them to survive, but cannot synthesise them from any other substance we eat so a direct food source is required. Hence the name essential.

There are many kinds of fats but only two kinds of essential fats, omega 3 and omega 6, both of which are unsaturated fats. Each EFA is turned into several derivatives by the body, provided enough undamaged omega 3 and omega 6 is supplied in the right ratio. All other fats, such as omega 9 (monounsaturated), omega 7 and saturated fat are non-essential as the body can produce them from sugars and starches.

Where do Essential Fats come from?

Omega 3 essential fatty acids come from flaxseeds and green leafy vegetables and Omega 6 essential fatty acids are found in seeds and nuts including sesame and sunflower seeds.

Udos Choice Ultimate Oil Blend Ingredients

Flax seed oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame seed oil, coconut oil, evening primrose oil (13 mg gla/15ml), soy lecithin, rice bran and rice germ oils, oat bran and oat germ oils, tocotrienol. The oils in this blend supply a range of fatty acids including 2:1:1 ratio of omega 3,6 and 9.

Product Description

Udos Choice Ultimate Digestive Enzyme Blend is a complete blend of ten active plant-based enzymes, assisting the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, sugars and fibre, aiding a healthy digestion and nutrient absorption. Udos Digestive Enzymes support a hectic lifestyle and modern diets that are lacking in enzyme-containing raw foods (these naturally occurring enzymes are often lost in the preparation and cooking processes).

Udo's Choice Ultimate Digestive Enzyme Blend Ingredients

150 mg of pure vegetable source enzyme blend with the following guaranteed activity:

In a base of beetroot fibre in easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules.

Digestive Enzyme blend:

• Guarantees enzyme activity - the primary, internationally accepted standard for manufacture and measurement of enzyme activity is the Food Chemical Codex (FCC). The Udo's Choice Digestive Blend is made according to FCC methods and uses the FCC unit measuring system to define enzyme potency/activity.
• A full range of ten different digestive enzymes - required to break down and metabolise the full range of food types - protein, fat, starch, soluble and insoluble fibre, milk sugar, and other complex sugars.
• A super-rich source of protein-digesting enzymes - we use at least five kinds of proteases/proteinases as undigested proteins are the main cause of the food-related digestive complaints that are rampant in our society - especially in those over 40 years old, but sometimes even in children.
• Precision and Balance - this Enzyme Blend contains high potency enzymes to replace those destroyed during the cooking and processing of foods. The enzyme combinations it contains are deliberately chosen and precisely balanced to optimise the body's utilisation of nutrients.
• The Preferred Packaging in Vegetable Capsules - which, unlike tablets, can be pulled apart to mix the enzymes into foods 15-30 minutes before they are eaten for maximum results.
• Beetroot fibre is used as a primary filler - which is unrelated to wheat and safe for those allergic to wheat, gluten or gliadin.
• 100% Plant-based Digestive Enzyme Help - this Digestive Enzyme Blend is made from 100% vegetarian-source aspergillus and other micro-organisms. The enzymes produced by the micro-organisms we use have a strong record of safe use in the food industry and are suitable for both vegetarians and meat eaters.
 

What are Digestive Enzymes?

The human body makes more than 3,000 kinds of enzymes that speed up chemical reactions and save energy. Digestive enzymes, which are only a few of the thousands of known enzymes, break down the foods we eat into basic building blocks that our body then absorbs and reassembles to build cells, tissues, organs, glands and body systems. If our digestion is compromised then so is our health. No matter what we eat all our foods are made from proteins, fats, carbohydrates and a few other complex molecules. Each require different enzymes to break them down into amino acids, fatty acids, glucose and other basic building blocks. Protease digests proteins; lipase digests fats; amylase digests starch; etc.

Where do Digestive Enzymes come from?

Two main sources:
1. Internal: the digestive system secretes a few digestive enzymes in the mouth and stomach, but most are secreted by the pancreas and small intestine; and
2. External: foods that are raw, sprouted or soaked or supplements of digestive enzymes from plant or animal sources.
