Opis

I.A. 121 – GASTROCARE Complete Biotics capsules are a scientifically designed blend of beneficial bacteria and inulin.

  • To support optimal functioning of the gut microbiome.*

I.B. KThe capsules are intended for:

  • For people with digestive problems, both diarrhea and constipation.
  • People with compromised immune systems.
  • People who travel to foreign countries.
  • For older people.

I.C. Developed and manufactured in Slovenia in production facilities with GMP, IFS, ISO9001, and BIO certifications.

I.C.1 High-quality packaging ensures the durability of ingredients

Packaged in gastro-resistant vegan/cellulose capsules (AR-HPMC):

  • Excellent protection of live bacteria (CFU) against decay and contamination.
  • Excellent protection for live bacteria, their metabolites, and inulin against stomach acid. The capsule delivers good bacteria directly to where they are needed.
  • The capsules are vegan (HPMC) and contain no traces of ingredients of animal origin.

Packaged in blister packs:

  • Excellent protection against contamination.
  • Improved stability of capsules and ingredients, especially live bacteria (protection against moisture and oxygen).

I.C.2. High-quality ingredients, sensible recipes, from high-quality production

GastroCare Complete Biotics 121 contains carefully selected high-quality ingredients, and Herba Medica also carefully checks the quality and reliability of its raw material suppliers and bases its products on sensibly measured ingredients and their synergies. The manufacturer of the probiotic mixture is one of the highest quality and one of the first manufacturers of so-called “probiotics” in the world, with almost 90 years of tradition in this field, as they began producing bacteria for supplements in 1934.

Herba Medica has decades of experience in the field of teas and supplements, and all aspects of our production are supervised by NIJZ, JAZMP, and EFSA regulators, as well as GMP, IFS, BIO E-kon-Cert, and ISO 9001 authorities. Our products are microbiologically tested by independent laboratories.

I.C.3. Environmentally friendly production

The probiotic blend is produced in Sacco Systems' environmentally friendly manufacturing facility. Sacco Systems is a multiple gold and silver award winner of EcoVadis, one of the leading assessors of corporate environmental responsibility. This means that they were among the top 1% companies assessed worldwide.

Herba Medica reduced its CO2 emissions of 2.84 tons per year and holds the Green Dot certificate.

* Based on clinical studies cited under point [1] in the Story tab.

** The European regulator EFSA does not allow the use of the terms probiotic, prebiotic, postbiotic, or synbiotic for marketing purposes due to insufficiently convincing general clinical studies. However, the extent to which a specific mixture of good bacteria contributes to the balance of good bacteria in the intestine can be referenced by the seller in their own clinical studies, as in the case of the NEW BIO-I 10S mixture.

Frequently asked questions

Current probiotics on the market compete with an ever-increasing number of different types of bacteria and a higher number of CFUs. However, each strain has specific effects on the intestine, so the optimality of the strain mixture is extremely important, not just the number, as bacteria compete with each other for nutrients. Too many strains mean that certain, less aggressive strains quickly die out. Too many bacteria mean that the added bacteria destroy the balance of bacteria in the gut. There are more than 200 different genera (genus) of bacteria in the gut! The mixture of bacteria in GastroCare Complete Biotics 121 is based on the idea of limiting the number of genera and species of bacteria while increasing the number of strains of the same species. The idea is that certain strains of the same species develop more in certain people, while others develop more in others. This ensures that the mixture is optimal for as many people as possible.

No existing clinical study on any type of probiotic, prebiotic, postbiotic, or synbiotic has achieved a general health consensus (agreement), so the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) does not allow any health claims for any type of probiotic or prebiotic. The terms prebiotic, probiotic, and synbiotic are prohibited for marketing purposes in the EU. Herba medica, d. o. o. therefore uses the term Complete Biotics, referring to the type of content (bacteria) rather than its effectiveness in treating any health problems (such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics). To ensure the optimality of the dietary supplement, we use a mixture from a leading probiotic manufacturer with more than 70 years of experience in this field. All strains in this blend have been clinically tested, and two studies of the blend are cited in the Story tab under number [1]. Be aware of the use of these terms in competing products.

Bacteria are living organisms. CFU indicates the number of live bacteria in the formulation. True “probiotics” contain live bacteria, but they are dried so that they do not develop in the supplement, but “come to life” in the human body. Because they are living organisms, it is extremely important to maintain the highest quality standards for probiotic products in terms of the supplier, transport to the supplement production facility, storage, packaging, and shelf life. Probiotic bacteria cannot survive stomach acid. The stomach is part of the immune system and protects the body from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses with acid. For a probiotic to be useful to the body, the live bacteria must be stored in a gastro-resistant capsule, i.e., a capsule that survives stomach acid. Later, in the intestine, this capsule must break down. In practice, this is done by using capsules made of acid-resistant materials that break down in the more alkaline environment of the intestine. GastroCare Complete Biotics 121 capsules are just that, but to ensure the highest quality for the user, we use gastro-resistant capsules made from natural ingredients (specifically cellulose).

In biology, we all learned about the classification of living organisms according to Carl Linnaeus' system. The categories in this classification include family, genus, species, and strain. The most widespread genera in the intestine and the most commonly used genera in supplements are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Probiotic bacteria genera differ in terms of their metabolism. For example, Lactobacillus produces lactic acid (specifically lactate) during metabolism, which is why they are also called lactic acid bacteria. We all have these bacteria in our bodies and they do not cause milk allergies. Bifidobacteria, on the other hand, use sugars as food during metabolism, i.e. they break down sugars in the food we eat. The species differ in their effects. For example, Lactobacillus rhamnosus is the most researched due to its possible positive effects on the immune system or its ability to help with leaky gut. The strains differ genetically the least. Usually, the difference is less than 0.5 % of the bacterial genome. The effects of bacteria of the same species but different strains are basically the same (but it is possible that they differ minimally). The biggest difference is that a particular strain works better for some people, while other strains work better for others. GastroCare Complete Biotics 121 is a blend optimized according to the latest scientific findings. It uses the two most commonly used and widespread genera and, for each genus, one or two of the most commonly used species, as well as several strains of the same species, in order to ensure that the mixture is effective in as large a part of the population as possible.

I am very careful about my diet, especially since my first pregnancy, and therefore I also pay attention to the quality of supplements. I started taking probiotics during pregnancy. There is a lot of misinformation about probiotics from people who are more concerned with marketing than with the expertise of the products. These are live bacteria, so carefully selected strains are the main criterion. I don't want to use untested strains straight from the laboratory. GastroCare 121 capsules were the first probiotic capsules packaged in gastro-resistant capsules. Logically, when bacteria are not protected in this way, they are killed by stomach acid. That is why I do not need supplements with 100 billion CFU. (NDLR: The image is symbolic due to customer privacy protection)

II. A scientifically considered combination of beneficial intestinal bacteria and inulin in the most suitable packaging

121 – GastroCare Complete Biotics® Life Enhancer capsules are a high-quality dietary supplement containing a patented blend of clinically tested lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli) and bifidobacteria. NEW BIO-I 10S®.[1]

II.A. Scientifically proven quality of intestinal bacteria

The mixture of intestinal bacteria contains 10 of the most researched and clinically tested strains of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus, plantarum, reuteri, and rhanosus, and Bifidobacterium animalis lacti and breve). The selected premium strains are designed to support the establishment of a balance of good bacteria in the body.

The manufacturer of this mixture is one of the highest quality and one of the first manufacturers of so-called “probiotics” in the world, with almost 90 years of tradition in this field, as they began producing bacteria for supplements in 1934.

Current probiotics on the market compete with an ever-increasing number of different types of bacteria and higher CFU counts. However, certain strains have specific effects on the intestine, so supplements with intestinal bacteria should not focus on numbers that are easy for users to understand, but rather on the optimality of mixtures of genera, species, and strains for the specific problem being addressed. BIO-I 10S is a mixture of strains designed to support healthy intestinal flora.

In addition, probiotics cannot develop without sufficient nutrients. Bacteria (known as probiotics) combined with long-chain fibers that can serve as food for these bacteria (known as prebiotics) are more effective.

II.B. Supplement with added long-chain fibers from chicory (inulin)

Intestinal bacteria also need food. The food we eat has a strong influence on the development of existing bacteria in our intestines and also on the survival and development of bacteria ingested from supplements. Sugar, for example, reduces the diversity of bacteria in the gut. Regular consumption of large amounts of carbohydrates and sugars and the metabolism of these molecules in the gut are two of the main factors that can also lead to metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.

For the past ten years or so, various long plant fibers have been added to high-quality supplements containing good bacteria. The idea is that these fibers swell with water in the large intestine, protecting the intestinal wall from permeability while also providing food for good bacteria. The first and one of the main candidates for such raw materials, scientifically known as prebiotics, is inulin. However, the European Union does not allow the use of the words pre-, pro-, or post-biotic for any raw material or supplement due to insufficient scientific consensus. It does, however, allow the claim that inulin increases the feeling of satiety, as it acts via GLP-1 receptors (like the drug Ozempic, but clearly to a lesser extent).

II.C. High-quality packaging – to protect the bacteria from moisture and air, as well as stomach acid

The capsules are gastro-resistant cellulose AR-HPMC capsules. These capsules are made from hypromellose (HPMC). They are plant-based (HPMC) and are also resistant to stomach acid (AR). This allows the bacteria and inulin to survive stomach acid and safely reach the site of action where the body needs them – the intestines.

The capsules are packaged in blister packs, just like medicines, to protect the live bacteria and chicory extract from moisture, oxygen, and pathogens in the environment.
