How much bacteria does FermPlus contain?

Before answering your question we will explain the way bacteria are measured.

Most companies shake up their bacteria to separate the bacteria out of their colonies to get individual counts in the Millions or Billions. When you understand that bacteria work in colonies not individually this doesn’t make sense. We need to know how many alive and healthy bacteria colonies there are as this is how they work together.

For example, Acidophilus tends to colonise around the lower part of the digestive system, which means if you only take Acidophilus you are neglecting the rest of your digestive tract. This is why having just one or two bacteria in a formula is of little value.

A broad-spectrum probiotic (like in FermPlus) helps support and colonize the whole system.

FermPlus has a minimum of 27 million colonies per gram. Now multiply this by thousands (as there are thousands in each colony) and times by 5 to get a 5gm serve (a teaspoon) and you have a figure in at least the billions.

The next thing to take into account is the fact that the FermPlus bacteria are stronger for many reasons - they have been bred to withstand the usual substances that diminish bacteria – heat, cold, pesticides, preservatives and much more, making them a far more active and alive than commercially produced bacteria. They can even survive 12% Alcohol.

One other point is the bacteria have been bred from food, (this is where man originally got his bacteria) unlike most companies who use the less expensive way of producing bacteria with dairy as their base, or some even use soil based organisms. What is most important is that the bacteria in FermPlus are alive in the pot. The bacteria feed on the wholefoods and keep on multiplying after it is made, unlike a tablet or capsule. The wholefoods also act as a prebiotic.

The extra advantage is that the bacteria have broken down the wholefoods that they are in and now the nutrients from these foods are more readily available for absorption.

To our knowledge no other product offers such a power packed powder.
