More About This Product:

Background
Replete is a seven day microbial replacement programme for the gastrointestinal tract. It contains concentrated probiotic cultures together with high concentrations of fructooligosaccharides (F.O.S.). The F.O.S. helps to ensure rapid establishment and dominance of the Replete probiotic cultures.

When taken, the three strains each begin to attach in their preferred areas of the epithelial tissue in the intestinal tract so that no ecological niche is left uncolonised. (In simpler terms, the ‘good’ bacteria gain dominance over the ‘bad’ bacteria.)

Benefits and Features of Replete
· A unique formula providing three strains of beneficial bacteria in a base of freeze dried apricots
· Fructooligosaccharides (F.O.S.) when ingested, provide a specific food source for the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria
· Provides 30 billion organisms per sachet which rapidly replenishes intestinal flora
· An ideal dietary formula especially after antibiotic use
· Organisms of human compatible origin which are not derived from bovine sources
· MicroCell microencapsulated for protection against degradation during storage
· Dairy free
· Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Contra-indications: Not suitable for individuals suffering from colitis, gastric ulcers or intestinal obstruction. Not recommended for individuals with diabetes. In these instances take BioCare Bio-Acidophilus instead.

NB: In some instances, Replete may initially increase flatulence and bloating and cause diarrhoea. If discomfort continues reduce intake to half a sachet, or postpone finishing the Replete and take BioCare Bio-Acidophilus first. Then try again.

Essential Fatty Acids

Fatty acids are the basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats. The body can synthesize many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet. These are called essential fatty acids (EFAs).

Fatty acids are classified as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated – depending on the amount of hydrogen in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.

(The process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves adding hydrogen to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a saturated, solid oil, such as margarine).

Many nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids. (The terms omega-3 and omega-6 refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the fatty acid molecule.) Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in the diet and decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some hydrogenated oils, may help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.

Essential fatty acids offer profound benefits. They help:

Influence hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular health.
Maintain the structure and function of the cellular and sub-cellular membranes.
Regulate cholesterol transport, degradation and removal from the body.
Influence prostaglandins – hormone-like substances that promote smooth muscle contractions, regulate blood pressure, regulate gastric secretions, and impact other hormones – through a series of enzyme-dependent reactions.
Support normal growth, especially of blood vessels and nerves.
Keep skin and other tissue youthful and supple by lubricating abilities.

EFAs are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola, sunflower and safflower oils. Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil, containing both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts. Cold saltwater fatty fish – such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.

The most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Omega 6 and omega 3 oils may not be suitable for individuals taking anti-blood clotting drugs such as Warfarin, Coumarin and Heparin.

GLA (Evening Primrose Oil) may not be suitable for people suffering from epilepsy. Fish oils may not be suitable for people allergic to fish.
