Ultra Flora

[Guest guest]

I am still researching and in checking our supplements on the illegal list I

noticed Ultra Flora on it.

Is this the Ultra Flora from Metagenics? And can someone tell me why it

would be excluded?

Also the Centinol from Metagencis would it be excluded?

Thank you,

Welcome Becc,

The ultra Flora contains bifidum bacteria which are illegal. For

details please see

If you are looking for legal probiotics please see:

According to http://www.metagenics.com/products/catalog/detail.asp?

pid=97 Centinol contains inositol which is also illegal, it will

feed harmful bacteria. Please see

Hi Becca,

> So to clarify most people on SCD use Custom Probotics or the Lucys

kitchen shops Acidophilus?

Those that use probiotics do; some also use another one (vegetable

based)but the name escapes me at the moment

>

> The reason for this is because the other strains of probiotics

group together and multiply in the wrong amounts. But these

products above do not do that.

Close but not quite. Elaine has spent a great deal of time checking

out probiotics and is only comfortable with the L. acidophilus by

itself in a probiotic (capsule, powder). There is a great deal of

positive information on the L. acidophilus that has been documented

for decades. Many of the other strains are the popular " in thing "

for the moment, or have different as a different way to market their

product. Some strains like bifidum bacteria are linked to bacterial

overgrowth and are not necessarily a good thing when they remain in

high numbers past infancy.

The L. acidophilus tends to place nice and fair in the body and

helps prevent other bacteria from gaining a foothold in the body and

does not tend to overgraowth like others. Please see
