Re: Re: Probiotics and Fermented Foods-Check out Bio-K

[Guest guest]

Hi Duncan et all,

Just wanted to reccomend a product I have been using. It's called Bio-K.....and

is a fermented milk product that comes in what looks similar to little yogurt

containers. It is also available in capsules that are just as strong. It

contains the strongest live acidophillus out there (save growing your own which

sounds very cool and I am going to try). One little container is equal to 250

capsules of average concentration. So you actually get the 50 billion live

cells (of single strain acidophillus!) that you need in a day. I have been

using it for only a week and already notice HUGE changes to my digestion and

stomach discomfort. I am in Ontario, Canada and just pick it up at the local

Loblaws grocery store, so I'm not sure about the availability elsewhere. Just

thought it might help some others out!! My naturopath swears by it and so far so

do I! The only downside is it is about $20 CDN for 6 containers of the fermented

milk or 30 capsules.

let me know if you try it what you think!

You are correct; it is. The difference is one of concentration, and

also one of perception.

Probiotic bacteria do discourage aberrant crypt foci (bowel cancer

precursor), but to get the right kind of concentration, eating it, as

probiotic capsules, may take about 200 capsules daily, or 200 cups of

yogurt may be required. I've done the math on my site and I invite

y'all to check the calculation.

Using inulin, only few teaspons produce the same result by growing

your own.

Hi Sue - Just jumping in here. It is sold at Zehrs in the Niagara

Peninsula - but not with the normal dairy stuff - it's usually in a seperate

refrigerator case where the " health foods " are located.

You can also buy it at almost any Health Food Store. - p

A lot of Loblaws have an organic section now. Normally

it is there in the fridge with the organix yogurt, soy

cheese, organic butter, eggs, etc.

Hi Sue,

Sorry for the delay in response, I am in the middle of moving to Toronto and

don't have internet hooked up in my new place yet!!

Yes I did find it in the dairy department at Loblaws......they also had a lot of

other brands of acidophillus and organic yorgurts there! I am really impressed

with the Bio-K so far!! I hope you can find some!!

Take care,

Micaela
