Ex. Gut Support, Probiotics, Digestive Aid
GI Distress Relief™ is Body Ecology’s key to high-quality, live probiotic products.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are proven to support a healthy digestive system. What many consumers don’t know is that not all probiotics are the same. In fact, not all probiotics make it to your gut intact! The type of strains of bacteria and yeasts in your probiotics matter. You need something strong, resilient, and most importantly, effective.
Our formula contains a superstar blend of microscopic strains of specific bacteria and yeast. This superstar blend is more likely to survive the acidic journey through the stomach and into the colon, which may help rejuvenate your overall gut health. (1)
Fact: GI Distress Relief™ contains 50 billion good microscopic alchemists per serving. Forty billion Bifidobacteria -- made up of two proven Bifidus lactis (Howaru HN019 and Bl-04) strains -- combined with 10 billion S. boulardii -- a beneficial yeast that helps fight candida -- are ready and able to reach and colonize your GI tract.
Healthy Gut, Healthy Life: Give Your Gut The Support It Needs
Gut health has been connected to digestion, mood, overall health, immunity, and even the way people think! Taking the time to heal your gut is a sure path to improving overall health. The first step is to understand what conditions you may be suffering from. The second step is to take a probiotic that offers the right strains of bacteria and yeast that are known to promote a healthy gut microbiome.
As we continue to learn more about microbiomes (this is the collection of microbes that live inside and on our bodies that keep us healthy), scientists are realizing the complexity of our microbiomes and how certain strains of bacteria in the same species can have significantly different characteristics and properties.
For example:
Within the species of Bifidus, the Bifidus lactis strain Howaru has been shown to help resolve irritable bowel disease. (2)
Not all strains of Bifidus have this ability.
Most importantly, some strains of bacteria, viruses, or yeast in a species can survive the long journey through your digestive tract, and some can’t. Some secrete certain substances that are useful to other microbes living in the same area, and some within the same species can be harmful. This is also true for yeast. When choosing a probiotic, you must choose one that provides strains that can make the journey and support the overall health of your gut.
For example:
Candida albicans is a pathogenic yeast, which can lead to unwanted infections. However, Saccharomyces boulardii is a wonderful yeast that helps control pathogenic yeast and promotes overall health.
S. boulardii may help negate gliotoxin, a nasty toxin that candida and mold make to suppress the immune system. (4)
Different strains of microbes perform different jobs. We have selected our specific strains for their demonstrated effectiveness in supporting healthy guts. Strain-specific probiotics (with research showing the conditions they treat) are the future.
You can find two superstar strains in Body Ecology’s GI Distress Relief™:
Why We Choose To Focus on B. lactis BL-04 and B. lactis HN019
Bifidobacteria is plush in your system as an infant if you are breastfed. However, as you age, this essential bacteria diminishes - to almost nothing in the elderly. The lack of this important bacteria can lead to gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance of gut microflora, or microbial community, which leads to illness and inflammation. Simply put, it is when harmful bacteria have overpowered good bacteria in your gut, which can lead to depression, bloating, and other maladies.
When healthy bacterias are often overwhelmed by harmful bacteria due to antibiotics, stress, poor sleep, hygiene, infections, and especially a chemically-laden, processed-food diet, this can negatively impact your immunity.
Bifidobacteria help fight inflammation, protect your gut lining, and maintain a balanced environment. (3) They're essential in helping to ward off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. (3) This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year. This is also why taking GI Distress Relief™ is so important to your overall health.
As you age, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ — containing the B. lactis HN019 strain shown to be especially helpful to older people and those with gut infections — can help support both your immune system and your digestive function. (4)
The Journey of Good Health Begins In The Gut
A healthy gut is the root of a healthy life. A healthy gut directly impacts all aspects of your life, including mood, cognition, immunity, digestion, and overall health and well-being. If you want a healthy life, functional medical practitioners know “First, fix the gut.”
Regardless of your health struggles, a healthy gut is key to improving your immune system and finding overall health and wellness. Your gut is your key to good health. When you heal your gut, you are empowered to shift your entire wellbeing and positively impact how well you age.
You have control over what’s happening in your gut! Even when struggling with chronic symptoms and illness, the steps you take to support your gut can lead to overall improvements in your health. Your microbiome is evolving every minute, and can easily be guided to improve. While you may already know that disease begins in your gut, your health also originates there. (5) This is critical to understand. When you help your gut recover, you positively influence your health and your longevity.
Support your gut’s repair with these standout ingredients in GI Distress Relief™:
Bifidus lactis - These two scientifically-supported strains, B. lactis Bl-04® and B. lactis HN019, have a long list of benefits. B. lactis Bl-04® may help improve hay fever, allergies, and immune response while helping to decrease side effects from antibiotics. (6,7) B. lactis HN019 may promote better immunity and bowel elimination while helping to relieve constipation. (8,9)
Saccharomyces boulardii - S. boulardii is one of the few probiotic yeasts that scientists have studied in the context of type 2 diabetes. (10) In animal studies, researchers found that S. boulardii may help minimize liver damage and inflammation. It also safeguards against diarrhea and can break down toxins from pathogenic bacteria, including the anthrax toxin. (11)
Sunfiber - This unique prebiotic (fiber) is essential to our gut-soothing formulation. Tasteless, colorless, water-soluble, and gluten-free, Sunfiber successfully feeds Bifidus. It’s also safe for those who may have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), SIFO (small intestinal fungal overgrowth), IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth), and histamine intolerance. (12)
If you have digestive problems, autoimmune issues, mood disorders, and aren’t happy with how you’re aging, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ can help. Of course, you’ll want to remove the cause or causes of your gut dysbiosis — especially inflammatory foods and infections like candida. Then, focus on establishing a healthy microbiome in your small and large intestines.

Get the most from what you eat. Assist Dairy and Protein maximizes your absorption of the protein you eat, minimizing waste or toxicity.
Now you can enjoy dairy foods again! You can enjoy the benefits of milk kefir without the side effects of the casein.
Strong digestive fire is key to optimal wellness. Yet certain proteins are often difficult to digest. ASSIST Dairy and Protein was designed to aid in the digestion of proteins from:
Animal Foods: This proprietary blend of Protease Enzymes plus significant amounts of HCl and Pepsin enhance digestion of meats, fish, poultry and eggs.
Dairy Foods: Fermenting milk into kefir and yogurt enhances digestion since the milk sugar, lactase, is broken down and consumed by the beneficial microflora. Dairy proteins and fats are also pre-digested, yet many people still need additional support.
Nuts, Seeds and Legumes: These ideally should be soaked before eating to release their enzyme inhibitors.
Assist Dairy and Protein supports the digestion and absorption of the proteins contained in these nutritious foods and for all other vegetable-source protein containing foods.

Maximize Your Food’s Potential to Nourish, Energize, and Heal!
Unable to fully digest your food? Add more wood to the fire.
Assist SI bolsters your digestion by delivering more enzymes to where you need them most—in your small intestine. This is where tiny finger-like villi reach out and seize nutrients, pulling them into your bloodstream.
But if you don’t have enough enzymes to break apart large molecules of food, the villi can’t do their job. And unabsorbed food ferments in the small intestine, creating painful gas and irregular bowel movements.
Assist SI delivers the same enzymes that your pancreas releases into the opening of the small intestine, ensuring your villi have something to grab on to and that you get the nutrition you need.
Suggestions For UseTake 1 - 3 capsules with each meal. Combine with Assist Full Spectrum Enzymes and Assist Dairy & Protein for greater results.
Contains all the enzymes that your small intestine requires
Provides maximum absorption
Breaks down hard-to-digest dairy
May help tone the intestinal wall
May help eliminate bloating and gas
May help bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
Supports regular, healthy bowel movements
Non-GMO, dairy-free, soy-free, and gluten-free
Want to get more out of your meals? Assist-SI™ is a dietary supplement that maximizes your food’s potential to nourish and energize!
Although your small intestine is something you may not give much thought to, it’s the place where most of the digestion and absorption of your food occurs.
Small Intestine Facts:
Between 13 and 20 feet long (if over 5 yrs of age)
Only about 1-1¼ inch in diameter
Surface area covers the size of a tennis court
Responsible for digesting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
Lengthens and loses muscle tone due to aging
If your small intestine isn't working, it really doesn't matter what you eat, since you won't be getting the nutrients you need. You're not getting the full value from your food; plain and simple.
For so many of us, this means that our commitment to a healthy diet isn't giving us any of the health and wellness payoffs we were hoping for simply because our small intestine isn't in balance. If the small intestine is not functioning optimally, precious nutrients from your food will leave your body in the form of waste.
Many digestive enzyme products only assist the digestive process as it occurs in the stomach. Because ph and acid levels in the stomach are different than those in the small intestine, these products essentially stop working when they enter the small intestine, where the ph level is much higher. Don't let your food go to waste!
Body Ecology has created a new digestive aid specifically designed to protect and enhance the function of your small intestine. ASSIST SI is a super pancreatic enzyme that turns your small intestine into a digestion powerhouse to quickly absorb proteins, fats, and carbohydrates while detoxifying and toning the small intestine, ensuring nutrient-rich blood and happy, healthy cells.
How do you know if you need Assist SI? You may have common symptoms like:
Abdominal bloating and discomfort an hour or more after a meal
Indigestion
Gas
Undigested food passed into your stool
Intestinal candida overgrowth
Why is it important to take a pancreatin supplement?Healthy intestinal function and a balanced intestinal environment are essential to overall health and resistance to disease. But achieving this can be challenging. The pancreas, a small gland located near the stomach, is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones that regulate blood sugar. Due to diets high in mineral depleted food, cooked food, and sugar and stressful living, the pancreas becomes overtaxed and unable to complete its function.
Assist SI is a pancreatin - a booster blend of naturally occurring pancreatic enzymes. This will provide natural enzymes that your pancreas already produces, which many people are unknowingly deficient in. Taken with food, pancreatin acts as a digestive enzyme. Taken on an empty stomach, it becomes what is known as a SYSTEMIC ENZYME, working throughout your body and affecting every organ.
What Assist SI will do for you
Helps digest vital nutrients in your small intestine
May help support the small intestine
Assists with digestion of milk proteins in dairy foods
Promotes regular bowel function and elimination of toxins
Maintains a healthy balance of intestinal microflora (beneficial bacteria)
Used as an effective systemic enzyme
Assist SI fits perfectly into our full line of digestive enzymes, which work hand-in-hand to create a healthy and robust digestive system:
Take 1 -3 Assist SI with every meal, combining with Assist and Assist Dairy and Protein as follows:
Assist Full Spectrum Enzymes | Take 1 - 2 capsules with every vegetable/starch meal
Assist Dairy & Protein | Take 1 - 2 capsules with every vegetable/dairy/protein meal
Pancreatic enzymes in Assist SI that help facilitate digestion and cleansing:
Pancreatin - contains the digestive enzymes trypsin, amylase, and lipase
Protease - an enzyme that helps break down proteins
Amylase - an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar
Lipase - an enzyme that breaks apart fat molecules
Papain - an enzyme found naturally in unripe papayas which assists in the breakdown of food
Bromelain - a mixture of enzymes found in the juice and stems of pineapples, it assists in the digestion of protein
Lipase (alkaline) - an enzyme with an alkaline base that breaks down fats in foods
Lipase (acid) - an enzyme with an acid base that breaks down fats in foods
Trypsin & Chymotrypsin - these proteases break down proteins into basic amino acids
Alpha Galactosidase - an enzyme that helps to break down complex or branching sugars (polysaccharides and oligosaccharides) in foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables
Recommended Serving Size and InstructionsTake 1 - 3 capsules with each meal. Combine with Assist Full Spectrum Enzymes and Assist Dairy & Protein for greater results.

Infant & Toddler Colostrum-LD®
Liposomal Lipid-coated Superfood for Your Precious One100% Pure Bovine Colostrum with High Potency Immunoglobulins
Provides a concentrated source of antibodies
Promotes a healthy immune system
Aids in normal childhood development
Helps build strong muscle, bone, and connective tissues
Offers a healthy alternative when breastfeeding isn’t possible
Nature’s First Food
Since the dawn of time, mothers’ colostrum (“first milk”) has sustained and nurtured their newborns. This rich source of immunoglobulins, peptides (lactoferrin & lactoperoxidase), signaling molecules (cytokines, proline-rich polypeptides), beneficial bacteria, and growth factors jumpstart the newborn’s immune system and heal the leaky gut. Pediatric experts agree that colostrum is “liquid gold.” Along with extended breastfeeding, colostrum puts precious little ones on the path to a healthy future.
Optimal Growth, Development & Immune Resilience
Unfortunately, not all babies receive the benefits of colostrum. The good news is that bovine (cow) colostrum is biologically compatible, plentiful, and a natural substitute if mom is unable to breastfeed. Living in today’s world requires a healthy immune system, and this is why Infant & Toddler Colostrum-LD® is the ideal product to fortify your infant or toddler’s nutritional needs.
Good Health is a Lifelong Endeavor
Healthy children are more likely to become healthy adults. Sovereign Laboratories encourages all parents to fortify their child’s daily nutrition with Colostrum-LD® and give them the foundation for a healthy life. Colostrum is an important part of childhood development, yet not just for little ones. We recommend Colostrum-LD® for all family members to maintain immune resilience and overall well-being… whether you’re two hours old or 102 years old.
Recommended Usage
Mix colostrum in 4 ounces freshly purified water (not bottled water), formula, or filtered apple juice and provide twice a day. If solid foods are appropriate, add colostrum to yogurt, applesauce, or vegetable puree. Upon taking colostrum for the first time, some infants experience mild sensitivity which may result in changes to stool color or consistency (loose stools or diarrhea). This is a normal reaction, so begin with ¼ teaspoon for the first few feedings and gradually increase to ½ teaspoon. If symptoms persist, contact your pediatrician for further advice.

This easy-to-mix, completely tasteless blend is perfect for:
Supporting smoother, more complete digestion and elimination
Managing bloating, gas, and occasional digestive discomfort
IBS, SIBO, and SIFO friendly
Promoting a healthy immune system
And improving appetite control
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
3000 mg of Sunfiber
3000 Mg of Acacia fiber
300 mg of BeniCaros. Amount used in research.

Dr. Wong's Essentials Digest Fuerte™ provides a blend of strong digestive enzymes including cellulase to more fully extract the nutrients from food and ease your digest process. No other digestive enzyme product is as potent or complete in its action as Digest-Fuerte. This blend contains enzymes that are actually fully active, ready to digest proteins, carbohydrates and especially fats. A great help to those with gall bladder problems who have difficulty digesting fats. We were the first digestive product to offer cellulase, the enzyme needed to break down the cell walls of plants so the nutrients inside the plant can be available to digestion. Humans have not made cellulase in 4 million years! Essential for vegetarians! One capsule should be able to help you digest a thanksgiving or Christmas feast!
The ginger, cinnamon and cayenne cause the body to secrete added digestive juices also improving digestion. And finally the aloe vera extract and peppermint help to soothe and protect the digestive tract. Especially helpful with folks who are fighting GI inflammations and irritations! Those are to help prevent the digestion and passage of food from increasing bowel irritation and inflammation!
Peppermint Leaf Powder
Peppermint has a long history of use in aromatherapy and folk medicine for ailments such as vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion and bloating. In Germany, the Commisson E monographs show peppermint leaf as being used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), in addition to other health concerns.
Cellulase
Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose (major component of plant cell walls). Since humans do not produce cellulase, we can only partially break down cellulose through fermentation by the flora in the intestines which greatly reduces the nutrients we can utilize. As a result, in order to properly digest leafy greens, sprouts and herbs, we need to supplement Cellulase in our diet.
Pancreatin
Amylase: Breaks down starches into sugars to be utilized by the body as energy.Lipase: Breaks down fatsProtease: An enzyme that begins the process of breaking down proteins for energy.
Papain
Papain breaks down proteins (meat fibres).
Pepsin
Pepsin breaks down proteins (meat fibres). It is one of the three primary protein-degrading enzymes in the digestive system. Allowing them to be more easily absorbed in the intestines.
Surthrival True 6 Hour Colostrum. Third Party Verified True 6 Hour Colostrum - Mother Nature's Most Complete Superfood.
Colostrum is 3X more effective against Swine Flu than Vaccines!
The following information referenced was originally written by Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith.
SurThrivalists! You already knew Colostrum is the most absorbable, most nutrient dense, and complete food in nature, but did you know that Colostrum is 3X more effective against Swine Flu than vaccines? But remember, not all Colostrum is created equal. In fact, nearly all Colostrum on the market is actually nothing more than "transitional milk". True Colostrum must be harvested within 6 hours from the birth of the calf. Our Colostrum is the only independent 3rd party verified true "6 hour" Colostrum.
The following is the summary of a clinical study on the prevention of Influenza with Colostrum compared against Flu Vaccination:
The efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral Colostrum in the prevention of flu episodes compared with anti-influenza vaccination was evaluated. Groups included healthy subjects without prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and Colostrum. After 3 months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in the non-Colostrum subjects. The Colostrum group had 13 episodes versus 14 in the Colostrum + vaccination group, 41 in the group without prophylaxis, and 57 in nontreated subjects. Part 2 of the study had a similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital admission was higher in the group that received only a vaccination compared with the Colostrum groups. Colostrum, both in healthy subjects and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective.

More about Colostrum....
Colostrum is the "immune milk" produced by all mammals for only the first few hours before and after birth. Supercharged with 97 immune factors and 87 growth factors, Colostrum is nature's "first food". It's adaptogenic properties enhance rejuvination and regeneration while strengthening the immune system, allowing your body to thrive under any circumstance. With potent anti-aging benefits, and broad spectrum probiotics in their whole food forms - Colostrum delivers youth, health, and vitality! This Colostrum is from organically raised cows and only harvested after the newborn calves get their share. This is true 6 hour Colostrum, verified by a 3rd party.
Colostrum is an amazing material that, like many other things in nature, reflects the evolutionary development of a unique composition that will serve the needs of the offspring for which it is intended. The most unique of the Colostrums from mammalian species occurs in bovines, where transfer of biological substances across the placenta to the developing fetus does not occur and everything required for the development of a healthy, productive offspring is provided in the Colostrum. As such, bovine Colostrum provides a specialized resource that offers the broadest possible spectrum of biologically active substances that can promote the development of a sound body mass, assure effective and efficient metabolism and support the activation and maintenance of a fully functional immune system capable of combating potential insults from microorganisms and other deleterious sources. Bovine Colostrum is also compatible with almost any species and can readily convey its full benefits to humans by routine dietary supplementation without any significant adverse effects.

Instructions for making Easy Skyr Yogurt
To activate your starter, make the initial batch with a sachet of starter culture.
You'll need a yogurt maker, a sous-vide, or a similar appliance OR an insulated flask/Thermos, to maintain a warm temperature to incubate the yogurt. The yogurt needs to be sufficiently warm for several hours.
It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. This is the activation batch. You can consume it and use it to make your next batch. Fermentation will get stronger in the next few cycles.
Remember to save ¼ cup of the resulting yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch. Repeat this many times to make yogurt again and again!
Makes: up to 1 quart/liter of yogurtPreparation time: 10 minutes (+ 8 hours incubating in an appliance, and up to 24 hours, if needed, if not using an appliance)
You’ll need:
A yogurt maker, sous-vide, or similar device OR a well-insulated flask/Thermos that holds up to 1 quart/liter, and an insulated box
Up to 1 quart/liter dairy milk
1 sachet of Easy Skyr Yogurt Starter (or ¼ cup of yogurt made with our Easy Skyr Yogurt Starter)
A thermometer
Optional: Cheesecloth or ultra-fine mesh plastic/nylon strainer.
4 easy steps:
WARM: If using ultra-pasteurized milk, gently heat it to 110°F (43°C) − boiling is not necessary. If using milk that has not been ultra-pasteurized, slowly heat it to 212°F (100°C), stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Once heated, remove from heat and allow it to cool to 110°F (43°C) before proceeding.
MIX: Pour into the yogurt maker's container or insulated flask/Thermos and gently stir in 1 sachet of Easy Skyr Yogurt Starter (or ¼ cup of yogurt made with Easy Skyr Yogurt Starter) until completely dissolved. Do not whisk.
INCUBATE: If using a yogurt maker or similar appliance: Place the container in the yogurt maker, cover, and follow the appliance's instructions (or incubate at 110°F (43°C) for 8 hours). If the yogurt hasn't thickened, extend the incubation for 2-4 more hours, checking every 2 hours. Don't disturb the yogurt while incubating. If using a flask or Thermos: Close the lid, wrap with a blanket, towel, coat, sweater, or similar insulation on all sides, including top and bottom, and place in an insulated coolbox or styrofoam box. Incubate for 8-10 hours, and several more hours (up to 24) if the texture hasn't thickened. Don't disturb the yogurt while incubating.
STORE: When the yogurt has thickened and has a pleasantly tangy flavor, it's ready. Secure the lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set. The yogurt will continue to firm up as it chills. Keep the finished yogurt refrigerated.
OPTIONAL: After refrigeration, strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth or ultra-fine mesh plastic/nylon strainer to make it even thicker and to increase the ratio of protein. When the liquid (known as whey) is removed from the yogurt via straining, the remaining protein becomes more concentrated.
Make subsequent batches (many times over!): Once you've made your first yogurt, repeat the previous steps, but use ¼ cup of your finished yogurt as your starter culture (instead of a sachet). This is called ʻreculturingʼ, and you can repeat it many times to make homemade yogurt again and again. For optimal results, reculture within two weeks
FAQs
What kind of milk should I use? Any type of pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized dairy milk (skim, 1%, 2%, or whole). You can add a splash of Half & Half or cream, but don’t use all cream or Half & Half as it doesn’t have enough lactose for the bacteria to form yogurt. Goat milk may yield thin results. We haven’t tested shelf-stable, raw, or dairy-free options.
Is the starter dairy-free/lactose-free? No, the starter may contain traces of dairy, is manufactured in a facility that also processes products containing dairy, and is designed to ferment dairy. That said, the presence of dairy in the starter is minuscule. The starter is comprised almost entirely of freeze-dried bacterial strains, with just a trace of dried organic skim milk powder as the medium on which the strains are proliferated. The tiny amount of milk powder that remains after proliferation is packaged with the strains and is metabolized when you make yogurt, during fermentation, so practically, almost none remains in the finished yogurt. That said, if you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you will need to decide whether this is suitable for you. Please note that we haven't tested our starter with dairy-free beverages.
Is there a carrier in the starter? Not really. The starter is comprised almost entirely of freeze-dried strains, with just a trace of dried organic skim milk powder as the medium on which the strains are proliferated. The tiny amount of milk powder that remains after proliferation is packaged with the strains, with no additional carrier.
What’s the difference between the Greek and Skyr yogurt starters? Both Greek and Skyr are heirloom (self-perpetuating and traditional), and yield thick, mild, and creamy yogurts, with some variation in texture and flavor. They originate in different parts of Europe and contain slightly different types of species, and slightly different proportions of each species. Please do not ferment them together; they are two distinct products. The composition of combined batches has not been tested.
How can I make my yogurt thicker/high-protein? After refrigeration, strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth, towel, or an ultra-fine mesh plastic strainer. When the liquid (known as whey) is removed via straining, the remaining protein becomes more concentrated. Higher fat milk will naturally yield thicker results. Goat and low fat milk will yield thin results. Use whole milk. You can add a splash of cream or Half & Half (known outside the USA as 'coffee cream' or similar, and made of part cream part milk). Donʼt use only cream or Half & Half, as they may not have enough lactose to form yogurt. Even if not fully firm, the yogurt will firm up in the refrigerator overnight.
My yogurt is still liquid after incubation. Your jar may have been too cold. You could try placing it in a container filled with warm water (not hot), or next to a warmed-up neck-heating pad (like the ones used for pain relief). Change the water (or re-heat the pad) once it cools, as necessary. Check the yogurt after a couple of hours, without disturbing it. If this is the activation batch (when you use starter from a sachet), your yogurt may not be fully set. It will firm up in the refrigerator. It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. Fermentation will get stronger in the next few cycles. Low-fat and goat milk yield thin results. When incubating without an appliance, use a good-quality, well-insulated, sturdy stainless steel flask/Thermos (or a glass jar), and make sure it's well-wrapped on all sides, including top and bottom, and placed in an insulated box. The aim is to keep the yogurt warm enough for incubation to occur. Always follow the instructions closely, including recommended ingredients.
There's some translucent liquid in my jar. This is either natural condensation, or whey that occurs naturally in dairy fermentation. It will subside in the refrigerator.
Can I make yogurt if I don't have a device or insulated flask? Yes. Use a quart glass jar and follow the Thermos instructions. Make sure to keep the jar warm during incubation. For that, you could use a container filled with warm water (not hot) or a warmed-up neck-heating pad like the ones used for pain relief, and change the water (or re-heat the pad) once it cools, as necessary. Keep the jar as insulated as possible.
Why do we heat pasteurized milk? To eliminate any competing bacteria, and to denature the protein so that it forms a thicker curd. Ultra-pasteurized milk should only be warmed up to 110°F (fermentation temperature).
How to prevent the milk from scorching? Keep stirring even when using a non-stick pot. Another effective method is the double-boiler, which provides indirect heat. To use this method, place your milk in a smaller pot, and place that pot inside a larger pot filled with water. This way, you won't be heating the milk directly. Make sure the water level does not exceed the bottom of the smaller pot. Keep stirring the milk as it heats up.
How to ensure the starter powder dissolves in the jar? Mix it well with a spoon. One trick is to mix the powder in a smaller jar with a smaller quantity of milk, and then add the mixture back into the main jar, stirring well to combine.
I let the milk cool too much. What should I do? Gently heat the milk back to 110°F (43°C) and then add the starter and proceed with the rest of the process.
Can I whisk the starter into the milk? Whisking introduces bubbles that may slow down fermentation. Use a spoon to mix in the starter until completely dissolved.
What if the temperature drops while incubating? The yogurt needs to be sufficiently warm for several hours for incubation to occur. While 110°F is ideal, fermentation will occur at a range of about 104 -110°F. One trick is to pour the milk into the Thermos when the milk is just over 110°F. The contact with the Thermos will drop the temperature a little. It's normal for the temperature to slowly decrease if not using a device. Keep the Thermos well-wrapped and insulated, and do not disturb the contents while incubating. If you don't have an insulated box, you can place your Thermos inside a well-insulated appliance such as the microwave or oven without switching it on, just to provide insulation.
Should I secure the lid while incubating? It doesn't really matter whether the lid is secure or loose, or if you just use the device's cover, or even just a towel or similar. The idea is to minimize heat loss and prevent unwarranted contaminants from entering the jar. While the bacteria in this starter do need some air, the gap between the liquid and the lid, even if secure, should be sufficient.
I want to make larger quantities. Increase quantities only after you have continuous good results. This may take a couple of cycles until the bacteria fully kick into gear. Use your ready yogurt as your starter, without adding starter from the sachet. Keep the ratios in proportion: To make 2 quarts/liters, use 2 quarts/liters of milk and ½ cup of your ready yogurt as your starter.
Why is the yogurt stringy? The bacteria in this yogurt naturally have this effect.
How often should I reculture? Ideally, within two weeks or so.
How many times can I reculture? For as long as your batch thickens and comes out like yogurt.
How long does an unopened sachet of starter keep in the refrigerator? The Best By date is printed on each pouch and sachet. Keep in the refrigerator or freezer until you're ready to use it.
Can I freeze the yogurt? Yes, freezing does not kill the bacteria. You can make ice cream with it, but expect the texture to be grainier. We haven't tested yogurt recultured from a previously-frozen yogurt.
How should I store the yogurt while I'm away? If you plan on consuming/reculturing the yogurt within a couple of weeks, keep it in the fridge. Flavor and texture may change over time. When you get back, check if it's still good. If you use it to make a new batch, you may need to extend culturing time and/or use more of your existing yogurt (as a starter) to let the bacteria catch up by proliferation. It may take a few cycles to return to full vigor. If the new batch turns out fine, keep using it. If not, discard, and use a new starter from a sachet to start over. We haven't tested yogurt recultured from a previously-frozen yogurt.
Do you ship to Hawaii / Alaska / Puerto Rico? Yes. Shipping fees to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico are the same as to any address within the contiguous USA. We use ambient shipping (non-refrigerated and without ice). Our starters are designed to remain active for several weeks in transit in hot weather, without refrigeration or ice. The formula and the packaging provide excellent protection for the live strains. See "I live in a hot place. Is the starter still active if it's shipped unrefrigerated in hot weather?"
I live in a hot place. Is the starter still active if it's shipped unrefrigerated in hot weather? Yes. Our starters are not affected by heat in unrefrigerated transit. They are designed to remain active for several weeks in hot weather, including heatwaves, without refrigeration or ice. The formula and packaging provide excellent protection for the live strains, which are freeze-dried and not heat-sensitive in the sealed packet. We have thoroughly tested this. For this reason, we use ambient shipping, which is significantly less costly for the customer. We keep the starters in a cold warehouse until orders are shipped, and when your order is shipped we send you a tracking number so that you can see when it is due to arrive. Once received, the starter should be refrigerated or frozen for the longterm, and you can use it as normal. It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. The bacteria take a cycle or two to fully kick into gear. This has nothing to do with the unrefrigerated shipping.
I forgot to refrigerate the starter. Is it still active? This depends on how long the starter has been left at ambient temperature. The starter is designed to remain active for several weeks in hot weather, including heatwaves, without refrigeration or ice, for transit purposes. The formula and packaging provide excellent protection for the live strains. If the delay is much longer and the temperatures are very high, the viability may be affected. If your batch thickens and tastes like yogurt, you're good. It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. This is the activation batch. Fermentation will get stronger in the next few cycles.
What are the starter's caloric/nutrition facts? These are printed on the back of the pouch. The final yogurt's nutritional values depend on the dairy you use. For example, whole milk will have more fat than skim milk.
Is the starter certified Kosher? No. Our starters are not certified Kosher.
Where is the starter made? In the EU.

That said, the presence of dairy in the starter is minuscule. The starter is comprised almost entirely of freeze-dried bacterial strains, with just a trace of dried organic skim milk powder as the medium on which the strains are proliferated. The tiny amount of milk powder that remains after proliferation is packaged with the strains and is metabolized when you make yogurt, during fermentation, so practically, almost none remains in the finished yogurt. That said, if you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you will need to decide whether this is suitable for you. Please note that we haven't tested our starter with dairy-free beverages.
Is there a carrier in the starter? Not really. The starter is comprised almost entirely of freeze-dried strains, with just a trace of dried organic skim milk powder as the medium on which the strains are proliferated. The tiny amount of milk powder that remains after proliferation is packaged with the strains, with no additional carrier.
What’s the difference between the Greek and Skyr yogurt starters? Both Greek and Skyr are heirloom (self-perpetuating and traditional), and yield thick, mild, and creamy yogurts, with some variation in texture and flavor. They originate in different parts of Europe and contain slightly different types of species, and slightly different proportions of each species. Please do not ferment them together; they are two distinct products. The composition of combined batches has not been tested.
How can I make my yogurt thicker/high-protein? After refrigeration, strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth, towel, or an ultra-fine mesh plastic strainer. When the liquid (known as whey) is removed via straining, the remaining protein becomes more concentrated. Higher fat milk will naturally yield thicker results. Goat and low fat milk will yield thin results. Use whole milk. You can add a splash of cream or Half & Half (known outside the USA as 'coffee cream' or similar, and made of part cream part milk). Donʼt use only cream or Half & Half, as they may not have enough lactose to form yogurt. Even if not fully firm, the yogurt will firm up in the refrigerator overnight.
My yogurt is still liquid after incubation. Your jar may have been too cold. You could try placing it in a container filled with warm water (not hot), or next to a warmed-up neck-heating pad (like the ones used for pain relief). Change the water (or re-heat the pad) once it cools, as necessary. Check the yogurt after a couple of hours, without disturbing it. If this is the activation batch (when you use starter from a sachet), your yogurt may not be fully set. It will firm up in the refrigerator. It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. Fermentation will get stronger in the next few cycles. Low-fat and goat milk yield thin results. When incubating without an appliance, use a good-quality, well-insulated, sturdy stainless steel flask/Thermos (or a glass jar), and make sure it's well-wrapped on all sides, including top and bottom, and placed in an insulated box. The aim is to keep the yogurt warm enough for incubation to occur. Always follow the instructions closely, including recommended ingredients.
There's some translucent liquid in my jar. This is either natural condensation, or whey that occurs naturally in dairy fermentation. It will subside in the refrigerator.
Can I make yogurt if I don't have a device or insulated flask? Yes. Use a quart glass jar and follow the Thermos instructions. Make sure to keep the jar warm during incubation. For that, you could use a container filled with warm water (not hot) or a warmed-up neck-heating pad like the ones used for pain relief, and change the water (or re-heat the pad) once it cools, as necessary. Keep the jar as insulated as possible.
Why do we heat pasteurized milk? To eliminate any competing bacteria, and to denature the protein so that it forms a thicker curd. Ultra-pasteurized milk should only be warmed up to 110°F (fermentation temperature).
How to prevent the milk from scorching? Keep stirring even when using a non-stick pot. Another effective method is the double-boiler, which provides indirect heat. To use this method, place your milk in a smaller pot, and place that pot inside a larger pot filled with water. This way, you won't be heating the milk directly. Make sure the water level does not exceed the bottom of the smaller pot. Keep stirring the milk as it heats up.
How to ensure the starter powder dissolves in the jar? Mix it well with a spoon. One trick is to mix the powder in a smaller jar with a smaller quantity of milk, and then add the mixture back into the main jar, stirring well to combine.
I let the milk cool too much. What should I do? Gently heat the milk back to 110°F (43°C) and then add the starter and proceed with the rest of the process.
Can I whisk the starter into the milk? Whisking introduces bubbles that may slow down fermentation. Use a spoon to mix in the starter until completely dissolved.
What if the temperature drops while incubating? The yogurt needs to be sufficiently warm for several hours for incubation to occur. While 110°F is ideal, fermentation will occur at a range of about 104 -110°F. One trick is to pour the milk into the Thermos when the milk is just over 110°F. The contact with the Thermos will drop the temperature a little. It's normal for the temperature to slowly decrease if not using a device. Keep the Thermos well-wrapped and insulated, and do not disturb the contents while incubating. If you don't have an insulated box, you can place your Thermos inside a well-insulated appliance such as the microwave or oven without switching it on, just to provide insulation.
Should I secure the lid while incubating? It doesn't really matter whether the lid is secure or loose, or if you just use the device's cover, or even just a towel or similar. The idea is to minimize heat loss and prevent unwarranted contaminants from entering the jar. While the bacteria in this starter do need some air, the gap between the liquid and the lid, even if secure, should be sufficient.
I want to make larger quantities. Increase quantities only after you have continuous good results. This may take a couple of cycles until the bacteria fully kick into gear. Use your ready yogurt as your starter, without adding starter from the sachet. Keep the ratios in proportion: To make 2 quarts/liters, use 2 quarts/liters of milk and ½ cup of your ready yogurt as your starter.
Why is the yogurt stringy? The bacteria in this yogurt naturally have this effect.
How often should I reculture? Ideally, within two weeks or so.
How many times can I reculture? For as long as your batch thickens and comes out like yogurt.
How long does an unopened sachet of starter keep in the refrigerator? The Best By date is printed on each pouch and sachet. Keep in the refrigerator or freezer until you're ready to use it.
Can I freeze the yogurt? Yes, freezing does not kill the bacteria. You can make ice cream with it, but expect the texture to be grainier. We haven't tested yogurt recultured from a previously-frozen yogurt.
How should I store the yogurt while I'm away? If you plan on consuming/reculturing the yogurt within a couple of weeks, keep it in the fridge. Flavor and texture may change over time. When you get back, check if it's still good. If you use it to make a new batch, you may need to extend culturing time and/or use more of your existing yogurt (as a starter) to let the bacteria catch up by proliferation. It may take a few cycles to return to full vigor. If the new batch turns out fine, keep using it. If not, discard, and use a new starter from a sachet to start over. We haven't tested yogurt recultured from a previously-frozen yogurt.
Do you ship to Hawaii / Alaska / Puerto Rico? Yes. Shipping fees to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico are the same as to any address within the contiguous USA. We use ambient shipping (non-refrigerated and without ice). Our starters are designed to remain active for several weeks in transit in hot weather, without refrigeration or ice. The formula and the packaging provide excellent protection for the live strains. See "I live in a hot place. Is the starter still active if it's shipped unrefrigerated in hot weather?"
I live in a hot place. Is the starter still active if it's shipped unrefrigerated in hot weather? Yes. Our starters are not affected by heat in unrefrigerated transit. They are designed to remain active for several weeks in hot weather, including heatwaves, without refrigeration or ice. The formula and packaging provide excellent protection for the live strains, which are freeze-dried and not heat-sensitive in the sealed packet. We have thoroughly tested this. For this reason, we use ambient shipping, which is significantly less costly for the customer. We keep the starters in a cold warehouse until orders are shipped, and when your order is shipped we send you a tracking number so that you can see when it is due to arrive. Once received, the starter should be refrigerated or frozen for the longterm, and you can use it as normal. It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. The bacteria take a cycle or two to fully kick into gear. This has nothing to do with the unrefrigerated shipping.
I forgot to refrigerate the starter. Is it still active? This depends on how long the starter has been left at ambient temperature. The starter is designed to remain active for several weeks in hot weather, including heatwaves, without refrigeration or ice, for transit purposes. The formula and packaging provide excellent protection for the live strains. If the delay is much longer and the temperatures are very high, the viability may be affected. If your batch thickens and tastes like yogurt, you're good. It's normal for the first batch to come out weaker. This is the activation batch. Fermentation will get stronger in the next few cycles.
What are the starter's caloric/nutrition facts? These are printed on the back of the pouch. The final yogurt's nutritional values depend on the dairy you use. For example, whole milk will have more fat than skim milk.
Is the starter certified Kosher? No. Our starters are not certified Kosher.
Where is the starter made? In the EU.

You might be familiar with traditionally cultured beets -- like beet kvass, the probiotic tonic that’s been enjoyed in Russia and Ukraine for centuries. What you may not know is that beets are making a comeback. Especially the fermented variety.
Beets, while delicious and nutritious, have been overlooked in our modern world. But as more research explores and confirms their benefits, expect to see them popping up everywhere, at your favorite restaurant or even on your dinner table. Fermenting solves the sugar problem -- a major concern for many -- neutralizing much of beets’ sugar content with the help of beneficial bacteria that take gut health to the next level.
Here are some of the biggest reasons to love Body Ecology’s BeetBiotic™:
Extra-nutritious. A beet beats a banana when it comes to potassium levels. Beets are also rich in folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A and C.
Energy-boosting protein. Fermenting naturally breaks down protein into amino acids your body can use. BeetBiotic™ is an easy-to-digest source of vegetarian protein.
Blood pressure balancer. Diets high in certain fruits and vegetables, and beetroot juice, in particular, has been shown to potentially have a balancing effect on blood pressure.3
Heart protective. COPD and heart failure patients supplementing beetroot have seen exercise duration increase.4 The COPD patients also had lower blood pressure.5
Sports drink alternative - As good for your gut as it is convenient, BeetBiotic™ also helps hydrate and improve performance. Beetroot has helped elite cyclists finish faster.6
Better overall health. Probiotics make robust health possible by aiding in digestion and nutrient uptake. They even help produce key vitamins, like B and K, for healing.7
What really makes beets so hard to beat is their exceptional nitrate levels.
Nitrates are natural chemicals your body converts into nitric oxide (NO), which works as a vasodilator. This explains beets’ profound effect on the heart and blood pressure. NO is also a big supporter of detoxification, lung function, and immunity.8,9 Not having enough NO can elevate your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, and diabetes.10-13
BeetBiotic™ has unbeatable benefits. You’ll get more than you bargained for with these ingredients:
Organic beetroot - A reliable source of nitrates that is also alkalizing, i.e., soothing to your body, when fermented.
Organic biodynamic brown rice - A high-protein brown rice made even more nutrient-rich through intuitive, biodynamic farming.
Organic ginger - A spicy root used in ancient China and India for millennia, helping to ease nausea, aches, inflammation, infection, and even asthma.14
Organic fennel seed - A medicinal seed, rich in nitrates and traditionally consumed in India, known to regulate blood pressure, appetite, and digestion.15
Organic maqui berry - A powerful superfruit revered by indigenous Chilean people, offering support for the eyes, heart, gut, blood pressure, and inflammation.16,17
Organic millet - A nutritious, high-protein "grain-like" seed that can help stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol.18
Organic pulses - A high-protein blend of mung beans, chickpeas, and lentils made more bioavailable (and digestible) when fermented.
Organic quinoa - A mineral-rich "grain-like" seed prized for being a complete protein (containing all nine essential amino acids).
Raw and cooked beets are brimming with good-for-you compounds and phytochemicals -- including betacyanin, the oxygen-promoting plant pigment that gives beets their bright-red color.
But fermented beets still can’t be beat, thanks to their low sugar content and potent probiotic profile. The sugar in raw beets can feed the opportunistic yeast candida, producing potentially harmful oxalates that may cause painful kidney stones to form. Fermenting breaks down the sugar in beets, and beneficial L. plantarum bacteria help degrade oxalates.
You don’t have to settle for less. Naturally fermenting beets helps preserve their nutrients and enhance their health benefits. Fermenting even cuts down on levels of antinutrients that can make it harder to absorb critical minerals. Beets cultured with superior probiotic strains like L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, and L. delbreukii are hardy enough to survive the trip through the digestive tract, successfully reaching and recolonizing their destination: your intestines.19
How to use: Aim to drink 2 to 3 ounces per day as a probiotic power shot, to support good gut health and for maintenance. Drink as needed and as desired throughout the day, and get creative: Mix BeetBiotic™ into a smoothie, mocktail or cocktail, mineral water, kefir, or salad dressing for an energy boost or to calm digestive troubles. Or use it to inoculate your next batch of cultured vegetables.

Kefir has many benefits including better digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and has been known for thousands of years for its anti-aging and immune enhancing properties.
It's an ancient cultured food rich in amino acids, enzymes, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and B vitamins. Appropriately named "feel good" in Turkish - that's exactly how you'll feel after drinking a glass in the morning! Easy and fun to make at home, it is superior to commercial yogurt. An absolute must after antibiotic use!
Unlike yogurt, it can actually colonize the intestinal tract. The good news: Body Ecology's Kefir Starter is safe and easy to use. The great news: You can save on store-bought kefir and ferment in the comfort of your kitchen.
Highlights
May help restore balance to the digestive tract after antibiotic use*
A tasty alternative to yogurt; my help support better digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates*
Homemade kefir and coconut kefir may help minimize cravings for unhealthy foods
Contains 6 packets which can be used an average of 7 times each.
Suggested Usage
6 tablespoons of previous batch will ferment 1 quart of liquid. Please refrigerate once received.
Into container (preferably glass with lid), mix together the entire contents of one foil package of kefir starter and one quart of slightly warmed milk (about skin temperature or 92 degrees).
Shake, stir or whip with a whisk to mix well. Put lid on container.
Let this mixture ferment at 72-75 F for 18-24 hours for milk, 24-48 hours for coconut water and some others. (You will notice it is ready if the milk has thickened and has a distinctive, sour fragrance. Final consistency is pourable but not "eat with a spoon" thick.) Coconut water will not thicken like milk, only become cloudy and much less sweet.
Shake or stir vigorously and place into the refrigerator. Even in your refrigerator the fermentation process continues, but chilling will slow down the fermentation of the healthy bacteria and beneficial yeast.

Donna Gates recommends adding The Body Ecology starter to the liquid found inside the young, green coconut.
While traditionally made with cow's milk, it can be made with soy, coconut, rice, goat, or sheep milk (other varieties of milk yield a more watery version than cow's milk).
And it's a wonderful addition to smoothies!
Shelf life is 12 months from the manufactured date, or longer when stored in a freezer.

*CocoBiotic is made from organic grains and wild-crafted coconuts that are not sprayed with any chemicals.
CocoBiotic utilizes Grainfields proprietary FermFlora natural organic fermentation process. And just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a probiotic based on slick marketing.
Important: Many probiotics boast about how many different strains of beneficial bacteria they include, or the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) they contain. Unfortunately, these numbers can be misleading. The bacteria may not be natural to the human GI tract, or even be compatible with each other.
Instead of looking for the most strains or the most CFUs, you must look for how viable and active the cultures are and how well they will work in your gut. CocoBiotic contains a smart blend of beneficial bacteria and yeast specifically chosen to work in a symbiotic or mutually beneficial way.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus delbreukii
One of the key reasons that CocoBiotic is such a super probiotic is due to its bioavailability as a fermented liquid food, rather than an ordinary capsule supplement. This way, the beneficial microflora in CocoBiotic’s unique fermented beverage can withstand harsh stomach acids to reach the walls of the intestine and recolonize it more effectively than capsule probiotic supplements.
Includes "built-in" prebioticsJust like you need food to live on, the probiotics require their own food source called prebiotics. With CocoBiotic, you don’t need to worry about buying additional prebiotic supplements. That's because CocoBiotic contains the beneficial enzyme-producing yeasts that friendly bacteria love to feed on.
Your Foundation of Wellness: Creating A Healthy And Happy Gut
The key to enhanced and vibrant health is restoring and maintaining your inner ecosystem in your digestive tract, which means promoting the growth of beneficial intestinal microflora. These vital organisms help your body defend against disease-causing bacteria, viruses, yeast and other dangerous invaders.
What’s the most effective way to create a healthy inner ecosystem?
By far, two of the most beneficial "edible tools" to promote a healthy gut are:
Cultured vegetables
Young coconut kefir or Body Ecology’s Probiotic Liquids
You may see probiotics sold in small jars, as a powder or packaged into capsules. But the best probiotics are found in fermented foods and our probiotics.
Why?
Because the probiotics in fermented foods are alive. And they are more likely to survive the perils of the digestive tract. The probiotics found in fermented foods are surrounded by a “protective delivery matrix.” This keeps them safe from stomach acid, bile, and digestive juices as they move from your mouth and into your colon (where they populate and set up a healthy and happy home.) And many probiotic supplement products on the market vary greatly in their potency and effectiveness (as well as their cost). They do not live up to their claims. Some are not even natural.
So we do the work for you to provide you the highest quality probiotics so you can:
Save time and effort on culturing your own coconut water and fermented your own vegetables at home
Enjoy the convenience and ease of having a portable probiotic liquid
Maintain your busy lifestyle while maintaining great health

I've been using CREON for nearly four years but it's currently unavailable in the UK. My Doctor can't even prescribe an alternative as these are also out of stock. I was sent a link for the Grassfed Beef Pancreas & I can confirm it's doing a wonderful job! Thank God for this company!! It has allayed my anxiety & I shall be buying it moving forward. I HIGHLY recommend & give 5*.
Ok I love colostrum and the immune tree are brilliant for me ! I spend an awful lot on supplements but I always have my immune tree colostrum and it definitely improves my immune system , I suffer from Addison's ( major and total adrenal insufficiency) I don't produce any of my own cortisol and it's exhausting even with replacing with hydrocortisone as it's a fixed dose three times daily and not my body regulating the dose. However since I began to take colostrum every day I have indeed noticed some increase in stamina and definitely improved immunity. I'd highly recommend this colostrum to any one and everyone wanting that extra boost for the immune system.
