Without a doubt, the
whole family will benefit from Shakti. Whether you
want to optimise your
health or help overcome diseased states, naturally sourced broad
spectrum probiotics and nutrients are the doorway to developing vibrant
health which can continue long into maturity.
Shakti can be taken straight on the tongue and
allowed to melt, or for those who prefer, it may be blended with juice
or water. You may also make it part of a delicious
smoothie or sprinkle it on your preferred foods.
As much as you
need. Listen to your body. Shakti
is powerful. 1 flat teaspoon daily is usually
sufficient, more may be required to aid recovery from poor health.
Yes, simply take 3 level teaspoons as a meal
replacement. Because Shakti's unique combination
satisfies the body's nutritional needs as well as addressing bacterial
imbalance, it's an intelligent approach to weight
loss. We advocate a change in lifestyle as well as
eating habits. Chemicals and additives in foods can
cause imbalance in the body as well as overwhelming cravings. You will
need to drink at least 2 litres (4¼ US pints) of pure clean
water daily during this period as the body will be detoxifying as well
as shedding excess weight. Noni fruit, a component
of Shakti is also known to diminish
cravings. Bacterial imbalance is one of the hidden
culprits responsible for a person's inability to lose weight.
Probiotic is derived from Greek, meaning "for
life". This contrasts with Antibiotics meaning
"against life". This term probiotics is now
generally used to describe the living beneficial bacteria that support
digestion as well as vaginal and urinary tract health.
Prebiotics are a natural food for probiotic
bacteria. Prebiotics support the growth of
beneficial bacteria in the gut. A prebiotic allows
the probiotic much greater attachment to the intestinal wall and growth
rate of the health bacteria in order to minimise the growth of harmful
bacteria. The whole reason for using a prebiotic is
to increase beneficial flora. In other words, the
probiotic supplies the live bacteria and the prebiotic is the food
needed for the bacteria to survive.
Without the prebiotic, the probiotic will have
to compete against other bacteria that will take over if its specific
food source is not available. How effective a
probiotic is depends directly on its ability to survive and adhere to
the intestinal wall to colonise the
colon. Therefore, prebiotics are necessary to assist
the probiotic. Since prebiotic sugars are not
digested, this enables the prebiotic to travel through the digestive
tract to help feed the bacteria in the
intestines. These sugars are then fermented by the
lactobacillus and others in the colon to produce all those beneficial
by-products. Shakti Synbiotic contains
fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) as its prebiotic.
The term Synbiotic is used when a product
contains both probiotics and prebiotics. Because the
word alludes to synergism, this term should be reserved for products in
which the prebiotic selectively favours the probiotic compound, as in
Shakti Synbiotic's use of FOS with Lactobacilli.
Your internal eco-system is made up of friendly
and unfriendly bacteria (as well as neutral bacteria which can become
harmful if your system is weak). The beneficial
bacteria help your system digest food and absorb its
nutrients. They also support a strong immune
system. The unfriendly bacteria, also called
pathogens, cause infection and disease. Probiotics
supply your eco-system with an ample number of friendly bacteria to
keep those pathogens under control and support your gastrointestinal
system's peak performance. In other words, they
provide the foundation for a healthy life.
These beneficial yeasts
support Acidophilus in its function to promote the growth of other
beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and they are also a
rich source of vitamin B1. Some cultures use these
yeasts for the treatment of dysentery, including when diarrhoea is
cause by Chron's disease, traveler's disease, and AIDS.
Friendly bacteria occur naturally in your
gastrointestinal system. The more you have of them,
the better supported your internal systems will
be. Knowing that beneficial bacteria are depleted
daily by pollution, contaminants in food, drugs, antibiotics, aging,
smoking, alcohol and stress, it makes sense to defend yourself;
otherwise your immune system becomes weakened and you are then
vulnerable to infection and disease. Should you
take them for life? naturally, you can take Shakti
every day to help protect against harmful bacteria and also know that
your nutritional needs will be met on a daily
basis. Shakti is a food; you may eat it once a day,
even three times a day, or whenever you feel hungry.
We recommend taking Shakti alongside the
antibiotics. Unfortunately, antibiotics are unable
to distinguish between beneficial and harmful bacteria, and they can
wipe out the beneficial bacteria, leaving the bowel vulnerable to the
invasion of potentially dangerous bacteria. This can
lead to side effects such as gastro-intestinal upset, involving
diarrhoea and bloating.
Taking Shakti is an excellent way to offset this
loss. Take the antibiotics and Shakti every day, but
not at the same time. Wait at least three hours
after taking the antibiotic before taking
Shakti. When you have finished the antibiotics,
continue taking Shakti to ensure re-population of the beneficial
bacteria as well as your usual need for superior nutritional
support. Proper nutrition supports the body in it's
fight against disease.
It is unlikely that eating yoghurt will
significantly increase the number of beneficial bacteria in your
digestive tract. The bacteria used to produce a
fermented food like yoghurt is not concentrated for the purpose of
supplementing your body's probiotic level. Besides
the lack of potency found in food-producing bacteria, sugars and
preservatives cause the bacteria to go through their life cycle before
the food product even reaches your store. Shakti
offers a full spectrum probiotic; these strains are not found in
yoghurt.
Shakti can be stored at room temperature, or
refrigerate if you want. The Lactobacilli bacteria
used in Shakti Synbiotic have been subjected to a large number of
stressors to eliminate weak bacteria, resulting in an extremely robust
and superior bacteria unique in the world today.
Yes,
absolutely! Your body is exposed to a different
environment and the usual excesses associated with travel and
holidays. Air travel exposes you to all kinds of
infections. This is the time to strengthen the
body's immune system by taking Shakti and staying well to enjoy your
break. As Shakti can be stored at room temperature,
it is a truly portable defence system.
For your body to digest and absorb the maximum
amount of nutrients and minerals from the food you eat, those nutrients
need to be "bio-available", i.e. in a form which can be easily
assimilated. Probiotics are particularly
effective in breaking down proteins for easier
digestion. That means if you want to get more
calcium, magnesium and trace elements out of the food you eat,
probiotics are an excellent approach. Shakti
Synbiotic expands this maxim by using superfoods in its probiotic
formula. These superfoods come in a pre-digested form which means that
all the nutrients are immediately assimilated; all
the hard work has been done by the friendly bacteria, and there is no
waste. What other food can offer this molecular
nutrition?
Most allergies to food are the result of the
improper balance of bacteria in your intestinal
tract. Because all the ingredients in Shakti are
pre-digested by our proprietary lactobacillus culture, this means that
your digestive system can relax, all the work has been
done. This is why so many people do not experience
their normal allergic reactions. However, we
recommend taking small amounts first to see how your body
responds. Most allergies to food are the result of
the
improper balance of
bacteria in your intestinal tract. You may find
after using Shakti that these allergies disappear.
Shakti is lactose and
gluten free. A person with wheat intolerance
generally has trouble breaking down the protein known as
gluten. As Shakti is pre-digested, the gluten is
already broken down, and this problem is avoided.
In so many instances once the friendly bacteria have balanced your
eco-system, all manner of food intolerance and allergies disappear,
because the body grows capable of manufacturing the correct enzymes to
metabolise these foods.
Being an all natural product, there is an
assurance that detoxification reactions is simply a natural response to
the body regaining it's equilibrium. Drinking plenty
of pure clean water (minimum 2
litres, 4¼ US pints) daily, during the healing
process helps the body to eliminate toxins easily.
Yes, absolutely! Our
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), Omega 3 and Omega 6, as well as all 20
omega acids, are derived from Spirulina and Flaxseed, two of the
richest sources of EFAs.
If you are under the care of a health
practitioner, it is always wise to consult with them before adding
anything new to the diet. Shakti, being a food, will
not adversely effect any medications you are taking, any more than a
helping of green salad would.
Our probiotic cultures are sourced only from
organic and biodynamic grains, fruits and vegetables and Australian
grown spirulina; as opposed to so many other probiotic supplements
which use probiotics sourced on faecal matter and/or genetically
modified material.
Bacteria live and work in colonies known as
Colony-Forming-Units (CFUs) We do not shake the
colonies apart to create the illusion of a higher bacteria count and
then turn it into a marketing edge. We have nature
on our side. Shakti is a food which has been
fermented with probiotics and the lab tests are done within their
natural Colony-Forming-Units as part of the finished
product. Furthermore, it is only the fermentation
process which is trademarked, not our probiotic culture.
Under international trade law, no patent or
trademark will be issued on a product that occurs
naturally. Therefore, a patent or trademarked
bacteria culture would be a warning signal that the organisms have been
genetically modified.
A horse would take the same serving size as a
human being, while your cats and dogs need only a pinch every
day. Animals with severe conditions such as
arthritis should take more, and should benefit greatly from Shakti.
