Body Ecology's Essential Duo
Benefits
Promotes:
- The natural balance and regeneration of intestinal
flora
- The intestinal part of the human immune system
- Metabolism through improved digestion
Did you know that:
About 1 to 1.5 kg of our body weight is made up of microorganisms
living in our intestine. They
form the vital intestinal flora.
The main probiotic microorganisms found in the human intestine
are Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.
Bifidobacteria as well as Lactobacilli belong to the first
bacteria that dwell in the intestine of babies and become an essential
component of intestinal flora. These
two Microorganisms are the most essential for maintaining proper digestion,
and work in a symbiotic relationship to promote each other's growth.
Hence the name Essential Duo.
Essential Duo supplies your intestine with high numbers of
the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria
longum.
Body Ecology Essential Duo contains:
Bifidobacterium (Bf.) longum BB536
Lactobacillus (Lb.) acidophilus (freeze-dried)
FOS (a soluble vegetable fiber which stimulates the growth of probiotic
microorganisms)
Contains 6 packets, each of which can be transferred to make up to 3
batches. Transfer: 1/4 cup of the previous batch will ferment 1 quart
of liquid. 1 cup will make one gallon, and so on. For prolonged
shelf life, keep cultures refrigerated before using.
Essential Duo is gluten free.
Suggested Use:
Use Essential Duo just like you would
the kefir starter culture. To activate starter for initial usage:
Into container (preferably glass with lid), mix together the entire
contents of one foil package of Essential Duo culture and one quart
of slightly warmed (about skin temperature or 92 degrees) liquid,
preferably water from a young green coconut. Essential Duo can also
be used to ferment soy, coconut, rice, goat, or sheep milk.
Shake, stir or whip with a whisk to mix well. Put lid on container.
Let this mixture ferment at 72-75 F for 24-48 hours. (You will notice
it is ready if the coconut water becomes cloudy and has a distinctive,
sour taste. It will maintain its water-like consistency.)
Once ready, 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.
* Directions for transferring Essential Duo after the initial batch
has been made are included inside packaging.
* Donna Gates recommends adding Essential Duo starter to the liquid
found inside the young, green coconut.
Shelf life is 12 months from the manufactured date, or longer when
stored in a freezer.
