Bio-Strath is so much more than just a food supplement. The 62 nutrients nourish the body, while at the same time, the herbs help to restore it.
WHO IS BIO-STRATH
Bio-Strath® is a family-owned business founded in 1961 to produce this innovative herbal yeast product and was based on the work of Dr Walter Strathmeyer. Dr Strathmeyer discovered that when herbs and yeast were combined in a special proprietary blend, the resulting whole food supplement was rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbs, plus it contains numerous strengthening nutrients needed by the human body for efficient performance and good health.
ONLY GOODNESS GOES IN
The key to the Bio-Strath formula is the "good food yeast" known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are very similar to our own cells. The nutritive value of yeast places it high on the super foods list because it provides us with a complete spectrum of macro and micro nutrients. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the richest sources of the B-complex vitamins, along with 30 other vitamins and minerals. It is a rich source of protein, amino acids, nucleic acids and enzymes.
Yeast also has the unique ability to transform nutrients into a more highly bio-available form, thereby increasing the amount of nutrients that the body can absorb and assimilate. The assimilation factor is crucial because a nutritional supplement is only beneficial if the body can absorb and utilize the nutrients.The more bio-available the formulation, the greater the benefit that will be attained from the supplement.
THE BIO-STRATH PHILOSOPHY
Bio-Strath supplements are made with great care because we take the business of health very seriously. Our products are based on a select set of principles:
ü
Preserve the natural state of the active ingredients
ü
Maintain a synthetically-free, preservative-free product
ü
Honour the importance of balance and harmony between body, mind and spirit
ü
Proven efficacy in more than 44 studies
THE CONCENTRATED POWER OF NATURE
In the proprietary Bio-Strath production process, the yeast is fed a select group of 15 plant extracts. During this stage the yeast incorporates all of the beneficial properties of the herbs.Great care is taken during this process to reap the optimum amount of nutritive properties of the plants.
The yeast then undergoes a liquification process to increase the accessibility of all the nutrients. The complete process takes a total of two months.
WHAT MAKES BIO-STRATH UNIQUE
In the world of herbal supplements there is one small but important word to answer this question - Research! Bio-Strath has been shown to be clinically efficacious in:
ü
Enhancing memory and concentration
ü
Increasing energy and endurance
ü
Strengthening immune function
ü
Promoting overall wellness
Bio-Strath has been the subject of numerous studies over the past 40 years, scientifically proving its safety and efficacy. As a health-conscious consumer, this is your assurance that Bio-Strath is a viable nutritional product which can have a positive affect on your well-being.
BIO-STRATH & PREGNANCY
Nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy can create a variety of health problems for both the mother and the developing child. One of the most important nutrients during pregnancy is iron. This is due to the role iron plays in maintaining proper haemoglobin levels. Haemoglobin refers to the iron containing pigment of the red blood cells. It serves as an indicator of overall health of the pregnant mother. Clinical studies have demonstrated the positive role Bio-Strath has had on effectively maintaining healthy haemoglobin levels in pregnant women, as well as enhancing overall general well-being and vitality.
Although Bio-Strath is NOT an iron supplement, its readily absorbed nutrients (19 minerals/trace elements including iron in a natural form, 11 vitamins, 20 amino acids and 11 various vital substances) prove to be both beneficial and safe to use during pregnancy.
BIO-STRATH & CHILDREN
It's hard in these days of fast food, sugar cereals and processed meals to get kids to eat well. The pressure and commercialization of junk food bombards children constantly. It is no wonder conditions such as ADD/ADHD, colds, allergies and digestive disturbances are on the rise in youngsters. Look to Bio-Strath to help keep young bodies balanced and well-nourished.
The nutrients provided in Bio-Strath are very easy for growing bodies to absorb because they are already in a natural form, making it both readily absorbable and recognizable by the cells. Its vitamin and mineral content are supportive for the proper function of the immune system and, combined with a complete essential amino acid profile, serves to be especially useful for the growth process.Bio-Strath also carries with its immune strengthening properties the ability to promote concentration, improve responsiveness and enhance both mental and physical performance. Children suffering from conditions such as ADD/ADHD stand to benefit from this amazing formula. Bio-Strath provides the essential nutrition often missing from these children's diets, helping to recreate the state of homeostasis (or balance) in their systems.
In addition, Bio-Strath naturally balances blood sugar levels.Finally, creating a desired state of natural balance in children results in a decrease of illness, which in turn reduces the need for antibiotics. (Note: Antibiotics often have negative side effects, especially in children, and are responsible for the breakdown of healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract. Supplementing with Bio-Strath will help fortify their delicate immune systems).

A WORD ABOUT BIO-STRATH & CANDIDA
Individuals who are susceptible to candida infections can take Bio-Strath without worry. The very process of producing Bio-Strath renders the yeast biologically inactive and therefore the possibility of infection from this source is not possible. Secondly, this form of yeast is unrelated to candida yeast. In fact, the Bio-Strath form of yeast is an ideal nutrient medium for healthy intestinal flora, which is essential in aiding against candida infections.
