FAQs
The World Health Organisation defines probiotics as “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”.
Probiotics support the body’s natural defences, starting in the digestive tract by naturally restoring the balance of “good” beneficial bacteria in the gut. 70%-80% of our immune system lives in our digestive tract, so a healthy and balanced digestive systems plays a very important role in strengthening overall health and well-being.
Firstly, the product is a liquid, but unlike anything currently available in the UK. The reason that we consider our product superior to other bacterial or probiotic supplements is simply that unlike most biological products available, Rawbiotics is made up of three classes of bacteria, as opposed to the usual single-strain bacterial products. The product is brewed at body temperature and stable at room temperature. It is completely raw and natural. One of the major benefits of Rawbiotics is that it not only consumes toxins and eliminates pathogens, but also, through its extremely powerful probiotic qualities, promotes health and life. Rawbiotics technology is one of the only technologies on the planet that allows for a variety of different classes of bacteria to be grown and maintained stably in a probiotic consortium.
Rawbiotics are a unique and highly effective combination of beneficial microorganisms (or probiotic bacteria) that operate as an effective group to balance and regenerate any environment into which they are introduced, enabling living organisms (plants, animals, human bodies) to function to their full potential.
The fact that bacteria are able to do this is not something new. In fact, since the beginnings of life on Earth, bacteria have been a vital part of the life cycle of every living organism on the planet. It is bacteria that allow plants, animals and humans alike to use the nutrition from their foods. Bacteria are involved in the growth and correct functioning of cells. They help living organisms to create natural vitamins and antibiotics, and are a major factor in fighting disease. To sum it all up: life cannot survive without the work of bacteria.
In order for any probiotic to be effective, the bacteria must get through to the large intestine, as this is where they need to work. However, in order to do this they must pass through your stomach and small intestine. Due to the acid within your stomach, and other enzymes and bile salts in your small intestine, this can often be very difficult and the beneficial bacteria in them can struggle to live. To avoid this, some probiotics are freeze-dried, but this has drawbacks, as the probiotics have to be reactivated before they can get to work - and because this process takes time, many pass right through your digestive system before they’ve had a chance to wake up and work. Freezing can also alter the structure and efficiency of bacteria so these freeze dried products simply aren’t as effective.
Rawbiotics products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. No Animal derived products are used in the culturing or production of our products.
Yes, all of our ingredients are 100% natural. We do not use any artificial ingredients.
Yes!
Yes, but only naturally occurring sugar from organic fruit juices. These sugars are needed for the fermentation process.
Very rarely. Occasionally the body may start to detox and get rid of chemicals which have been in your system, resulting in mild diarrhoea or gas. If this occurs too suddenly, just cut down quantity and increase slowly until the body is comfortable with it. Any side effects experienced will be as a result of the detox action of the beneficial bacteria. This is a good thing as it shows the body is cleansing itself.
Drink 30ml of Rawbiotics daily.
Rawbiotics can be taken at anytime. With or without meals, morning or evening. For maximum benefit, take Rawbiotics at the same time each day.
We use different herbs in each of these products. For more information on the ingredients please click here
To answer your question, specific tests done by our parent company in the USA confirm that the microbes in Rawbiotics survive ph. levels as low as 1.0 This is lower than the ph. of the stomach. The fact is that the natural microorganisms that occur in the gut arrived there via the stomach, so while some may not survive, it is generally the ones we don’t want! The ph. of Rawbiotics is in the range of 3.0 – 3.5 (Mainly lactic acid) which is already quite low. One of the key purposes of the stomach is to act as a sterilizing or sanitizing tank. The low ph. kills almost all of the pathogens provided we chew the food correctly. Our ancestors as recently as 100 years ago ate food that would probably kill most of us today! In addition, the microbes in Rawbiotics are extremely robust. Most conventional “probiotics” are produced from what is known as pure cultures and tend to be very fragile, so the chances are that a lot of them will be affected by the stomach acid. The multi-class, multi-strain nature of Rawbiotics means it is very adaptable under a wide ranging set of environmental variables.
Yes, you can. The gastro-intestinal tract’s healthy function relies on the presence of beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria aid in digestion, correct pH balance (acidity), the processing of nutrients and the prevention of the build-up of harmful bacteria. Beneficial bacteria do not interfere with medication. In fact, they are almost completely killed off with the use of antibiotics and the immune system is hugely compromised by the toxins in most medical drugs. Taking Rawbiotics help to protect the body from harmful toxins. If in any doubt always consult your doctor.
No, it is a “live” microbial product. The microbes go dormant if refrigerated. Store at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
This is the natural yeast that forms when the product is exposed to oxygen (in other words, once the bottle has been opened) Do not shake it, it is normal for it to be there.
Yes but it depends on age of the baby. Newborn babies, a couple of drops. Increase with age to half teaspoon and then one teaspoon. Please get in touch if you are interested in Rawbiotics KIDS info@rawbiotics.co.uk
No. We pride ourselves on having an all natural and pure product. For this reason we do not believe in adding any extra flavourings to our product.
The product has a 6 week shelf life once the bottle has been opened. It will get a really “rotten” smell when it goes off.
Yes – it is safe to take long-term. Some people may switch between Rawbiotics GUT & Rawbiotics DAILY at specific times depending on their needs. A regular daily intake is recommended to maintain balanced gut flora and to support your digestive and immune system.
As we are all very different as individuals, improvement seen will vary between each of us. This can range from a few days to a few months.
Yes, Rawbiotics is safe to take during pregnancy. However, we would always recommend that advice should be sought from your GP/Health Care Practitioner whenever taking supplements.
Rawbiotics is a food supplement and not a medicine. Evidence shows that there should be no side effect on other medication taken alongside Rawbiotics. However, please seek advice from your doctor or health care practitioner if you are unsure.
Rawbiotics is shipped within one to two business days and is sent for next day delivery. Please see our shipping times here. If you have not received your order within the shipping time frame then please email us with your order number so we can investigate. info@rawbiotics.co.uk
Rawbiotics can handle from just above freezing right up to 45 °C Trials done in the USA showed a 25% reduction over 24 hours at 65 °C. So it is robust.
There is no problem with transport motion. We just don’t want you vigorously shaking the product daily. The microbes are predominantly anaerobic (which means they don’t need oxygen as part of their metabolic process), so keeping oxygen levels low encourages growth
