Products produced without harmful additives or pollutants
We know of approximately 400 different strains of bacteria. Environmental pollution, a bad diet, medicines, preservatives, physical and mental stress and antibiotics in particular, destroy much of the good bacteria in our body. Healthy intestinal flora performs important tasks in our metabolism and immune system, improving our defences and keeping harmful bacteria in our intestines under control. A healthy intestinal flora supports the barrier function of the intestinal mucous membrane against digested poisons and allergens, preventing such unwanted substances from entering the blood circulation. Healthy digestion is important to the absorption of vitamins, minerals and trace elements and is even able to produce several vitally important vitamins itself.
The intestinal mucous membrane is a dense mesh network, preventing large molecules from migrating. If the intestines inhabit mostly bad bacteria, the mesh starts widening, allowing more and larger molecules to pass through. The undesirable bacteria escape into the blood system. Immediate results are a weakening of the immune system; approximately 80% of the immune system is affected by the intestines. Every tenth cell of the intestines is a lymphatic immune cell. This situation is also called "Leaky-Gut-Syndrome" (Dysbiosis). Leaking intestines are no longer able to produce a sufficient amount of immune cells.
The diet should be low in acid-forming foods, rich in alkali-forming foods and low in foods which promote fermentation. In order to restore the natural barrier function of the intestines, healthy living bacteria must be provided where necessary. Pro-biotics are food supplements containing viable healthy bacteria.
Rayoflora; combining vitamins, trace elements and 12 pro-biotic bacterial strains
The resorption rate of trace elements and vitamins is greater when they are supplemented in an acid preparation. The pH-value of Rayoflora has no negative influence on the body. The vitamins and trace elements promote the growth of the pro-biotic micro-organisms and protect them from the assaults by bad bacteria.
Minerals, vitamins and trace elements play an important part in the functions of the metabolism. They support the defence and detoxifying mechanisms of the immune system. Particularly important are the vitamins A, C and E and the trace element selenium in Rayoflora as they are antioxidants which attack ?free radicals? that harm our cells. Lifestyle and disturbance of the intestinal mucous membrane caused by a poor diet, lead to a high concentration of free radicals. We must not forget the B vitamin fraction (vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12 and niacin). These assist blood circulation as well as the regeneration of the intestinal mucous membrane.
Rayoflora supplies vital trace elements besides vitamins. In addition to selenium; it contains iron, manganese, zinc, copper, chromium, molybdenum and iodine. Trace elements activate the metabolism, supporting faster breakdown of acidic waste products. Plant extracts are also contained in Rayoflora.
