Yolac Probiotica [capsules]

Five different strains of proven quality
The strains in Plantina Yolac have been identified, registered and investigated for their effectiveness. That makes the friendly intestinal bacteria in Yolac unique. This can be said of very few probiotic products in the Netherlands. It is rare for the strains to be actually named, while it is specifically the strains that deliver the characteristics of the probiotics. Therefore always ask which strains are used, and where they have been researched. As is the case with the Yolac strains.

Yolac Probiotica [capsules]

Characteristics that make Plantina Yolac Probiotics special
As well as a clear identification of the bacterial strains, Plantina Yolac has other qualities:
* five strains (each strain with its own particular health characteristics)
* sufficiently high concentrations (in total one billion bacteria per capsule)
* resistant to stomach acids, gastric acid, and pancreatic enzymes, thus viable in the intestine.
* the strains have been found to be safe and enjoy GRAS status (Generally Recognised As Safe)
* if stored well, guaranteed shelf life 2 years

Plantina Yolac in capsule form
Although the Plantina Yolac Probiotics [powder] is more effective, the capsule form has the advantage that it is easier to use and is ideal for travel. The capsules can be taken for daily maintenance dosage.

Intestine

Our intestine is home to no less than eleven trillion bacteria (more than the number of cells that make up our body, and of 400 different varieties!). In terms of weight, this adds up to around 1.5 kg. These residents must live in harmony with one another and with the host, the human being. As is the case in every community, there are also less friendly members of the intestinal flora community. However, if the eco system is in balance, these are held in check by the friendly varieties. Thanks to scientific research, above all the Lacto bacillus and Bifido bacteria are well-known. These bacteria produce substances such as organic acids (including lactic acid), hydrogen peroxide (H202) and 'acidophylline', a natural antibiotic. Using these substances, they keep the less pleasant varieties under control.By supporting the friendly dextro-rotating lactic acid-producing intestinal bacteria in this way, the intestine is regulated. This means that irrespective of its condition prior to taking Yolac, defecation is normalised. This relates not only to the nature of the defecation, but also the frequency of bowel movements. Healthy defecation means at least once a day, preferably twice a day, of which once in the morning. This is the ideal situation.
 

Immune system

The intestine is in direct contact with the immune system. Cells in the intestinal wall are in fact a direct component of that immune system. Bacteria such as those in Yolac work in close cooperation with the intestinal wall cells. As a consequence, they can be viewed literally as 'bodyguards'. Together with the intestinal wall cells, they ensure that foreign and unwanted interlopers are unable to penetrate into our body. They activate immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes.

Skin

It may be difficult to imagine, but as the condition of the intestine improves, so skin condition is automatically also improved. This is because the intestine is such an important secretion organ. If the intestine is not functioning correctly, waste substances search for other routes to leave the body. For example, via the skin.
Did you know that the skin is considered one of the body’s secretion organs? In many cases, it is possible to assess the condition of the intestine, by the colour of the skin.

Threats

A healthy intestine can be compared with an area of unspoilt nature, in which the most beautiful flowers live together in perfect harmony, and where they are able to flourish, grow and flower. An area like this is home to poppies, camomile, dandelions and buttercups, surrounded by other plant varieties. Such an area of natural beauty deserves to be preserved, particularly when threatened.

From time to time, the condition of your intestine is put to the test, through wrong eating habits (preservatives, the wrong fats, sweet foods), the use of antibiotics (often as a child) or even the taking of pills, and stress. As a consequence, the balance is disrupted. The friendly intestinal bacteria then succumb to less benign micro-organisms, such as unfriendly intestinal bacteria and fungi. These gain the upper hand, and overrun 'your nature conservation area'. You immediately recognise this in your bowel movements. Defecation should neither be too hard, nor too soft.

Optimum intestinal fitness, optimum defecation
Your intestines are in optimum condition if your defecation is consistent and solid, and evenly brown in colour. A 'stool' should be approx. 10 cm long, with a round top and a pointed tip. It should not smell unpleasantly (primarily due to poorly digested meat). When flushing the toilet, no trace should be left. Also very important: bowel movements at least once a day, preferably twice a day, once in the morning.

Yolac supports 'your nature conservation area'
The Yolac products support the flora in your intestine. Millions of benign Yolac bacteria help to restore harmony and balance. They support the regular residents of the intestines, which, in terms of numbers and quality, may have been under pressure. Thanks to this new, powerful army, sufficient lactic acid is once again produced. This is important because in a 'moderately acidic' environment, the good bacteria flourish and are able to multiply without restraint. The opponents, on the other hand, are poorly equipped to cope with an acid environment.

Yolac-capsules or Yolac-powder?

Powder or capsule is a question of personal preference. The advantage of the powder is that it is stronger than the capsule and contains substances that encourage the multiplication of the bacteria in the intestine. The advantage of the capsules is that they easier and more practical to take.

Travelling

Every globetrotter knows that in foreign and far-off countries, the stomach can easily become unsettled. This is because the residents of the intestine are confronted with entirely foreign, not always friendly local counterparts. They are not yet resistant to these 'foreigners'. As a consequence, they are in urgent need of support. It is recommended that you start taking Yolac at least one week before you start your journey, preferably in the form of Yolac powder. This means that during the actual period of travel, you can take the capsules with you, because they are easier in use.

Yolac Vegicaps

The Yolac capsule itself – the outer coating – just like the content, is 100% vegetarian and free from preservatives. This differs from many other capsules, produced from animal gelatine.
