The threat of illness is a reality for every person. Chronic lifestyle related diseases have become the largest killers in our modern world. Research, however, has demonstrated that nutrition plays a critical role in protection against disease.

However, people do not obtain sufficient quantities of essential nutrients from food. Soils have become depleted of essential nutrients; the nutrient value of food has been eroded through modern processing, transportation and preservatives. These factors, combined with poor food choices and imbalanced diets, contribute to an inadequate intake of vital nutrients. Nutritional supplementation is, therefore, essential in the modern world.

Unfortunately, there are significant differences in the quality and efficacy of different nutrient supplements available. The countless brands of vitamins and minerals available today all use isolated nutrients which are removed from their natural environment and presented in a synthetic chemical format. The body has immense difficulty in recognising and processing these chemically isolated nutrients. Furthermore, because these isolated chemicals are not combined with other food elements including proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, they are poorly absorbed by the body and are also not effectively utilised.

Ultragard forté is a complete supplement providing the dosage of vitamins and minerals required by the body on a daily basis, ensuring that the body gets an optimum amount of nutrients in a form as close to nature as possible.

Ultragard forté is considered to be the ultimate daily supplement. This highly advanced supplement combines both the combination of Phytocology® and FoodState® technology in a single, powerful product.

Probiotics are live micro-organisms that benefit digestion by improving the balance of intestinal micro-organisms. Prebiotics on the other hand, provide "food" for the probiotics and therefore ensure that these work effectively. Floraplex is a supplement that combines the benefits of probiotics with this of prebiotics and is known as a symbiotic supplement.

The gastrointestinal tract is a complex ecosystem in which there is a deliate balance between the specie s of bacteria. Most of the bacteria are present in the colon where the concentration tanges between 1011 -1012 colony forming units (CFU) per millilitre. The beneficial use of micro-organsims in food fermentation such as dairy products has been used for hundres of years. The two species thought to have the most beneficial effects are Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus and accordingly have been included in Floraplex.

Bififobacteria appear to be the most important micro-organsims in the intestine for providing a microbial barrier  to infection. These bacteria help increase the level of immune cells. Floraplex contain Bifidobacterium bifidus , Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium infantis.

Lactobacillus refers to the bacteria’s ability to produce lactic acid. Lactobacilli are considered "friendly" bacteria and are taken for the purpose of recolonizing areas of the gut where they would normally occur. The body relies on the normal micro-organisms for several functions including metabolizing food, absorbing nutrients and preventing colonization by harmful bacteria. Lactobacilli appear to improve the bioavailability of minerals, stabilize the gut mucosal barrier and decrease intestinal permeability. Floraplex contains Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.

Fructo-oligosaccharides make up the prebiotic component of Floraplex. These are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth and/or the activity of the probiotics.
