Ethical Nutrients Inner Health Plus Questions & Answers

Ok, well I did. And no problems.

It's what's recommended for women if you are on a course of antibiotics to keep the balance right down there.

Robert, this question is one for your renal specialist, not product review, speak to your doctor please! With regard to warfarin you should repeat INR within 3 to 5 days of starting or stopping any new medication and this includes over the counter preparations, as INR response can be very individual and not always predictable, good luck.

You may get a herxeimer reaction from removing alcohol and changing your diet. I guess it depends how much alcohol you were consuming per day and whether the Fodmap diet you're following also is scientifically based
and customised around tested food intolerances and food allergies you may have. If you're continuing to consume foods or ingredients that you have unknowingly developed severe intolerance to, that could also be the problem and account for ongoing bloating and gas, amongst other symptoms or it could be side effect from certain medications you may also be taking... If you have diagnosed IBS, wouldn't your integrative GP or naturopath have done exhaustive gut testing? Hope you get some relief soon, though.

Dog probiotics usually contain a strain of bacteria that the human ones don't, I don't think it would do any harm at all but it probably won't have the same impact that specialised canine ones have.

Hi Maria
Probably best to seek a second opinion from another health care professional as I am not a GP & cannot give out medical advice. I hope you are able to receive the appropriate treatment for your health problem soon :)

Hi
Take a probiotic for a short period of time to permanently repopulate your bacteria.

WHEN TO TAKE INNER HEALTH PLUS
The best time to take Inner Health Plus is when you remember to! For many people it is easier to take Inner Health Plus with a meal. Fortunately the bacteria in the Inner Health Plus Range are resistant to stomach acid and bile so they can survive the harsh environment in your stomach when you eat. Some people find that they prefer to take it before breakfast, others prefer to take it as the last thing at night before going to bed. Fortunately it does not really matter when you take it, so long as you remember to take it. If you do forget to take your Inner Health Plus before you eat a meal, you can take the capsule with food. The only time when it does matter, is if you are taking antibiotics. If this is the case then separate the dose of Inner Health Plus from the antibiotics by at least two hours.

Hi
Not sure about freezing them to take with you overseas, but here is the recommended temperature range that you should keep them at during transit from the shop to your fridge at home:
"It is recommended that you store at 2°C to 8°C when not being transported. (Refrigerate. Do not freeze.)"
Hope this helps.

Hi

While they sound very similar and are often confused, prebiotics and probiotics are not the same, although they both help to enhance the growth of healthy bacteria in the body and aid healthy digestion.

Probiotics are types of ‘living’ friendly bacteria similar to those that inhabit our digestive tract. They are naturally found in cultured or fermented foods such as yoghurt, buttermilk, aged cheese, sauerkraut, sourdough bread, miso, tempeh and kombucha a type of fermented tea and can also be taken in supplement form. Probiotics help to maintain healthy levels of good bacteria in the intestines, they support our immune defences, are useful for anyone suffering from the uncomfortable symptoms of bloating, gas or flatulence and may assist in decreasing the duration of diarrhoea in kids. They may also help to restore good bacteria after a course of antibiotics. There are many different types of probiotics and each behaves a little differently. You might be familiar with lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidibacterium lactis, which are often found in yoghurt.

Prebiotics are ‘non‐living’ food ingredients that reach the large intestine unaffected by digestion, and ‘feed’ the good bacteria in our gut helping them to grow and flourish. Prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galacto‐oligosaccharides (GOS) are naturally found in many foods including:

Legumes
Whole wheat products
Rye based foods
Artichokes
Onions
Cabbage
Garlic and
Chicory root which contains inulin
Having a combination of prebiotic and probiotic rich foods and topping up with a supplement if needed can help our bodies maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria and support health and wellbeing. They may be especially beneficial for active growing bodies to support their developing digestive and immune systems and to help relieve tummy troubles such as diarrhoea.

Hope this answers your question.
