Our microbiome consists of 100 trillion bacteria. Thats about 100 times more bacteria than body cells. In total, our microbiome makes up one to two kilograms of our body weight. The vast majority of these bacteria reside in the gastrointestinal tract. Our product MacroActive consists primarily of lactic acid bacteria, containing 6 different non-histamine-producing bacterial strains (44 billion CFU). The enteric-coated capsules, made of cellulose, protect the beneficial bacteria cultures from the low pH of the stomach and digestive enzymes. They open in the first section of the small intestine and from there disperse towards the large intestine. The formula combines vitamins, high-quality colostrum (30% IgA), and chondroitin sulfate. Each daily dose of MacroActive provides 50 µg (2,000 IU) of vitamin D and 450 µg RE (1,500 IU) of vitamin A, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. The oleic acid it contains acts as a carrier molecule and improves the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins D3, K2 (MK-7, all-trans), and A. Colostrum, also known as first milk, contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. Our colostrum is pure, raw cows milk, produced according to ethical guidelines, using only surplus milk from cows raised in absolutely species-appropriate conditions. Due to natural lactose breakdown, colostrum is virtually lactose-free (< 0.01 g/100 g) and is gently freeze-dried (not spray-dried). Chondroitin sulfate (bovine) is an important building block for bones, cartilage, and connective tissue. Recommended intake Take 3 capsules once daily. For optimal absorption, take at least 15 minutes before a meal with 250 ml of still, lukewarm water or, alternatively, with a teaspoon of Omega-3 oil to increase bioavailability.
