Fermented symbiotics - Goldspice
Your Flora GOLDSPICE was developed as a dietary supplement for individuals suffering from intestinal diseases falling into the category of non-specific inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In Goldspice, the prebiotic function is represented by the herbs turmeric and ginger.
Why buy
Living Culture synbiotics from Living Nutrition differ from conventional fermented foods in several key ways. Fermentation uses a combination of the most recognised "superior" fermentation processes: namely kefir (water) with kombucha. The fermentation process is carried out very carefully to maximise microbial diversity and activity.
For the entire production process, they use only certified organic ingredients and traditional methods to achieve the best possible results. In the final stages of fermentation, they freeze-dry the contained ingredients to preserve them naturally, and then analyze the final product to determine its nutritional and microbial values.
The synbiotic blend YOUR FLORA provides the body with a complete living ecosystem of microorganisms and nutrients = the body receives the maximum amount of activated nutrition without compromise. Synbiotics represent a new, more effective generation of dietary supplements that combine the positive effects of prebiotics with probiotics.
No fillers, binders, excipients, additives or artificial ingredients are ever used in Living Nutrition products.
Kefir-kombucha fermented synbiotics go far beyond the function of probiotics. It creates a natural, diverse ecosystem with over 100 strains of beneficial microbes and nutrients that nourish the digestive flora.
What are symbiotics Living Nutrition
- Kefir style fermentation in small batches over a period of one month.
- Made with 35 strains of important microorganisms.
- Contains more than 1 billion live probiotic bacteria (CFU) at the time of production.
- It provides a complete eco-system of holistic foods.
- Rich in bioavailable nutrients and enzymes.
- Fermented soy foods such as miso, tempeh or natto have been consumed for centuries and are considered a valuable source of natural biotics and protein for vegetarians and vegans.
Symbiotics represent a new, more effective generation of dietary supplements that combine the positive effects of prebiotics with probiotics. Why the name symbiotics? Symbiosis is the close relationship of different organisms within an ecosystem that harmoniously complement each other for mutual benefit.
In the case of YOUR FLORA, these are prebiotic carriers in the form of dried fruits and vegetables, and probiotic cultures in the form of 35 strains of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria - Kefi-soya™.
The resulting positive effect of this symbiosis allows live bacteria to better survive in the human gut and colonise it properly, as the human body cannot sufficiently restore the gut microflora on its own. Moreover, its population decreases with advancing years, stress, inappropriate diet, alcohol and drug consumption, smoking, and antibiotic and chemotherapy drugs.
These combination products help with various intestinal and digestive problems associated with antibiotic use, diarrhea or constipation, and generally contribute to improving overall immunity and health.

Did you know that...?
Bacteria can divide every 15-20 minutes if conditions in the gut are favourable. Under unfavourable conditions, the bacteria are likely to either hibernate or die.
- 1 bacterium multiplies to 64 billion after 12 hours in a favourable and supported environment.
- 100 billion bacteria become zero in a toxic environment after 1 hour.
The intestines represent the largest contact surface of the body with the environment. They are therefore responsible for 70-80% of the immune system and thus our health.
Don't be fooled by the claim that more good bacteria in one capsule means better effectiveness for you. The fact remains that all living organisms need a healthy environment to survive and thrive.
A good environment is more important for good bacteria and your gut flora than the sheer number of bacteria present.
A scarecrow called soy
Research has shown that fermented soy foods are the best source of nutrition for a healthy gut microbiome. In recent years, soy itself has gained a mixed reputation, mainly due to the way it is grown, processed and consumed.
But what is forgotten is that soy in its fermented form, in foods such as miso, tempeh or natto, is highly nutritious and extremely beneficial for a healthy gut environment. Fermentation completely changes its original structure, which has a rather negative reputation.
Two studies conducted at the University of Illinois (UI) show that fermenting soy and its products can dramatically reduce the likelihood of of an allergic reaction.

Why choose symbiotics instead of probiotics
Symbiotics represent a new, more effective generation of dietary supplements that combine the positive effects of prebiotics with probiotics. Symbiosis is the close relationship of different organisms within an ecosystem that harmoniously complement each other for mutual benefit.
In the case of Your Flora, these are prebiotic carriers in the form of dried fruits and vegetables, and probiotic cultures in the form of 35 strains of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria - Kefi-soya™.
The resulting positive effect of this symbiosis allows live bacteria to better survive in the human gut and colonise it properly, as the human body cannot sufficiently restore the gut microflora on its own.
Moreover, its population decreases with advancing years, stress, inappropriate diet, alcohol and drug consumption, smoking, and antibiotic and chemotherapy drugs.
These combination products help with various intestinal and digestive problems associated with antibiotic use, diarrhea or constipation, and generally contribute to improving overall immunity and health.
The difference between prebiotics, probiotics and symbiotics
Prebiotics are essentially indigestible components of the diet and represent a "substrate" for beneficial intestinal bacteria, i.e. they induce specific changes in the composition and activity of the intestinal flora, in particular they promote the growth and multiplication of these friendly bacteria, thus benefiting their host. Prebiotics are mainly fibre-based, especially oligosaccharides, which are present in cereals, fruits and vegetables.
In the case of the YOUR FLORA symbiotic range, each product contains a specific fruit, vegetable or herb for its unique digestive properties. You will find, among others, banana, chamomile, aloe vera or peppermint.
Probiotics are live microorganisms, in other words, beneficial bacteria that live in the intestines. In the case of YOUR FLORA, there are 35 species of these live cultures, with beneficial effects on the health of the host when administered in adequate quantities.
Our digestive tract contains a huge variety of bacteria. However, from a health point of view, it is desirable that the digestive tract is populated with the right bacteria, with a predominance of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. These bacteria protect the organism from pathogens that have a negative effect on the human body.
Symbiotics are products that contain both a probiotic and a prebiotic at the same time. The beneficial effects of these two groups thus complement each other.
Dosage
Adults: Take 1 capsule twice daily with meals. If needed, increase to 2 capsules twice daily with meals.
Avoid simultaneous use with hot foods or drinks, which will damage the very fragile nutrients.
Your Flora Goldspice can be combined with other Living Nutrition products.
Your Flora synbiotics do not need to be kept in the refrigerator. They are therefore ideal for travel and daily use without hindrance.

It is a synbiotic™ fermentation of kefir with kombucha to ensure live cultures. Foods like turmeric and ginger are used for a cold, slow digestive system. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called 'missing digestive fire'.
Why fermented Living Nutrition products
Living Nutrition 's fermentation-activated capsules offer a superior level of active ingredients. Thanks to fermentation, these vital components are activated and the human body is able to absorb them and make the most of their positive effects. Fermented mushrooms retain their holistic synergy while being much more concentrated and bioavailable.
Thanks to the fermentation process, they are also rich in beneficial microbes, enzymes and contain a number of signal molecules specific to the fermentation process.
Each capsule contains an organic blend of mushrooms fermented over an extended period of time using Living Nutrition's signature kefir-kombucha method, then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all of the unique nutrients. The mushrooms are then encapsulated in an organic fermented tapioca capsule, making them truly 100% organic inside and out.
Who is behind the production?
The nutritional supplement is formulated by renowned English nutritional therapist, Graham Botfield, to achieve the right synergy of nutrients in which each food and herb perfectly complement each other.
Only the best organic ingredients are used for freshness and vitality. The fermentation production process (details under the tab titled Fermentation Process) is also designed and controlled by Graham.
The production of each mixture in this product line is supervised individually, as each mixture has different composition, requirements and purpose. All fermented blends are gently freeze-dried to preserve their freshness and capture the highest possible amount of active nutrients.
Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher who specialises in the digestive microbiome and the traditional use of herbs. He has worked with respected dietary supplement brands, including New Chapter.
Its founder and master herbalist, Paul Schulick, was a major influence on Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired dietary supplements. Together with another colleague, an expert in microbiology, Graham is constantly developing new fermented products and researching their benefits.
Graham's great passion, besides fermentation, is education. He uses his research at Living Nutrition to lecture on the benefits of fermented plants for modern health conditions. At Living Nutrition, we continue to be inspired by Graham's research to create products that work in harmony with the body's natural ecology.

History of Living Nutrition
2014
LN's beginnings were very humble. Back then, everything was run from a single room in Graham's house in Sussex with some help from daughter Ella. The product line was initially launched with only one product, Your Flora, and the Signature herbal line.
2016
With the growing popularity and enthusiastic feedback reaching all over Europe, Graham began to develop and add more products. To manage the logistics, Living Nutrition moved under Living Planet Distribution so Graham could focus more on formulations and research.
2019
This has been a pivotal year for Living Nutrition. Their popularity has grown significantly due to customer feedback and interest in our fermentation. LN has won several awards, including the Natural and Organic award for best new herbal product for their fermented ashwagandha. They decided to take the big step and take fermentation into their own hands.
This has allowed them to introduce some innovations, including the use of the Flask system to "restructure" the input water and some new methods to increase the efficiency and diversity of the microbes in their fermentation process. In collaboration with research institutions, they have now been able to study the effects of our fermentation for different conditions.
2021
In April, LN introduced a second generation of products with new eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging and an even more effective line of fermented products.

"If we change our approach to medicine from fighting disease to creating health, we will move from mega-dosing inert nutrients to the more subtle healing elements found in nature. Then we will value plants for their natural intelligence that feeds information to our many cellular senses to promote healing. Fermentation is nature's alchemy that evolves plants to a higher level of vitality and nutrition, creating compounds that communicate balance and harmony to our bodies on all levels."

Living Nutrition's unique fermentation process
Step #1
At the beginning of this process is the careful selection of the freshest organic ingredients (biodynamic if possible). The water used is also double filtered and restructured using a specialised Flaska system.
Step #2
A highly concentrated and active inoculum is created by a hybrid of organic kefir grains and organic kombucha.
Step #3
An inoculum is added to the organic herbs and foods, the whole mixture is then fermented in small 10 litre batches under optimal conditions.
Step #4
After many weeks of care, including daily stirring and testing, fermentation is finally complete.
Step #5
The ferments are then carefully freeze-dried to remove all water and preserve all the delicate nutrients, enzymes and microbes.
Step #6
The finished product is finally sealed in an organic vegetable capsule wrapped in an amber glass bottle and 100% plastic-free packaging.
