Who is Udo Erasmus?
Udo Erasmus is an international
authority on fats, oils, cholesterol
and human health.
Probiotic
Solutions
for every body
Udo received his B.Sc. in Honours
Zoology from the University of British
Columbia and followed this with
graduate studies in Biochemistry and
Genetics. In 1980, his life took a
significant turn when he was
poisoned by pesticides. When conventional medicine was
unable to provide help, he concluded that his health was
his own responsibility and turned his attention to nutrition.
Several years of research culminated in his Canadian bestselling book Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill, which earned him
a Ph.D. in Nutrition.
In 1983, he began to pioneer technology for pressing and
packaging edible, fresh oils made with health in mind, by
excluding the three main factors that transform nutritious
oils into toxic ones: light, heat and oxygen. Until that time,
oils were highly processed by destructive methods,
sacrificing health benefits in order to attain longer shelf life.
Over the past 15 years, Udo has appeared on nationally
syndicated radio and television shows and has given
thousands of media interviews and lectures, educating
audiences around the world on the components of good
health. Presently, Udo continues to develop steps towards
optimum health and to work on his next book. Visit Udo at

Why do I need a probiotic supplement?
There are over 400 different species of bacteria – more than
100 trillion total bacteria – in the human intestinal tract.
Many dietary and lifestyle factors can easily throw off the
ratio of good to bad bacteria, causing common problems
such as excessive gas, bloating, diarrhea, intestinal toxicity,
constipation and poor absorption of nutrients. It is
important to replenish the supply of healthy bacteria on a
daily basis. In this way, you can prevent disease-causing
micro-organisms (like E. coli, salmonella and many others)
from taking over and crowding out the good bacteria.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are the beneficial, friendly bacteria that live in
the intestines. Although bacteria are usually associated
with germs and illness, it is only the pathogenic or “bad”
ones that cause imbalances of the intestinal microflora,
leading to a disease state. Probiotics, on the other hand,
help the body to function properly, encouraging optimal
digestion and fighting illness and disease.
Health begins in the gut
Surprising though it may be, those healthy bacteria in your
gastrointestinal tract (from the mouth right through to the
colon) are involved in a myriad of functions.
Probiotics:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Improve digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats
Promote regular bowel movements
Enhance immune function
Contribute to the absorption of minerals
Produce antioxidants
Participate in the manufacture of some B vitamins
Help inhibit food poisoning
Normalize skin conditions
Help reduce cholesterol
Maintain bone health
Help manage blood sugar levels
Improve the symptoms of lactose intolerance
Help combat fungal and yeast infections
Limit the action of disease-causing bacteria
Truly the foundation for a healthy immune system,
probiotics produce antioxidants and improve your digestion
and absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. They
synthesize B vitamins, which are necessary for a healthy
nervous system. Probiotics regulate elimination, correcting
both diarrhea and constipation.
Probiotics are widely recommended for fungal infections
(such as athlete’s foot) and yeast infections (vaginal,
systemic, or thrush caused by Candida albicans) because
they help crowd out harmful microbes that are trying to
take up residence. They also produce organic compounds
that increase intestinal acidity, inhibiting the reproduction
of many harmful bacteria. What’s more, probiotics produce
substances that act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable
bacteria.
Factors that lead to overgrowth of pathogenic
bacteria:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Poor eating habits – especially sugar and refined foods
Chlorinated drinking water
Stress, aging and disease
Born by caesarean section
Alcohol consumption
Bacterial infections
Traveler’s bugs
Antibiotics in food production or prescription
medications
Just right for your age or state of health
Human beings usually start life with a relatively healthy
intestinal tract. As we age, the balance of both healthy and
pathogenic bacteria shifts and changes. Infants have a
different ratio of probiotics than adults or seniors. People
with cholesterol problems, yeast overgrowth, poor oral
health or chronic bowel conditions require differing
amounts of certain bacterial strains. Udo’s Choice® Probiotic
Blends are specially designed to meet your specific needs.
Probiotics that survive stomach acid
While many probiotics on the market are to be taken on an
empty stomach, Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends are best
taken after meals. You may also open the capsules and mix
the powder directly with cool or warm (but not hot) foods,
simulating how some probiotics occur on raw foods in
nature. All of the bacterial strains chosen have been
specially developed and tested for their gastric resistance.
In vitro testing has proven that they do not suffer any
concentration loss after three hours at 37°C, at the acidic
pH of 3 or 4. Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends will therefore
safely pass through the stomach acid and reach the
intestinal tract at full potency. This eliminates the need for
enteric coating. These bacteria have also been proven to
tolerate bile, ensuring their survival throughout the entire
intestinal tract.
Guaranteed potency
Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends have two numbers depicting
the potency (also known as the active or viable cell count).
The higher number is the active cell count at the time of
manufacture. This bacterial count reflects only the number
of viable bacteria in the product; any damaged or
ineffective bacteria were not included in the count. The
other number (lower but still highly impressive) is the cell
count guaranteed at the expiration date.
Have probiotics… will travel!
Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends boast some of the highest
bacterial counts available. Udo’s Choice® guarantees a very
potent cell count even at the time of expiry, so long as the
bottle is kept refrigerated. Within one month, we can
assume a 2-4% decrease in viable cell count if the product
is refrigerated, versus a 20-40% decrease if left at room
temperature for 30 days. A quick calculation shows that
even if you can’t refrigerate your Udo’s Choice® Probiotic
Blend while traveling, it will still give you a powerful supply
of healthy bacteria even after a month away from home.
Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends can be frozen to extend shelf life. Refrigeration ensures
maximum potency and stability.
State-of-the-Art
Manufacturing
Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends are manufactured using very
careful techniques that guarantee bacterial potency and
therapeutic potential. The process is straightforward, using
state-of-the-art equipment and the knowledge of expert
technicians to produce probiotics at the highest possible
concentration and purity.
Mother culture and fermentation
Each strain of bacteria proliferates and increases
in volume in a culture medium until placed in the
fermentor. The resulting probiotic culture goes
from clear to cloudy as the bacteria reproduce.
Filtration – Once fermentation is complete,
the culture is concentrated to reduce its
volume. Cryoprotectants (including small
amounts of dairy and soy lecithin*) are added
to protect the bacteria so they will survive the
stressful freeze-drying phase and result in a
high bacterial concentration.
Lyophilization (freeze-drying)
The concentrated bacterial culture is frozen at
-40°C. Then, through a process called
sublimation, the ice is converted into steam,
yielding a solid crust ready for grinding.
Grinding – The crust is gently ground into a
fine powder with a high bacterial concentration.
This is called the pure culture.
Mixing – The pure culture is mixed with
excipients (inert ingredients that act as a vehicle for the pure culture)
so that standardized packaging is possible.
Packaging – Udo’s Choice
®
Probiotic Blends are available in
powder, capsule or lozenge formats, depending on the product.
Vegetarian capsules are used because they contain less moisture
than gelatin; this prolongs the shelf life of the probiotics. Product
integrity is further ensured by the use of recyclable, nitrogen-flushed
glass bottles and metal caps that allow neither air nor light to affect
the contents.
*Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends contain only an average of 1% dairy and soy lecithin combined.
Intestinal Flora: A Com plex and Diverse Universe
Lactobacillus
Bifidobacterium
live throughout the digestive tract
and are especially abundant in the
small intestine.
found mostly in the large intestine,
evolve and vary throughout the
human life cycle.
Friendly bacteria
and their different roles
Lactobacillus acidophilus produces lactic acid (which
inhibits yeast growth) as well as natural antibiotics, and
has been shown to inhibit the growth of pathogenic
bacteria such as salmonella, shigella, S. faecalis and E.
coli. Studies have shown that L. acidophilus is effective in
reducing lactose intolerance and reinforcing the immune
system, as well as reducing cholesterol levels.
Lactobacillus brevis is a transient bacterium that is
valued for its ability to help improve the symptoms of
lactose intolerance. L. brevis inhibits the growth of some
pathogens, and its proven antimicrobial effects support the
immune system.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a transient strain that
produces interferon, a protein that inhibits the replication
of invading viruses, on its way through the intestinal tract.
This bacterium is beneficial in cases of acute diarrhea and
lactose sensitivity. Traditionally, L. bulgaricus is found in
yogurt along with S. thermophilus.
Lactobacillus casei is commonly used for milk
fermentation and is naturally occurring in the mouth and
digestive tract. It breaks down carbohydrates and inhibits
the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the small intestine.
Studies have demonstrated L. casei’s antimicrobial effects
and its helpfulness in treating diarrhea caused by
antibiotics and viruses.
Lactobacillus plantarum secretes a naturally
occurring antibiotic called lactolin, giving it beneficial
antimicrobial activities. This probiotic is being studied for
its efficacy against allergies.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus occurs from the mouth to
the small intestine, and helps inhibit the pathogenic
bacteria involved in vaginal and urinary tract infections. It
produces a mucus coating called mucin, which prevents
toxins from entering the bloodstream and protects against
the invasion of harmful microbes. L. rhamnosus has been
shown to enhance the effectiveness of oral vaccinations
against rotaviruses (which cause vomiting and diarrhea)
and may help to remedy gastroenteritis (also called
“stomach flu”).
Lactobacillus salivarius, found in the mouth and small
intestine, has been shown to improve bleeding gums, tooth
decay, bad breath, thrush and canker sores. L. salivarius
breaks down proteins and produces B vitamins, enzymes
and lactic acid. Its strong antimicrobial effects have been
demonstrated clinically.
Bifidobacterium bifidum assists with proper digestion
and absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium and other
vitamins and minerals. It manufactures B vitamins and
produces lactic and acetic acids, which inhibit the growth of
unfriendly bacteria. Studies have shown that B. bifidum can
reduce the incidence of acute diarrhea in infants and is
beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
With regular use, B. bifidum can improve immunological
and inflammatory responses in seniors.
Bifidobacterium breve also produces beneficial lactic
and acetic acids. It has been shown to repress the growth of
ulcer-inducing bacteria. Recent studies have demonstrated
that B. breve populates the immature bowel of infants and
can help very low birth weight babies to gain weight.
Bifidobacterium infantis is the most important
probiotic found in infants’ colons and is effective in the
treatment of acute diarrhea. It stimulates the production of
immuno-modulating agents, and can fight such pathogens
as clostridia, salmonella, and shigella.
Bifidobacterium longum plays a direct role in
2 billion viable/active cells per gram
preventing invasion of pathogenic and putrefactive
bacteria. B. longum breaks down bile salts, helps to
synthesize B vitamins, and stimulates the immune system
through its effects on immunoglobulin A (IgA). Another
producer of the good acids (lactic and acetic), B. longum
has been clinically shown to improve lactose digestion and
constipation.
Lactobacillus lactis (also referred to as Streptococcus
lactis) is another transient bacterium that produces the
immuno-supportive lactic acid. Lc. lactis produces a
peptide called nisin, which has proven activity against
C. difficile. In addition to controlling acute diarrhea, it is
also recognized for its potential in the long-term
management of colitis.
Streptococcus thermophilus is a transient bacterium
L. lactis

Infant’s Blend
For infants and toddlers 0 – 5 years
Bifidobacteria – including B. infantis, B. bifidum and
B. breve – should represent the largest population of
beneficial bacteria in babies, as their immune defences are
not yet fully working. Babies get these friendly bacteria
from their mothers as they pass through a clean and
healthy birth canal. Approximately 60% of full-term
newborns who were born vaginally had B. infantis in their
feces (as they should), as opposed to only 9% of babies
born by Caesarean section. Also, breastfed babies have a
healthier composition of intestinal microflora than formulafed babies; this is because the heat used to pasteurize
formula kills all bacteria (both good and bad). The specific
strains used in Infant’s Blend have been specially chosen for
their value to infant health.

For adults 16– 65 years
A child’s healthy intestinal flora is similar to the bacteria
found in adults. The main difference is the strength because
children are smaller and require a lesser amount of these
probiotics. The strains used in Children’s Blend have been
specially chosen for their value to children’s health. If the
child is not able to swallow capsules, the easiest way to
provide this foundational support is to sprinkle the contents
on his or her meal.
Adults need much greater quantities of the same bacteria
that children need. The strains used in Adult’s Blend are at
the appropriate strength for healthy adults who wish to
support their immune systems. Along with good dietary and
lifestyle choices, Adult’s Blend allows for optimal digestive
and intestinal health – the foundation for the health of all
body systems.

Super 8 Hi-Potency
For seniors 65 years and up
For correcting yeast imbalance 5 years & up
Seniors generally need a lot of bifidobacteria to reach
optimum bowel health. Taking acidophilus without enough
bifidobacteria can lead to constipation – something to be
avoided so that toxins are not re-absorbed into the
bloodstream before exiting the body. This formula
emphasizes the particular bifido strains necessary for health
and longevity in seniors. This blend is also designed to
support the immune system, a common concern amongst
older members of our population.
Ideally, healthy and pathogenic micro-organisms, yeast and
fungi balance each other out in the intestines. However, the
balance is easily disrupted by the modern diet (high in
refined carbohydrates and sugars), chlorinated water, stress
and antibiotic medications. Yeast overgrowth (commonly
from Candida albicans) starts in the intestines, causing
digestive problems such as gas, bloating, and passing
undigested food. As it spreads throughout the body, the
imbalance may lead to vaginal yeast infections and thrush.
This overgrowth can also become systemic, resulting in
allergies, autoimmune disorders, “brain fog” and memory
problems, to name but a few. The strains in Super 8 HiPotency have been specially chosen to correct yeast
overgrowth and facilitate the health of the small intestine.

Super 5 Lozenge
For bowel health 16 years and up
For oral health for all ages
More people suffer from bowel problems than care to admit
it. While fibre is an important factor, it does not always fix
the problems that cause many people great stress. A lack
of bifidobacteria in the large intestine has serious
repercussions, from seemingly harmless symptoms like gas
and bloating, to more troublesome ones like diarrhea or
abdominal pain. Paradoxically, although constipation may
seem to be the opposite of diarrhea, both of these can
be remedied by giving the gut the right balance of
bifidobacteria, lactobacilli and other beneficial bacteria.
Designed especially for long-term sufferers of chronic bowel
problems, Hi-Potency Bowel Probiotic quickly restores ideal
intestinal flora for healthy digestion and elimination.
• Inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and viruses
that can cause diarrhea
The digestive tract begins in the mouth, where probiotics
begin helping the body protect itself from disease-causing
bacteria. Unhealthy organisms in the mouth can cause
thrush, gum conditions, tooth decay, inflamed mouth tissue,
and bad breath. In order for probiotics to implant and be
effective, they must come into direct contact with the
mouth, teeth, gums and throat. The Super 5 Lozenge is a
delicious way to introduce probiotics – in particular,
L. salivarius, which is not commonly found in supplements –
precisely where they are needed. Dissolving a lozenge in
the mouth after a meal lets the warmth and moisture in the
mouth go to work and help these good bacteria multiply
and proliferate. Super 5 Lozenge is specifically designed for
localized support and proper bacterial balance, facilitating
overall oral health.
• Remedies chronic constipation
• Fights the bacteria that cause bad breath
• Helps to relieve and prevent intestinal inflammation
• Provides healthy bacteria that enhance an oral regimen
