What are live fermentation cultures?

For live bacterial strains, organic sprouted soybeans are fermented using traditional kefir and kombucha cultures. This process takes approximately one month and results in a complex food matrix containing various naturally occurring microorganisms, enzymes, and plant compounds. During fermentation, the following are formed, among others:

Naturally evolved microbes

Enzymes

Organic acids

Peptides

Activated polyphenols

Pre-digested nutrients

Amino acids

After completion of the fermentation process, the product is carefully freeze-dried to preserve its composition. It is then analyzed for nutritional and microbial values.

Symbiotic fermentation according to Living Nutrition

Living Nutrition refers to this approach as “Symbiotica”: a reference to the natural cooperation between different microorganisms within a fermentation culture. In this process, microorganisms develop collectively within a plant-based food matrix. The ‘Your Flora’ line is based on fermented, organic sprouted soybeans and contains a broad spectrum of microorganisms formed during the fermentation process. The products are manufactured exclusively with organic ingredients and according to traditional methods.

Fermentation instead of isolated bacterial strains

While some supplements work with isolated bacterial strains, Living Nutrition chooses a fully fermented food base in which microorganisms develop within their natural matrix. This approach focuses on the use of traditionally fermented plant-based ingredients as a foundation.
