Can I use Probiotics when pregnant?
Yes, all the Udo's Choice probiotics are safe to use when pregnant
How do you store Udo's Choice Probiotics?
All Udo's Choice Probiotics should be stored in the fridge. If you would like to prolong shelf life further, they can also be stored frozen.
Are the probiotics dairy free?
During the manufacturing process milk powder and whey powder are used in the growth medium. This is throughly cleaned so that the vast majority of residue is removed. If you suffer from an intolerance to milk, this will not be a problem, as the bacteria in the probiotic will use any minor residue as food. However, if you suffer from anaphylaxis, we recommend that you do not use the range in case a reaction occurs.
Are the probiotics Soya free?
Soya Lecithin is also used during the manufacturing process and as such the same precautions should be observed as those with dairy allergies.
I have been told that probiotics can help with Candida, what would you recommend?
Udo's Choice Super 8's are a very hi-potency probiotic that are suitable for helping with cases of immune distress such as Candida.
Can I use Beyond Greens when pregnant?
Yes. As a concentrated source of many minor nutrients, as well as essential fatty acids and fibre, it's a great way to ensure a complete daily diet.
Why does it recommend I drink plenty of water when using Beyond Greens?
As a high fibre product it is important to make sure that you have good water intake, as this will encourage good stool formation. If you have a lot of fibre but do not have a lot of water, it can have a drying effect on the stool, and irregularity can occur.
What does Beyond Greens taste like?
Beyond Greens has quite a sweet natural flavour, brought about by the grass concentrates and almond extract.
There are lumps in my Beyond Greens, is this normal?
Yes. The seed cake used is intended to provide roughage, so is not ground to a fine powder. Occasionally you will spot almost whole seeds, this is completely normal, as they themselves will swell in the intestines to provide a scrubbing, cleansing action.
Can I have too much Beyond Greens in a day?
No. Beyond Greens is a nutritious food, and you can enjoy as much or as little as you like daily.
Can I use Enzymes when pregnant?
Yes. As a mother nourishing a foetus, maximum utilisation of the food you eat is important to ensure a healthy baby. Udo's Choice Ultimate Digestive Enzyme Blend can help you process the additional food that you will be eating.
Can I cook food with the enzymes added?
No. Excessive heat destroys the enzymes, and renders them useless. You can add enzymes to already cooked food by breaking the capsules open and sprinkling the contents over the food. Enzymes have no taste, so this won't affect the flavour.
Are your enzymes suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Our enzyme blend is made from plant based enzyems, so is suitable for a vegetarian diet. Many brands choose to use animal based enzymes, which would not be suitable for you to use.
Why do you have so many different enzymes in the blend?
Nature has provided many different ways to get the most from the digestion of food molecules. By having a wide range of enzymes present, we can ensure optimal activity in several stages around your intestinal tract. This in turn allows for more complete digestion of the food you eat.
Do I need to refrigerate the enzymes?
No. Enzymes are stable at normal room temperature, and will last until the use by date on the packaging.
