Science
- Supernatant contains selected inactive cell populations of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacteria, as well as metabolic substances such as lactic acids, amino acids, folates, bacteriocines, bio-surfactants, enzymes (BSH-bile salts hydrolyze, lactase) and immune-stimulating substances. Recent research has shown that the inactive whole bacterial cells and metabolites in Supernatant are extremely effective in maintaining many aspects of human health.
- The Inactive cells of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Bifidobacteria strains: Act as antigens in the human gastrointestinal tract and providing formation of specific healthy cell-mediated immune responses.
- The Metabolic substances:
- Promote maintenance of healthy blood pressure through inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE).
- The primary function of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
- Angiotensin I by itself is inactive, but when converted by ACE to the active form, angiotensin II, it causes narrowing of the small blood vessels in tissues, resulting in an increase in blood pressure (hypertension).
- High activity or concentration of ACE in the bloodstream generates more angiotensin II, which makes it a marker for cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
- Angiotensin II also stimulates aldosterone, a hormone that causes hypertension.
- Supernatant inhibits ACE activity.
