WHAT CULTURES ARE THEY?
All EASIYO Yogurts contain Lactic Bulgaricus, S.Thermophilus and Lactic Acidophilus (great for the intestine). The combination gives EASIYO it’s wonderful taste and texture. In EASIYO Bio-Life Yogurt there are additional probiotic cultures, B. bifidus and L. casei (also good for the intestine and immune system function).
HOW DO THE CULTURES STAY VIABLE IN THE SACHETS?
The cultures are freeze dried which means all the moisture is extracted and the cultures can hibernate for up to two years without losing their viability. The process is fairly complicated but there is some really clever equipment these days that freeze dries without decreasing the active nature of the cultures.

HOW DOES FREEEZE DRYING KEEP THE CULTURES VIABLE?
Freeze drying is not easy to understand using scientific terms, let alone layman's terms. Something like a seed lying on the ground waiting until the right conditions prevail. The laboratories are able to isolate extremely concentrated forms of the lactic bacteria and freeze dry them, so that they activate when in the presence of water and the correct temperature. The EASIYO Yogurt Maker provides this correct temperature!

WHAT ARE THE CULTURES IN THE EASIYO DRINKING YOGURT?
The probiotic cultures, FloraFit Boost, in our drinking yogurt are specifically designed to aid immune system dysfunction. Certain probiotics assist, if you can get them into your system in sufficient amounts. And this is the KEY! The immune system is an excellent barometer to indicate our well being. Stimulating a deficient immune system can help prevent illnesses and ward off infections. FloraFit Boost is specially formulated to boost the body’s immune system.

WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL CULTURES IN BIOLIFE?
L. acidophilus, B. bifidus and L. casei. (abc probiotic cultures).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIOLIFE AND THE OTHER EASIYO SACHETS?

The new combination of special cultures in the Bio-Life sachets have been carefully developed to replenish and maintain any depleted abc cultures that should inhabit the intestine. These naturally occurring cultures become depleted in your digestive system due to conditions such as stress, illness, after antibiotics, aging or poor diet etc. All EASIYO Yogurt is good for you because it assists with food absorption, is easily digested, and is full of protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals, but everyone can take EASIYO Bio-Life for maintenance, continually, or from time to time.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LACTIC CULTURES?
The cultures in our yogurt are the real thing! And there are billions in every spoonful. Being the freshest yogurt you can get, EASIYO has more of the beneficial LIVE cultures than any other yogurt.
What do these cultures do? Well apart from the bulgaricus (which helps the fermentation process) they are all probiotic (for life). This means they have the ability to survive the stomach juices and do their beneficial deeds in the stomach and intestine.
They have many functions: they create lactic acid which bad bugs can’t survive in; they line the gut walls and stop pathogens getting through into the body, they speed up the removal of waste; they repopulate the gut after illness or some antibiotics, they aid in the uptake of nutrients, to name just a few.
All the EASIYO cultures are human compatible in that they do the function they are designed for in the human gut. There is little point in having a culture that works only for say, cows. It would pass straight through.
We have tested our cultures thoroughly for functionality, one of the tests was using filthy water. When testing the finished made-up EASIYO yogurt, it was found to be 100% suitable for human consumption, a good reason for consuming EASIYO with its beneficial cultures, which can help with undesirable microbes and speed their passage out of the body.

HOW LONG DO THE CULTURES LIVE FOR IN THE SACHET?
The cultures we use are freeze dried : a little like a seed that, for a certain period of time, is able to remain in a stable form before it is reactivated. In this dormant state ie without moisture or warmth, our cultures are good for well over the 18 month ‘best before’ date shown on the sachet. The process we use is designed to maintain the largest number of viable bacteria cultures that can be produced. It is also the method of keeping the most cultures viable for longer!

HOW DO YOU GET THE MOST LIVE CULTURES IN YOUR YOGURT?
The very fact that you make your yogurt fresh with EASIYO guarantees the MOST live cultures you can get (this includes acidophilus). Store bought yogurt may not even have many live cultures left in it once it is finally consumed. This is because cultures have a limited lifetime. So you need to eat your yogurt freshly-made. By law, yogurt must contain millions of live cultures per spoonful (at the time of manufacture). A spoonful of EASIYO yogurt contains billions.
The important thing with yogurt is to eat it fresh!

HOW LONG DO THE CULTURES LIVE IN THE JAR OF MADE-UP YOGURT?
Once activated (when you use the sachet to make up the yogurt), it is the freshest yogurt you can get because you have just made it!
1 gram of freshly-made EASIYO Yogurt after 6 hours in the making process contains around 1 billion live cultures (Agriquality job no. 383923)
EASIYO did extensive research on their cultures to make sure they survive in plentiful numbers for the duration of their made up shelf life ie the two weeks indicated on the instructions. That includes all the probiotic cultures put in the sachets as well. “All our tests on our yogurts indicate there are millions of live cultures still present in every spoonful after these two weeks!” This is more than can be said about many store bought yogurts at the end of their shelf life!
As these cultures are living organisms, the numbers do fluctuate depending on such things as outside temperatures, water temperature etc, but you are always guaranteed “real” yogurt. Ie. EASIYO Yogurt always contains cultures in sufficient numbers for the consumer to reap the benefits that only live cultures deliver.
When yogurt is freshly made, you have the most “live” cultures in the first few days, after which the numbers rather quickly tail off.
With EASIYO yogurt, the ‘billions of live cultures in every spoonful’, that are available when you have first made the yogurt, reduce in numbers, but you still have very viable yogurt up until it’s stated best before day ie two weeks! This is because you started with so very many cultures in the first place. The very fact that you are making your yogurt fresh with EASIYO means you are guaranteed the most live cultures you can get (this includes acidophilus).
