Frenquently asked questions

 Do your products contain some gluten?

Our products do not contain gluten, except for Fortilevure Beauté, Fortilevure Puissance 8 and Lyophilevure. Indeed these three products are essentially constituted by proteins (50 %) stemming from yeasts. Among these proteins, there are tracks of insoluble proteins (Gluten < 0.5 %), the intolerant of which in the gluten have to avoid the consumption.

 What products may I use within the framework of a slimming diet?

You can use following both products:

- Nopasvelt: this product consists of vegetable fibres (cellulose, pectines, erase and mucilages) stemming from Nopal, plant of Mexico belonging to the family of the cactus. These fibres have several roles: certain insoluble fibres form in the contact of the water a sticky gel, acting as a trap with nutriments. Indeed, nutriments (carbohydrates and lipids) are going to be imprisoned by fibres, what will prevent their absorption at the level of the intestinal barrier and of this fact will reduce the number of absorbed calories.

- Sveltonic: this product also consists of fibres but contains also 5 lactic ferments, contributing to the purification of the bottom of the bowel: the Colonist. Ferments are going to favour the flat stomach effect by removing constipation and distending of stomach.

 Can one use your products when one is a diabetic?

Absolutely. Our products do not cure the diabetes but can contribute to the decrease of the glycaemia in case of diabetes not insulin dependant. Indeed fibres contained in Nopasvelt are going to allow reducing the absorption of sugars and thus glucose what will have an incidence on the rate of glucose in the blood. As regards Bioprotus 7000 and 4000, there is no known contraindication, to this day. Indeed fructo-oligosaccharides with short chains (FOS), present in these two products are not absorbable by the body and thus do not intervene in the variation of the glycaemia.

Fortilevure Beauté, Fortilevure Puissance 8 and Lyophylevure contain only complex Carbohydrates that is some starch (that we find mainly in starchy foods: rice, pastas, dried vegetables): it is a big molecule formed by very numerous residues glucose. So that the starch is absorbed, it is necessary whether it is digested by the enzymes of the digestive tract. Now this digestion is long, the molecules of glucose being released only one by one and from this fact absorbed by the body that in small quantity. Of this fact we shall not observe a peak of glycaemia.

 Is there some lactose in lactic ferments?

No, there is no track of lactose in lactic ferments. It is completely recommended to the intolerant persons in the cow's milk to consume it regularly to strengthen their intestinal flora. Furthermore, ferments help to digest the lactose what can be useful in the case of a little intolerance.

Glossary / Lexicon

 Neuromediator

... or chemical mediator, or neurotransmitter. Chemical substance released by nerve cells during an excitement and passing on impulse in the nearby cells by synapses. Ex: acetylcholine, adrenalin, histamine, serotonin, etc.

 Adrenalin

Hormone secreted by the suprarenal glands: it is one of the numerous neurotransmitters present in the brain. One of the effects of the adrenalin consists of a dump of nervous energy during a stress, which we often call "reaction of flight or fight".

 Vitamins B

B1 or thiamine: anti-stress, anti-depression, helps in case of behavioural problems or variations of mood,
B2 or riboflavin: beauty of the skin, the hair and the nails,
B3 or PP or niacin: prevention of the migraines and the losses of memory,
B5 or pantothenic acid: commands every cell of the human body, allows assimilating food, epithelial regenerator, stimulation of the growth of hair and nails,
B6 or pyridoxine: prevention of the losses of memory, insomnias, migraines and nervous breakdown,
B8 or biotin: beauty of the skin, the hair and the nails, the metabolism of fats and regulation of the glycaemia in the blood,
B9 or folic acid: nervous balance, improvement of the sleep,
B12 or cobalamin: participation in the assimilation of the iron, the regeneration of red corpuscles.

 Yeast

It is the unicellular micro-organism which develops by fermentation in environment airless that is in an environment devoid of oxygen. The most common yeast is the brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae). It is indispensable to the reaction of panification during the manufacturing of the bread.

 Vegetable proteins

The two sources of dietary proteins are vegetable and animal proteins. Vegetable proteins arise from starchy foods, from fruits and from vegetables. They differ by their composition in essential Amino acids and their digestibility.

 Enzyme

Molecule of protein nature which intervenes in the entire metabolism. Enzymes govern all the syntheses and the destructions in the body; they allow the digestion of all the food which we consume. An Enzyme is specific in a substratum. Therefore, having no specific enzyme in fibres, we cannot digest them. Being constituted by proteins, enzymes are sensitive to the temperature, to the pH. So their actions in the body are going to be inhibited or activated according to the various parameters quoted previously.

 Probiotic

A probiotic is a body living favourable to the life which arrives intact in the digestive tract and which acts in a beneficial way by improving the balance of the intestinal flora. It is necessary that it arrives alive and in number in the small intestine, thus that it resists to the attacks of gastric juices. The seven ferments contained in BIOPROTUS 7000 are particularly resistant in the gastric sourness.

 Prebiotic

A prebiotic is a dietary component, similar to fibres, not digested in the stomach, which stimulates the growth of the good bacteria living in intestines.
