VITAGEN- my favourite drink!

Posted by Nyo Chu Ying at 23:31:00

As everyone know, vitagen is good to our digestive system. Has anyone wonder how good it is? We shall find it.




First, we look for the ingredient in vitagen.
- Dietary fiber (Inuin & polydextrose)
- Fructose
- Milk Solids
- Surcrose
- Glucose
- Permitted Stabilizers
- Permitted Flavouring

- Permitted Colouring
- Lactobacillus culture (probiotics)


Basically it is like most cultured milk products. They difference would be just the amount of sugar, other flavourings and the type of bacteria used. I would highly recommend everyone to drink a bottle of Vitagen per day. It does contains probiotics that helps to maintain a healthy gut flora. A healthy gut flora in turn makes our digestive system work better and also suppresses the growth of bad bacteria. Besides, it is also convenient. Just grab a bottle from your fridge and drink up on the way to work.

The Healthier Probiotics Drink. I do really like it. I prefer the LB flavour. Not so sweet like others cultured milk products. and doesn’t leave any stickiness in your mouth.
Glucose
Introduction To Glucose
- Chemical Formula - C6H12O6
- An Important Carbohydrate in Biology
- Living Cells use it as a source of Energy
- Has a lower tendency, as compared to other hexose sugars, to non-specifically react with the amino groups of proteins
- Glucose is a primary source of energy for the brain

Sucrose
Introduction To Sucrose
- Chemical Formula - C12H22O11
- Pure sucrose is most often prepared as a fine, white, odorless, crystalline powder with a pleasing, sweet taste
- Sucrose is the most common food sweetener.

Fructose
Introduction To Fructose
- Chemical Formula - C6H12O6
- Found in Many Food along with Glucose & Galactose.
- Normally in combination with Glucose to form sucrose
- Derived from the digestion of granulated table sugar (sucrose)

Probiotic Cultures

Each bottle of vitagen has billions of live probiotic cultures. Probiotic cultures that used can withstand stomach's gastric juice, bile and reach the intestines active to fight harmful bacteria.

Benefits:
- Help in digestive system.
- Increase the number of good bacteria (probiotic cultures) in the intestines.
- Suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria, thus, improve the environment of the intestines
- Help to maintain a healthy digestive system
.


Prebiotic Fibre (Dietary Fibre)

Prebiotic fibre helps support growth of good bacteria and thus will maintain a better intestinal environment. Each bottle of vitagen has 7.5g of dietary fibre and makes up almost 28% of the recommended daily dietary fibre intake. (The recommended dietary fibre intake is 21g to 26g.)

Benefits:
- Aid digestion.
- Act as food for probiotic cultures.
- Help support growth of good bacteria in the intestines.



Besides, we also have vitagen collagen nowadays.


What is Collagen?

Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in animals and it making up about 40% of the total mass. Collagen is the main component of skin, cartilage, ligaments and tendons, and the main protein component of bone and teeth due to its tough and inextensible (with great tensile strength) property. Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity. Futhermore, its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. Collagen accounts for 70% of the skin dermis, and it supports the skin being supple and taut. The lack of collagen will affect the epidermis and the keratin layer will crumble and droop. This results in sagging skin or wrinkles.



Collagen has been clinically proven to help maintain healthy human body joint function, supporting athletic activities and everyday movement. Usually, athletes and bodybuilders place a great deal of strain on ligaments and joints, and hence leading to injury. Besudes, as people age, the connective tissues wear out and are prone to damage. Fortunately, collagen supplements can help with re-synthesizing and preserving collagen and counteract some of the wear and tear of the joints.


Just remember that drink one bottle per day to help maintain a healthy digestive system!
