Phytosynbiotics are a new class of food-grade dietary supplements which have shown promise to promote metabolic health and help our bodies cope with the rigorous demands of modern day living.
PhytosynbioticsTM are the result of 20 years of research and are manufactured with the strictest standards in a HSA GMP-certified facility. The development of phytosynbioticsTM technology has been supported by Spring Singapore, the government agency promoting technology innovation in small and medium size enterprises.
Phytosynbiotics are formulations of plants with known healing properties which have undergone lactic acid fermentation, with production of natural occurring manno-oligosaccharide prebiotics as by products.
Phytosynbiotics = Plants + Synbiotics
Synbiotics = Prebiotics + Probiotics
Lactic acid fermentation significantly increases the efficacy of the healing properties of the plants by making their nutrients and compounds more readily available and more easily absorbed by the body. The fermentation process allows small quantities of the plants to be used, thus significantly reducing the risks of toxic effects resulting from over dosage and use.
Living Logic
Price: $60.00
Living Logic is an orally administered health supplement, ideal for the relief of general tiredness. Using the latest phytosynbiotic technology, it is produced by fermenting plants (almond, ginkgo and ginseng) known for providing relief from tiredness, with prebiotics and probiotic Lactobacilli. The resulting product is a unique combination of natural ingredients with significant health benefits.
Prebiotics and probiotics are important for the maintenance of gut health. Prebiotics also protect the probiotics, allowing them to survive the acidity of the stomach and the bile salts of the small intestine.
Almond, ginkgo and ginseng are known for enhancing mental performance and providing relief from tiredness.
Ingredients:
- Probiotics: Lactobacillus brevis, L. buchneri, L. bulgaricus, L. delbrueckii, L.plantarum
- Prebiotics: oligosaccharides
- Almond, ginkgo and ginseng
Directions:
- 1 capsule every morning, preferably with meal
Precautions:
- Do not take more than recommended dosage.

How Do Phytosynbiotics Work ?
In every human being, and especially in the gut, dwells the microbiome: 100 trillion bacteria of several thousand species. This is 10 times more than the number of cells in the human body. This microbiome maintains health and performs beneficial functions such as food digestion, making vitamins and keeping bad organisms at bay.
Disrupted microbiomes have been associated with problems such as obesity and malnutrition, diabetes, atherosclerosis and heart disease, multiple sclerosis, asthma and eczema, liver disease, numerous diseases of the intestines including bowel cancer and autism.
The active ingredients of the phytosynbiotics help to stablise the upset microbiomes. If the upset microbiome causes illness, stablising it might resolve it.
Phytosynbiotics are more than probiotics or prebiotics or plant extracts. They are produced when selected plants with healing properities are fermented in a tightly controlled process with specific Lactobacillus probiotics. For example, a phytosynbiotics formulation for glucose management can be produced by co-fermenting lactic acid bacteria with bitter gourd and horse radish tree, plants which are known for their ability to control blood glucose in the body. In Chapter 3, results from a clinical study show that this particular orally administered phytosynbiotics formulation is as effective as subcutaneously-administered insulin in lowering blood glucose level to an ideal non-diabetic state in people with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. The phytosynbiotics thus has shown glucose management capabilities beyond the characteristics of the original raw plants.
During the fermentation process, prebiotic manno-oligosaccharides are produced as a by product. In additional to the beneficial effects on gut health, the prebiotics also play an important role in protecting the probiotics and plant nutrients from acidic digestive juices as they make their way through the digestive system. They arrive intact and are released in the small intestine, the environment where they are designed to work.
The controlled fermentation brings about beneficial results through a series of biochemical transformations:
- Unlocking of nutrients and vitamins from raw plants, eg hydrolisation of starch into shorter chains of glucose and dextrose, increasing levels of vitamins particularly thiamine, nicotinic acid, biotin and riboflavin;
- Production of enzymes that aid in increasing the bio-availability of the nutrients so that our bodies can absorb and assimilate them more easily;
- Reduction of naturally occurring toxins in the plants thus rendering them safe for consumption;
- Presence of probiotics and prebiotics to support a healthy gut microbiome and maintain proper digestion function. When digestion is functioning properly and the body is absorbing and assimilating all the nutrients needed, the immune system tends to be better equipped to wage war against disease and illness.
