Natren LIFE START 2 goat milk-based probiotic powder can help relieve occasional diarrhea, constipation, bloating, cramps, excessive gas and abdominal discomfort.*

Babies born vaginally to healthy mothers receive their initial supply of beneficial bacteria on their passage through the birth canal. It is important for infants to continue getting beneficial bacteria to help them develop healthy bodies.

However, adults who did not receive this beneficial bacteria at birth, or who have had it wiped out through antibiotics, steroids, etc. often find they can tolerate this species of bacteria (B. infantis) better than the others.

This bacteria encourages the formation of antibodies against undesirable bacteria and viruses.
Pregnant women and nursing mothers should also take Life Start® along with their regular regimen of Healthy Trinity® in order to give their baby the best start possible.
Mothers on a course of antibiotics who are also breast-feeding their babies should give their babies Life Start® when beginning their antibiotic course.

Nutritional Actions:
Produces the lactase enzyme which digests milk sugar and may help to offset lactose intolerance.
Produces natural lactic, acetic and formic acid which help to keep the intestinal tract slightly acidic and inhibit the growth of undesirable yeast and bacteria.
May encourage faster weight gain via nitrogen retention.
Assists in the absorption of calcium and other nutrients.

100% potency guaranteed through the printed expiration date.

About our formulas:

Both Megadophilus ® and Bifido Factor ® are available in capsules as well as powders. Natren ® uses hard veggie capsules and protects the flora by using natural moisture barriers that keep them from absorbing water from the walls of the capsules. A modified-release system developed specifically for Natren ® breaks the capsules apart over a five- to seven-hour period. The capsules start breaking up in the stomach, and continue the process in the small and large intestines until all the bacteria have been released into the body.

Proper Digestion – A Key To Health
The Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-51 super strain in Digesta-Lac® actually travels along with the food as it’s being processed, to naturally aid digestion while deterring harmful bacteria.
It maximizes the body’s ability to complete the digestion process and may discourage the use of intestinal stimulants and antacids.
This beneficial bacteria may help maintain our natural electrolyte balance, particularly as we age and become less active.
Digesta-Lac® is cultured with super strain LB-51, which, according to 30 years of Bulgarian research, is one of the most beneficial strains of the 450 known bulgaricus strains.

Nutritional Actions:
Nutritionally helps to deter yeast overgrowth (candida) from the large intestine up into the small intestine.
Helps to stimulate regularity.
Aids in lactose metabolism and enhances the digestion of milk products.
Encourages an acidic intestinal environment which strongly inhibits less desirable microorganisms.
Contributes to the growth and viability of the beneficial resident microorganisms (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium. bifidum, etc.) by supporting their growth and activity.
Helps the body digest complex carbohydrates and proteins. Bulgaricus is very proteolytic, therefore it can easily break down proteins.
Helps to increase the bio-availability of minerals, especially calcium. The absorption is doubly important in lactose-intolerant individuals who may also experience a deficiency of dietary calcium.
May also produce antimicrobial substances antagonistic to various bad bacteria.

Yogurt has long been known for its beneficial properties, with the real, traditional Bulgarian yogurt being famous for its light, tangy taste and smooth, creamy texture. Natren® makes it possible for you to make your own real, Bulgarian-style yogurt with our Yogurt Starter®. This wonderful product is a combination of Strepococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, LB-51 super strain.

Traditionally, Lactobacillus bulgaricus is found in Bulgarian yogurt. Some of the healthiest, longest living and energetic people eat Bulgarian yogurt as part of their daily regimen. The Bulgarians use starter cultures and make their own yogurt. With the commercial processing techniques of many yogurts, the beneficial bacteria have often completed their life cycles and are no longer useful by the time they are ingested. Homemade yogurt using a starter culture like the Bulgarians do is the best way to get the most advantageous benefits from yogurt.

Strepococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are non-competitive and have a mutually beneficial relationship. In all of nature, these are among the few bacteria that live and work together peacefully. Most others are antagonistic to one another. In the process that turns milk into yogurt, Strepococcus thermophilus goes to work first and prepares the perfect environment for Lactobacillus bulgaricus. These two beneficial transient bacteria work together to cause the fermentation process that turns milk into the smoothest, freshest, most delicious yogurt you’ve ever enjoyed. Instructions for preparing homemade yogurt are included with each bottle. One of the vital functions performed by these two beneficial bacteria is the breakdown (pre-digesting) of milk proteins, making yogurt a good source of pre-digested protein and bioavailable calcium. Good yogurt has been used for many generations for convalescing people in Russia, Eastern Europe and parts of Western Europe, and is considered to be the original "longevity" food.

PREPARING GOURMET YOGURT

Ingredients and Equipment
5 level teaspoons (10 gm) Natren Yogurt Starter
2 quarts (2 liters) fresh whole milk
Thermometer
Timer
Clean, large heat-proof bowl (i.e. Pyrex or glazed ceramic)
Spoon
Large pot or doubleboiler for Step # 1
Yogurt maker or heat proof bowl for Step # 3

1: Pre-culture Treatment
Heat milk to 180°F (82°C) in double boiler or water bath. (A water bath is simply a heat-proof bowl, pitcher or jar placed directly in a large pan of water.) The pan can be left on the stove and maintained at a temperature of 180°F (82°C) for 20-40 minutes, to complete the pre-culture treatment. Cool milk quickly to the incubation temperature of 110°F- 112°F or 42°C- 44°C. A pan with ice cubes may be used to cool the milk, this will take about 10 minutes. Do not put anything directly into the milk.

2: Inoculation
Place starter culture 5 tsp. (10 gm) in a clean bowl and pour 2 Tbsp. (30 ml) of cooled milk over starter to form a smooth paste. Continue to pour milk into paste, a small amount at a time, stirring slowly until all pretreated milk is thoroughly blended with culture. Good results depend on proper temperature control, and slow blending of culture starter and milk.
DO NOT ALLOW MILK OR FINAL MIXTURE TO COOL BELOW 110°F-112°F (42°C- 44°C).

3: Incubation/Culturing
Retain temperature at 110°F-112°F (42°C- 44°C) in yogurt maker or water bath. For a water bath, place a heat–proof bowl, pitcher or jar directly into a large pan of water that is at the incubation temperature. This will take about 4-5 hours. Do not move, shake or disturb yogurt while it is incubating. Yogurt is ready when it has a custard-like appearance or separates from edge of the container. Longer incubation time may be needed, so check yogurt mixture every 15 minutes.

4: Refrigeration & Storage
Again, Do Not Disturb yogurt after incubation as it will liquefy. Refrigerate undisturbed for several hours (until thoroughly chilled) before eating. Finished yogurt may be refrigerated for at least 10 days.

* The pan of water can be left on the stove to maintain this incubation temperature or busying any heat source which maintains the temperature at 110°F-112°F (42°C- 44°C), i.e. oven, stove pilot light, or “warming hot tray,” etc. Cold utensils will adversely affect results. Keeping utensils at room temperature is recommended.

YOGURT CHEESE

Without a doubt, there is no better soft cheese on the market than that which you can make at home using your own yogurt made with Natren’s Yogurt Starter. To make yogurt cheese, simply line a colander or strainer of your choice (a stainless steel steamer set into a deep glass bowl works well) with a good quality cotton cheesecloth. Rinse the cheesecloth in hot water first, and wring dry. Make sure the cheesecloth is large enough to not only line the strainer, but that it also has a good 8” to 10” overlap. Pour the yogurt into the lined strainer and draw the overlap over, twisting it into a loose knot on top of the yogurt. Whey, the liquid part of the yogurt, will immediately start to drain down through the strainer into the bowl leaving the cheese and the milk solids in the lined strainer. It will be necessary to empty the whey from the bowl as it fills the bowl to ensure that the cheese is not sitting in its own whey. To hasten the draining procedure, one may pick up the cheesecloth bag and gently wring it, or put some weight on top. When the cheese is of the right consistency to please you (the longer it drains, the dryer it becomes) transfer it to a container of your choice, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

PIMENTO CHEESE

3 large red pimento peppers, roasted*
1 cup yogurt cheese
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh shallots
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh parsley
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar
7 drops of Tabasco Sauce

With the blade of a food processor running, drop the shallots, parsley and pimentos into the bowl and process until well chopped. Add the salt, sugar and lemon juice and process further. Add the yogurt cheese and Tabasco and blend until the mixture is very smooth. Transfer the cheese to a bowl and chill, covered, in a refrigerator for several hours, preferably over night, before serving. Serve the cheese as a spread or dip with any of the following: blue corn bread, crackers or chips.

*TO ROAST PIMENTOS:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash, dry, cut into halves and seed pimentos. Put cut-side down on a broiler pan and place under a preheated broiler about 6 inches from the heat. Watch carefully and turn them every five minutes, if necessary, to allow even baking. Broil until they are evenly blistered, 15-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle but still hot. Starting at the blossom end, peel the pimentos and discard the skins.

FROZEN STRAWBERRY YOGURT

4 cups plain yogurt
2 cups (heaping) fresh strawberries
½ to ¾ cup honey

Blend strawberries and honey until smooth. Fold in yogurt and mix until well blended. Pour into a mold, cover tightly and freeze until firm or freeze in an ice cream maker. The churning action of the freezer will give it a much smoother and creamier texture. Serve topped with fresh strawberries, if desired.

VELVETY LIME SAUCE

1 cup soft yogurt cheese
Juice & finely grated zest of one large lime
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon-style prepared mustard Blend all ingredients together until velvety smooth, adding more limejuice or cream cheese, if needed, to obtain the right consistency. Pour into a clean glass jar, cover tightly and refrigerate for several hours, preferably overnight, for flavors to develop. This zesty sauce truly brings life to foods. Serve as a dip for raw vegetables, dollop it on salads or use it as an accompaniment for cold chicken, turkey or fish.

YOGURT CREAM-CAVIAR ENDIVE

24 Belgian endive leaves
¾ cup yogurt cream
1oz. Caviar, chilled

Wash and thoroughly pat dry endive leaves. Place a dollop of yogurt cream at the base of each endive leaf. Top with about ½ teaspoon caviar. Arrange prettily on a plate and serve.

Served alone or with a crisp varietal champagne like Korbel Blanc de Blancs, this make a most elegant, yet simple and easy to prepare, appetizer.

******

YOGURT-CHEESE MAYONNAISE

1 cup yogurt cheese
*5-6 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower or flaxseed oil
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until very smooth and creamy. Pour into a clean jar with a tight lid. Refrigerate and use as needed.

• Flaxseed oil, if available, is best because it is the richest source of the Omega-3 essential fatty acids that play such a vital role in maintaining good health.
