Probiotics & Prebiotics - the very vital friendly bacteria

Good health from the inside out - nourishing the body's engine

Around 70% of an animal's & 80% of a human's immune system depends on a healthy gut.

We believe 'whole health' is frequently driven from the insides out. But many of today's 'accepted' feeds, management & lifestyles are impacting very negatively on the 'overall well-being' & immune system of the living creature... be they 2 or 4-legged. 

For optimum health be it humans living full-on lifestyles or animals on cereal/rice diets, or for all living creatures after antibiotics, chemical applications, stress (travel or home related), illness and after worming, etc, probiotics can play a very vital role. 

For instance they can help calm an over-active immune response for itching and allergies or help re-boot the immune system when struggling with seasonal issues such as muddy/wet environments. All health challenges can negatively affect the natural balance of gut microflora which in turn can play havoc with the immune system.
 
We have used probiotics for animals & human since 1995 (when we were laughed at!) and seen lives literally turned around in some very extreme cases. Probiotics are easily fed (they're a feed supplement not a drug) as an emergency 'leg up' towards good health, for a short time to rebalance the 'good/bad bacteria' and/or trickle fed to ensure the friendly bacteria are not unnecessarily threatened by the 'bad guys'. We used to think that trickle feeding was just someone's 'marketing' to lock you in! However, because prevention is far better (and cheaper!) than cure, the trickle helps keeps the friendly bacteria in pristine health, ready to launch the full power of the immune system whenever it's needed... rather than limply reacting because it's fighting off the 'bad bacteria' and doesn't really have time to 'help the body'..... But now they've become 'the in thing', how do you know if the quality is high and pure, or diluted and just part of someone's 'fashionable advertising'?  
 
We've a reputation for only speaking out about things when we're sure there's good reason to be concerned.  It's part of our approach to 'whole health' and not just 'locking you into topical' applications.... even if ours are pretty remarkable thanks to a brilliant Mother Nature! 

If you nourish the body's 'engine', reduced topical applications are often the reward - the body knows how to run its complex self much better than us trying 'this & that' in a scattergun approach. If we can help reduce long-term suffering and reduce your long-term bills via a bit of 'lateral thinking', then that fits the Ruggles & Stopitall Ltd ethos for 'whole health'!
