Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Any thoughts on why this should be called a " Human Strain " probiotic. is it all a marketing ploy by Con Agra who sells a patented one? Anybody have other sources of a good rhamnosis? Or any thoughts on rhamnosis at all. TIA Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I found a nice article on Rhamanosus 271. It was isolated from healthy human mucosa, which would probably explain why it is called a " Human Strain " . It is a Word Document (http://www.probi.com/GetFile.asp?id=89) Unfortunately, other than the yogurt drink mentioned in the above article (Fundo), I am quite clueless as to where to get Rhamanosus (for fermenting purposes). If you find some, would you let me know? Thanks! -Lana On 1/6/06, Ellen Ussery <ellenjill@...> wrote: > Any thoughts on why this should be called a " Human Strain " probiotic. > is it all a marketing ploy by Con Agra who sells a patented one? > Anybody have other sources of a good rhamnosis?

Or any thoughts on >rhamnosis at all. Rhamnosus seems legit. You can buy it individually as a bulk powder from Custom Probiotics. http://www.customprobiotics.com/ I should add that while I've always had good experiences with that company, the owner can be a bit of a PITA, and some people have had trouble with him. I don't mean to suggest that he's a fraud or anything -- he's completely legit. He can just be... persnickety. But I don't know of a better place to get bulk probiotics. I wouldn't advise using his CP1 blend, though, and his yoghurt starter made godawful yoghurt when I tried it. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 ( Idol) This is an old message so I'm including the original below. I searched on " customprobiotics.com " in the archive and seems to be a fan. Wondering how that's going, because I'm in the market for a probiotic for my husband and occaisionally my self and kids. I know next to nothing in the larger scheme of things. I do the best I can for many years now at learning about nutrition but some of the people on this board are far more knowledgeable (or seem). SO, thoughts on purchasing a probiotic that's good for someone who's not eating any lacto-fermented foods? How bout economical? Should I make my own capsules? Can we stir yogurt culture into cold food, and is that less expensive than capsules? And, I think relatedly, what is FOS? How often do you have to eat yogurt or other lacto-fermented foods in order to not need a probiotic supplement? > > Ellen- > > >Any thoughts on why this should be called a " Human Strain " probiotic. > >is it all a marketing ploy by Con Agra who sells a patented one? > >Anybody have other sources of a good rhamnosis?
