ALTAFLORA – NEW GENERATION SACHETS AGAINST

DIARRHOEA

When one has an attack of diarrhoea one looks for the diarrhoea sachets
containing the electrolytes sodium,potassium and magnesium. These diarrhoea
sachets have been taken by your parents and your great grand parents,
generation after generation with the purpose of replacing the electrolytes that
have been lost. Studies today show that not only are the electrolyte salts lost
during diarrhoea but also the good bacteria that live in the intestine, better known
as the flora. So sachets containing just electrolyte salts are not enough and it is a
must to take sachets containing both flora and electrolytes. Sachets containing
just electrolytes are old generation whereas the new generation sachets are the
sachets containing both electrolytes and the good bacteria (flora)

Our digestive system is inhabited by trillions of microorganisms that are vital for
our wellness. They colonize the surfaces and cavities of our bodies forming what
are known as CFUs, colonies forming units, in other words the beneficial flora. This flora:

• helps in the digestion and absorption of food

• supports our immune system
• detoxifies noxious compounds
• contributes to the manufacture of essential vitamins
• fortifies and rebuilds the natural flora
• contrasts the bad flora

Now, contrasting this beneficial flora is the bad flora, the bacteria, the viruses, the fungi and the protozoans, all
in some way implicated in heart disease allergies, asthma, skin disorders, obesity, digestive problems, urinary
tract infections, certain cancers and other chronic diseases. Thus a probiotic, that is a food supplement that
contains live beneficial microbes that can be used to fortify or rebuild our natural flora, is of vital importance.
ALTAFLORA ELECTROLYTES by Alta Care Laboratoires will prevent the bad flora from getting the upper hand in
your digestive system in cases such as diarrhea, food poisoning and dehydration. Another important role of
intestinal flora is that they prevent species that would harm the host from colonizing the gut; an activity termed
the “barrier effect”. The barrier effect protects humans both from invading species, as well as species that are
normally present in the gut at low numbers and whose growth is usually inhibited by the gut flora. When the flora
are not replaced one will note that the belly will be bloated.

ALTAFLORA ELECTROLYTES will provide you not only with beneficial intestinal flora but also with electrolytes,
that is

• Sodium chloride
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Calcium

Both muscle tissue and neurons are considered electric tissues of the body. Muscles and neurons are activated by
electrolyte activity. Without sufficient levels of these key electrolytes, muscle weakness or severe contractions
may occur. Serious electrolyte disturbances such as dehydration and over hydration may lead even to cardiac
and neurological complications.

ALTAFLORA ELECTROLYTES will replenish your body’s water and electroltye levels after dehydration caused by
exercise, diarrhea, vomiting, intoxication or starvation. Even athletes who exercise in extreme conditions such as
a three hour or more marathon risk over hydration, in other words hyponatremia, unless they consume
electrolytes.

ALTAFLORA ELECTROLYTES are made in France and are presented in both sachet and capsule form to replace
both electrolytes and flora. Altaflora electrolytes are the new generation sachets for diarrhoea prescribed by
doctors worldwide.
