What does “triple– certified” mean?

Accepted Answer

“Triple certified” means that each product is Regenerative Organic Certified®, USDA Certified Organic and CCOF Organic, which is NON-GMO & more. This product is the first of its kind to achieve all three certifications.

Question 5

What makes this formula unique?

Accepted Answer

This exclusive formulation features three Regenerative Organic Certified® ingredients: turkey tail mushroom mycelium, fermented blackberry whole plant and fermented oregano leaf (all grown on our founders’ farms) plus organic spirulina and clinically studied probiotic Bacillus subtilis AB22 – all to support a healthy immune system, balanced bacteria and yeast in the gut.

Question 6

What is Candida?

Accepted Answer

There are various forms of microorganisms which naturally exist in the body, and Candida albicans, or C. albicans, is a yeast typically found in your mucous membranes and skin. This is normal and usually harmless. But if it’s not in balance, there can be negative ramifications. It can get to various parts of the body, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, heart, skin, fingers, nails and the genitourinary tract. Here’s what happens: yeast crowds out other gut flora and impacts the composition of gut enzymes and the gut’s ability to absorb nutrients. That’s not all that happens, though. Yeast also releases certain unwanted by-products that are then absorbed through the gut or throughout the body. Yuck. Yeast imbalance can be quite uncomfortable, too. Overall, a yeast and fungal imbalance can lead to overall discomfort.

Question 7

What is the difference between Ancient Nutrition Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† and Ancient Nutrition Candida?

Accepted Answer

Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† and Candida are both designed to support the overall health of your gut. Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† is made with ingredients grown on our founders’ Regenerative Organic Certified® farms, which are held to the highest standards in history for soil health, animal welfare and farmer fairness. Candida does not contain ingredients grown on our founders’ farms. Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† features three Regenerative Organic Certified® ingredients: turkey tail mushroom mycelium, fermented blackberry whole plant and fermented oregano leaf (all grown on our founders’ farms) plus organic spirulina to support a healthy immune system, balanced bacteria and yeast in the gut.† Candida has organic turkey tail mycelium, fermented pau d’arco bark, and organic fermented oregano leaf and astragalus root which are traditionally used to support gut health. Candida also has digestive enzymes (lysozyme, cellulase, hemicellulase) to support digestion and nutrient absorption. Both Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† and Candida have beneficial mushroom-mycelium that undergo a fermentation-like proprietary process, which helps to enhance the beneficial properties of our superfood ingredients, while promoting the bioavailability and absorption of nutrients. But, the mushrooms in Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† are grown on our founders’ Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† is enhanced with 5 billion CFU1 of proprietary Bacillus subtilis AB22, a highly effective, live culture strain that supports nutrient absorption and promotes gut health†. Candida includes 2 billion CFU1 of a clinically studied SBO probiotic strain called Bacillus subtilis. SBO, or soil-based organism, probiotics thrive in harsh environments (like the gut). We’ve included it to provide added support for a healthy gut, digestive function and healthy gut flora.† Regenerative Organic Certified® Candida Balance† is triple certified – Regenerative Organic Certified®, USDA Certified Organic and non-GMO**. Candida does not currently have these certifications. 1At Expiration Date under recommended storage conditions. 1At time of manufacture. **CCOF Organic is Non-GMO and more.

Question 8

What is Bacillus subtilis AB22?

Accepted Answer

Bacillus subtilis AB22 is a highly effective, live culture strain that was primarily developed by Ancient Nutrition founder and CEO Jordan Rubin. Ancient Nutrition is the first to use it. AB22 stands for Amplified Biotic and the 22 stands for the year it was introduced (2022). Known as a spore-forming SBO, Bacillus subtilis AB22 has all the benefits and qualities of Bacillus subtilis but functions at a higher level. Why is it important? -It can thrive in a hostile environment, like stomach acid - It acts as an “enzyme factory,” producing plant-digesting enzymes helping to produce short chain fatty acids Short chain fatty acids in general: - Help promote a healthy gut lining - Help create an inhospitable environment against undesirable microbes - Help supply energy to the human body

Question 9

Why is there a probiotic in this formula?

Accepted Answer

This formula is enhanced with Bacillus subtilis AB22 , a highly effective, live culture strain that supports ingredient absorption and promotes gut health†.

Question 10

Why does each formula include a mushroom or a mushroom-myceliated ingredient?

Accepted Answer

Every single Regenerative Organic Certified® formula has beneficial mushroom-myceliated ingredients (Lion’s Mane for this formula). Lion’s Mane has been traditionally used to support cognitive health for centuries. Our mushroom and mushroom-myceliated ingredients undergo a fermentation-like proprietary process, which helps to enhance the beneficial properties of our superfood ingredients, while promoting the bioavailability and absorption of nutrients.
