Bionutri is a new name in the supplement Industry founded at the beginning of 2007 by Robert Joy. They may be a new kid on the block but Bionutri's experience goes back over twenty five years. Working with a team of dedicated nutrition practitioners, naturopaths and scientists their aim is to provide the very best in nutritional supplementation.
Bionutri's products are designed to provide specific, straightforward solutions for daily supplementation, simplifying their use and simplifying the work of recommendation by practitioners and associated healthcare professionals.
Bionutri€™s first product, Ecobalance, has been widely praised by practitioners and won the Best New Product Award at the UK Total CAM Show in Harrogate. The other two products nominated for this Industry Award by the judges €“ all Council members of the prestigious Health Food Institute €“ were Bionutri Estrolignan and Bionutri Elderberry Complex. Bionutri EcoGest (Pineapple, Papaya, Gamma Oryzanol, Acidophilus & Bifidobacteria) 90 caps
Bionutri Ecogest digestive enzyme formula provides a combination of concentrated Pineapple and Papaya, both of which contain naturally occurring proteolytic digestive enzymes such as Bromelain within Pineapple and Papain within Papaya.
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria are lactic acid forming ‘friendly’ bacteria that help to break down starches and fibre in food and are commonly used in the production of yogurts and fermented foods to make them more digestible. Lactic acid forming bacteria also help to convert lactose the sugar found in milk milk into simple sugars which may be better tolerated by sensitive individuals who may be lactose intolerant. Lactic bacteria also help to maintain bowel regularity.
Ecogest provides standardised proteolytic activity from these concentrated natural sources, helping to break down food and making it easier to digest. Ecogest also contains two separate strains of L. acidophilus and two separate strains of Bifidobacteria along with Gamma Oryzanol from ricegerm and may help to settle a nervous tummy.

Bionutri Estrolignan® Plus (Lignans and Fish Oil) 30 + 30 caps
Bionutri Estrolignan Plus is a food supplement that provides a rich source of dietary lignans from linseed along with a combination of Omega 3 Fish Oil from sardine and anchovy, Limonene and Vitamin D.
Lignans are widely distributed in plant material and form a normal part of our everyday diet, but flax (linseed) is by far the best known food source, providing around 100 times more than any other plant material. The primary Lignan found in flax is SDG. Lignans are phytoestrogens whose nutritional role has become increasingly recognised
Each capsule of Bionutri Estrolignan Plus provides as much SDG as around 2 tablespoons of whole Linseeds €“ however, unless linseeds are ground or milled, only a small proportion of their Lignans can be digested – Linseed Oil does not contain Lignans.
Estrolignan Plus is a twin-pack in which the micronutrients are provided in a separate capsule to the Omega 3 (Fish Oil) capsules. Both capsules may be taken at the same time, but encapsulating them separately helps to enhance the integrity of the micronutrients, particularly the Lignans.
Recommended Intake
1 fish oil capsules and 1 micronutrient capsule daily with food

Product Improvements
The appearance of the two capsules in Cardiomega Plus has recently altered, but there has been no change to the active ingredients or their amounts within the capsules. The Micronutrient capsule contains Lycopene, a very dark red substance derived from tomato. Previously, the Lycopene was in the form of €œbeadlets€ that appeared as dark speckles within the capsule. We have now made the Lycopene into a much finer powder which is more evenly mixed within the capsule and this causes the whole capsule to appear red. The Omega 3 capsule previously contained vegetable chlorophyll in the gelatin shell which gave the capsule a greenish tinge. We have removed this so that the capsule now shows the natural golden colour of the fish oil.

Bionutri Vitamin C Complex (Vitamin C as Potassium & Magnesium Ascorbate & Pomegranate, Plum & Blueberry) 30, 90 caps
Bionutri Vitamin C complex combines two separate mineral sources of Vitamin C (Potassium Ascorbate and
Magnesium Ascorbate) with the powdered extracts of three different fruits – Pomegranate, Plum and Blueberry.
Bionuti prefer Potassium & Magnesium Ascorbate as our sources of Vitamin C rather than the more commonly used Ascorbic Acid.
In nature, Vitamin C occurs alongside a class of compounds called polyphenols – they are found together in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables – hence the
inclusion of these fruit extracts within the complex. A growing body of research demonstrates the specific roles that different polyphenols express, and many texts
refer to the supportive properties of both Blueberry and Pomegranate to immune, vascular and digestive health as well as to their antioxidant content.

Bionutri’s EcoDophilus is a supplement that supplies a combination of four different strains of probiotic €” live organisms known to confer benefit to the health of the digestive tract and to support the well being of the immune system.
To ensure the viability of these very sensitive organisms, the probiotics are freeze-dried and then encapsulated and packed within a triple blister film that protects them from the damaging effects of oxygen and moisture right up to the moment they€™re consumed. Because of this, EcoDophilus does not need to be refrigerated.
Kefir and Bulgaricus are the oldest-known probiotics, whilst Acidophilus and Bifido bacteria are amongst the most widely researched. The EcoDophilus combination has received wide acclaim from nutritionists and naturopaths alike.
