1. What is OM-X? Ohhira Mountain fruit eXtracts (OM-X) is a naturally fermented concentrate of 7 Wild fruits, 2 Herbs and 2 Seaweeds, gathered from the cold mountain regions of Okayama, Japan and allowed to ferment with mountain spring water. top 2. How is OM-X fermented? The fermentation process is scientifically-monitored for three to five years at a low temperature, in a natural, non-polluted environment. This process follows the normal seasonal fluctuations in weather conditions. top 3. What is in an OM-X capsule? 12 Types of friendly Lactic Acid Bacteria, 18 Amino Acids, 9 Vitamins and 5 Minerals. Bacteria represent an integral part of the intestinal system throughout the lifetime of a person. They start to reside in the gastrointestinal tract (gut) of a baby as it passes through the birth canal. The mother also provides additional friendly bacteria to a child as a result of breast-feeding. top 4. Why do we need OM-X? By the time we reach adulthood, there are over 400 different species with a total population of 100 trillion bacteria (approximately ten times more than the number of human cells in the body) present in our "intestinal microflora" - Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira. The bacteria which colonize our bodies may be maintained between good and bad bacteria in the ratio of 85% to 15%. The maintenance of this internal balance is necessary to support the normal processes of the body. top However, this delicate balance is disrupted by three major factors:-
5. What Role Does Lactic Acid Bacteria Play In Human Nutrition? Nutrition is defined as the supply of essential elements e.g. Amino Acids, Oils, Minerals, water, fibre and Vitamins, to support growth, maintenance and repair of the body. Friendly Lactic Acid Bacteria are an essential component of the food chain and the ultimate concept in nutrition. Historically humans were constantly exposed to it in nature from the moment of birth and established the micro flora and fauna. The Lactic Acid Bacteria in return for living space in the intestine, manufacture B Group Vitamins, assist in digestion and absorption of nutrients, help detoxification, act as a watchdog by competing for space with undesirable micro organisms, in addition to other jobs such as triggering the immune system. The technology revolution has eliminated these bacteria from food and modern man has to combat chemicals in food, air and water, stress, smoking and frequent use of Antibiotics, also the emergence of drug resistant bacteria has proven to be a disastrous cocktail in altering, for the worst, the complex balance of the micro-ecology of the gut. top 6. How does OM-X work? The lactic acid bacteria in OM-X capsules provide elements necessary to restore the internal balance of the intestinal system and encourage the body to function in the best possible and most natural way. Importantly, the action of friendly lactic acid bacteria complement the beneficial effects of other elements like correct exercise, a balanced and organic diet, clean air, adequate hydration, inner tranquillity, good rest, creativity and so on. top 7. What is the capsule made of? Each soft capsule is made from vegetable gum (agar-agar), bean protein and (gluten free) wheat. top 8. What is the purpose of the soft capsule? The capsule ensures the integrity and storage stability of the contents by preventing oxidation and other degradation processes. Furthermore, it preserves the product from external micro-biological contamination. Also, the capsules eliminate the need for artificial preservatives and additives and protect the contents from the corrosive action of the stomach's acid on first entry. top 9. Should OM-X be consumed on a daily basis? Yes! This ensures a constant supply of friendly lactic acid bacteria (both the permanent and transient types) in our intestines. Furthermore, nutrition, internal nourishment and internal balance should be an ongoing commitment for your general well-being; the general state of our body/mind should best indicate how often and how much OM-X we continue to take. top 10. Is OM-X safe? Yes. OM-X is a totally natural product made from natural ingredients, with no artificial chemicals, additives, preservatives or colouring. OM-X has been developed and tested to exacting standards, to exceed the demands of the consumer. Thus, it fulfils the requirements of the "Food Standards Code" which was developed by the Natural Food Administration and administered by each State Health Department. OM-X capsules have been defined by the National Food Authority as a miscellaneous food regulated by Standard S1 of the food code and also presented to all the Health Departments of each State and Territory of Australia. We are actually exposed to live bacteria from birth. Infants acquire some friendly bacteria as they pass through the birth canal. Breast feeding further allows the fermentation of more friendly bacteria such as bifido and lactobacillus. top 11. When and how much OM-X should I take? The serving suggestion is 2 to 4 capsules per day, taken with water on an empty stomach. Alternatively, OM-X capsules may be chewed for those with gastric problems. After a while you may feel like varying the serving suggestion. It's your choice - good nutrition is all about how you feel and what's right for your body. top 12. How do children eat OM-X? For children that are not able to swallow the capsule, snip the tip of the capsule and squeeze out the paste for consumption. The OM-X can be consumed this way also if your are experiencing sore or irritated throat. top 13. How should OM-X be stored? The quality of OM-X capsules is guaranteed for two (2) years from the date of production for storage at room temperature (lower than 20oC or 70oF). Putrefactive bacteria in OM-X have less chance to grow in the capsule because they always repeat their fermentation within the supernatant. That is, OM-X does not putrefy. Since the lactic acid bacteria in the capsule is alive, the period whereby the proteolytic activity of the bacteria is at its' maximum is 2 years. When OM-X is stored in a cool and dark place (ex. refrigerator) and out of direct sunlight, OM-X can be active for a longer period. top 14. What are the initial reactions on consuming OM-X? When you start consuming OM-X, various physical changes will appear. Some people experience symptoms such as softer feaces, harder feaces, tiredness, rashes, bloating, gas, headaches etc. This healing crisis is known as Herxheimer Reaction. These reations are positive signs that the body is ridding itself of harmful organisms and toxins that were accumulated in the body. The appearence/intensity of these temporary reactions varies from person to person depending on the health conditions of the individual. Some people feel more energetic and alert. top 15. Why is OM-X fermented over 5 years? The temperature during the fermentation of OM-X is not controlled artificially. It is done under natural condition/temperature thus requiring 5 years to complete. With this method we are able to produce a high quality probiotic with lactic acid bacteria that have proteolytic power 6.6 times stronger than ordinary ones. top 16. Why is OM-X superior to other products? OM-X is unique. The preparation of OM-X involves the use of natural organic ingredients and a natural, non-chemical fermentation process unlike any of the destructive synthetic methods used by industry. As a superior biotechnology product producer, it's inventor Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, succeeded in concentrating 12 different strains of friendly lactic acid bacteria from three groups, within a single OM-X capsule. This novel concentrated form of microbial food supplement contains as many as 59 million live and viable bacteria in each capsule. top 17.
