AVD Value Proposition

Catalogue of products

Powerful immune modulator with proprietary AVD formula.

Micotherapy U-CARE is an AVD REFORM proprietary blend containing concentrated hydroalcoholic extracts of 5 mushrooms traditionally considered to be ‘medicinal’: Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Maitake (Grifola frondosa), Agaricus blazei Murrill, Cordyceps sinensis and Shiitake (Lentinula edodes).

HEALTH BENEFITS:
This specially-developed formula contains polysaccharides (Beta glucans 1.3-1.6) with a potent immunomodulatory activity, triterpenes, ergothioneine, ergosterols and numerous other biologically active compounds to support the body’s health. The synergy of beta glucans obtained from different mushroom species has a more complete effect on the immune system.



Ergogenic and tonic support

Cordyceps sinensis is a medicinal mushroom with a wide range of uses. Originating in the Himalayas, it grows at altitudes above 3,000 metres and has been used in China for approximately two thousand years. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered a powerful tonic for the kidneys and improves our vital energy.

HEALTH BENEFITS:
Cordyceps has always been considered one of nature’s most powerful remedies. In traditional Chinese medicine, it was used for immune system support and to aid recovery in situations of convalescence, even after severely debilitating illnesses. It is now considered an anti-ageing, adaptogenic tonic that improves cellular energy use and production, and aerobic cellular metabolism, giving the body greater resistance, useful in sport performance.

Innovative natural prebiotic with added digestive enzymes, designed to promote intestinal eubiosis

HEALTH BENEFITS:
Based on prebiotic fibres (SUNFIBER®) and Baobab, Microbiotin Fibra is the innovative natural prebiotic with added digestive enzymes designed to promote intestinal eubiosis, increase the biodiversity of the microbiota, and inhibit the proliferation of excessive anaerobic bacteria that can cause putrefactive fermentation, without the undesirable side effects - such as swelling or excessive fermentation - often caused by common dietary fibres.
Microbiotin Fibra contains partially hydrolyzed Guar seed extract (PHGG), with a high solubility and prebiotic index, as well as Baobab fruit powder, alpha and beta galactosidase and Caraway extract with antispasmodic action.
The use of Microbiotin Fibra helps to improve the robustness and plasticity of the microbiota, an "organ" involved in the response of the immune system, it promotes the proper assimilation of nutrients and increases the sense of satiety, maintains the integrity of the intestinal mucosa and regulates chronic low-grade inflammation.
The product is indicated for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with diarrhoea or constipation, for intestinal dysbiosis, abdominal swelling and digestive problems, LOW FODMAP diets or diets with low fibre content, intolerance to lactose, legumes, cruciferous vegetables and complex carbohydrates, and for metabolic syndrome when weight loss is required.
