PERSONAL HEALTH

1. Gastrointestinal Disorders Relief

Using probiotics to improve your intestine function & health is the most common use of daily probiotics. Common signals that you may have unbalanced bacteria in your intestine include diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, constipation and gas and bloating. Taking a daily probiotic, like PRO EM-1® , can help balance out this bacteria and it is a longer lasting solution than an over-the-counter quick fix..

2. Better Digestion & Nutrient Absorption

Breaking down food and digestion is not easy when you have an unhealthy digestive system. When food is not broken down properly, you do not gain any benefits from your diet. This means that the vitamins and nutrients from your food are not being absorbed at their peak. Probiotics keep your digestive tract efficient and allow nutrients to be absorbed by the body.

3. Encourages Weight Loss

Research has shown that the overflow of bad bacteria in your gut may cause inflammation in the body, making losing weight very challenging. Probiotics can help decrease inflammation and over time, assist in losing weight. However, probiotics, like PRO EM-1® , should be taken and as a complement to a healthy diet. Continuing to eat processed foods and those high in sugar will cause bad bacteria to continue to grow in your gut causing weight gain.

4. Clearer Skin

Studies have shown that probiotics help with certain skin disorders, such as acne and eczema..

5. Improved Immune System

The good bacteria that is probiotics assist the immune system in flushing out harmful bacteria and pathogens that enter your system. Those who have a tendency to get sick with the cold or flu can benefit from taking probiotics. Medication that help with the cold or flu can actually suppress immune function, a probiotic can help counterbalance this.  

Microbial Inoculants Feed The Soil Rather Than Deplete It.

The whole idea behind EM-1^®  is that healthy soil and clean water are maintained by the diversity and balance of the community of microorganisms within them.

For example, when the balance of microorganisms in the soil is disrupted, soil will be impoverished and plants and crops will not grow well.

However, if native microorganisms are activated, soil conditions will improve.

When the soil microbiology is in balance, plants will be healthy, thus more resistant to damage caused by stressors such as disease or harmful insects.

The reason that EM can solve the problems it does is that EM restores a healthy balance of microorganisms in the ecosystem, thereby increasing its self-purification ability.

EM-1 Microbial Inoculant comes in a variety of sizes and can be purchased on the Teraganix website. 

Sizes available: 16oz, 32oz, 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 55 Gallon Barrel. 

EM Technology ® was "discovered" and developed by Professor Dr. Teruo Higa while he was a professor of horticulture at the College of Agriculture, University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan.

He became ill from his exposure to chemicals before he turned 30. Prior to that, Dr. Higa was a proponent of conventional agriculture and worked on the development of synthetic agricultural products. 

Having grown up around farming, he knew that farmers were left at the mercy of the chemical companies that supplied them with increasingly expensive inputs.

He decided to find a natural method through the use of beneficial microorganisms that would help relieve the farmers of their chemical dependencies.

In the mid-late 1960’s, microorganisms were being studied around the world for various applications. Most of that research was on single strains of microbes using single inoculations.

Dr. Higa decided to study combined cultures first to find which ones would co-exist. He used only non-pathogenic, facultative (work with and without air) microbes for his experiments.

A mixture he had thrown on a patch of grass before leaving for a school vacation was eventually to become what we know as EM-1®. Upon returning from vacation he noticed the area where he had thrown the “waste” product had grown considerably. He reviewed his notes and re-mixed his concoction. 

Through years of experimentation he discovered the optimal combination of microbes and named the combination “EM®”, an acronym for “Effective Microorganisms®”.

The beneficial effects of EM is produced when the groups of microorganisms in EM・1, including lactic acid bacteria, yeast and phototrophic bacteria, activate native microorganisms in the environment and harness their intrinsic power.
