Chaga Mushroom: Enriched with wild medicinal Chaga Mushroom to support digestive, nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and endocrine systems. This blend offers a lively, tangy flavour from natural fermentation.

Milk Thistle: Fortified with Milk Thistle Seed to support liver health and healthy body composition, through its active component silymarin. The natural fermentation process imparts a lively, tangy flavour to this formulation.

Honey Herb: Fortified with Raw Honey, Lemon Verbena, Licorice, and Chamomile, this subtle, delicate blend has been thoughtfully formulated for sensitive bowels and palates. Not suitable for infants under the age of 12 months.

Quoriom+ extracts the micro-nutrients from medicinal plants through fermentation. The combination of the micro-nutrients and the live probiotic cultures is what makes Quoriom+ the ideal liquid probiotic.

Lactic acid fermentation: During this anaerobic process, starches or sugars are broken down to produce lactic acid, among other waste products. Lactic acid bacteria not only protect foods from microbial spoilage, but they also protect the body from microbial disease. Lactic acid fermentation is commonly used in the production of foods like yogurt, pickles, and sauerkraut.

Just like all fermented food that has not been pasteurized, Quoriom+ is full of live bacteria. When exposed to warmth and energy, live bacteria wake up, multiply, metabolize and begin to harmonize in its new environment.

30 ml or 1 oz is the recommended average daily dosage for adults and teenagers aged 16+. 

For ages 1-15, we recommend 10-15ml. 

These can be single or divided does throughout the day. You may increase or decrease quantity based on health needs.  You can also benefit from a higher amount of probiotics if you’ve experienced times of high stress or prolonged illness, unbalanced or unhealthy diet and lifestyle, suffer from IBS or IBD; and, after courses of antibiotics, to restore the microbial balance in your gut

Feel free to experiment. Quoriom+ is perfectly safe*. Your body will tell you (i.e., with bloating, gas, discomfort) when you are taking too much or too little.

*CAUTION! Do not give Quoriom+ Honey Herb to infants under the age of 12 months. Honey is contraindicated for infants because the human digestive tract is not fully developed until 1 year after full-term birth. If honey is introduced too early, its large molecules may enter the bloodstream through permeable intestinal walls. An infant’s immune system may then identify these molecules as foreign invaders, potentially resulting in severe allergic reactions upon subsequent exposure.

Mix 30 ml of Quoriom+ into your smoothie, in a glass with a little water or juice or drink it straight up.

The faster probiotics reach the small intestine, the more effective they will be. For maximum effect, take Quoriom+ on an empty stomach 30 minutes prior to eating and before hunger manifests, or 3 hours after a meal. Having food in your stomach will delay its contents reaching the small intestine. That said, Quoriom+ products have a low pH that can survive in stomach acid; therefore, combining it with easily digestible foods with a fast transit time through the digestive tract, is still highly beneficial.

Certain foods and drinks may negatively impact the survival and efficacy of probiotics. For example, excessive consumption of sugary or highly processed foods may create an environment in the gut that is less favorable for probiotic growth. To get the most out of your probiotics it’s best to greatly limit or avoid these food and drinks.

The world is awakening to the power of fermented foods. Our Quoriom+ products feature Fermented live probiotics cultures fortified with medicinal plants. Here are a few key benefits of regularly taking Quoriom+:

• Promotes regularity
• Improves nutrient absorption
• Aids in digestion

The fermentation yields a pH adjusted drink like vinegar. This allows Quoriom+ to survive stomach acid and reach the small intestine where probiotics are most effective, followed by the lower intestine for further benefits. Quoriom+ not only offers its own suite of health benefits including fighting harmful types of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites, reducing inflammation, and supporting good cardiovascular health, it is also the perfect delivery media for the live probiotic bacteria. When successfully delivered to the small intestines, maximum benefit is guaranteed as nutrients are absorbed and waste is excreted.

The science confirming the positive health effect of probiotics is growing exponentially in not only depth but also in breadth. It has been known to directly aid digestive health for a long time and indirectly support the immune system, fight inflammation and improve metabolic processes in the whole body. Now multiple sources are researching and documenting the positive impact of probiotics on mental health including fighting anxiety, depression and supporting increased confidence.

Your bile and stomach-acid are designed to break down the food you eat. At the same time, it also challenges the probiotic microbes that need to reach the intestinal tract alive and ready for action. To survive the perilous journey through your stomach, freezer dried powders are coated with a tough, outside capsule. The capsule makes it difficult even for the gut and its micro flora to digest which is important to deliver the friendly microbes to the intestines.

Quoriom+ uses a proprietary fermentation process that yield a pH adjusted liquid similar to vinegar. Our fermented fortified liquid probiotics not only support live, bio-active microbes but is also the only effective delivery media that helps live probiotic cultures survive the perilous journey through the gut into the intestines.

Quoriom+ is created through a proprietary fermentation process. The fermentation process is designed to create a community where a complex blend of 10 different live probiotic cultures can harmonize, multiply and metabolize. The fermentation process is controlled by temperature and monitored for pH (acidity level). The low pH creates an environment that prevents the development of harmful bacteria and acts as a natural preservative.

Quoriom+ is 100% natural & organic and contains no fillers, flavours or non-active ingredients. Every ingredient not only contributes to the therapeutic power of Quoriom+ but also contributes instrumentally to the fermentation process.

30 ml or 1 oz is the recommended daily dosage. Some or all can be consumed before or with breakfast. Alternately, the dosage can also be split up and consumed before meals and/or before bed. The younger you are the less you may need. The older you are, the more you may benefit from increasing your dosage. Feel free to experiment. Quoriom+ is perfectly safe. Your body will tell you (i.e., with bloating, gas, discomfort) when you are taking too much.

According to the WHO, Probiotics are “live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.”¹ Different probiotics have been shown to treat or prevent a wide variety of health issues.

Certain Health Benefits are common to all Probiotics (Core Benefits)^2,3:

• Regulation of intestinal transit
• Normalization of perturbed microbiota
• Turnover of enterocytes
• Competitive exclusion of pathogens
• Colonization resistance
• Short-Chain fatty acid production

Some probiotic effects are found only among specific species of probiotics^2,3:

• Vitamin synthesis
• Gut-barrier reinforcement
• Bile salt metabolism
• Enzymatic activity
• Neutralization of carcinogens

Lastly, certain benefits may only be found among specific strains of bacteria^2,3:

• Neurological effects
• Immunological effects
• Endocrinological effects
• The production of bio-actives

Quoriom+ can be taken on its own; with a little water or juice; or, mixed into a smoothie.

Note: The bacteria are sensitive to temperature and therefore mixing Quoriom+ probiotics in frozen foods or hot beverages, is not recommended. Do not cook or freeze Quoriom+ products.

We strongly advocate incorporating Quoriom+ probiotics into your daily diet to promote optimal health. Our highly bio-available liquid probiotic formulas are living, fermented foods that effortlessly integrate into your digestive system, with maximum absorption. Quoriom+, Drink it daily. Drink it for Life!

Many lifestyle factors can disrupt and compromise your intestinal flora, a crucial component of overall well-being. Factors such as the use of antacids, exposure to stress, various infections, and a suboptimal diet characterized by excessive sugar, unhealthy fats, and low fiber intake can negatively affect the balance of your intestinal flora. These influences may contribute to a moderate imbalance, progressively favouring the proliferation of “bad bacteria” at the expense of “good bacteria”.

The human microbiota, particularly the gut bacteria, significantly contribute to maintaining overall health. Numerous research studies on probiotics indicate their potential effectiveness in addressing various health concerns, such as allergies, digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease; adverse effects of antibiotic usage; infections, including Clostridium difficile or H. pylori; diarrhea and travel-related diarrhea; constipation; dermatological issues such as eczema; weight management; metabolic disorders; cancer; and a spectrum of other health-related issues.

Regularly including a high-quality probiotic supplement in your routine can help maintain a healthy and balanced gut microbiota, which is essential for overall health. Moreover, the enzymes released by beneficial bacteria aid in supporting the digestive process.

When you start using our high-quality live probiotic formulas, it’s normal to experience changes in your gastrointestinal activity. This is a temporary situation as your system adapts to the introduction of living bacteria. Pay attention to your body, as sensitivity varies among individuals. If you find yourself more sensitive, consider a more gradual approach to consuming Quoriom+. For adults and teenagers aged 16 and above, start with 10 – 15 ml per day in divided doses, while children aged 1-15 can begin with 5 – 10 ml, for the first week or two. Afterward, incrementally increase to the full recommended daily serving amount based on what feels best for you.
