What is the difference between a prebiotic and probiotic? More than 1 letter?
Yep! While the spelling is only 1 letter different, the difference between a prebiotic and probiotic is significant.
But because of that one letter, they do often get confused with each other.
Prebiotics are substances that create a suitable environment in the gut for the growth and development of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines, promote their reproduction or are their food. They primarily serve as nutrients for lactic acid bacteria.
Próbiotics are live microorganisms (such as bacteria or yeasts) that, when consumed in sufficient quantities, have a beneficial effect on intestinal health. They are found, for example, in fermented products such as yogurt, kefir and sauerkraut.
If the balance of bacteria in the gut is disturbed and the environment is not conducive to their existence (for example, due to the use of antibiotics), the bacteria will not help break down food, even if probiotics are added. More important than adding probiotics is maintaining the existing gut flora with prebiotics. So without prebiotics, probiotics are of no use.
Prebiotics offer a wide range of health effects even for an otherwise healthy person. Most prebiotic effects are clinically proven.
What distinguishes Divinitá™ from all other dietary supplements?
The content of prebiotic nutrients with oligosaccharides and antioxidants is suitable for sustainable daily use. With the help of Divinitá™-technology has improved the natural functioning of the Knotted wrack with which it exceeds performance of other products on the market.
Its open cell structure transforms brown algae, or brown seaweed, into the first prebiotic of its kind in the world, completely changing the importance and function of dietary supplements.
This prebiotic has a protective and beneficial effect on the body - includes omega 3, 6, 9 (unsaturated fatty acids) in good cellular balance.

Daily intake of prebiotics, as part of the diet, ensures better long-term health. A low intake of 1 capsule per day for adults is all that is needed, more (up to 3 capsules per day) for special cases such as sports activity, mental and physical stress or pregnancy, and less for children (1/2 capsule) per day or 1 every 2 days. Regular consumption of Ascophyllum Nodosum is safe and gentle.
Waarom zou ik niet gewoon knotswier eten in plaats van Divinita™?
Knotswier is van nature ontzettend voedzaam, maar het menselijk lichaam kan de meeste voedingsstoffen niet goed opnemen. De stevige celwand van het zeewier houdt veel waardevolle stoffen – zoals mineralen, antioxidanten en bioactieve verbindingen – opgesloten.
Divinita™ is knotswier met een ontgrendelde celstructuur en dat in poedervorm. Daardoor komen de voedingsstoffen vrij en kunnen ze veel sneller en efficiënter door het lichaam worden opgenomen. Bovendien is Divinita™ gezuiverd en gestandaardiseerd, zodat je steeds een veilige, zuivere en werkzame dosis krijgt — zonder de zoute smaak of zware metalen die in rauw zeewier kunnen voorkomen.
Kort gezegd:
Met Divinitá™ krijg je de kracht van knotswier, maar dan in een vorm die je lichaam echt kan benutten.
Why should anyone use Divinitá™?
There are several reasons. Algae contain minerals, vitamins, fiber, protein... Since modern produced and processed foods are poor, it is important to consume all the necessary substances in natural form and in natural balance with algae. This means that there is nothing too much and nothing too little.
It is important that algae absorb heavy metals, thus relieving the body and preventing accumulation of food in the body.
Divinitá™ alkalizes the body 70 times more strongly than other algae. When it enters the stomach, it desires and coagulates, increasing its volume by 35 times, absorbing toxins and also reducing excess acid in the stomach.
Through these processes, it relieves the liver and accelerates kidney function. It contains sufficient organic iodine, which has a beneficial effect on thyroid function, and if necessary, non-synthesized iodine is taken. Optimal thyroid function affects the proper functioning of the entire organism. It contains iron and is a great natural source of magnesium, calcium and other ingredients and nutrients. All this in Divinitá™ in the right proportions and in a form that is accessible to the body as much as possible, as all amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements are easily absorbed. Divinitá™ in de juiste verhoudingen en in een vorm die zoveel mogelijk toegankelijk is voor het lichaam, aangezien alle aminozuren, vitamines, mineralen en sporenelementen gemakkelijk worden opgenomen.
To whom do you recommend Divinitá™?
Divinitá™ is recommended for all people of all ages who want to restore, strengthen and nourish the functioning of their bodies, increase energy levels, have health problems, are exhausted or are recovering from surgery.

Can I use Divinitá if I have a thyroid disorder?
Divinitá naturally contains chelated iodine from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum.
One 0.5-gram capsule provides approximately 312 micrograms of iodine.
This chelated form can support iodine absorption. For comparison: the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults is 150 micrograms, and the safe upper limit is around 600 micrograms per day.
As a rule, caution with iodine is especially important if you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or if you are taking thyroid medication. In such cases, extra iodine can affect the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Do you have a thyroid disorder or are you unsure about the suitability of Divinitá? Always consult your doctor or treating specialist before using the product. This will ensure that the amount and form of iodine are appropriate for your personal situation.
What do we sense when we use Divinitá™?
Rapid increase in energy - the fastest athletes (marathon runners, professional athletes, athletes). Algae restores balance to the body, cleanses, detoxifies and strengthens the body. In a few days the skin becomes more beautiful and the real results appear in months.
Regular intake has a preventive effect, making it harder for a well-maintained organism to get sick, to have a higher resistance and to fight viruses, bacteria and other diseases more easily. They can provide a feeling of satiety, as their volume in the stomach increases by 35 times. It also contributes to a better metabolism and a faster metabolism when eating too much.
What if I don't like Divinitá™ or have trouble swallowing capsules?
It may already be reassuring to you that you only need to take 1 a day, preferably before breakfast.
From experience: The fastest method is to put the capsule in the mouth, immediately take a big gulp of water and swallow.

Can pregnant women use Divinitá™?
Juist voor hen wordt Divinitá™ aanbevolen om het lichaam te voorzien van de nodige voedingsstoffen. Voedingsstoffen die niet in voldoende hoeveelheden uit de dagelijkse voeding kunnen worden gehaald en alle overtollige stoffen worden overigens geëlimineerd. Lees ook deze blog aangaande Divinitá™ in relatie tot zwangerschap óf zwanger willen worden.
The recommended daily allowance for pregnant women is up to 2 capsules per day with 2 dcl of water. It is also recommended to take them before pregnancy, which makes pregnancy easier. Energy is the key...
What to do in case of food poisoning, heavy metals or radiation?
For food poisoning, heavy metals and radiation, use up to 3 capsules daily (e.g., 1 capsule with each meal) for at least 8 weeks, then 1 capsule per day for up to 24 months. Experience shows that long-term daily use, not higher daily intake, is the key to success.
What vitamins, minerals and other nutrients does Divinitá™ contain?
It contains chlorophyll which cleanses the blood and kidneys. Divinitá™ also contains a series of special polysaccharides (fibers) that bind, neutralize and remove toxins from the body. These include heavy metals. These polysaccharides are easily digestible natural sugars.
Of particular interest among these polysaccharides are alginic acids, which, like pectin from fresh apples, bind and remove metals such as barium, cadmium, lead and mercury. It also contains other exceptional polysaccharides such as mannuronic acids, laminarin and fucoidin, which have received much attention in studies of anti-tumor and anti-cancer agents.

Other nutrients: chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, enzymes, lipids, lipoproteins and important organic compounds that cannot be defined. Want to know more? Then click here.
What is polyuronic acid?
Polyuronic acid has tremendous ion exchange capacity to increase the alkalinity of the organism. It has a very high absorption capacity and the ability to excrete radioactive elements.
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are atoms, ions, molecules or complexes that are highly reactive and therefore unstable. Because of these properties, they react quickly with other molecules and damage cells, resulting in various diseases.
They are constantly formed in our body by environmental influences, intake of harmful substances (preservatives, pesticides, other chemicals, tar, alcohol), stress, aging, they are also a byproduct of cellular respiration, which means they are part of normal physiological processes.
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are substances that help reduce free radical damage to cells. When they bind oxygen to themselves, they eliminate free radicals and strengthen the body's defenses.
What are oligosaccharides?
Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates composed of 2 to 12 monosaccharides (sugars) found in nature as a product of the breakdown of polysaccharides. They bind to proteins or lipids and form the outer shell of cells. They are important in cell recognition and the immune response.
Is Divinitá™ safe for human consumption?
The product has undergone extensive research
In Europe, the standards for dietary supplements are extremely high. So it's important that everything the manufacturer does is backed by EFSA, FDA and other agencies. Therefore, they as well as we know that the product we give to our customers is scientifically validated, incredibly safe and proven beneficial.
What really sets the manufacturer apart from other companies making natural health supplements is the technology behind Divinitá™. It took years of work to perfect. In the end, this technology turned out to be a needle in a haystack, found by Dr. Goran Dordic.
Divinitá™ Technology is a unique process in which Dr. Goran Dordic discovered a way to open the cell structure of the main ingredient, brown seaweed, while keeping the nutritional content intact. This open cell structure allows the rich nutritional library of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, antioxidants and amino acids that the body cannot produce itself to be effectively absorbed by the human body. These are essential for restoring and maintaining good health. The open cell structure also turns the brown alga into the first prebiotic of its kind in the world.
Prebiotics are a very specific healthy food ingredient that enables the growth of the biocultures we know as probiotics. These biocultures are already in your body and depend on regular consumption of prebiotics to ensure that there are enough probiotic bacteria to help your gut perform optimally.
Can I also give Divinitá™ to my dog or cat?
Yes, Divinitá™ is also suitable for dogs and cats. Adjust the dosage to the animal's body weight. Prebiotics are increasingly seen in pet foods these days, and specifically clubweed (Ascophyllum Nodosum) has been shown to be good for the oral health of dogs and cats.Source)
How did the name Divinitá™ originate?
The raw material, brown algae, may come from Scottish and Norwegian waters but the rest is an amalgamation of a way of thinking and living that the Western world has partially lost due to industrialization; “Work and think with your heart.”
Many know Slovenia as a country where it still feels and smells pure, where the majority of people have not lost contact with nature.
De heilzame resultaten van de bruine algen, die met de Divinitá™ Technologie werden ontsloten, waren zo verbazingwekkend dat in feite uit 100% biologische bruine algen Ascophyllum Nodosum ‘bronenergie’ is gecreëerd. De algen voor deze bronenergie werd door de producent Divinitá™ genoemd omdat dat het beste het gevoel beschreef van Goran’s familie en vrienden na regelmatig gebruik.
They all claimed that this newfound energy was inspiring and made them feel more youthful. It was not like the energy they felt when taking a substance containing caffeine or another stimulant. The energy came from within. As the research progressed, Goran soon realized that this energy came from having healthier cells. The healthy cells in our bodies enabled clean cellular energy, and thus source energy was born.
This technology is so unique that it helps increase the effectiveness of brown algae. The manufacturer is constantly working to create products that improve the well-being of both humans and animals. Furthermore, the products enable mankind to improve the environment and nature. The goal of the products is to ensure that whatever you do, you are functioning at your peak, that you feel at your best. And what is true for humans is also true for an animal and ALSO for our beautiful planet.
