21 Days to a Happier Tummy - Molkosan Review
All Disease Begins in the Gut
There is a quote attributed to Hippocrates, (referred to as the father of Western Medicine) that says that "All disease begins in the gut". As a Nutritionist, the #1 cause for most of the health issues of clients I see is digestion.
Today's world is filled with so much processed and refined foods. Our bodies are using up our digestive enzymes faster than we used to, and we only have a limited amount of enzymes available to us. Bloating, gas, skin disorders, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea and heartburn are just a few symptoms of a poor digestive system.
Studies have shown that an inadequate digestive system will literally steal enzymes from the immune system to help the digestive system work. This leads to a weakened immune system, as well as increasing the body's toxic load.
Poor digestion as been shown in studies to be a contributing factor to obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, IBS, cancer and even neurological diseases such as depression, anxiety, Parkinsons and Alzheimers.
Pretty scary, isn't it?
Scary, but there are ways to help heal your gut. In my practice as a nutritionist, I know the importance of balancing the pH of your body. Too acidic and you will start to see the symptoms of poor health and disease. In a healthy gut environment, your body can neutralize acidity with alkaline buffers. However, poor diet and other digestive issues can contribute to a highly acidic environment in our bodies.
So, when I was offered the opportunity to review A Vogel's new product called Molkosan, I was excited to give it a try.
21 Days to a Happier Tummy
A Vogel offered the 21 Days to a Happier Tummy challenge and I accepted! For the past 15 days, I have been taking Molkosan every day. A Vogel supplied 2- 200 ml bottles (each bottle will last 15 days), and some pH strips to measure my alkalinity.
The instructions on the packaging tell you to take up to 1 tablespoon in a 8 oz glass of cold water, which is the way I have been doing it every day so far. Although one day in a rush, I just took the tablespoon of Molkosan straight up, and it was still good. (I did still drink a glass of water right after though)
The pomegranate taste is very pleasing to me, but for those who might not like the intense flavour here are a few other ways to use the product.
Molkosan can be added:
- to your favourite smoothie
- when you juice your vegetables,
- to a little bit of organic apple cider and water
So why should you take Molkosan?
A double blind, placebo-controlled study has shown the effectiveness of Molkosan on blood sugar levels and insulin levels in volunteers in good health, diabetics and pre-diabetics.
When taken before a meal rich in carbohydrates it effectively reduces glucose levels and increase sensitivity of cells to insulin. It is excellent for weight management, pre-diabetes, diabetes type II and hypoglycaemia.
Here are just some more of the benefits that you will see from using Molkosan Berry
- Balance the pH and help to establish a proper digestive environment
- Promote healthy intestinal flora
- Improve intestinal transit and reduce gas and bloating
- Activate and regulate the metabolism
- Aid weight loss by reducing toxins in the body and regulating blood sugar levels (stabilize insulin levels)
Want to know what is in the product?
"Molkosan® Berry is made from organic fresh milk. Fats, sugars and proteins are extracted by centrifugation and ultra-filtration, leaving the whey (lactoserum) behind. The whey is then fermented with Bioforce’s own registered bacteria: Lactobacillus casei. This process yields a liquid rich in L+ lactic acid (95%), in alkaline minerals and particularly in potassium. The product is lactose, sugar and gluten free"
I have a happy tummy
I'm pleased that I got to try this product for myself, and know that I now have another great product at a good price point to suggest to my clients with digestive issues.

I’m always constipated & irritating bowels
There are a lot of factors that contribute to this. Are you drinking enough water and eating enough fiber?
Does it have to be Molkosan Berry or just Molkosan. I have just bought a package of 3 Molkosan Original to help control my blood sugar. It was border line high before but after certain life style adjustments it’s back to normal after blood test. So hoping that Molkosan will keep it in check. Please let me know so that so swap it for Molkosan Berry asap. Many Thanks, Akua
Hi Akua, they are both the same so you will be fine. Let me know how it works for you
i need some guidelines on how to use molkosan
Molkosan can be taken in water 3 times a day, or you can add it to juice or herbal tea.
Indeed molkoson helps indigestion and bloating.I personally benefited a lot after suffering for too long. No mere sleepless nights, fatigue, anxiety and forgetfulness.
that’s great! Glad to hear it works!
Hi. My mum had an op about a year ago due to her intestines being twisted. She still experiences some constipation and just an overall feeling of being unwell. Will this product help her?
Molkosan can definitely help with any digestive issues. Please always check with your health care practitioner after an illness such as your mothers first though.
hi I have gastritis can molkosan help me I have a severe gas problem, I’m nt able to eat so many food
Molkosan can definitely help balance the pH of the stomach, which certainly helps with flatulance (gas)
Hi
I just want to say that my Dr. put me on a stomach medicine and it was making me feel worse. Nausea, +++ bloating and bad gas.
A friend of mine recommended the Molkosan and I cannot believe the difference. I have not taken my stomach med in 5 days. I am not as bloated. the gas is not as bad and no nausea. I was at the point of just not eating as eating made me sick as well.
I love this product and will continue to use it daily !!
I’m glad to hear that you had such great results! Thanks for sharing
so glad to hear that you found it beneficial!
Hi Gail my name is Margaret, I had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones a year ago. I am experiencing yellow liquid coming out of my mouth now and then and immediately have nausea and vomiting. Can I take Molkosan to help with this problem?
Hi Margaret. It sounds like you are getting a back up of bile (yellow liquid) I would check with your healthcare practitioner to ensure there is nothing else going on after the removal of your gall bladder before you use Molkosan.
Hi my 7years child he is often constipated so is it possible for a child to take it.
It can help with constipation, however, I would only use half of the adult dose for your child. As always, please check with your health care practitioner prior to starting anything new.
besides people from diabetes, who else can take molkosan?, what about people living with hiv?
Hi Simon, I would always check with your health care practitioner before taking any new supplement, especially if you are on any other medications.
hi I heard on radio that molkosan can also assist with bad breath & sinus- is this true?can I give it to my kids for throat irritation?
Molkosan is primarily for digestion, and that’s where it works for bad breath. With regards to throat irritation it is not specifically designed for that.
I had a bad breath for long time,use to go to my dentists every after six months, floss brush my teeth 3times a day but the was no different.I started to drink molkosan no bad breath anymore ,am confident now. ..thanks to A-volgen
So happy that you found it worked for you!
I need to know if it’s safe to use it in pregnancy
It is a natural product, however, it is always best to check with your health care practitioner prior to taking any new products, especially during pregnancy.
When/ can I take molkosan? Can I take it before/ after food?
It can be taken with or without food. Not a problem!

Yes, it’s something that will help your digestion all of the time!

I offer complimentary 30 minute health discovery sessions.

Hi Gail, I am sorry that you are going through so many health challenges. Molkosan is essentially a whey product that acts a prebiotic and probiotic to aid with digestion. I am not aware of any contraindications with medications, although as always, this is not a medical recommendation or diagnosis and I recommend that you check with your primary health care practitioner before taking this or any other natural health product
I certainly would love to give this product a try. I have serious digestion issues and my skin bares the brunt of this. I will look for the product.
Also my mom is diabetic. Can diabetics benefit from Molkosan.?
I look forward to your response.
Patricia
Thanks for your comment Patricia! The Molkosan Berry is an excellent product for maintaining blood sugar levels and insulin. It works specifically with pre-diabetes and type II diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels and stabilizing insulin levels.
