• HIGHEST QUALITY PLANT-BASED PROBIOTICS that are naturally fermented for three years with all-natural ingredients and 12 different strains of friendly bacteria. Not grown in a lab with a single culture medium, Dr. Ohhira’s process simulates the environment in the human gut. Natural fruits and vegetables are added seasonally to feed the bacteria which the bacteria process and the result at the end of 3 years is strong and effective probiotics and metabolites, what we call postbiotic metabolites.
• THE DR. OHHIRA’S ORIGINAL PROBIOTIC CAPSULE contains prebiotics (the fruits and vegetables) with strong and effective probiotic bacteria (12 strains) and postbiotic metabolites that the probiotic bacteria have been producing during three years of fermentation, including vitamins, amino acids, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), immune system-enhancing compounds, detoxifying agents and many other beneficial substances which support digestive function, whole health and improve the pH of your colo
• THE CAPSULE IS ACID RESISTANT to ensure that the contents are delivered to the small intestine and colon. It is also breathable and lets oxygen in, which together with the prebiotics allows the live active probiotic bacteria to stay alive for years at room temperatures, ready to go to work in your gut. This is an expensive way to create a probiotic supplement and also the best way. A supplement carefully crafted over 3 years to benefit your digestive system. Expensive but worth it.
• THE UNIQUE COMBINATION of prebiotics, probiotics and post-biotic metabolites helps in microbiome repair and maintenance. The prebiotics feed your own unique bacteria. The live, active probiotics immediately start producing the benefits of healthy bacteria. The postbiotics go to work adjusting the acid/base level towards a more optimal slightly acidic pH, reducing inflammation, accelerating the growth of healthy new cells in the lining of the GI tract, providing rapid microbiome restoration.
• DR. OHHIRA’S PROBIOTICS are backed by over 20 scientific studies and recommended by digestive health and immune system health care providers. Does not include artificial additives, chemicals, preservatives, coloring, flavoring, animal by-products, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Non-GMO and 100% vegetarian. Hypoallergenic (no dairy or gluten). Guaranteed free of soil-based organisms (SBOs). Make Dr. Ohhira’s your choice for probiotic supplements.

With all the probiotic products available, how do you decide which is the best? Many probiotics are new, mixed together in a laboratory to take advantage of the current popularity of probiotics. Their effectiveness is unproven. You deserve a supplement that contains Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotic metabolites and which has been crafted for 3 years; tested and proven effective to benefit your microbiome and support digestive health. Some of the best food and drink in life are fermented; like wine, beer, cheese, and sourdough bread. Why? Fermentation enhances the product with the results of the fermentation, whether it be flavor, alcohol or concentrated nutrients. Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic is fermented for 3 years. During the process the probiotic bacteria are strengthened and the result of the fermentation, post-biotic metabolites like organic acids, short-chain fatty acids and trace minerals, are produced and increase in concentration. Every fermentation vat is carefully inspected monthly to confirm the number of bacteria, the viscosity, the purity, the amount of water and other factors are maintained in an appropriate state. The result of this careful crafting is a supplement like no other. Laboratory produced probiotics can't compare. Backed by over 30 years of research and international studies, the unique combination of Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics contained in Dr. Ohhira's shows maximum support for intestinal health and immune response. Organic acids naturally produced by the bacteria help maintain a healthy digestive pH, which benefits hundreds of other beneficial strains in your digestive system -- many strains are unique to the individual. The key benefit that probiotics provide comes from the postbiotic metabolites they produce -- Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics provides such nutrients as short-chain fatty acids and other organic acids (such as acetic, citric, fulvic, humic, and phenyllactic acids), oligosaccharides, polyphenols, melanoidin (anti-oxidant), and trace amounts of chelated minerals, vitamins and amino acids. This is in addition to the Prebiotics (the non-digestible food ingredients) and the Probiotics. All of these ingredients which are unique to Dr. Ohhira’s contribute to what should be one of the main purposes of a probiotic, microbiome repair or improvement.
