It Takes Guts® refers to the fact that a healthy intestinal tract is essential for good health. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics provide your entire family with a proactive and preventative pro-health strategy. These little pills pack a powerful punch that positively affects every aspect of your health…and it all begins in the GUT!
Many companies market probiotic supplements. However, new scientific information reveals that the health benefits from probiotics are not due the bacteria themselves, but rather from compounds the bacteria create, which are called postbiotic metabolites. This new information is being referred to as The New Frontier in Microbiome Science. Also, it is becoming increasingly clear that taking orally ingested probiotics alone are seldom effective. One reason for this failure is the fact that stomach acid is from 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger acid than the acidity in the small intestine and colon. Stomach acid is a critical part of our immune system; one of its primary functions is to kill bacteria and other harmful invaders. Hence, stomach acid destroys orally ingested probiotic bacteria.
Some studies have reported significant health benefits from directly ingesting postbiotic metabolites. This explains why Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is such a remarkably effective product. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is made in a multi-year fermentation process that results in a final product that contains over 500 postbiotic metabolites in each dose.
Discover how Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics can help keep you and your family healthy. The postbiotic metabolites in Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics help improve immune function, increase bone density, support healthy skin, reduce allergy symptoms, decrease fatigue and increase energy, strength, stamina and endurance. Improve your health by taking with Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics with over 500 postbiotic metabolites.
What Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics Can Do for You!
Creating and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is critical for good health. The gut microbiome refers to the population of bacteria that reside in the gastrointestinal tract. Over 70% of the body’s immune cells reside in the GI tract. Both your immune response and your daily energy levels are closely tied to the population of probiotic bacteria that reside in your intestinal tract. When you take the time to cultivate your inner micro-ecology, those friendly bacteria, in turn, take care of you.
The number of bacterial cells in and on your body is far greater than the number human cells in the body. Hence, you aren’t just an individual, you are an ecosystem, and your probiotic bacteria are an important part of who you are.
It is estimated that the human gut microbiome consists of approximately 100 trillion bacteria and 99% of the bacteria in the intestinal tract reside in the colon. Hence, when we talk about the microbiome, we are primarily focusing on the bacterial population in the colon. A healthy gut microbiome is estimated to contain 85-90% good bacteria (your probiotic bacteria) and only 10-15% potentially bad bacteria. Bad bacteria generally don’t cause problems when they only exist in small numbers. When their numbers increase, the resulting microbial imbalance, which is referred to as dysbiosis, can result in a wide range of health problems.
Your microbiome ecosystem is one of the most critical regulators of your health. About 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates is credited with saying, “All disease begins in the gut.” Actually, that statement requires a little editing to read, “All chronic disease begins in the gut.” It is important to different between acute and chronic conditions.
Acute diseases usually have a rapid onset and a limited duration. Examples of acute conditions include appendicitis, an asthma attack, a broken bone, burns, tetanus or a heart attack. On the other hand, chronic diseases develop slowly over a long period of time. Acute conditions or diseases are not generally linked to a bad gut. However, there are studies linking virtually all on-going, age-related conditions with intestinal bacterial imbalance or dysbiosis.
Here is the mechanism for the bad gut-persistent conditions link. When bad bacteria proliferate, substances they secrete break down the tight junctions in the lining of the intestinal tract. This allows harmful substances to leak into systemic circulation, which causes damage to cells, tissues and organs over time. Scientists now call this process inflammaging.
Dr. Ohhira’s Fermentation Production Process: The power and effectiveness of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is primarily due to the postbiotic metabolites that are created in the multi-year fermentation production process. A diversity of plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables, mushrooms & seaweeds) are added to 80-gallon fermentation vats along with 13 strains of starter bacteria. Over a period of several years, the bacteria break down components in the foods, which results in the production of a wide range of postbiotic metabolites. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics contain relatively small amounts of probiotic bacteria and some of the prebiotic foods from the fermentation process. However, the vast majority of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics consists of over 500 postbiotic metabolites that are produced during the fermentation process. This is The Dr. Ohhira’s Advantage…!
Direct ingestion of the postbiotic metabolites in Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics® is the best and fastest way to make beneficial improvements in the gut microbiome ecosystem. Taking Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics regularly is an important pro-active step people can take to create and maintain a healthy gut microbiome and a strong immune system.
It Takes Guts®… to stay healthy!
