Modern diets and lifestyles are hard on the human body. At Essential Formulas, we’ve discovered nourishing, whole-health dietary supplements from Japan. Make these fermented probiotic supplements part of a healthier lifestyle that restores balance to your body.
Fermented Probiotics
It took renowned microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira over a decade of research to develop his fermented pre-, pro- and post-biotic blend. Dr. Ohhira’s research serves as the foundation for ongoing work to create new products for whole health.
Both of our award-winning probiotic supplements, Original Formula and Professional Formula, contain this proprietary blend which is derived from vegetable extracts, mushrooms, select herbs, fruits, and seaweeds, which are naturally fermented for three years, assuring superior digestive and immune support. Meticulously crafted in Japan, probiotics from Dr. Ohhira contain only natural ingredients and conform to strict scientific protocols.
Dr. Ohhira’s Essential Living Oils™ are extracted from eight natural plant and seed oils, providing a vegan alternative source of balanced Omega-3, -6, and -9 essential oils. Propolis PLUS® combines Brazilian green propolis, an immune-system supportive antioxidant produced by bees, plus the proven science of Dr. Ohhira’s fermented probiotic extract.
Daily Probiotics for Digestive Health
Human bodies naturally contain billions of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts in the gut, skin, mouth, and urogenital system in a balanced relationship that keeps us healthy. Scientists have named this system the human microbiome.
However, busy lifestyles that contain stress, exposure to pollution, antibiotics, and refined food diets, can disrupt the microbiome. When this happens, the microorganisms in the body can become unbalanced, and harmful bacteria can dominate. A quality daily probiotic supplement can bring the microbiome back into balance and restore optimum health.
Benefits of Fermented Probiotics for Daily Health
Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics are fermented for at least three years in large containers with pure water, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms and seaweed.
Prebiotics in a Fermented Probiotic
The fruits and vegetables added to the vats as food for the probiotic organisms are called prebiotics. Prebiotics are the fibrous food sources humans eat to promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics are critical for the success of the bacteria as they enter the human gut, giving the helpful bacteria an extra boost and supporting your body’s ability to grow the friendly bacteria.
As the 13 probiotic strains coexist for three years, they “learn” how to grow together. As you introduce them into your body, they have a greater chance to colonize and grow.
Postbiotics in Fermented Supplements
During the three-year culturing process, the probiotics, feeding on the prebiotics, create the elements our bodies need called postbiotics. These are the probiotics’ metabolites that confer rich benefits in our bodies.

Multiple Strains
Dr. Ohhira’s live culture probiotics contain 13 probiotic strains. Each probiotic strain confers a different set of helpful metabolites. Scientists have found that probiotic supplements with multiple active bacteria strains are most beneficial.
Studies have found that probiotics improve the entire body’s health, creating positive results for the gut, immune system, brain, mood, skin, and other body systems. *They suggest more research to identify which probiotics are best for which conditions.
