What Makes It Different?

Most probiotics are isolated strains grown in sterile labs. Ours? A living ecosystem. Over three years, 13 probiotic strains—including the powerful TH10 strain—coexist and evolve in a natural fermentation process that enhances their potency and synergy. This method produces not just beneficial bacteria, but the organic acids, enzymes, and micronutrients (postbiotics) your body needs to thrive.

Benefits You Can Feel

Science Meets Tradition

Developed in collaboration with researchers at Okayama University, our formula is the result of decades of probiotic research and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics are trusted worldwide for their ability to support even the most sensitive stomachs—without refrigeration, synthetic additives, or added sugars.

Unlike yogurt or lab-grown capsules, our product delivers a complete probiotic system:

  • Prebiotics from fermented whole foods
  • Probiotics from 13 diverse strains
  • Postbiotics—the restorative metabolites that promote long-term health*

The TH10 Advantage

Discovered by Dr. Ohhira himself, TH10 is a proprietary strain known for its ability to break down proteins and release amino acids more efficiently than common strains like acidophilus.* It’s one of the reasons our formula stands apart in both potency and performance.

Encapsulated Integrity

Each vegetarian capsule contains the full spectrum of fermented ingredients—nutritious vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and seaweed—alongside the beneficial bacteria and postbiotic compounds created during the three-year fermentation. We maintain the highest standards from start to finish, ensuring every capsule delivers consistent quality and results.
