      • Dr. Ohhira’s Premium Collagen PlusCollagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Not only is it a major component of muscles, tissues, bones, tendons, and blood vessels, but it is also responsible for keeping our skin smooth and firm. Though the body produces collagen naturally, production slows down as we age. And other factors, including environmental elements, stress, smoking, and high-sugar diets can accelerate the degradation of collagen and elastin in the skin. The end result is skin that’s lax, thin, and dry. As the largest single organ in the body, we rely on our skin to help us retain moisture. It serves as a barrier against environmental toxins, illness-causing microbes, and other threats, as well. Skin health is vital to our well-being, and providing it with ample “building blocks” to repair itself and produce new collagen fibers is one of the best ways to keep it in fighting shape!

      • Reg´Activ Immune & Vitality™Reg´Activ IMMUNE & VITALITY* contains the revolutionary probiotic strain Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3. Studied for over 20 years, ME-3 produces glutathione—well known for its antioxidant, detoxification, and immune system-supporting activities.*
      • Reg’Activ Essential ME-3The best way to keep the body functioning at its optimal health level is to ensure a consistent sleep and exercise schedule and follow a healthy diet. Over time, however, the presence of these three key items is not enough. While they provide an excellent foundation for health, our bodies begin to naturally slow down the production of essential molecules and amino acids that aid in the detoxification process. Glutathione is an antioxidant present in every cell in the human body and is generally regarded as the ‘mother of all antioxidants’ or the ‘Master Antioxidant’ because of its ability to prevent and delay cell damage and help detoxify chemicals in the liver.* Unfortunately, just when adequate glutathione levels are needed the most, aging and other lifestyle factors adversely affect the natural production of glutathione in the body.

The Microbiome Diet
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics: The BEST Microbiome Supplement

By Ross Pelton, RPh, PhD, CCN
Scientific Director, Essential Formulas


How we evaluate the health benefits of the foods we consume is undergoing a significant paradigm shift. Previously, the quality of foods was based mainly on protein, fats, and carbohydrate levels and whether the foods provide adequate amounts of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and essential fats and amino acids. These are the nutrients we need to sustain the biochemical activity in the cells throughout our body.

Essential Microbiome Nutrients: Over the past several decades, scientists have discovered that the gut microbiome plays a critical role in regulating many aspects of health, especially our immune system. An estimated 100 trillion bacteria control the biochemical activity in the gut microbiome. There are two categories of essential nutrients that probiotic bacteria require, which are dietary fibers and polyphenols.

Microbiome Nutritional Deficiencies: Numerous studies have reported that 90-95% of American children and adults DO NOT consume adequate dietary fiber and polyphenols. Consequently, the probiotic bacteria in most people are not receiving enough of the nutrients they require to thrive and survive. These microbiome nutritional deficiencies cause microbial/bacterial imbalance, resulting in intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis. This, in turn, results in the development of intestinal permeability or leaky gut, which is associated with virtually all chronic age-related diseases.

The Microbiome Diet is a diet that contains a wide diversity of plant-based foods. This will provide a variety of dietary fibers and polyphenols, which promotes the growth and proliferation of an assortment of probiotic bacteria, thus enabling the probiotic bacteria to produce a diversity of postbiotic metabolites. A plant-based diet emphasizing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables is the only way to create and maintain a healthy microbiome.

Postbiotic metabolites regulate the gastrointestinal/microbiome ecosystem. Some of the best-known postbiotic metabolites are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), antimicrobial peptides, and hydrogen peroxide, which suppresses the growth of candida and other yeasts.

When the intestinal microbiome is out of balance, called dysbiosis, people experience symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation, pain, and inflammation. When people consume a diet with a diversity of plant-based foods, their probiotic bacteria produce postbiotic metabolites that have anti-inflammatory activity, suppress or kill harmful bacteria, aid in detoxification, and enhance the immune system.

Microbiome Supplements: Postbiotic metabolites are increasingly recognized as the new frontier in microbiome science. Ingesting postbiotic metabolites orally can reduce dysbiosis-related intestinal symptoms and help to reestablish a healthy microbiome. Consequently, an increasing number of companies are including one or several postbiotics in their product formulation, which enables them to use the word ‘Postbiotic’ on their label. This approach ignores the importance of the diversity of postbiotic metabolites produced by the probiotic bacteria in a healthy microbiome.

Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics: The BEST Microbiome Supplement: Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is produced in a multi-year fermentation process that creates over 500 postbiotic metabolites. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is the #1 product in the world for the oral delivery of postbiotics. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is a complete microbiome product containing probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotic metabolites. This explains why Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics have developed a worldwide reputation for providing fast relief from intestinal problems.

Your gut microbiome and your immune system are both critical for good health. Taking Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics regularly and consuming a diverse range of plant-based foods is the best insurance for the creation and/or maintenance of a healthy microbiome. That’s the Dr. Ohhira’s Advantage.
