Product Description
Recent discoveries about the human microbiome have opened new ways to resolve health issues that have never previously been imagined. The microbiome includes all the trillions of bacteria that live in our intestines. Studies have found that these beneficial bacteria can affect our digestion, nutrient absorption, mood, immune system, and other factors. Adverse changes in our microbiome can cause health issues. Diet, medications, environmental factors and aging all affect our microbiome.
Using this new knowledge about the microbiome can help us improve digestion issues, strengthen the immune system and improve our general health. A properly balanced microbiome is the way to harness this extraordinary power, meaning around 85% good bacteria to 15% bad. Good probiotic supplements have been shown to have an important role in creating and maintaining that balance. Choosing the right probiotic supplement is the key to improving and repairing your microbiome.
With all the probiotic products available, how do you choose the right probiotic supplement? Many of these probiotics are new, cultured in a laboratory to take advantage of their current popularity. The effectiveness of these new probiotics is often unproven. You should choose a probiotic which has been carefully crafted for 3 years; tested multiple times and benefits your microbiome and supports digestive health in three ways.
A properly balanced microbiome can help prevent, cure or improve a wide variety of health conditions. An improved diet, environmental factors and a good probiotic supplement can help create this balance. High-fiber foods which feed your intestinal bacteria and a variety of probiotic bacteria help improve the conditions in your intestines for your own microflora. Healthy probiotic bacteria produce chemical compounds, which we call postbiotic metabolites, that contribute to a good intestinal environment. Only Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics provides all three of these beneficial components.
Dr. Ohhira’s Original Probiotics provide live and viable bacteria – NEVER freeze-dried, which have been strengthened through a unique three-year Japanese fermentation process which assures enhanced potency – The three-year fermentation process assures that the strongest bacteria survive. Most probiotics just contain probiotic bacteria in a capsule. Those bacteria haven’t done any work yet. They are like a starter culture. Dr. Ohhira’s probiotic bacteria have been working for three years in Dr. Ohhira’s fermentation production process to produce a multitude of postbiotic metabolites.
This rich culture medium of the fermentation process contains PREBIOTICS,the non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth and/or activity of bacteria in the digestive system which are beneficial to your health. The PREBIOTICS from the fermentation process are then encapsulated along with the live PROBIOTICS that have grown together over the three-year period and the resulting nutrients from this fermentation process, POSTBIOTICS, thus delivering these three beneficial components and encouraging your body’s innate ability to grow its own friendly bacteria.

Much more than a probiotic.
• Promotes healthy digestion and immune response*
• Provides rapid relief of occasional heartburn, bloating, and gas*
• Maintains healthy intestinal pH*
• Enhances absorption of nutrients from food and other supplements*
Ancient Japanese fermentation skills merge with modern science to create a powerful formula that alters the gastrointestinal environment to benefit all strains of healthful bacteria. Created by award-winning microbiologist Iichiroh Ohhira, Ph.D., and a team of distinguished research scientists from Okayama University in Japan, Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotic products are backed by scientific studies and guaranteed to cohere in the digestive tract* and encourage your body’s innate ability to grow its own friendly bacteria.
A complete probiotic system, Dr. Ohhira’s Original Formula is not cultured or grown in a laboratory, as are most other probiotic products. Natural crops and pure water are fermented* for three years with 12 distinctive probiotic strains, including TH10, a proprietary strain discovered by Dr. Ohhira, and which is six times more effective at breaking down proteins and making nutrients available than other strains known to bacteriologists.*
This rich culture medium of nutritious mushrooms, vegetables, fruits, and seaweed (PRE-BIOTICS), is encapsulated in a specially designed vegetarian capsule along with the beneficial lactic acid bacteria (PRO-BIOTICS) that have grown together over the three years, and the resulting nutrients from this fermentation process (POST-BIOTICS).
A pioneer in probiotic health and research, Dr. Ohhira proved what science now confirms, that the most vital and health-promoting aspect of probiotic supplementation is the restorative Postbiotic Metabolites; the beneficial micronutrients, including needed vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.* Naturally occurring organic acids also promote a healthy digestive pH and encourage the growth of each individual’s unique flora.*
It takes guts…to stay healthy.
Each dose of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics contains probiotic bacteria, prebiotics foods and most importantly, a multitude of postbiotic metabolites; this is The Dr. Ohhira’s Difference. At Essential Formulas, we say that Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics accomplish ‘Rapid Microbiome Restoration’ or ‘Rapid Microbiome Repair’ and why individuals with dysbiosis get fast results with Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics. Each dose of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics delivers a wide range of postbiotic metabolites that accelerate healing in the microbiome ecosystem (no other product can compare.)
Product needs no refrigeration! – Fermentation at seasonal temperatures results in capsules that have a three-year shelf-life at room temperature.
Well-tolerated by the most sensitive digestive systems – Fermentation alters the culture medium ingredients (nutritious vegetable, fruits, mushrooms, seaweed) into a completely different form. Only plant material used in culture medium; no dairy. *

Introducing Postbiotic Metabolites
Postbiotics or postbiotic metabolites are the compounds created by probiotic bacteria to protect and renew our bodies. Our native, natural intestinal bacteria are crucial in producing thousands of these compounds that then control many of our body’s vital functions, including the immune system and brain.
Beneficial bacteria generate these restorative compounds as they digest dietary fibers, and distinctive strains of bacteria require specific types of fibers to produce the most diverse and therapeutic range of postbiotic metabolites. This diversity of probiotic bacteria equates to an improved microbiome and better health for the individual.
Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is produced in an exclusive multi-year fermentation in which fiber-rich, organically grown foods are combined with 12 select strains of probiotic bacteria. Each dose of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics contains over 500 restorative postbiotic metabolites, which when ingested, immediately go to work improving your health and digestion.
Reestablish Your Microbiome
Included in the restorative postbiotic metabolites, beneficial compounds created by probiotics that protect and renew the body, are Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) which help create a favorable environment that supports the growth of probiotic bacteria by making the GI tract slightly more acidic, an environment optimal for probiotics and unfavorable for the growth of pathogens. The correct intestinal environment reestablishes an optimal microbial balance (roughly 80-90% good bacteria). Introducing probiotic bacteria also contributes to an improved microbiome.
Contains Proprietary TH 10
Dr. Ohhira developed a new proprietary lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain that is six times stronger than other strains known to bacteriologists. The proteolytic power of the TH-10 strain is what makes it stronger. Proteolytic power is the ability to digest protein. Enterococcus faecalis TH10 digests protein better than other LAB strains and has also been found to produce compounds that help in multiple ways to promote a balanced microbiome and healthy gastrointestinal function.
What are CFUs and Why Billions Aren’t Better
Regarding probiotics, quality is more important than quantity. Billions of bacteria do not define a good probiotic. When you ingest a probiotic, they are not your own bacteria, you are ingesting bacteria that hopefully will produce compounds (biogenics) that support the growth and proliferation of your innate bacteria. Dr. Ohhira believes that the biogenic compounds the bacteria have produced over 3 years of fermentation are more important than the number of actual bacteria in the final product.
The Fermentation Process
Dr. Ohhira’s fermentation process mimics the fermentation processes that take place in the human digestive tract. This unique multi-year fermentation production process enables the probiotic bacteria to digest the prebiotic foods they are supplied with, which results in the production of a wide range of Postbiotic metabolites. Recent research conducted in Japan reported that Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics contains over 430 different Postbiotic metabolites. This is The Dr. Ohhira’s Difference.
