• Recent discoveries about the human microbiome have opened new ways 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 knowledge 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.*
• 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, a variety of probiotic bacteria help improve the conditions in your intestines for your own microflora. Healthy probiotic bacteria produce chemical compounds, postbiotic metabolites, that contribute to good intestinal environment. Only Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics provides all three

Prebiotics

Prebiotics work together with probiotics to allow specific changes to take place, both in the composition and activity of the gastrointestinal system. They play a fundamental role in maintaining balance and diversity of intestinal bacteria. (Think of these as ‘food’ for the probiotics.)

Gut Lining Support and Digestive Enzymes

4 Ingredients designed to help support the integrity of the Gut Lining.

The role of digestive enzymes is primarily to boost nutrient absorption and aid digestion. These enzymes support the digestion of proteins, fats, and complex carbohydrates found in today’s processed foods.

Brain Function Support

Approximately 60% of the brain is fat. Low levels of Phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the body impact the brain and heart, affecting memory, mental alertness, behavior, and focus.

Most probiotics only contain bacteria, but don’t address inflammation levels or the integrity of the Gut Lining ... supplement companies claim the ingredients are too expensive.

Phosphatidyl Choline

A potent ingredient that supports brain function, memory, cellular growth, executive function and cognitive development. It is often referred to as a “Brain Booster”. If the body is deficient in this, and you provide the body what it needs you may see some pretty impressive gains.

Lipase

Lipase assists the body in processing and absorbing fats properly. It has been shown to support gut function by reducing bloating, indigestion and gas.

Protease

Extremely important for digestion and nutrient absorption. Protease helps our body digest and breakdown toxins so our immune system avoids toxin overload.

Chicory Root

Chicory Chicory Root is the prebiotic fiber that fuels good gut bacteria. It is the “food" that helps the good bacteria in the gut thrive, and is a key ingredient in maintaining a positive microbiome.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C A powerful antioxidant that is one of the most important nutrients you can take to neutralize the harmful effects toxins have on gut flora. Vitamin C interacts with toxins to render them harmless, assists in repairing damaged cells, and helps to ease inflammation in the body. Vitamin C allows the gut to restore the balance of friendly bacteria, so that bacteria can do the important work of supporting immune health.

Zinc

Zinc A key ingredient shown to help resolve permeability alterations in the gut (i.e. leaky gut).

Vitamin A

Vitamin A Vitamin A is the key to the gut making the right decisions for our bodies. When you are deficient in vitamin A you are more susceptible to inflammation. Vitamin A has been shown to promote changes in the gut microbiome and strengthen the immune system.

Not grown in a lab with a single culture medium, Dr. Ohhira’s process simulates the environment in the human gut. Natural fruits and vegetables are added seasonally to feed the bacteria which the bacteria process and the result at the end of 5 years is strong and effective probiotics and metabolites, what we call postbiotic metabolites.
• DR. OHHIRA’S PROFESSIONAL PROBIOTIC CAPSULE contains prebiotics (the fruits and vegetables) with strong and effective probiotic bacteria (12 strains) and postbiotic metabolites that the probiotic bacteria have been producing during five years of fermentation, including vitamins, amino acids, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), immune system-enhancing compounds, detoxifying agents and many other beneficial substances which support digestive function, whole health and improve the pH of your colon.
• THE CAPSULE IS ACID RESISTANT to ensure that the contents are delivered to the small intestine and colon. It is also breathable and lets oxygen in, which together with the prebiotics allows the live active probiotic bacteria to stay alive for years at room temperatures, ready to go to work in your gut. This is an expensive way to create a probiotic supplement and also the best way. A supplement carefully crafted over 5 years to benefit your digestive system. Expensive but worth it.
• THE UNIQUE COMBINATION of prebiotics, probiotics and post-biotic metabolites helps in microbiome repair and maintenance. The prebiotics feed your own unique bacteria. The live, active probiotics immediately start producing the benefits of healthy bacteria. The postbiotics go to work adjusting the acid/base level towards a more optimal slightly acidic pH, reducing inflammation, accelerating the growth of healthy new cells in the lining of the GI tract, providing rapid microbiome restoration.

Introducing Postbiotic Metabolites

In a healthy microbiome, probiotic bacteria are constantly producing compounds we refer to as postbiotic metabolites. Dr. Ohhira’s multi-year fermentation process simulates the processes that occur in the human GI tract. Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics deliver beneficial bacteria, healthy prebiotic foods and postbiotic metabolites.



The reason probiotic bacteria are important is totally related to the metabolites they produce and how those metabolites influence and regulate a wide range of biological functions in your body. The substantial “dose”, included in the capsule, of all the post-biotic metabolites that the probiotic bacteria have been producing during three years of fermentation include vitamins, amino acids, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), immune system-enhancing compounds, detoxifying agents, cell signaling compounds, and probably many other beneficial substances that have not yet been discovered.*

Reestablish Your Microbiome

In certain instances the acid/base balance in the GI tract becomes too alkaline. This promotes/supports growth of pathogens and is unfavorable to the growth of probiotics. Introduction of postbiotic metabolites called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) helps shift the GI acid/base in a slightly more acidic direction which is optimal for probiotics and unfavorable for the growth of pathogens.

Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics helps reestabiish an optimal microbial balance (roughly 80-90% good bacteria). Two factors promote this rebalancing: a) introducing SCFAs, that are part of the postbiotic metabolites included in the capsule, which create a favorable environment that supports the growth of probiotic bacteria and, b) introducing probiotic bacteria to help reestablish microbial balance.*

 

Contains Proprietary TH 10

Dr. Ohhira developed his own proprietary lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain that is six times stronger than any other strains known to bacteriologists today. The proteolytic power of the TH-10 strain is what distinguishes it from other LAB. Proteolytic power is the ability of LAB to digest protein during the fermentation process. The greater its ability to digest protein, the greater the power of the LAB. Enterococcus faecalis TH10 has been found to produce compounds that help in multiple ways to promote a balanced microbiome and healthy gastrointestinal function. 3-phenyllactic acid, an antibacterial substance produced by TH10, inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. *

What are CFUs?

What are CFUs and why ‘Billions Aren’t Better’ When it comes to probiotics, quality is more important than quantity. Just because a probiotic product contains 20, 30 or 50 billion bacteria does not mean it is a good probiotic. When you ingest a probiotic, you are not ingesting your own bacteria, you are ingesting bacteria that (hopefully) will produce compounds (biogenics) that support the growth and proliferation of your innate bacteria. But, balance is important; too many can be too much. Remember, Dr. Ohhira believes that the biogenics (all of the compounds the bacteria have produced over 5 years of fermentation) is more important than the number of actual bacteria in the final product. No other probiotic in the world provides a high dose of the biogenic nutrients and other immune system-enhancing compounds like that which is in each capsule of Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics.*



 

The Fermentation Process

Dr. Ohhira’s fermentation process mimics the fermentation processes that take place in the human digestive tract. The process begins by utilizing twelve unique strains of probiotic bacteria. Then, at seasonally appropriate times throughout the year, various kinds of organically grown plant crops are added to the fermentation vats as the nutritious prebiotic food supply for the probiotic bacteria.

Non-digestible plant carbohydrates (fibers) are the preferred food for your probiotic bacteria. A wider range of different types of fibers supports the growth and proliferation of a wider range of probiotic bacteria. This promotes probiotic diversity. *

Naturally fermented, plant-based probiotics

Ancient Japanese fermentation skills and modern science are merged to create a powerful probiotic that alters the gastrointestinal environment to benefit all of your strains of healthful bacteria. Natural crops and pure water are fermented for three years with 12 distinctive probiotic strains. Fruits and vegetables are added seasonally to feed the bacteria which process this prebiotic material resulting, at the end of 3 years, in strong and effective probiotic bacteria and what are called POSTBIOTIC METABOLITES

Postbiotic Metabolites

Postbiotic Metabolites, unique to Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic supplement, are micronutrients that the probiotic bacteria have been producing during three years of fermentation, including vitamins, amino acids, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which are tremendously beneficial molecules containing immune system-enhancing compounds, detoxifying agents and many other helpful substances for your digestive health.

The Power of Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics

Most people now understand the importance of probiotics and the role they play in keeping us well. Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics can help keep us healthy by:

• Maintaining an appropriate digestive pH
• Helping us digest food and absorb nutrients
• Relieve the occasional affects of heartburn
• Producing many of our vitamins and amino acids
• Supporting the immune response
• Balancing moods and hormones
• Playing an integral role in the "brain-gut" connection
• Detoxifying the body
• Supporting regularity

Repair your Microbiome

The unique combination of prebiotics, probiotics and post-biotic metabolites in Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics helps to repair your microbiome. The ideal ratio of good to harmful bacteria is 85 percent to 15 percent, respectively. The regular use of a high-quality probiotic supplement will help maintain this ratio. A genuinely effective probiotic supplement will consist of prebiotic support to nourish all the friendly bacteria, including each person’s distinctive strains, as well as postbiotics, the resulting nutrients from the fermentation process. The ultimate goal is to enhance the body’s ability to nourish and support its unique strains of beneficial bacteria.

Live, active Probiotics bacteria

Contains live, active probiotics. Since the multi-year fermentation process is done at room temperatures, Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic products do not require refrigeration or the special handling that many other highly sensitive products require.

Contains Proprietary TH10

Provides twelve strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), including the proprietary strain of TH10, which is six times stronger than any other known strain of LAB. 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.

Great for use while traveling

Around 10 million people a year experience digestive distress while on vacation that can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, bloating and fever. 80 percent of gastrointestinal illnesses are caused by a bacterial infection and can often be avoided with proper supplements.
