- HIGHEST QUALITY PLANT-BASED PROBIOTICS that are naturally fermented for three years with all-natural ingredients and 12 different strains of friendly bacteria. 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 3 years is strong and effective probiotics and metabolites, what we call postbiotic metabolites.
- THE DR. OHHIRA’S ORIGINAL 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 three 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 colo
- 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 3 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.
- DR. OHHIRA’S PROBIOTICS are backed by over 20 scientific studies and recommended by digestive health and immune system health care providers. Does not include artificial additives, chemicals, preservatives, coloring, flavoring, animal by-products, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Non-GMO and 100% vegetarian. Hypoallergenic (no dairy or gluten). Guaranteed free of soil-based organisms (SBOs). Make Dr. Ohhira’s your choice for probiotic supplements.

Our story
How we got our start
Essential Formulas’ founder Michael Schoor experienced first-hand the superior benefits of Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics while traveling in Malaysia. That experience resulted in a meeting with microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira and a subsequent agreement to distribute the Dr. Ohhira products in the U.S.
What makes our product unique
Combining pure water, seasonally harvested vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and seaweed plus 12 different strains of live probiotics. These prebiotics and probiotics go through a three-year fermentation process creating health-promoting postbiotics: organic acids, vitamins, fatty acids and biogenics.
Why we love what we do
EFI is proud to have built a company based on products supported by impeccable science, loyal customers, and respected practitioners and to its contribution to the evolution of the probiotic health industry. We focus on offering products with the same level of superiority as Dr. Ohhira’s probiotics.

Naturally fermented, plant-based probiotics |
Postbiotic MetabolitesPostbiotic 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 ProbioticsMost 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:
|
Repair your MicrobiomeThe 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 bacteriaContains 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 TH10Provides 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 BetterRegarding 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 travelingAround 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. Probiotics provide a myriad of benefits to the body while replenishing the friendly bacteria in the digestive tract. Important to the traveler, they enhance immune function, improve digestion, reduce instances of traveler’s diarrhea and inhibit food poisoning. And what makes Ohhira’s Probiotics perfect for traveling is that they are in blister packs and never need to be refrigerated so you can throw them in your suitcase, purse or even a shirt pocket and go. |
