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.

Product Description

A repaired microbiome

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. 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.
