Probiotics Capsule Information
Each enteric-coated, soft capsule ensures the integrity and storage stability of the contents by preventing oxidation and degradation processes. The special capsule preserves the product from external microbiological contamination. Soft enteric capsule eliminates the need for artificial preservatives and additives, and protects the contents from the corrosive action of the stomach's acids.

Probiotics Suggested Use :

2 capsules daily or as directed by your health professional. (Children under age 6: 1 capsule daily.) For best results, take 1 capsule with water twice a day on an empty stomach. If benefits are desired in the stomach (e.g. Heartburn or an unsettling meal) the capsule may be chewed. Temporary reactions such as minor bloating or a mild laxative or constipating effect are signs that the beneficial bacteria are remodeling, detoxifying and improving the gut environment. (If such transition effects last more than 14 days, consult your health care professional). Warning: Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or nursing. Ask a health professional before use. Tamper evident: Do not use if foil blister pack is broken. Refrigeration not required at normal room temperatures. Avoid excessive exposure to moisture, extreme heat and direct sunlight.

More Info

Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira developed a series of products by completely natural, long-term fermentation method wishing your good health and long life

OHHIRA'S PROBIOTICS is a paste that is produced by a non-chemial fermentation method designed to bring health and long life to people around the world. Dr. Ohhira ferment carefully selected ingredients at various stages over a three year period and slowly mature them at natural temperatures. In addition to the efficacies of natural ingredients, OM-X contains various substances produced by lactic acid bacteria during the long-term fermentation process.
We believe this completely natural, long-term fermentation method makes OM-X a product gentle to your health

Probiotics
OM-X contains live LAB.
Consumption of live LAB improves the bacterial balance in your intestine. LAB and Bifidobacteria are friendly bacteria that are beneficial to your health.

LAB and Bifidobacteria are contained in LAB added foods and drinks,yogurt and fermented foods. Functions of LAB and Bifidobacteria are well known to many people.

Prebiotics
OM-X contains "dietary fibers" and "oligosaccharides."

Dietary fibers and oligosaccharides are a so called "feed" of friendly bacteria and help increase intestinal microorganisms (LAB and Bifidobacteria). Dietary fibers and oligosaccharides help increase friendly bacteria that originally reside in our intestines. Various kinds of sugars and proteins also function as a "feed" of LAB and Bifidobacteria.

Biogenics
OM-X contains byproducts of LAB and nutritional substances broken down by LAB fermentation.
Probiotics and Prebiotics mean that microorganisms break down and ferment nutrients in the intestine to produce useful substances for our health.
Biogenics means that we use various kinds of microorganisms to break down and ferment nutrients and functional substances that are beneficial to our health in order to produce useful substances. This process occurs outside the human body in places such as fermentation vats. These useful substances exhibit important functions in our bodies without being influenced by heat or acids.

Why are they good for our health?
What is good about the fermented foods is that the nutrients derived from ingredients are broken down by microorganisms,which makes it easier for us to digest and absorb nutritional substances in our body when consuming. For instance,it is easier to absorb protein when it is broken down to peptides and amino acids because molecular mass becomes smaller. Furthermore,fermented foods contain LAB,various organic acids produced by LAB,vitamins and minerals derived from ingredients,and enzymes. Enzymes in food are killed when the food is heated. Since fermented foods are not heated,they still contain enzymes. Daily consumption of the fermented foods leads to health maintenance.

FAQs

Q. Exactly what are Probiotics?

A. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria found naturally in the intestinal tract of healthy people. "Pro" means "for" and "biotic" means "life"; so probiotics are basically life-sustaining bacteria. Compare that to "anti-biotics", which are designed to kill bacteria. Probiotics are essential to life. They make some of our vitamins, help digest our food, balance hormones, detoxify, strengthen our immune system and keep the intestinal tract healthy.

Q. What makes Dr. Ohhira's different?

A. This product is unique in that the rich plant culture medium, the product of three years of natural temperature fermentation, is included to sustain the bacteria and help support the other native beneficial strains in your digestive tract. The product includes trace amounts of 10 vitamins, 8 minerals, 18 amino acids and 4 important organic acids designed to accomplish this.

Q. Are there billions of organisms in these products?

A. The science on that subject is rapidly changing. The quantity is not as important as the strength, appropriateness and viability of the supplemental bacteria. The blend and type of bacteria strains is unique to you. The new thinking, which Dr. Ohhira has maintained all along, is that the most important reason for a probiotic product is to remodel the environment of the intestinal tract to be more supportive of your native strains. That is exactly what Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 PLUS Original Formula does.*

Q. I have (name any disease). Will the product help?

A. Only your doctor can diagnose illnesses. We cannot claim any curative benefits. However, Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics 12 PLUS Original Formula helps the body become better nourished and less toxic, as well as reducing its load of bad yeasts and bacteria.* Science shows that a great many conditions improve when the gut is healthier.

Q. Are there side effects?

A. Beneficial bacteria are found naturally in your system. The only side effects, if any, might be from the elimination of bad things, such as yeasts. Those effects are generally temporary. If they're troublesome, you can reduce the dosage and restore natural balance more slowly.

Q. Can I take this with my medicine? Will my doctor say it is okay?

A. Because friendly bacteria are supposed to be in the intestinal system, the bigger worry is lack rather than abundance. They do not interact with medicines. A doctor of integrative medicine, alternative medicine or a naturopath will usually encourage probiotic supplementation.

Q. I have allergies. Could I be allergic to the capsule contents?

A. The product has no milk, wheat, yeast or soy. The plant materials used in the culture medium have been fermented into an altered state that is well tolerated. Actually, many people find their allergies improve on the product. Sensitivities to Dr. Ohhira's product are extremely rare, but anything's possible.

Q. When can I expect results?

A. It depends on your body-everyone is different. Most customers report they can tell a difference in the way they feel within two to three weeks. If they have diarrhea they sometimes see improvement in a couple of days.

Q. Why doesn't it need refrigeration?

A. The lactic acid bacteria were fermented for 3 years at normal temperatures that included seasonal variation, and can remain alive and active at normal temperatures for at least 3 years. The enteric vegan soft capsules are blister packed to further protect the product.
