“While the science behind Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics is impeccable and the formula that encourages the growth of a person’s own unique flora extremely innovative, the real proof is in the astounding and consistent results it provides.”

Essential Formulas Incorporated’s President and CEO, Michael Schoor, found out about the probiotics extraordinary benefits after acquiring food poisoning while in Malaysia and became determined to discover the secret behind his outstanding recovery. His search brought him to Japan where he met with the products founder, Iichiroh Ohhira, Ph.D., one of Japan’s leading microbiologists. He learned that over 20 years of university-based, scientific research studies had proven the product, including its proprietary TH10 strain, to be strong, safe and effective in dealing with digestive distress. Essential Formulas was established in 2000 as the exclusive distributor of Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic products in the United States.
