Lactobacillus Gasseri (L. Gasseri), AKA “The SUPER MICROBE” is one of the most important gastrointestinal (GI) microbes in the human intestinal microbiome. likely a “keystone” species that is important for the proliferation and metabolism of numerous other microbes*. Our L. Gasseri Superfood Starter was conceived as a method of introducing high quantities of this beneficial microbe into your microbiome. L. Gasseri Superfood may look, taste, and smell like yogurt, but it is not a yogurt. It is cultured dairy, made with completely different strains of bacteria = Lactobacillus Gasseri. The fermentation process is different from that of conventional yogurts: It is fermented for 36 hours at a lower temperature and requires the addition of prebiotic fiber to the milk.method enables the L. Gasseri to proliferate exponentially many times over, until there are hundreds of billions of live bacteria in the jar. The resulting concentrations of L. Gasseri are much higher than can be obtained from supplements, store-bought yogurts or even homemade ones*. The result is a rich, thick, delicious, pleasantly-tart, and super-healthy dairy product, far superior to regular yogurts which are fermented quickly, and typically contain much lower counts of probiotic bacteria*. And there's a bonus, too! Once you've made a batch of L. Gasseri Superfoood using our L. Gasseri Superfood starter, you can use some of it to culture your next batch! This is called 'reculturing', and can be repeated several times over. Restoring your gastrointestinal tract is among the most powerful strategies you can apply for health, both physical and emotional*.
