Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics

Happy National Word Nerd Day! Today’s term: The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB).

You might not think about it often, but the BBB is one of your body's most important security systems.

What is it? The Blood-Brain Barrier is a specialized system of cells that acts as a gatekeeper. It protects your brain from harmful substances in the bloodstream while letting essential nutrients pass through.

The Gut-Brain Connection: Did you know your gut health plays a role here? Research suggests that a healthy microbiome helps support the integrity of the BBB.

Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics help by supporting the "tight junctions" in your gut and maintaining a balanced inflammatory response. A stronger gut barrier supports a stronger brain barrier!

Feed your gut to protect your brain.

It’s cold outside...Is your skin feeling it?

The New Year is here, but winter weather is just getting started. Freezing temps and dry air can leave skin feeling dull, dehydrated, and tired.

While heavy creams and lotions are great, they only address the surface. To find true radiance, you have to go deeper.

Give your skin the support it craves this season with Dr. Ohhira’s Premium Collagen Plus. This unique formula is designed to support elasticity and hydration from the inside out, helping you maintain a youthful glow even in the harsh winter months.

Don’t just moisturize — rejuvenate!

With New Years right around the corner, we often ring in the New Year by making a variety of resolutions that we hope to utilize to improve our lives.

One resolution that we almost ubiquitously put forth is the desire to improve our health by supporting our immune system, eating healthier, and exercising more.

As part of that, Essential Formulas wants to highlight the value of probiotics in supporting those goals by helping support your immune system and enhancing the gut-brain axis!

The cold weather can be hard on our skin, leaving it feeling dry and dull. While many of us reach for topical creams, true radiance starts at a much deeper level.

Almost nothing gives us all more cause for celebration than our furry family members.

Be they our favorite cat and dogs or something else entirely, the only thing that is certain is that we love them with all our hearts.

Beyond just its ingredients, Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics is set apart by it's extraordinary, multi-year fermentation process.

This method, developed by renowned microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, is designed to mimic the processes within the human body but on a vastly extended timeline to create a uniquely potent product.

The process is undergone in special 80-gallon vats, where it undergoes at LEAST a 3-year, natural-temperature fermentation.
