L. reuteri Probiotic Yoghurt & Gut Health
Each of our yoghurts is efficiently fermented with live
Lactobacillus reuteri strains that have been studied for
their unique, health-supporting properties.
PRCXN — DSM 17648
DSM 17648 is a strain that researchers have studied for its
interaction with Helicobacter pylori, a common stomach
bacterium. In laboratory studies, this strain has been observed to
bind to H. pylori cells. It is one of the most-researched
L. reuteri strains in this area.
SPCTRL — DSM 17938
A broad-acting L. reuteri strain observed in studies to
help limit unwanted microbes, including Candida species,
while coexisting peacefully with beneficial flora. It contributes
to microbial balance throughout the gut and is widely recognised
for its excellent safety record.
LVLV — ATCC PTA 6475
ATCC PTA 6475 is an L. reuteri strain studied for
its antipathogenic activity and, in research settings, for its
relationship with the gut–brain axis, including pathways involving
oxytocin stimulation. It is one of the more extensively researched
L. reuteri strains in connection with these systemic
effects.
Why Gut Health Matters
Modern research consistently links gut balance to nearly every aspect
of wellbeing. Scientific studies suggest that a well-functioning
microbiome influences:
- General wellbeing & energy – balanced digestion and reduced bloating promote comfort and nutrient absorption.
- Indigestion – dysbiosis and intestinal inflammation are central to gut issues; balanced flora can help stabilise the gut environment.
- Nutrient deficiencies – microbial imbalances can impair absorption of iron, B-vitamins, and magnesium.
- Chronic inflammation & disease – microbial metabolites regulate immune signalling throughout the body.
- Cardiovascular health – balanced gut flora correlates with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Kidney health & joint health – certain microbes degrade oxalate and uric acid, helping the body excrete them safely.
- Bile sludge & fat digestion – microbial enzymes aid bile circulation and emulsify fats efficiently.
- Obesity & blood sugar – gut composition affects insulin sensitivity and energy storage.
- Mental health & cognition – the gut–brain axis influences mood, clarity, and focus. Studies link dysbiosis with depression, anxiety, and brain fog.
- Stress & sleep – gut microbes help regulate serotonin and melatonin production.
- Ageing & inflammaging – balanced microbiota reduce chronic low-grade inflammation, the driver of premature ageing.
Restoring microbial balance can therefore ripple through every system
of the body.
The Power of Lactobacillus reuteri
Our three L. reuteri strains have each been researched for
complementary roles in the gut:
- DSM 17648 (“PRCXN”) has been studied for its ability to
bind to Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, by forming complexes that
are naturally cleared through digestion.
- DSM 17938 (“SPCTRL”) promotes a balanced gut environment by
limiting the overgrowth of opportunistic species, including Candida,
while reinforcing a healthy microbial community along the intestinal tract.
- ATCC PTA 6475 (“LVLV”) has been studied for its
antipathogenic activity and for its role in the gut–brain axis, pertaining
to oxytocin stimulation and systemic wellbeing.
Used together in rotation,
PRCXN, SPCTRL and LVLV have each been studied for complementary roles:
one researched in connection with H. pylori, one for supporting general
microbial balance downstream in the gut, and one for its stimulation of oxytocin in
the gut. This layered approach can greatly support systemic health.
When the three yoghurts are taken in rotation, they help create a more resilient digestive ecosystem
less prone to inflammation, laying a foundation for lasting digestive harmony and whole-body wellbeing.
Each bottle of yoghurt contains 250 ml,
delivering live counts of over 100 billion CFU, a level consistent
with genuine biological effect.
All of our yoghurts are lactose-free to minimise negative reactions.

PubMed and other open scientific databases. Our products are fermented foods
intended to support natural gut balance as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Instructions
The yoghurt may be consumed at any time in the day, but for best effect, it is recommended to have it
on an empty stomach. This allows the beneficial bacteria to reach the gut unimpeded.
Please do the following:
- Natural yoghurt can separate, which is perfectly natural, so shake well before use.
- Keep refrigerated.
- Consume within 3 days of opening.
