Lactobacillus Gasseri
Our L. Gasseri Superfood Starter was conceived as a method of introducing high quantities of the beneficial bacteria L. gasseri into your microbiome. We do that by fermenting the starter culture in dairy for 36 hours at a low temperature. This ‘low and slow’ method enables the L. gasseri to proliferate 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.
Restoring L. gasseri into your gastrointestinal tract is among the most powerful strategies you can apply for health, both physical and emotional.
Note: Not for use with non-dairy milk.
What Strain Are We Using?
The strain is L. gasseri from UAS Labs which is the BNR17 strain that Dr. Davis recommends in his book Super Gut.
*Even though this product is gluten-free, it was packaged in a facility that also handles wheat, soy, eggs, milk, & fish.

Health Benefits of L. Gasseri
The Right Equipment Is Important!
To keep your yogurt at the best temperature, you'll need an appliance with a temperature adjustment of 100° F and a timer that goes to 36 hours. This can be a yogurt maker, instapot, or sous vide device. You'll need to check to make sure these have those features, but here are some appliances that should work well for you.
Yogurt Maker
This is probably my favorite of the yogurt makers that I have tried. It's made by Luvele, which is a terrific company that is passionate about what they do.
Other Yogurt Makers
There are cheaper yogurt makers available on Amazon. They do work but can be a little tricky to set the time and temperature. Watch this video.
Luvele 4 Jar Yogurt Maker
This is another great updated yogurt maker from Luvele. You get 4 jars which are each 13.5 ounces. It keeps the temp between 78 and 122 degrees F and has a 36-hour digital. It's great for making multiple kinds of yogurt.
Sous Vide
We've made dozens of jars of yogurt with this device. You can make larger batches so it's very convenient. It's actually a well-known cooking method used by many chefs.
You'll need a sous vide stick and a container to place the yogurt in a water bath. It allows you to make several jars at one time and controls the temperature perfectly.
Here is a link for the container I use but you can use your own container if you'd like:
Instapots/Pressure Cookers
Not all instapots have a manual temperature setting that can be set to 100° F.
L. gasseri bacteria likes a temperature of 100° F. Regular yogurt makers/instapots are usually automatically set to higher temperatures of 110° F or more, which is too hot for L. gasseri.
Test your device with a cup of water and a thermometer before making your first batch. I hesitate to recommend certain brands because it isn't always standard for all the pots, so please just make sure yours can maintain 100° F.

Outside the USA?
We don't ship to other countries because often the cultures don't survive the trip or the product gets stuck in customs. Here are some places outside of the USA where you can purchase L. Gasseri Superfood Yogurt Starter:
