Human Probiotic Isolates™ (HPI) of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacteria including beneficial strains of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bifidus and S. Thermophilus.

The divine gift of nature resides within each of us. A baby born and nurtured naturally is protected by this gift of life. A small selection of these living microorganisms were discovered and isolated. This is the essence and nature of each Sachet.

HPI are probiotic strains identical to those found in a healthy human gut from birth, unlike other probiotics that contain animal and plant strains. They consist of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacteria including beneficial strains of Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bifidus and S. Thermophilus.

Current laws under FSANZ, FDA and EFSA prevent publication of clinical studies supporting probiotic strain health claims.

Use only Ultra Heat Treated (UHT) Full Cream Dairy Milk at room temperature. UHT Dairy Milk is also termed Ultra Pasteurized or Long Life. Full Cream Dairy Milk is also termed Whole Milk. UHT Dairy Milk is a sterile foundation for the Progurt starter culture to grow. Progurt must be made with sterile dairy milk, so if you don’t have UHT Dairy Milk you must boil your milk first. Ensure milk as at room temperature before you begin making Progurt. It is recommended that you choose the highest quality milk available. You can use both Cows Milk and Goats Milk.

No. Fresh Progurt cannot be made using already-made Progurt as a starter culture. The strains of bacteria contained in Progurt are indigenous to the human gastro-intestinal tract and will not replicate.

No. You cannot use Skim Milk or Lite Milk. UHT/Long Life/Ultra Pasteurized Full Cream Milk at room temperature is the only type of milk that can be used when making Progurt.

Yes. You can use soy milk. We recommend the BonSoy brand.

Yes. Progurt can be added to muesli, fresh and frozen fruit and as dip for vegetables. Do not add to hot foods, as the bacteria will die, if subjected to high temperatures.

Yes. You may consume it fresh from the Progurt Incubator, but not artificially heated, such as in a microwave, as the bacteria will die if subjected to microwaves or high temperatures.

Yes. Only natural sweeteners are recommended. Such as 100% pure Maple Syrup, Organic Honey, Fresh Fruit or Progurt's Prebiotic.

It is the specific types and amount of probiotic strains that make Progurt different from other probiotics. The strains of bacteria contained in Progurt are of human origin, unlike most probiotics, which are of bovine or animal origin.

Progurt will stay fresh for up to 14 days refrigerated, however it is best consumed within 7 days of its incubation in order to receive maximum benefits from the probiotic bacteria.

Yes. We offer a 5 year guarantee against faulty material and manufacture.

No. There are absolutely no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives in Progurt.

No. Neither the Progurt Sachets nor Progurt can be frozen. The Progurt bacteria will die if subjected to freezing temperatures.

Progurt tastes like a gourmet style Yogurt. It has a very soft, mild taste but is dependent on the milk being used and the incubation time. You can control the taste through Incubation time, from mild to tart.

The clear fluid that sometimes appears at the top of Progurt is Whey. This is a normal consequence of fermentation. Simply stir the contents to re-mix the Whey.

Progurt can be purchased through Health Care Professionals, pharmacists, selected health food stores or through the Progurt Online Store from anywhere in the world. Delivery is within 1 - 7 days of purchase.

Yes. But it is not recommended. Probiotic bacteria compete with one another and it is best to allow the strains of beneficial bacteria found in Progurt to colonize with minimal competition from other sources.

Both Progurt and yogurt are cultured dairy products made from milk fermented with live bacteria. Yogurt is made with strains of bacteria indigenous to the bovine gastro-intestinal tract. Progurt is unique because of its formulation and contains strains of probiotic bacteria indigenous to the human gastro-intestinal tract.

Yes. If you are Lactose Intolerant, you can still consume Progurt. Whatever Lactose that is in the milk pre-incubation is converted to simpler sugars (Glucose and Galactose) by the Progurt Bacteria during incubation.

Yes. If you are taking antibiotics, you can still safely consume Progurt. It is recommended to wait at least 2 hours after taking the antibiotic, before you begin consuming Progurt.
