  • Complete formula with live cultures

  • Original vegan formula

  • Product of Japan
Renowned microbiologist, Iichiroh Ohhira, Ph.D., and scientists from Okayama University combined ancient Japanese fermentation skills with modern technology to create this unique beneficial product. 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria, including powerful proprietary TH10, are used in a complex 3-year fermentation process. The culture medium (an optimum natural pre-biotic) composed of vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and seaweeds is encapsulated along with live lactic acid bacteria. The probiotic system also includes organic acids naturally produced through fermentation. These important substances create the proper GI environment in which all the body's unique blend of hundreds of strains of friendly microflora can flourish. Vegan.

Probiotics 12 Plus Original Formula 4.7 5 27 30
Best Probiotics I have been using this probiotic brand for over a year now and in that time I have been extremely happy with the results. The prices through Swanson are again cheaper than the local store options (by $10 this time) and since I use this product 24/7/365 every dollar counts. May 12, 2013
Best Purchase Ever The best probiotic I have ever taken. March 12, 2013
Best on the market! I have taken Dr. Ohhira's probiotics for a couple of years. i have tried other brands of probiotics and they are just not worth the price. This product is worth every penny! January 22, 2013
Didn't feel different. I have tried several probiotics and have not seen any difference at all. I tried this after talking to someone in a Health Food Store and was impressed with the quality and research behind it. I took it for 60 days and did not see or feel a difference while using it either. Disappointed! August 3, 2012
questionable I felt worse after taking this. I took it for 3 weeks and stopped. July 21, 2012
Felt worse I felt worse on these. Also having to take them 1 hr prior to a meal is a pain. Very diappointed. June 19, 2012
Perfect I take many supplements and this is THE ONE that I never want to run out of. I am So Regular with Perfect, Text book results. March 14, 2012
Excellent product Have tried numerous other brands of probiotics and found none as effective as Dr. Ohhira's. It is an expensive product so it took me a while to research the market and find it at a discounted price. Kudos to Swanson that offers the best value around! March 15, 2011
Complete Package Absolutely the best probiotic system we have found. We have been using this brand for more than five years and have been very happy with the boost in immunity and general digestive well being which this product promotes. It is one supplement we would not be without. March 5, 2011
one of the best around these really helped get my bowels back in check. i have tried many probiotics, and always come back to the dr. O's. always a staple in my supplement regime. swansons always has a great price on these February 11, 2011
Best Probiotic for Me I've been taking this for a little over a month and have noticed a positive difference in my gut and bowel movements. It's a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion. I wish Swanson's offered Dr. Ohira's professional formula. January 6, 2011
Very Effective! We've been taking this for several months now (only one in the evening) and found from the beginning that it has made us very regular. It's more expensive than other brands but the ingredients don't compare. Also seems to help with digestion. I would highly recommend. October 31, 2010
Great Probiotics This is the best probiotic out there. This probiotic contains the good bacteria + their food so they can keep existing. August 5, 2010
Dr Ohhira's Probiotics These are great probiotics, but very expensive. I think I will try another brand next time. June 29, 2010
Excellent product I have used many different brands of lower priced probiotics and never noticed any effect, but Dr. Ohirra's worked wonders. Well worth the price! June 17, 2010
BEST This is the best product for my tummy. I make sure to take it when I will be going out to dinner. No matter what I eat, I'll be OK. May 17, 2010
expensive and worth it very expensive. Totally unique. You WILL notice the change April 30, 2010
Best On The Market!! Dr Ohhira's Probiotic is truly the best. After using it for like a week, my stomach starting digesting food as soon as I ate it. February 27, 2010
Less is more I have used many different probiotic formulas that contained billions of organisms with good results in the past. But Dr Ohhira's formula with less organisms far surpasses the others in my experience. November 28, 2009
Excellent product This is very good products for stomach problems, take it at night on a empty stomach and you will feel great the next day. October 23, 2009
Very Effective I have found Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics to be more effective at balancing my gut terrain than any other brand I've tried in the last 30 years. Several days on this probiotic (5 capsules each morning & evening) has done wonders for me. Thanks, Swanson's, for carrying this great product at such a competitive price! August 30, 2009
Incredible find Easy to take and we have seen great results. August 22, 2009
Great Probiotic I have tryed many probiotics and by far this is the best! August 7, 2009
Proper Flora Dr Ohhira's probiotics are excellent. I'm so glad that Swanson is carrying them. I highly recommend this product. August 6, 2009
THE BEST PROBIOTIC EVER I can't give this product a high enough rating. It is truly a one of a kind and I hope you never stop carrying it. Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics are fermented from organic fruits and veggies for a long time to allow the bacteria to "marry" and get along with each other, which means they won't be competing once you take them. Love this product! July 30, 2009
