GI ProStart Yogurt Culture Starter offers a combination of three well-recognised and certified probiotic strains with documented safety and clinical effectiveness in supporting a full range of health promoting benefits. There is a long history of recognised benefits obtained from the ingestion of fermented dairy products, specifically yogurt. GI ProStart yogurt starter produces creamy dairy free yogurt when used with alternative milks and can be used with cow or goats milk.
Culturing of milk to make yogurt is made possible by the combined action/activity of two traditional fermenting agents: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. These well recognised probiotic yogurt strains produce lactic acid that ferments the milk and results in changes that occur in the development of the yogurt’s characteristic flavor and consistency.

What are the 3 probiotic strains in GI ProStart ?
The three carefully chosen probiotic strains making up this yogurt starter formula include:
LACTOBACILLUS BULGARICUS – This yogurt strain was technically renamed Lactobacillus delbruecki, subspecies bulgaricus. The L. bulgaricus strain is known to help decompose certain food components in fecal matter, assist in preventing purification, play a beneficial role in helping to maintain intestinal regularity, produce a natural antibiotic-like substance called “bulgaricans”, among many other documented benefits. In combination with the L. casei, it has been shown to exert some anti-microbial function against yeast, specifically Candida albicans.
STREPTOCCUS THERMOPHILUS – This yogurt strain possess remarkable ability to produce the enzyme lactase (B-galactosidase activity) to digest the milk sugar lactose, as well as supports immune function/modulation, inhibits pathogenic organism by producing lactic and acetic acids effective against pathogenic bacteria, as well as has the documented ability to synthesise folate and B-12.
LACTOBACILLUS CASEI – The L. casei strain is a well-recognised resident microorganism that is included in the yogurt culture because it produces complementary function and a broader spectrum of activity in the production of the yogurt culture. The L. casei strain is known to produce the L-form of lactic acid, which is known to be well tolerated by infants as well as adults.
