Quick Summary

GI ProStart™ is a food-based probiotic yogurt starter that dramatically increases beneficial bacteria through fermentation. It provides a gentle, reliable way to support gut balance using homemade yogurt rather than capsules alone.

Product Overview

GI ProStart™ features a synergistic blend of three well-documented probiotic strains selected for gentle fermentation, stability, and consistent results.

This plant-based yogurt culture allows you to create a potent, food-based probiotic that many individuals find easier to tolerate than probiotic capsules. It is designed to support digestive comfort while fitting seamlessly into SCD-legal and gut-friendly routines.

Potency You Can Trust

• 1/8 teaspoon cultures 2 quarts of yogurt

• 1 bottle makes up to 80 quarts

• Approximately 1,075 billion CFU per 64-oz batch
  (Actual values vary by milk type, temperature, and fermentation time)

• Lab-verified for purity, stability, and strain viability

Heat Stability & Shipping Assurance

GI ProStart™ maintains full potency when exposed to:

• 70°F (22°C) for up to 14 days

• 85°F (29°C) for up to 7 days

• 100°F (38°C) for up to 4 days

This is why your bottle may arrive warm — yet still retains full labeled potency.

Works With Dairy & Non-Dairy Milks

GI ProStart™ can be used to culture:

• Cow or goat milk

• Almond, cashew, coconut, and soy milks

• Other alternative milks (may require slightly more starter)

Produces smooth, thick yogurt with a mild, pleasantly tangy flavor.
