Reuteri is a probiotic strain known for its potential benefits, including enhancing the immune system, promoting healthy skin, and supporting digestive health. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of making L. Reuteri yogurt using a yogurt maker. It's easier than you might think, and the results are both delicious and nutritious!

What is L. Reuteri Yogurt?

L. Reuteri (Lactobacillus reuteri) is a type of probiotic bacteria that naturally resides in the human gut. This particular strain has gained attention for its unique health benefits. Unlike other probiotics, L. Reuteri has been shown to promote the production of oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone," and can have positive effects on mood and social bonding. Regular consumption of L. Reuteri yogurt may also help balance the gut microbiome, potentially reducing digestive discomfort and supporting overall health.

Regularly consumption of L. Reuteri yogurt can lead to:

  • Smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased skin moisture
  • Faster skin healing
  • Restoring muscle
  • Boosting oxytocin, which promotes empathy and enhances your emotional well-being
  • Protecting against recurrences of SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) or SIFO (small intestine fungal overgrowth).
  • Age reversing effects.

  • 10 crushed BioGaia Gastrus tablets (2 Billion CFU of L. Reuteri ATCC PTA 6475) or

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Place the probiotic tablets in a plastic bag and crush them using a heavy object such as a heavy jar or drinking glass, or a rolling pin. If you have the capsule form, open it and pour the contents into a bowl.
    2. Next, in a medium to large bowl, combine the probiotic, prebiotic fiber (inulin or raw potato starch), and 2 tablespoons of half-and-half or milk. Mix into a paste.
    3. Add the remaining (1 quart) of half-and-half or milk and mix thoroughly.
    4. Transfer into your yogurt jars.
    5. Seal your jars with lids and place them into your Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker.
    6. Add half to 1 inch of water to surround the base of the jars to ensure accurate and even temperature distribution.
    7. Set to 100°F for 36 hours and press Start
    8. Refrigerate when done.
    9. Add your favorite flavoring and eat within 7 days.

    Tips for Success

    • Sanitize Your Equipment: Clean and sanitize all utensils and jars to prevent contamination and ensure the best fermentation results.
    • Experiment with Fermentation Times: Longer fermentation times increase probiotic content but also make the yogurt tangier. But do not ferment for mot than 36 hours for the best results.
    • Store Properly: Keep your yogurt refrigerated and consume it within a week for optimal freshness and potency.
