Ingredients: Lactobacillus Reuteri, non-GMO FOS (Fructooligosaccharides)
Contains live cultures. Vegan. Dairy-free. Non-GMO.
LR Superfood (full name Lactobacillus Reuteri Superfood) looks, tastes, and smells like yogurt, but it is not technically a yogurt. LR Superfood is cultured dairy, made with completely different strains of bacteria than conventional yogurt. These beneficial bacteria - Lactobacillus reuteri - impart significantly higher benefits and far higher probiotics compared to conventional yogurts.
LR Superfood's fermentation process is different from that of conventional yogurts: LR Superfood is fermented for 36 hours at a lower temperature than conventional yogurts, and requires the addition of prebiotic fiber to the milk.
This process generates very high probiotic bacterial counts, far higher than store-bought yogurts or even homemade ones*.Our unique LR Superfood starter culture provides a high concentration of the exceptional microorganism, Lactobacillus reuteri. Restoring L. reuteri into your gastrointestinal tract is among the most powerful strategies you can apply for health, both physical and emotional*. When you use the ‘low and slow’ culturing process described in the instructions, the bacterial counts of this beneficial strain are increased exponentially over the 36-hour period. The result is a rich, thick, delicious, pleasantly-tart, and super-healthy dairy product, far superior to regular yogurts which are fermented relatively quickly, and typically contain much lower counts of probiotic bacteria*.

GENERAL FAQs
What’s the difference between LR Superfood and conventional yogurt?
LR Superfood (LRSF) looks, tastes, and smells like yogurt, but it is not technically a yogurt. LRSF is cultured dairy, made with completely different strains of bacteria than conventional yogurt. These beneficial bacteria are called Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri), and they impart significantly higher benefits and far higher probiotics compared to conventional yogurts. LRSF's fermentation process is different from that of conventional yogurts: LRSF is fermented for 36 hours at a lower temperature than conventional yogurts, and requires the addition of prebiotic fiber to the milk. This process generates very high probiotic bacterial counts, far higher than store-bought or even homemade yogurts.
The LR instructions look very long and complex. Is LR Superfood hard to make?
No, not at all. The first time is always more intimidating, because one is not yet familiar with the process, but you will soon get the hang of it, and you'll see that subsequent batches (where your previous batch is used as a starter) will be much easier. It’s really a question of getting through the first batch, which is naturally more intimidating.
