A Strain is Not Just a Strain

Specific benefits from probiotics are linked to genus and species—down to the specific strain. Each probiotic strain has a specific job to do and may work best in certain benefit areas, so choosing the right strain for the right job is important. Our essential strains offer the same great safety and stability you get with our HOWARU® Signature Strains, providing a reliable foundation for your formulations.
