ProGurt – CORE

The SIBO Solution from Earth & Thyme

Especially formulated for those struggling with SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth).

A Probiotic Revolution for Gut Health

Meet Earth & Thyme’s ProGurt CORE: a powerful, probiotic-rich, living yoghurt designed to help manage overgrowth in the small intestine.
This is more than just a yoghurt. It's a carefully crafted blend of three keystone bacteria selected for their proven ability to support the upper gastrointestinal tract.

• Helps prevent and reduce SIBO microbe infestations

• Treats symptoms of IBS and digestive discomfort

• Supports fat metabolism and reduces visceral fat

• Boosts mood, reduces hot flushes, and improves sleep

• Increases fat oxidation and stabilises blood sugar

Gentle, effective, and made to support you from the inside out.

Why This Works, and Why Most Probiotics Don’t

We’ve harnessed the extraordinary power of a healthy microbiome by fermenting three potent probiotic strains in full-cream milk. This creates a thick, rich yoghurt that does more than just taste good.

Most commercial probiotics aren’t designed to address the root cause of SIBO. They might offer some relief, but they don't reduce or eliminate the bacterial overload in the small intestine.

ProGurt CORE is different.

How It Works (In a Nutshell)

Our signature fermentation process uses bacterial yeast to:

• Break down milk’s carbohydrates into lactic acid

• Remove nearly all lactose, making it gentle on digestion

• Denature casein protein for easier absorption

• Lower oxalate levels, which are linked to kidney stones

• Reduce the insulin spike triggered by whey protein

• Preserve key minerals and vitamins for a nutrient-rich result

The result is a nourishing yoghurt that delivers bioavailable nutrients directly to the cells. This supports repair, detoxification, and overall gut healing.

What’s Inside: The Microbial Dream Team

Lactobacillus Reuteri

• Anti-aging and skin-supportive

• Enhances mood through oxytocin production

• Produces 4 powerful bacteriocins, including reuterin

• Strengthens sleep cycles and improves recovery

• Known for deep digestive repair

Lactobacillus Gasseri

• Known for waistline support

• Supports fat loss and reduces hot flushes

• Helps manage stress responses

• Produces 7 bacteriocins

• Colonises the upper GI tract to combat SIBO species

Bacillus Coagulans

• Reduces inflammation, IBS symptoms, and arthritis pain

• Supports muscle recovery after stress or exercise

• Helps limit muscle breakdown

• Enhances resilience and energy after exertion

Together, these strains actively target SIBO-linked microbes like E. coli, Klebsiella, and Staphylococcus. They produce natural antibiotics called bacteriocins that clear overgrowth gently and effectively.

What You Might Feel During the Die-Off Phase

As ProGurt CORE gets to work, you may experience mild side effects. These are a sign that your body is clearing harmful bacteria.

Common symptoms include:

• Headaches

• Achiness

• Mood swings, like anxiety or irritability

• Fatigue

These are temporary and typically last no longer than 2 to 3 days. They are similar to the response your body may have to traditional antibiotics and are a natural part of the healing process.

Start slow:
Begin with 1 tablespoon per day. Increase gradually until you reach 125 ml per day. Maintain this dose for 6 weeks.

Signs You Might Need ProGurt CORE

SIBO is more common than many realise, and it’s often overlooked. Modern life—with its exposure to antibiotics, pesticides, additives, and ongoing stress—has disrupted our gut ecosystems.

Common signs include:

• Bloating, IBS, or frequent heartburn

• Food sensitivities to legumes, fructose, nightshades, histamines, or FODMAPs

• Restless leg syndrome or fibromyalgia

• Fat droplets in the loo (fat malabsorption)

• Persistent hot flushes and hormonal discomfort

• Stubborn weight gain around the midsection

• Unexplained fatigue or mental fog

Key Benefits

• Addresses the root causes of SIBO

• Supports healthy fat metabolism

• Helps reduce visceral fat and boosts fat oxidation

• Relieves IBS symptoms and lowers uric acid levels

• Suppresses candida overgrowth

• Improves skin, energy, and mental clarity

• Helps reduce menopausal symptoms

• Reduces harmful endotoxins in the small intestine

Why Yoghurt Works Better Than Capsules

While probiotic capsules can offer benefits, fermented foods—especially cultured dairy—are much more effective at delivering live, active cultures that thrive in the digestive system.

Our 36-hour fermentation process at carefully controlled temperatures ensures high microbial counts and preserves key nutrients for maximum benefit.

A Final Word

We’ve poured heart and research into developing ProGurt CORE as a natural ally for those working to restore gut balance and reduce SIBO-related symptoms.

We are not medical professionals and encourage you to do your own research or speak with a trusted practitioner. We believe food can be powerful medicine, and with the right support, your body already knows how to heal.
