ProGurt Classic & Core – Facts & Experience

Some interesting facts and information based on our tried and tested experience.

ProGurt Yoghurt is not an instant cure-all. You need to be serious about fixing your gut microbiome and persevere. It is not a quick-fix diet — it’s a lifestyle. These good bacteria do not remain in your gut permanently; they need constant upkeep and replenishing.

Regular use, together with mindful eating habits, makes all the difference. The good news is that ProGurt tastes so good it soon becomes part of your daily life — helping reduce appetite, support weight management, and increase energy levels.

Everyone is different. The benefits will vary depending on your gut and overall health. Cutting down on wheat, grains, and sugars dramatically improves results. Ancient grains remain the best wheat option if you enjoy bread or pasta.

Balance is key. Use ProGurt as part of a wholesome diet — fresh fish, vegetables, seeds, full-fat cheeses, and berries. Listen to your body, and don’t treat ProGurt as a hassle, but rather as a supportive lifestyle choice.

Practical Facts About ProGurt

1. Suggested Duration: At least 4 weeks for noticeable benefits, longer for lasting results. After antibiotics, a minimum of 4 weeks is recommended to restore good bacteria.
2. Daily Amount: 125 ml per day is suggested. Some take less on maintenance. You can’t really overdo it — a spoonful before bed may even help with sleep.
3. How to Eat: Straight from the spoon, with berries, seeds, or a drizzle of honey. Use in dressings, cheesecakes, or with fresh fruit. Do not heat ProGurt — heat destroys the bacteria.
4. Who Makes It: Handmade in small batches at Earth & Thyme, Somerset West by Sue McGlashan. ProGurt is fermented for 36 hours at specific temperatures, ensuring maximum potency.
5. Shelf Life: Lasts 4 weeks in the fridge, often longer. Can be frozen without harming the bacteria — enjoy as is, or turn into a probiotic sorbet.
6. Ingredients: Fresh UHT milk, cream, and inulin (a prebiotic fibre that feeds the bacteria). The result is a tart, thick, creamy cultured dairy unlike normal yogurt.
7. Curds & Whey: Natural separation may occur. Mix whey back in or use for skincare. Avoid introducing outside bacteria — always use a clean spoon.
