How Sugar Shift® Starter Culture Works
Grow your goodness in your kitchen.
It’s easy to get your home-grown fermentation going and you’ll love the way it works in your gut. Sugar Shift® Starter Culture converts excess sugars into mannitol, which is eliminated.
Grow the goodness that will break down glucose and fructose, along with toxic chemicals like glyphosate. Re-establishes harmony in the gut and rebalances your metabolism so you can feel your best.
Get more from milk (and your microbiome)
Milk proteins have been studied for bioactive amino acid peptides since the late 1970’s and are now considered the most important source of bioactive peptides. But commercial yogurts don’t typically ferment their yogurts over longer periods of time which can produce more bioactive compounds due to potential risk of failure from the longer the culturing. Making your own milk culture will increase the potential for more of these important bioactive compounds.
- Lactoferrin - boosts the growth of cells that build bone, binds and transports minerals like copper and iron to the intestinal mucosa, and kills pathogenic bacteria
- Lactoglobulins with potential antihypertensive effects
- Antimicrobial and antifungal peptides such as plantaracin, subtilisin, and reuterin which target pathogenic organisms in your gut
- Proteolytic compounds like acetaldehyde, acetate, and lactate from Leuconostoc
- Caseinphosphopeptides(CPPs’) are powerful antioxidants which bind minerals in the milk and release them during digestion in the GI tract improving the uptake of nutrients like calcium and magnesium
L.Reuteri – the star ingredientyou need to make the best yogurt!
Below is Martha’s version of the basic yogurt recipe from Super Gut, by Dr. William
Davis, Our starter culture formula features the key strain Dr. Davis recommends for gut
health and making yogurt, Lactobacillus reuteri. Plus, our starter already includes inulin,
so you won’t need to add it. So let’s get started!
