This certification ensures farms and products meet the highest standards in history for soil health, animal welfare and farmer fairness–helping transform our health and the health of our planet for generations to come.

No. This formula includes probiotic strains that are designed to survive and thrive in the high temperatures and harsh environment of the gut. They are uniquely resilient and do not require refrigeration.

Our formulas are Regenerative Organic Certified®. To obtain that certification, they must contain 95% Regenerative Organic Certified® active ingredients grown on Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. The ingredients are grown on Regenerative Organic Certified farms, including ingredients grown on our founder-owned Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. That number excludes the capsule and probiotic cultures.

There are three levels of Regenerative Organic Certified®: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. These levels apply to farms and producers only. Bronze represents the beginning level, and Gold represents the highest achievable level in regenerative organic production. This tiered approach enables farmers to adjust and adapt their practices over time and allows for continuous improvement. Because every brand that is Regenerated Organic Certified® needs to adhere to the strictest standards, we have to use the lowest certification label representative of the farm where we source our ingredients in the formula. However, our founder-owned farms in Missouri and TN are both certified Silver.

This means that 95% of the ingredients (excluding the capsule ingredients and probiotic strains) are Regenerative Organic Certified®, including select ingredients grown under the guidance of our founders and Ancient Nutrition employees. It also means that some of those ingredients are produced on one or more of our founders’ farms, including our R.A.N.C.H. Project℠, which represents our commitment to Regenerative Agriculture, Nutrition and Climate Health.

SBO Probiotics Ultimate also contains the highest colony-forming unit (CFU) count of all our probiotics products, at 50 billion CFUs* per serving.

The SBO Probiotics Once Daily products each contain 25 billion CFUs*. Each product offers targeted support for specific areas in addition to digestive health: they focus on mental clarity†, vaginal health†, healthy immune system support†, men’s health and women’s health.

Our SBO Probiotics also include the strain Bacillus clausii, which is not in the Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics line. SBO Probiotics also have more herbs and nutrients in their formulas. That’s because Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics only have a 5% allowance of non-Regenerative Organic Certified® material. We had to be very selective with our ingredients to meet the Regenerative Organic Certified® requirements, so we chose to focus on including powerful myceliated mushroom ingredients from our founder-owned farms.

The Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics contain 95% of ingredients (excludes capsule and probiotic cultures) grown under the guidance of our founders on their Regenerative Organic Certified® farms as well as ingredients from other Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. It also means that 95% of the ingredients are produced on one or more of the farms located in Tennessee or Missouri as well as other Regenerative Organic Certified® farms. The remaining 5% are inactive ingredients, like the ingredients for the capsules.

In addition, every single Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics formula has beneficial mushroom mycelium ingredients. Mushrooms are typically a great way to ferment these ingredients and are a source of prebiotics and postbiotics.

While our SBO Probiotics lines only include SBO probiotics, our ROC™ Probiotics formulas also include lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures. These formulas combine a variety of 10 diverse probiotics strains. Soil-based organisms are generally more survivable than live cultures, which is why there are 10 strains of probiotics, including a yeast that functions as a probiotic and LAB probiotics in our Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics as well as SBOs. Our SBO Probiotics have three strains and one beneficial yeast.

Regenerative Organic Certified® Probiotics varieties feature anywhere between 25 billion and 50 billion CFU1 per serving.

SBO Probiotics Trinity also includes a Prebiotic Blend composed of an Ayurvedic superfood fruit trio called the triphala blend, which is an herbal combination used for thousands of years to support overall gut and digestive health. It consists of three Indian fruits: amaliki or amla berry (known for its cooling effect), bibhitaki (used to help maintain balance within the body) and haritaki (known for its heating nature).
