A freeze-dried, organic starter culture blending 10 live bacterial strains, formulated for thick, creamy, rich, home-fermented yoghurt. Designed to pair perfectly with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker.

Meet Probiotic Max, Nourishme Organics' most comprehensive yoghurt starter culture yet. Where a traditional yoghurt starter relies on just two strains, Probiotic Max combines 10 live bacterial strains in a single freeze-dried sachet — giving your home-made yoghurt a broader strain diversity than most yoghurts you'll find on the supermarket shelf.

Formulated for direct-yoghurt maker use, Probiotic Max is simple to work with: no re-culturing equipment, no mother culture to maintain, and no guesswork. Just add to milk, incubate, and set. It's been developed to work seamlessly with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker, Nourishme's precision fermentation device, which holds a consistent incubation temperature for reliable results batch after batch.

Probiotic Max contains the following live bacterial strains:

Streptococcus thermophilus
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus
Lacticaseibacillus paracasei
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus
Lacticaseibacillus casei
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis

Why Home-Fermented Yoghurt

Making your own yoghurt puts you in control of what goes into it — no added sugar, no gums, no fillers, just milk and live cultures. Combined with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker's consistent, adjustable temperature control, Probiotic Max is built for anyone who wants a reliable, repeatable batch of home-set probiotic yoghurt.

How to Use with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker

Pour 2L of UHT Milk into glass yoghurt making jar
Sprinkle the Probiotic Max sachet and 4 teaspoons Chicory Root Fibre (optional Prebiotic) evenly over the milk and whisk to combine. A milk frother works well.
Set the Reuter-i Pro to the yoghurt preset by pressing the function button once and operation will start.
Once the fermentation cycle is complete, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before enjoying.

*Fermentation outcomes vary with milk type, incubation time and temperature, and additives used.

FAQ

How many serves does one sachet make?

One sachet ferments 2L of milk. 2 tablespoons of the prepared yoghurt can be used as a starter for the next batch. This can be repeated 6 times before using a new sachet.

Do I need the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker to use Probiotic Max? No — Probiotic Max can be used with any consistent-temperature yoghurt maker or incubation method. It's been formulated and tested to pair well with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker for the most consistent results.The culture requires a stable fermentation temperature at 42°C for 6 to 10 hours. The longer the fermentation time the more sour the flavour.

Can I re-culture a batch to make the next one?

Yes, 2 tablespoons of the prepared yoghurt can be used as a starter for the next batch. This can be repeated 6 times before using a new sachet.

Is Probiotic Max suitable for dairy-free milk?

No, this culture is not suitable for non dairy fermentation. We have a Vegan Coconut Starter culture which can be used for all nut based milk products.

How should I store the sachets? Store in the refrigerator and use before the expiry date printed on the pack for best results. The culture can be frozen for up to 2 years to extend the shelf life.

Why is this starter more expensive than other brands?

Most commercial starters are 90%+ filler — maltodextrin, dextrose, milk powder or lactose — making the pure probiotic content tiny despite the low price. This culture is 100% pure live bacteria with probiotic strains at meaningful CFU counts. When you factor in re-culturing up to 6 times per sachet, the cost per litre becomes excellent.

How long does the sachet last?

Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
