Starter Culture


The healthy way to make yogurt at home
and get your gut microbes in balance.

Our starter culture lets you make yogurt without the capsule – no cellulose, no preservatives of any kind.

HOW SUGAR SHIFT® STARTER CULTURE WORKS




One of the best things about our product is it is a well-balanced, very specific community of bacteria for gut health that includes L. reuteri. Our blend also contains inulin so you will not have to add it to make yogurt.

Our working community of strains come to life in the yogurt culture and they begin to produce many enzymes that break down proteins, fats and sugars in the milk, breaking them down into smaller amino acid molecules.

Our Sugar Shift® Starter Culture simply activates when adding it to liquid. Once the culture is hydrated in dairy or milk, the bacteria in the culture become active. These bacteria then start multiplying and consuming the lactose present in the milk, converting it into lactic acid. This process lowers the pH of the milk, which prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms and extends its shelf life. The lactic acid also gives yogurt its tangy taste and creates a smooth, thick texture.

Fermentation is a natural process where carbohydrates are broken down by bacteria without the use of oxygen. In this process, the bacteria convert sugar into alcohol, acid, and/or gas to produce energy. Fermentation also produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid, which not only enhance the flavor and texture of foods but also increases their shelf life.

By consuming fermented foods, you can increase your intake of beneficial bacteria and diversity, which helps support a healthy gut microbiome. Using our Sugar Shift® Starter Culture is an easy and effective way to transform regular foods into superfoods and promote a healthy digestive system.

 

Here are the key strains that differentiate our formula:

icon keystrains

 

Bacillus subtilis (DE111® by Deerland)

Bifidobacterium bifidum

Bifidobacterium longum 

Lactobacillus reuteri (PCR07) 

Lactobacillus plantarum (TBC LP-36™) 

Lactobacillus reuteri (PCR07) 

Leuconostoc mesenteroides (TBC LM-37™) 

Pediococcus acidilactici (TBC PA-68™) 

Our formulas are balanced for sustained action, which means they work longer and are stronger. As a working community in a milk culture they can do even more to help support your body as you grow your own goodness.

 

L.Reuteri – the star ingredient
you 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!

Watch Martha make the Super Gut Yogurt with Sugar Shift!

INGREDIENTS: Sugar Shift® Starter Culture & milk (half-and-half or whole).

Add one scoop of Sugar
Shift® Starter Culture
 to
2 Tablespoons of half-
and-half or whole cream
in a medium to large
bowl. Make a slurry to ensure it does not clump. Mix thoroughly.



Stir in the remaining half-
and-half or whole milk and
lightly cover. Place in your
fermenting device (AKA
yogurt machine, instapot,
etc.) at 105 degrees F for about 12 - 36 hours. Taste along the way. When you reach the consistency and flavour you like best go
to step 3.




You did it! Your yogurt is
ready. Refrigerate to stop
the fermentation process. Remember every batch is different, don’t worry if your yogurt takes longer or it’s done sooner.
Enjoy your creamy
yogurt.

 

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 
  • Lactoglobulins 
  • Antimicrobial and antifungal peptides 
  • Proteolytic compounds 
  • Caseinphosphopeptides(CPPs’)

Need more time for an extended review.

Have only had this long enough to have made one batch of yogurt. Haven’t eaten it all yet but I can say that I like the taste and texture of it. I am expecting positive results from eating 1/2 cup daily, I just don’t know how long it will take to see any results. Will be glad to let you know when enough time has passed, or I see and feel changes.

Thank you for your review of our Biotiquest Sugar Shift Starter Culture! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you are enjoying the taste and texture of your yogurt. We look forward to hearing from you again in the future. Thank you for choosing to shop with Nourishme Organics!

Great yoghurt starter !!!

Have had great success making this medicinal yoghurt in my Luvele yoghurt maker. Have been eating half cup morning and half cup before bed. Sugar cravings have lessened considerably, sleep improved, tummy less bloated,stools regular too. Mood is also elevated, including my energy levels which have increased. This is my 3rd week of taking. I am 55 and female and very happy with how I feel from eating this yoghurt,and thus will continue making. I highly recommend.

I absolutely love the sugar shift 💝 I have been experimenting with the capsules. The I put 1 capsule in my beetroot kavass as it sits and ferments, the kavass is taken to the next level of amazing, and I can feel it working on my digestive system. The kavass is teaming with living life and delicious.
