Zoguri: America’s First Ready-To-Eat L. reuteri Yogurt
Raise your hand if you’ve tried to make L. reuteri yogurt at home. Perhaps your attempt was successful, but many people have found that making homemade L. reuteri yogurt can be extremely challenging and oftentimes frustrating. The overall process is not easy as 1-2-3. If you spend just a few minutes browsing Reddit’s fermentation communities, Facebook’s L. reuteri yogurt groups, or any other DIY probiotics forum, you’ll find a common theme of people spending hours troubleshooting failed batches, questioning whether their homemade fermented dairy creation contains enough live bacteria, or worrying about contamination.
Common questions include, “Why did mine separate into curds and whey?” “Is this cheese smell normal?” “How do I know if there’s any live L. reuteri in my yogurt?” “What does it mean if it changed color?”
These concerns aren’t isolated, they are the daily reality for thousands attempting the long fermentation process at home. While the benefits of L. reuteri are well documented and the DIY movement has gained momentum, the path to consistent and reliable results remains frustratingly elusive for many.
That’s where Zoguri comes in. It’s the only ready-made L. reuteri yogurt supplement available right now that cold ships anywhere in the United States. It’s DNA-tested to validate both strains and bacterial counts, professionally fermented, and delivered right to your door. You don’t have to make your own L. reuteri yogurt anymore! No more guesswork. Just good, live, beneficial bacteria that’s ready to enjoy in a couple of delicious spoonfuls each day. And at less than the cost of your daily coffee shop latte, Zoguri is an investment in your health that actually makes sense!
What Makes Zoguri a True L. reuteri Yogurt
Let’s start with what Zoguri actually is. We call it a probiotic supplement because you take just 2 tablespoons daily for health benefits vs. consuming a larger quantity as a food item or snack, like you would with most store-bought yogurts. However, don’t let the label confuse you, Zoguri is scientifically and technically an L. reuteri yogurt.
According to the FDA’s standard of identity, yogurt must contain two specific bacteria1: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. These aren’t random requirements; these two bacteria work together in a beautiful way that transforms milk into yogurt. S. thermophilus creates compounds that help L. bulgaricus thrive, while L. bulgaricus breaks down milk proteins to feed S. thermophilus. Zoguri contains both essential cultures, plus five additional beneficial strains which include our stars, two keystone strains of L. reuteri that 96% of modern humans are missing2.
Our special blend of beneficial bacteria includes:
-
L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 and DSM 17938
Zoguri’s keystone strains for gut health restoration and replenishment -
L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus
the traditional yogurt cultures -
L. acidophilus, L. casei, and Bifidus
additional support for your gut microbiome
This is what makes Zoguri so unique. By definition, Zoguri is an L. reuteri yogurt, but it’s so much more than the typical commercial yogurts you’ll find in the dairy aisle at your local grocery store.
*PRO TIP FOR YOGURT LOVERS: If you love eating your daily yogurt for breakfast or as a snack, we don’t want you to fret about just having 2 tablespoons of Zoguri. You may adjust your dose to suit your needs, or do as many of our Zogis do, gently fold your Zoguri into your daily yogurt or smoothie and eat them together!
Why Making L. reuteri Yogurt At Home Is So Challenging
TEMPERATURE INCONSISTENCIES L. reuteri requires a much longer fermentation at a lower temperature than commercially made yogurt. If the environment is too hot, the bacteria die and if it’s too cool they don’t proliferate. Even a few degrees of temperature fluctuation can ruin a batch, and most home yogurt makers struggle to maintain consistent temperatures for an extended period of time.
CONTAMINATION CONCERNS Once you overcome the temperature challenges, there are the contamination concerns. Every surface, utensil, and container must be perfectly sanitized in your kitchen and in many homes, it’s impossible to ensure that the environment is perfectly consistent every single time to avoid contamination. One slip-up and you might be growing unknown bacteria alongside (or instead of) your L. reuteri. Many home fermenters wonder: “How do I know what’s actually growing in there?”
THE UNKNOWN FACTOR Without professional laboratory testing, there’s no way to know if your homemade yogurt actually contains live L. reuteri or how much. There aren’t any home or DIY microbiology kits currently available for detecting L. reuteri and most professional laboratory tests are expensive, potentially costing hundreds of dollars while you try to perfect the process.
INCONSISTENT RESULTS First batches often separate into watery whey and cheese-like curds. The texture might be thin, lumpy, or grainy, the smell off-putting. Even experienced fermenters report that their results vary from batch to batch, never quite knowing what they’ll get. Many enthusiasts use part of a previous batch to start their next batch and keep this process going for batch after batch which ultimately reduces the bacterial count in those subsequent fermentations which reduces the overall benefit.
The Power of Fermented Foods (Probiotics Done Right)
There’s a reason fermented foods have been treasured across cultures for millennia. Beyond just preserving food, fermentation creates a living ecosystem that supports our health in ways we are only beginning to fully understand. The fermentation process produces not just beneficial bacteria, but also bioactive compounds, vitamins, and enzymes that work synergistically with our bodies.
When it comes to probiotics, most people don’t realize that the delivery methods are not created equal. While probiotic pills might seem convenient, they don’t always make it through your digestive system. Many bacteria die during the manufacturing process, more die on the shelf or during shipping, and those that survive often can’t withstand the harsh acidic environment of your stomach.
That’s why yogurt or dairy-based probiotics like Zoguri have a distinct advantage. The dairy matrix naturally protects beneficial bacteria3, buffering them against stomach acid and helping ensure more live bacteria actually reach your gut where they’re needed most. The proteins and fats in dairy create a protective environment, giving the bacteria a much better chance of surviving the journey through your digestive system. Plus, fermented dairy provides additional benefits like calcium for bone health, protein for satiety, and bioactive peptides from fermentation that support overall wellness.
