Traditional probiotics don’t provide the missing strains
Most probiotics are simply large doses of the yeasts used to make bread, and the bacteria used to make yogurt. These aren’t the strains missing from our diets.
Until recently there was little that could be done. Sterilization is a necessity until better farming techniques can be found. It’s the best known method to protect against food-borne illness.
Equilibrium restores the dietary microbes lost as a by-product of widespread food sterilization
This product is a direct offshoot of the NIH’s Human Microbiome Project, a $115 million dollar census of humanity’s gut flora. The data tells a clear story: as a society our digestive flora is dying off, and this lack of diversity has causal links to western stomach issues.
Using our datasets, we identified the strain groups commonly missing from western microbiomes. We then worked backwards from this data to locate missing dietary microbes which provide the needed function.
Ingredients:
- probiotics (115 strains in their natural ratios, 1 billion CFUs)
- prebiotic (ground organic flax seed)
- delayed release capsules (plant derived hypromellose)
Hypromellose is an ingredient used in gluten free bread. It is well studied, inert / non-toxic, and in our opinion is the safest known solution for delayed release capsules.
Contains trace amounts of soy, 20 parts per million (0.002%) or less gluten.
Contains no dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, gelatin, nuts, wheat, casein, MSG, stearates (including magnesium stearate), GMO, artificial color or flavors.
Caution: As with any food or dietary supplement, consult your doctor before using this product, especially if you are nursing, pregnant, plan to become pregnant, are immunocompromised, under active health supervision, or anticipate surgery.
Disclaimer: This product is a nutritional supplement, and is solely intended to help you increase your microbial intake.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Although our scientists have performed NIH and NSF funded research, and have been published in Nature, Science, and PlosOne, these organizations do not necessarily endorse this specific product.
Who should be careful around probiotics?
If you have pregnant, nursing, have had a colostomy performed, or are under active medical supervision, please consult to your doctor before taking any probiotics.
Have you performed any studies?
Yes. We have performed a month long pilot study which completed on October 10th, 2014.
Our next study is much more ambitious. We are creating a new way to perform high-potential-bias studies, and open sourcing the protocol. Some key features:
- Mandatory publishing of both positive and negative outcomes.
- Declaring the analysis procedures in advance of collecting data, to prevent statistical manipulation of results.
- Designed in the open, with the help of the evidence based nutrition community.

Equilibrium
Environmental & Ancestral Probiotic
Modern food is missing the microbes we evolved eating. This blend reseeds your gut back to evolutionarily normal digestion:
- Alert and focused. Similar to the difference between a full night’s sleep and missing an hour or two.
- Relaxed. Publications show correlations between happiness, stress, and a diverse microbiome.
- Better digestion. No longer worry about the “after effects” of your food choices.

For a full list of the species see below. What Dr Grace PharmD discusses often is how these strains are unique and help bring about diversity toward joy, happiness and better digestion.
Eubacteria is included and this group products buytrate. This is one of the few probiotics that includes buytrate-makers in the probiotic industry. Sadly these do contain histamine-producing species. If a client has MCAS/CIRS and histamine intolerance, sometimes Equilibrium can produce issues we have seen.
Please consider a few options: arrange a consult with Dr Grace, test-not-guess (order GI-MAP and/or OAT kits), our program which will reduce histamine-producing pathogens in our Master Gut Class and the Gut Reset Protocol.
