Tastes Terrible, Actually Works | SCD Essential Probiotics

What do we mean, it tastes terrible?

SCD Essential Probiotics delivers a living ecosystem of 11, diverse, probiotic strains that have been scientifically selected for their active health benefits-plus the beneficial postbiotics they've made. It's fermented and our probiotics are alive, active, resilient, and even sugar free.

It has a fermented flavor! A little bit like a concentrated (and scientifically-developed) kombucha. And that can be an acquired taste. You may hate it. You may be pleasantly surprised (it’s not that bad). But does it really matter how it tastes? The bottom line is, it works–and we get it, not all probiotics do. But if you’re experiencing digestive issues, here’s what you can expect SCD Essential Probiotics to do:

Calms digestion and gut inflammation for perfect poop* that is:

✅ Routine and regular*

✅ Easy-to-pass*

✅ Dare we say, pleasant*
Helps relieve occasional or unexpected bouts of diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, and indigestion.*
Reduces cramping*
Helps break down hard-to-digest foods, with less gas, bloating, heartburn, and digestive upsets from triggering foods*
Many traditional digestive remedies are only meant to be used short term to avoid long-term side effects. SCD Essential Probiotics helps you ditch the pills, chalky chews, and sugary syrups. It’s made clean, without gut irritants, and naturally drug-free--so you can feel safe taking it as part of your long-term, daily gut healing and issue maintenance routine.*
Start seeing improvements in your gut health in just 7 days.*

It works!

"So, let me say i ruined my health, and at the same time my gut health. I have developed a dairy intolerance. Holiday time came along 12/14 last year and i had more dairy then my body wanted, or needed even close to it. Cramps for weeks after that. Only got a little better here and there. It was starting to effect my eating some even. So, someone told my wife about SCD products and said it helped them and recommended them for anyone using Probiotic's. Im on my second round now of Essential Probiotics and Herbal Probiotics. Let me say, there is a 100% difference in how the intestines are felling. Still some discomfort here and there but nothing like before. I use 1 in the morning and 1 at night. I see myself continuing this and maybe more in the future. So long as they are around, ill be a customer."

What does good gut health mean?

Why reset your gut health? Our guts are the key to our whole health–body and mind. Symptoms like gas, bloating, sour or upset stomach, heartburn, indigestion, and constipation or diarrhea are your gut’s way of communicating something’s up. The science says when your gut is working smoothly:

✅ Your body’s getting the most optimized nutrition from your food and supplements

✅ Your immune system is in balance

✅ Your gut and brain are in sync

✅ Your inflammation levels are regulated

✅ Your energy is maximized

✅ Your skin is calm and clear

✅ Your digestion should be easy, regular, and hardly noticeable–even almost pleasant

✅ You have an easier time breaking down fiber-rich-foods. That means less gas and bloating after triggering foods, and more beneficial postbiotics being made

Here’s the good news: your gut health can be changed, no matter where you are. And when you restore your gut health you can take back control of your health, eat and live freely again. SCD Essential Probiotics is here to help make getting started on your gut-healing journey easy.

Why a Fermented, Liquid Probiotic?

Not all probiotics are created equal. As pioneers in microbiome science, we’ve been studying and manufacturing our probiotics for 22+ years. We believe that the more we treat biology like isolated chemistry, the further we get away from healing. And unlike other supplement companies, we’re not purchasing and repackaging isolated probiotic strains.

We combine traditional fermentation methods with scientific precision to design a probiotic that’s as close to nature as possible, most aligned with your body’s natural systems, and carefully controlled for real health results.

Think of our probiotic “ecosystems” as little microbial factories in fermentation tanks that we tend to with great care in Kansas City, Missouri.

In these tanks, we give our living, raw and unpasteurized microbes the right “food” to live and grow. This food is called prebiotics. As the probiotics eat prebiotics and grow, they make little valuable commodities called postbiotics. Sometimes, we add all-natural and responsibly sourced “foods” to their diet. This unlocks even more beneficial postbiotics—bonus points for being in a bioavailable form that your body can easily absorb!

Survives stomach acid 16x better than the leading brand.

Many probiotics on the market don’t survive the journey to your gut. Others don’t “wake up” until it’s too late. That’s why you see other brands tout billions of CFUs: because they’re expecting many of those CFUs to die. Thanks to our fermentation science, SCD Essential Probiotics is shown to survive 16x better than the leading probiotic even without all those billions—in other words, its bioactive system makes it to where it needs to be, when it needs to be there, and gets to work.

Plus as a fermented liquid, it’s naturally more bioavailable for your body.

A strong and tested team made to help you.

In the real world, probiotics live in communities and work in teams. We grow our probiotics together from the very start. They form a community that takes care of itself, so it can take care of you. Then we stress-test that community before we bottle it, so it’s ready to fight for your health.

Their secret sauce? Postbiotics: beneficial substances that help influence your gut environment, pH, and health, including antioxidants, organic acids, and enzymes.*

Made clean, without gut irritants, and naturally drug-free–so you can feel safe taking it as part of your long-term, daily gut health routine.

SCD Probiotics was founded in 1998 as Sustainable Community Development, with a mission to create products that replace the toxic chemicals in our lives—using the power of probiotics to restore health and balance to our soil, our food, our bodies, our homes, and our planet. Inspired by the probiotic communities who work together to encourage life and health at their most foundational levels, we use 22+ years of microbiome research and scientific precision to design health-building products that work incredibly well by mirroring nature as closely as possible.
