Enterococcus faecalis TH-10

Dr. Ohhira’s proprietary strain is 6.25 X stronger than any other Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) known to bacteriologists. The proteolytic power of the TH-10 strain is what distinguishes it from other LAB. Proteolytic power is the ability of LAB to digest protein during the fermentation process and the greater its ability to digest protein, the greater the power of the LAB.
