Our story
Most probiotics begin with the strain. We began with the terrain.
Progurt exists because the question most people ask about probiotics — which strain? — comes second. The first question is whether the gut can hold them at all.
A probiotic is only as good as the ground it lands on.
The gut is an environment before it is anything else. Minerals, fluids, pH and motility decide whether beneficial bacteria can actually establish — or simply pass through. Reseed into depleted terrain and even the best strains have nowhere to take hold.
So we work upstream. Restore the conditions first, then reintroduce what's missing, in an order that lets each step hold. It is a slower idea than a single capsule, and a more honest one.
And the bacteria we reseed are human-origin — Human Probiotic Isolates™, the strains the body was built to host. Not borrowed from soil, plants or animals. The ones many of us were meant to carry, and quietly lost.
What we stand on
Four beliefs — and the evidence behind each.
01
Terrain first
Beneficial bacteria can't establish in the wrong conditions. Minerals, fluids, pH and motility decide what thrives — so we prepare the terrain before we reseed it.
The model
Four levers
Minerals & fluids, the microbiome, the gut–blood chain, and lifestyle — the terrain model the whole protocol is built on.
02
Human origin
We restore the strains the human body was built to host — Human Probiotic Isolates™, indigenous to the human gut. Not derived from soil, plants or animals.
The dose
1 trillion CFU
Colony-forming units per sachet — a dose chosen to matter, not to look good on a label.
03
In sequence
Restoration has an order. Skip a step and you undermine the next — so we teach one staged protocol rather than a shelf of single strains.
The method
Mineralise → Establish → Nourish → Defend
The MEND™ Method — gestured here, taught in full on its own pages.
04
With restraint
We've spent more than fifteen years on a deliberately small range. No shortcuts — and no shortcuts dressed up as innovation.
The work
15+ years
Of research behind every formulation — and the reason the range stays small.
The method, in brief
Mineralise, Establish, Nourish, Defend. Four phases, in that order. We keep the teaching of it where it belongs — on the method pages — so this one can stay about why it exists.
Why we built it
“I kept coming back to one idea — that the body was built to host these bacteria, and most of us are simply missing them. Everything Progurt makes follows from that.”
Progurt began after more than fifteen years of research into human-origin probiotics and the gut-terrain conditions they need to thrive.
If any of this resonates, start where it makes sense for you.
Most people begin with a short questionnaire that points to the right protocol — no guesswork, and no pressure to buy.
