Texas-based Essential Formulas Incorporated (EFI) is commemorating its 20th anniversary offering scientifically proven probiotic products that empower people to lead healthier lives, according to the company. EFI was established as the sole U.S. distributor of microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira’s award-winning probiotic products and in 2015 added the pioneering Reg’Activ Formulas with ME-3.
“At EFI, we are intensely proud of 20 years leading the industry in the advancement of probiotic health and science through continued research and education of these revolutionary products that remain to this day unrivaled in their formulation, delivery and extraordinary benefits,” said William Schoor, president, EFI.
Michael Schoor founded EFI in 2000 to distribute Dr. Ohhira’s Probiotics, an all-natural fermented probiotic product from Japan. He experienced firsthand the benefits of this product while traveling through Malaysia in 1997. Recommended by a local doctor for his severe digestive distress, the remedy offered immediate relief far superior to medications he had taken in the past. Recognizing the potential health impact of this product, Michael arranged a meeting with formulator Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, which would become the catalyst for establishing EFI as well as forecasting the emergence of a natural health phenomenon.
Twenty years before the value of the global probiotics market hit $42.55 billion in 2019, there was little information on probiotic health outside of the natural health product industry. And it was these dedicated experts that EFI would introduce Dr. Ohhira’s products, which allowed the brand to grow organically through product referrals.
