Looking for Nature’s Biotics? It Is Now Body Biotics
Share
If you remember a soil-based probiotic called Nature’s Biotics—sometimes searched for online as Natures Biotics—you have found the right place.
Nature’s Biotics was the name used for this soil-based probiotic when I began offering it through Upward Quest in 1997. The product later became known as Body Biotics.
Although the name on the bottle changed, the original natural formula was preserved.
From Nature’s Biotics to Body Biotics
Nature’s Biotics was introduced during a time when probiotics were not nearly as well known as they are today. Most people had never heard the term “soil-based organism” (SBO) and probiotics were not yet found in every grocery store and pharmacy.
The product stood apart because it was created from a naturally occurring community of organisms found functioning cooperatively together in nature.
Over the years, Nature’s Biotics became Body Biotics. As scientific classification became more precise, some of the organisms also became known by updated names. These were changes in terminology and classification—not ever a decision to replace the original natural formula with a newly engineered combination.
Today, the product is sold as Body Biotics, also called Body Biotics Soil-Based Probiotics.
What Makes This Formula Different?
Body Biotics contains a consortium of eight organisms. A consortium is a community of different organisms that function cooperatively. Although “consortia” is the plural of “consortium,” the manufacturer has traditionally used “consortia” to describe this community. We’ll follow that usage throughout the rest of this article.
The organisms in this formula were not individually selected in a laboratory and then assembled in an attempt to make them cooperate. They were found together in nature, already functioning as a natural community.
The organisms are cultured with a nutrient-rich medium containing humic and fulvic substances, minerals, micronutrients, and amino acids.
Soil-Based and Spore-Forming Organisms
Body Biotics includes soil-based organisms (SBOs), including spore-forming bacteria.
A spore is a naturally protective state that helps certain organisms remain stable when environmental conditions are unfavorable. This natural protection is one reason soil-based probiotics can be well suited to storage and travel.
Body Biotics does not require refrigeration.
Does Body Biotics Permanently Colonize the Digestive Tract?
Body Biotics is not intended to establish permanent residence in the digestive tract.
Body Biotics is not described as permanently colonizing the digestive tract. Customers who choose to make it part of their routine follow the suggested use on the current bottle label.
The Product Remembered by Longtime Customers
Some people who used Nature’s Biotics years ago still search for it by its former name. Others remember the product but are unsure whether it is still available.

A Personal History With Nature’s Biotics
I began offering Nature’s Biotics through Upward Quest in 1997. Over the years, I heard from many customers who felt an immediate sense that this unusual natural product was right for them.
Some became longtime customers and continued ordering after the product name changed to Body Biotics.
I have continued to value the qualities that made the original product distinctive: its natural origins, its cooperative consortium of organisms, and the preservation of its original formula.
Nature’s Biotics Has a New Name
The simple answer is:
Nature’s Biotics is now called Body Biotics.
The familiar name may have changed, but the product and its natural history continue.
