Harness the power of soil microbes and humates
VERMATE AND THERMAL MUD
Biological Solutions for Animals, Humans, and Agriculture
At the heart of the Vermate philosophy is a return to what nature intended — health supported by biological diversity, natural minerals, and the power of microbes.
Created by microbiologist, biochemist, and farmer Wilhelm Joubert, our product range supports health and performance in animals, humans, and plants.
This page gives you a general overview of our four products. Click through to each one for more detailed applications, testimonials, and product guides.
VERMATE IS AN ALL-IN-ONE BIOLOGICAL PROBIOTIC & MICRO-NUTRIENT MINERAL FEED SUPPLEMENT.
Vermate is an all-in-one probiotic and micro-nutrient feed supplement for animals, designed to restore gut health, balance hormones, and improve performance. It contains a living spectrum of beneficial microbes (not just isolated strains), humates, and whole-food-sourced minerals.
Unlike synthetic additives, Vermate uses natural fermentation to ensure living microbes and enhanced bioavailability, making it especially effective in restoring balance in domesticated and sporting animals.
Boosts gut health and immune system
Improves fertility and digestion
Reduces ammonia and nitrogen waste toxicity
Enhances muscle, hoof, and coat quality
Supports hormonal and metabolic balance
Thermal Mud
Topical Treatment for Healing, Recovery & Protection
Thermal Mud is inspired by wild animals’ instinctive use of mud for healing and protection. Rich in humic substances, trace minerals, and beneficial microbes, it offers powerful anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects when applied to wounds, muscles, or joints.
Heals injuries, sarcoids, and wounds
Reduces inflammation and swelling
Delivers trace minerals through the skin
Prevents injuries in performance animals
Detoxifies tissues post-exercise
VermateGro
Biological Fertilizer for Crops and Horticulture
Developed from the same microbial foundation as Vermate, VermateGro is a biological fertilizer for farmers seeking to improve crop yields, pest resistance, and soil health — without disrupting their current programs.
It contains fermented trace minerals (from kelp and seaweed) and diverse microbes, giving plants the immune and nutrient boost they need in today’s depleted soils.
Increases seed germination and crop yield
Reduces pest pressure naturally
Improves seed quality (onion & carrot case studies)
Complements chemical programs without replacement
Vermate Microbiotica
Boost Your Cellular Health & Improve Human Vitality
Vermate Microbiotica brings the science behind Vermate to human health. With humic and fulvic acids, a broad spectrum of probiotics, and essential microminerals, it supports detoxification, energy production, brain health, immunity, and gut function.
Our modern diet and environment are depleted of microbial and mineral diversity. Vermate Microbiotica restores what nature once supplied — safely, daily, and effectively.
Supports gut health and metabolic function
Detoxifies heavy metals and chemical residues
Enhances cellular energy (ATP) and oxygen uptake
Promotes hormonal balance and immune efficiency
May improve cognitive clarity, skin tone, and muscle recovery
Designed for modern life in a polluted world
Usage:
Adults & children 12+: 20ml daily (neat or with water)
Children under 12: 10ml daily
Another difference between Vermate and other commercial probiotics?
Aside of the incredible diversity of microbes, one major difference between Vermate and other commercial probiotics is the occurrence of nitrification and denitrification bacteria.
Why are these so important? These are soil bacteria that enable the efficient breakdown and conversion of nitrogen in feed rations into dietary proteins. Most commercial probiotics consist only of lactic acid bacterial strains or yeasts.
These strains do not possess specific nitrogen breakdown and conversion characteristics. Evidence of this comes from people that use Vermate in feed rations that experience a huge reduction of ammonia smell in animal waste and urine. Efficient break down and processing of nitrogen in an animal’s metabolic system is a key factor in improving the animal’s immune system.
Ammonia and nitrates that are not efficiently processed and excreted from an animal’s system is circulated back into the animal’s blood stream. This is a major cause for a weakened immune system that leads to lower production levels and diseases.
Meet Wilhelm Joubert
Wilhelm is a biochemist, microbiologist, and lifelong farmer. Raised on farms in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, his curiosity about microbial life turned into a life’s mission, to solve agricultural and health challenges biologically. Over 25 years he created:
Vermate – a living probiotic for animals
Thermal Mud – an external treatment for performance and recovery
VermateGro – a microbial fertilizer for crops
Vermate Microbiotica – a probiotic and detoxifier for humans
