Sustainability
Just as the small microbes that make up our being have their roles to play in keeping us healthy and functioning at our best, we as individuals have responsibility in taking care of the environment and world that we live in. This is why we've chosen amber glass for our bottles. Glass is an infinitely recyleable material and is environmentaly freindly. In addition, all of our kraft labels and packaging are naturally biodegradable. We know we still have room to improve and are or constantly on the lookout for how we can be a kinder company to the planet as we grow.
Potential Benefits to adding probiotics to your diet
Overall Better Digestion and Gut Health
Probiotics are live, friendly bacteria that are good for your digestive system by keeping your microbiome balanced. Heaving a healthy population in your gut helps promote better digestion. (Ie. Less bloating and easier, more regular bowel movements.)
Better Immune Support
Probiotics help create lots of competition in our intestinal ecosystem against less friendly bacteria and pathogens.
Decrease In Reactions To Food Allergies
IVS-1® is continously studied to prove its effectiveness in reducing symptoms and reactions to common food allergies. This is because the added competition in our microbiome also helps regulate and deflect certain foods that our bodies wouldn't want digested. READ HERE
Promotes Healthy Folate Production
IVS-1® is clinically proven in human test trials to help produce the vital vitamin B nutrient known as folate. Folate is an important resource for fast growing cells in both men and women, but it is especially crucial for pregnant mothers as folate helps the healthy brain development of unborn babies.

Mental Clarity and Less Mood Disturbances
IVS-1® is clinically studied to produce GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid) a non-essential amino acid found mainly in the human brain and eyes. It is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it regulates brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain. GABA is referred as the brain's "natural calming agent." BY inhibiting over-stimulation of the brain, GABA may help promote better relaxation, mental clarity, and less "brain fog".
In addition, 95% of the bodies serotonin is created by the probiotics in our gut and distributed to to the brain. Naturally, if your microbiome is balanced, you likely will experience an uptick in your mood. READ HERE

What does “HUMAN NATIVE” mean?
Continuing studies are proving that adding additional probiotics to our diets can be extremely beneficial to everyone, but the lesser known science is that it all depends on what kinds we are adding. Most probiotics that we consume derive from soils or the digestive tracts of other animals, iVS-1 and iVE-15 are unique in that they are already naturally occurring strains within the human body, or “human native” as we say. When people don’t have enough of them is where we begin to see deficiencies and imbalances.
While more common marketplace strains are still not entirely ineffective, the continuous research done by our partners at Synbiotic Health Inc. is proving that these strains vastly outcompete the competing strains in clinical trials. This is because Ivs-1 and IvE-15 are microorganisms that evolved and adapted perfectly for our microbiome. Similar to the reintroduction story of wolves in Yellowstone park, these strains are showing to be the ‘missing element’ to keeping us as balanced as a healthy ecosystem.
The IVS Platform (In Vivo Selection)
Our partners at Synbiotic Health Inc., the discoverers is iVS-1® and iVE-15®, have a unique and patented way of testing these strains for their full effectiveness in clinically human studies, called The IVS Platform (tm). When probiotic microbes are consumed and reach the gut, they encounter a diverse and well-established microbiota. Indeed, they are usually outnumbered by a million to one. Thus, it is very challenging for a probiotic to thrive, persist, and provide health benefits in this super competitive environment. Nearly all commercial probiotics were isolated without any con- sideration to these ecological constraints.
Synbiotic Health’s IVS platform was designed to address this challenge by imposing selective conditions, in vivo, such that only the most competitive and persistent strains are isolated. The published pre- clinical and clinical data demonstrates that IVS probiotics have competitive advantages, delivering higher abundance, persistence, and health benefits compared to conventional strains.
