Seed vs. Other Probiotics: Why Quality Matters
Here we break down exactly what to look for in a probiotic, mythbust some of the most common misperceptions, share how our DS-01® Daily Synbiotic stacks up, and confirm when to trust your gut (pun intended).
The Gut-Immune Connection: The Role of the Gut Microbiome in Your Immunity
The gut and immune system are deeply connected, working together to carefully coordinate your body’s response to the world around and within you. But how do these seemingly separate systems influence one another? Microbes are an important part of the answer.
Why Are Coral Reefs Dying?
Corals are integral to the health of the entire ocean ecosystem and beyond. But a host of threats have put coral reefs at risk of worldwide collapse within the next decade. Coral probiotics are being explored to restore our planet’s reefs.

Microbiome 101
You are home to a community of trillions of microorganisms, including 38,000,000,000,000 (that’s 38 trillion) bacteria, living in and on your body. The bacteria alone represent 50% of you by cell count.
Unlocking New Potential in the Gut-Brain Axis
Our Gut-Brain Development Program will translate breakthrough research for a new class of probiotics targeting the gut-brain pathway. Plus a Q&A with gut-brain pioneer Dr. Sarkis Mazmanian.
There’s a Scale for Your Poop. Here’s How to Read It.
Poop is one of the most important (and visible) biomarkers of your gut health. Here’s how to decode your stool.
Microbiomes Of The Body
Did you know there are at least a dozen unique microbial communities across your body? Let’s zoom in on a few of these—starting with the gut, skin, and oral microbiome.
