5 Reasons Why Most Probiotics Don’t Work

“It’s not just about adding good bacteria—it’s about adding the right ones, and helping them survive and thrive in your gut.”

— Dr. Kevin, Research & Development Manager

Probiotics are everywhere—from yogurts and kombuchas to daily supplements promising everything from smoother digestion to better mood. But if you’ve tried probiotics and felt… nothing, you’re not alone. Here’s why most formulas fall flat and how we’ve built a smarter solution.

1. They use the wrong strains

Not all probiotics are created equal. Each strain of probiotic has a specific effect on the body, and many off-the-shelf supplements simply mix random strains without considering what your body actually needs.

Our fix: We use proprietary strains that have undergone extensive research & supported by published scientific papers. We carefully select strains that target specific problems such as digestion, mood, skin, weight loss, and women's health.

2. They don't survive digestion

Probiotics are fragile. Many don’t survive long enough to reach your gut, especially if they’re exposed to heat (like in gummies), or destroyed by stomach acid and bile salts along the way.

Our fix: We use advanced four-layer encapsulation technology that ensures our probiotics actually make it to your gut alive and effective.

3. They lack prebiotics (the fuel)

Good bacteria can’t do it alone. They need fuel, and that’s where prebiotics come in. These special plant fibers feed your probiotics and help set the stage for a healthier gut.

Our fix: We pair our probiotics with prebiotics and functional plant-based extracts to support specific health goals—from gut balance and immunity, to urinary wellness, weight management, and skin health. Each formula is designed as a complete ecosystem.

4. They're under-dosed

Many products don’t contain enough CFUs (colony-forming units) to make a difference. Even worse, some skip certification entirely so what’s on the label might not even be in the product.

Our fix: We ensure high-potency doses, name all strains clearly, and follow strict quality control to ensure what’s on the label is actually in the product.

5. They skip the science

Most brands only test individual strains in isolation and don’t study how they behave together, or whether they remain stable through manufacturing and digestion.

Our fix: Our strains go through multi-stage functional validation, supported by scientific papers. This means that we don't stop at “this strain might help”, we test how they work together and how they perform in digestive environments.
