In today’s grocery aisles, food labels have become as complex as the ingredients they aim to disclose. From the ubiquitous “non-GMO” and “organic” to the seemingly straightforward “free-range” and “all-natural,” the plethora of labels can leave even the most informed shoppers feeling puzzled. Why is it that food labels, designed to inform, often end up confusing us instead? And importantly, why does our team at ZBiotics choose to put “Proudly GMO” on our Pre-Alcohol bottles, especially in an era where there is a rush towards placing “non-GMO” on everything? The confusion behind food labels ari ..read more

ZBiotics© Pre-Alcohol Probiotic can help you feel better the day after drinking, especially when paired with responsible drinking behaviors.

ZBiotics was built and continues to grow because of a dedicated team, committed to four core values that drive our company forward: humanity, integrity, citizenship, and science. These values are a primary reason we choose to work here. Of these values, citizenship is something our team is constantly engaged with behind the scenes. Given it’s incredibly important to our team, we’d like to lift the curtain on how our team upholds our citizenship value throughout the year. During the holidays, and Giving Tuesday in particular, corporations advertising their donations can look disingenuous and se ..read more

Human cells are accompanied by a staggering number of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that perform essential biological processes and greatly impact our overall health. Despite what you may see in popular media or the news, labeling microbes like yeast and bacteria “good” or “bad” just doesn’t provide enough context. The microbial communities in our body and our surroundings can be both mutualistic (contributing to our health while benefiting from some of our resources) and commensal (benefiting from our resources without doing harm), so you’d probably call these “good” microbes.

At ZBiotics, we are obsessed with the gut microbiome. Crucial to our overall health, the microbiome is teeming with a complex balance of microflora that are the foundation of many of our bodies’ key processes. Those microorganisms didn’t appear out of nowhere; they are abundant in our environment. In fact, we reencounter them every day in some of our favorite foods and drinks. In this post, we’ll explore some of the most common bacteria and yeast in day-to-day life. And we’ll dive into how they function in creating the foods we love and how they interact with the human microbiome. Here are som ..read more
