ZBiotics makes genetically engineered probiotics.
ZBiotics is a synthetic biology company founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company bioengineers probiotic bacteria for nutraceutical and other applications. They launched the world's first genetically engineered probiotic in 2019 – a probiotic that breaks down a toxic byproduct of alcohol. They are currently developing a pipeline of additional engineered probiotics for other consumer health applications.
ZBiotics develops genetically engineered probiotic drinks designed to address daily health concerns, including acetaldehyde breakdown after alcohol and fiber production from dietary sugar. Their products are engineered probiotic solutions marketed for everyday gut health benefits. The company positions itself as a biotechnology-driven consumer health brand with multiple engineered probiotic offerings.
Their Pre-Alcohol probiotic drink contains engineered Bacillus subtilis designed to break down acetaldehyde while you drink and sleep. Sugar-to-Fiber uses the enzyme levansucrase to convert dietary sugar into fiber, marketed as available in Maple and Unflavored. The products are sold directly and via bulk options, with information on how the science works and where to buy (retail locations and online).
Who it’s for: Consumers seeking gut health and daily wellness solutions, especially adults who consume alcohol and are looking to mitigate morning-after effects, as well as individuals seeking increased dietary fiber from sugars.
