As academics, GB's founders have been researching microbial ecosystems for the last 10 years. Our research was funded by the NIH and NSF, and has been published in some of the most prestigious journals on the planet including Nature, Science, and PlosOne.
In a natural environment your digestive ecosystem's holes are filled by a constant influx of microbes already digesting the food you eat. In the modern world, these microbes are dead on arrival.
Equilibrium's strains were selected to directly restore the unintended victims of widespread food sterilization. It provides a microbial intake significantly closer to the environment our digestions evolved for.
Our 200 person, placebo-controlled study is here!
Below are the summarized results from our pilot study:
They’ve been sterilized away.
Our fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, grains – almost all our food – would be microbially unrecognizable to our ancestors. Our stomachs didn’t evolve in this environment.
Healthy digestion is powered by a complex ecosystem, over 50 trillion microbial cells from 1,500 different strains. Aging, antibiotics, infection, and poor food choices can permanently destroy our strains, leaving holes in the ecosystem’s function.
In a natural environment your digestive ecosystem’s holes are filled by a constant influx of microbes already digesting the food you eat. In the modern world, these microbes are dead on arrival.
On average, modern humans to have less than half as many digestive strains as our ancestors.
Most probiotics are simply large doses of the yeasts used to make bread, and the bacteria used to make yogurt. These aren’t the strains missing from our diets.
Until recently there was little that could be done. Sterilization is a necessity until better farming techniques can be found. It’s the best known method to protect against food-borne illness.
This product is a direct offshoot of our founder’s participation in the NIH’s Human Microbiome Project, a $115 million dollar census of humanity’s gut flora. The data tells a clear story: as a society our digestive flora is dying off, and this lack of diversity has causal links to western stomach issues.
Using our datasets, we identified the strain groups commonly missing from western microbiomes. We then worked backwards from this data to locate missing dietary microbes which provide the needed function.
In short: It’s nice. You’ll notice the difference.
