The opportunity

At ZBiotics, we make genetically engineered probiotics that improve daily life.

GMO products like ours, built to create benefits for people in their daily lives are the future. As the first to market, we believe it's our duty to set a high bar for product quality, safety, and transparency for others to follow.
