Ingredient Repository

Every ingredient, explained.

What each active does, the evidence behind it, and how live probiotics help your body absorb and use it. One source of truth for every Velobiotics formula.

🛡️

Why probiotics change the maths

Nutrients only work once they are absorbed. Live cultures lower gut pH, produce short-chain fatty acids, strengthen the gut lining and even synthesise vitamins — so the actives in each formula are taken up and used more completely. Every Velobiotics culture is protected by patented MEP microencapsulation to arrive alive.
