Problem
Existing probiotic solutions often lack specificity and proven efficacy, relying on generic strains and colony-forming units (CFUs) as a proxy for potency. Many products fail to address specific health needs with targeted mechanisms of action, leading to inconsistent results for consumers.
Solution
Verb Biotics develops function-first bioactives, including probiotics and postbiotics, designed to deliver specific health benefits by targeting the microbiome. The company utilizes a science-driven approach, starting with the desired health outcome and then identifying and scaling bioactive solutions that provide a specific mechanism of action. Their ingredients are developed to address common and complex health states, such as digestive health, stress and mood, healthy aging, sports recovery, and women’s health. Verb Biotics combines science, biotechnology, and intentional development to deliver clinically-validated ingredients for food, beverage, and supplement brands.
Target Audience
Verb Biotics serves food, beverage, and supplement brands looking to differentiate their products with clinically-validated, function-first microbiome solutions.
