Seed Probiotic Supplement Review

Seed Daily Synbiotic (probiotics+prebiotics) Health Supplement

To really understand probiotics/prebiotics, I had to get nerdy.

The science behind Seed blew my mind.

I learned the truth behind many myths around probiotics.

Did you know that probiotics are not only good for digestive health, but are also beneficial for skin, heart, metabolic, and immune health?!

‍

I tired Seed, and in this review article, I will share my experience, and everything you need to know before you get started.

What is Seed?

If you haven’t heard about Seed already, here is a quick summary.

Seed is an ecosystem of kindred scientists, doctors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and translational storytellers from around the world pioneering applications of bacteria to impact human and environmental health.

They develop scientifically-validated, next-generation probiotics.

Their mission is to bring much-needed precision, efficacy, and education to the global probiotics market.

Their first product—The Daily Synbiotic—combines 24 clinically-verified, naturally-occurring, probiotic strains with plant-based prebiotics.

These are sourced from Indian pomegranate, Scandinavian Chaga mushroom, and pine bark that confer systemic benefits beyond digestive health.

Ingredients

The Seed Daily Synbiotic is a combination of both probiotic bacteria and prebiotics. Prebiotics supports the microbes in your gut by helping them grow and thrive and by interacting with them to confer a health benefit.

Probiotics

You have trillions of bacteria living in your digestive tract. This is a great thing. These bacteria in your digestive tract are helping you to break down food and absorb the nutrients.

We refer to this as the “gut microbiome.” The gut microbiome is essential in the digestive process. If you have ever experienced constipation, bloating, gas, these are all symptoms of indigestion.

Science is still exploring this field, and new discoveries are yet being made. Research suggests a healthy and diverse microbiome is essential for healthy digestion, immunity, and inflation reduction (1).

A healthy gut is good for more than just healthy digestion.

Have you ever experienced an upset stomach when you are stressed?

The mind and the gut are connected in a complex matrix. Accounting to Harvard Medical School, “stress can trigger and worsen gastrointestinal pain and other symptoms, and vice versa.”(2)(3)(4)

A healthy gut could potentially help lower the risk of feeling stress and anxiety (5)(6).

Prebiotics

The prebiotics in the Daily Synbiotic supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Seed claims to be more effective than other probiotics.

Seed's Daily Synbiotic includes a probiotic blend and prebiotics.

I want to highlight that Seed is Vegan, Gluten-Free, Preservative Free and Allergen Free

How Does Seed's Daily Synbiotic" Work?

One of the things that make Seed so unique and separates it from other digestive health supplements is the 2-in-1 capsule technology and patented algae microsphere delivery system.

To put it simply, each Seed capsule has a capsule inside it. So there is an inner capsule and outer capsule.

The outer capsule is biotransformed by gut microbes into metabolites for human health. The outer capsule protects the inner capsule and bacteria from light and stomach acid.

‍

For best results, Seed recommends adults to take 2 capsules once a day. Ideally, take the capsules on an empty stomach.

I personally take my Seed capsules first thing in the morning when I wake up.

So I keep it on my nightstand. Otherwise I would totally forget!

Benefits

As I said at the beginning of this article, probiotics and prebiotics provide so many more benefits outside of digestive health.

Here are all the ways the Daily Synbiotic can benefit whole-body health, including digestion.

• Digestion (Gastriointestitinal Health): supports digestive health including easing bloating, regular schedule, stool hydration, the overall comfort of digestive processes
• Gut: it helps maintain a healthy gut barrier and function. Supports healthy gut immune function and immune responses.
• Cardiovascular health: Promotes heart health, blood cholesterol levels, and healthy intestinal recycling of cholesterol and bile
• Skin: Promotes healthy skin
• Micronutrition Synthesis: Supports folate production and intestinal synthesis of vitamin B12 in vitro
