ZBiotics has developed two innovative probiotic products, ZBiotics® Pre-Alcohol and ZBiotics® Sugar-to-Fiber, both of which are genetically engineered to enhance gut health through unique mechanisms. ZBiotics® Pre-Alcohol is designed to mitigate the effects of alcohol consumption by breaking down acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol that contributes to hangover symptoms. This product utilizes a genetically modified strain of Bacillus subtilis, specifically engineered to produce an enzyme that mimics the liver's natural ability to process acetaldehyde. By consuming this probiotic before drinking, users can potentially reduce the accumulation of this harmful compound in their gut, thereby improving their next morning's experience.

On the other hand, ZBiotics® Sugar-to-Fiber focuses on converting dietary sugar into beneficial fiber. This product also employs a genetically engineered strain of Bacillus subtilis, which produces an enzyme called levansucrase. This enzyme breaks down sucrose (table sugar) into its components and then synthesizes them into levan, a rare prebiotic fiber that supports microbiome diversity and gut health. By integrating this product into daily routines, users can enhance their fiber intake without altering their diet significantly, promoting better digestion and overall gut health. Both products exemplify ZBiotics' commitment to leveraging biotechnology for improved health outcomes.
