About

Persephone develops a first-of-its-kind synbiotic that pairs keystone probiotics with prebiotics found in human breast milk. The pairing came from a study on the infant gut microbiome that the team conducted, and is designed to nurture a thriving gut ecosystem during the most critical years of development. The products replenish key Bifidobacterium linked to healthier digestion, improved sleep, and immune development, and were developed by microbiome scientists and pediatricians.
