Big discoveries start with tiny tummies.

The science behind the study

Why this study matters

From their parents and surroundings, babies inherit unique gut microbiomes that play a critical role in their health and development. Understanding the infant microbiome and its response to probiotics will help us gain actionable insights that can impact long term gut health and immunity.

What is a synbiotic?

A synbiotic combines probiotics and prebiotics to promote a healthy gut microbiome. Our study investigates how a synbiotic supplement could help shape your baby’s gut health.

 Supplementation

Caretakers will be provided with supplement (synbiotic or placebo) and be asked to provide the supplement once per day for 28 days. 

Simple participation

Throughout the study, we’ll guide you every step of the way. You’ll collect four small stool samples and answer short questionnaires using an app designed to make the process easy. Don’t worry, we’re here to support you.

Your support is key

Your contribution will provide valuable data to help us learn how synbiotics may impact infant gut health.

We’re reimagining infant health through cutting-edge microbiome research. Our mission is to advance wellness by exploring the ecosystems within us. Through studies like ARTEMIS, we use data-driven, real-world research to ensure inclusive and effective solutions, unlocking the potential for healthier futures. Join us in shaping the future of infant health.

What’s the difference between a probiotic and a synbiotic?

A synbiotic is a combination of probiotics and prebiotics that work together to improve gut health.

How long will my child receive supplementation for?
