Big discoveries start with tiny tummies.

The science behind the study

Why does this study matter?

We ran the My Baby Biome study to understand gut health in the United States. What we saw were missing microbes. Critical microbes were absent from many infants, microbes with the potential to shape gut and immune health. Practices in modern society have led to the disappearance of these microbes, and Persephone is on a mission to replace them. Help us validate the action of our probiotic. 

What is Persephone's Daily Synergistic Synbiotic?

Persephone's synbiotic combines probiotics (microbes) and prebiotics (microbial food) to promote a healthy gut microbiome. This product is made with components that are deemed GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the FDA in a GMP manufacturing facility and tested for a long list of allergens and contaminants. If you have any questions about the product please reach out!

 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?

Your child will receive supplementation for four weeks?

What do I need to do?

You’ll collect four stool samples, fill out occasional surveys, and provide the provided synbiotic supplement to your child.

Is there any compensation?

Yes, participants can receive up to $150 in rewards for completing different phases of the study.
