Most gut supplements are created by marketers who've never treated a single patient with digestive issues.
They see "probiotics are trending" and throw together a formula with the cheapest strains at the highest CFU count they can fit on a label. The person who "formulated" it has never watched someone avoid dinner parties because they didn't know how their stomach would behave. They've never seen a patient get worse on probiotics because no one addressed their barrier first.
They're optimizing for impressive label claims, not your actual relief.
I created Biome Protect because I was tired of watching my patients cycle through probiotics that made things worse. After 15 years in clinical practice, I understood something most supplement companies don't: you can't probiotic your way out of a damaged gut barrier. You have to address the barrier, clear space for beneficial bacteria, seed with strains that actually survive, and feed what grows. Not one of these. All of them, together.
That's not a marketing concept. That's what I learned from treating thousands of real patients who had tried everything and were ready to give up. It's also what I learned from being one of those patients myself, two decades ago, when I was sick enough to see over 30 doctors before finding my way back to health.

I've sat across from thousands of people who felt exactly like you do right now. Bloated. Exhausted. Frustrated. Wondering why nothing works when they've tried so hard.
Biome Protect exists because I needed it to exist. For my patients. For the practitioners I've trained who kept asking what I recommended. For everyone still stuck in the cycle of trying one more thing and hoping it finally works.
