Epetōme's synbiotic duo cap. is the meeting point of science and simplicity. 30x more effective than a standard capsule, its unique capsule-in-capsule design ensures targeted delivery of ingredients within the gut, where the microbiome thrives.
The transparent outer shell is designed to break down in your stomach, releasing fructooligosaccharides (FOS) fibre, which act as food for the live bacteria. It also contains Vitamin D3, Biotin and Zinc, all of which have been included for their role in supporting a healthy gut.
Not visible to the naked eye, within the green inner capsule are 50 billion live bacteria. Protected by the outer shell as it makes its way through the stomach, this inner capsule is able to continue through the gastro-intestinal tract, breaking down in the intestines and releasing the live cultures into your gut microbiome.
The 50 billion bacteria within the synbiotic duo cap. are live organisms. Therefore, it is essential that they are protected as they pass through the harsh conditions of your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Our capsule technology has been tested using the most accurate recreation of the digestive system, SHIME®, to prove that all bacteria make it to the gut alive.
Our capsule contains 11 unique bacterial strains from 7 different species. They have each been carefully selected and are all trademarked and registered. In amongst them, we are proud to include Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, the world's most researched strain of acidophilus.
Paired with FOS fibre and key nutrients, all contained within our state-of-the-art duo cap, we ensure the targeted delivery of ingredients to the right place, at the right time.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) act as the food and energy source for the live bacteria in our capsule. Housed within the liquid layer, it is released first to support the function of the live inner core.

We recommend taking one capsule a day for a minimum of 3 months. This is how long your microbiome needs to adjust to the new bacteria, as also recommended by the British Society of Gastroenterology to anyone trying a new bacterial product.

Our gut microbiome is as unique as our fingerprint, therefore your experience with our products will be unique to you. Whilst there should be no adverse effects, some people have reported experiencing an upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, or bloating. Those symptoms usually go away after your body gets used to the bacteria in the synbiotic duo cap (usually within 1-4 weeks). However, if the problem persists, please stop taking immediately and consult your GP.
