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.
outer
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.
inner
designed to reach the gut alive.
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.

View Transcript
Is the synbiotic duo cap a probiotic?
The capsule contains live bacteria, therefore it can be considered a probiotic. It also contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS) which can be considered prebiotics. However, we refrain from using such terms as UK Law prevents this, seeing our products as food supplements to which no health claims can be associated.
How long do I need to take the synbiotic duo cap for?
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.
Can I take other supplements alongside this for my gut or is Epetōme enough?
The synbiotic duo cap. has been designed to provide one potent dosage of 50 billion live bacteria in one capsule, from 11 unique strains, alongside other vitamins and minerals that support overall gut health. Therefore as far as live bacteria supplements go, our synbiotic duo cap. should be enough.
What are the active ingredients in the synbiotic duo cap?
Our capsule combines live bacteria with other vitamins and minerals for added digestive value. See the full nutritional information table for more information:
Are there any side effects from taking the synbiotic duo cap?
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.
Other than my gut, will I find any other benefits from taking Epetōme?
Epetōme is officially classed as a food supplement by UK law, and therefore we cannot legally claim specific health benefits ourselves. We encourage you to do your research.
Our Research Library contains a whole host of studies conducted on the ingredients within our capsule.
What exactly is your microbiome and why is it important?
What exactly is your microbiome? It's a complex community of over 38 trillion microorganisms living in and on your body. Interestingly, there are more microbes than there are human cells in your body.
So it is important that we look at our microbiome, as it affects everything from digestion to the immune system, hormones, skin health, and mental well-being.
Each of these connections is vital. For instance, the gut-brain axis can influence mood and cognitive function, while gut microbes can impact skin health, digestion efficiency, immunity, and hormonal balance.
When is it appropriate to take a supplement for gut health?
While a balanced diet is critical to good health, there are times when supplements can play a vital role in maintaining gut health. Let's explore why?
It's important to understand how sensitive our gut microbiome is to various lifestyle factors. Our daily choices – what we eat, our stress levels, sleep patterns, and even our physical activity – can significantly impact the balance of our gut.
Supplements can fill nutritional gaps, especially in today's fast-paced world, where eating a perfect diet is only sometimes feasible. They can support our digestive health and ensure we have everything to function optimally.
What can I expect from taking the synbiotic duo cap?
Our carefully designed supplements can lead to various changes in your digestive system over time. We only use high-quality live cultures backed by credible science in state-of-the-art encapsulation to bring you a product you can trust.
In the first few days, your body starts getting acquainted with these new guests. It's a time of gentle adjustment. I encourage you to allow your body to get used to the shift. Over the first month, you might notice changes in your digestive routine. It's your body naturally responding to your diet.
By 3 months in, your body will adapt and find tempo and balance. Epetome is best taken on an ongoing basis as part of a daily health regime, making sustainable gut health habits an effortless part of your daily routine. Remember, your journey is as unique as you are. It's about consistently nourishing the friendly bacteria in our guts regularly.
