Our gut bacteria play an incredibly complex and critical role in helping us thrive. The microbiome affects everything from digestion to the immune system, hormones, skin health and even mental wellbeing.
what are prebiotics, probiotics & postbiotics?
To maintain a healthy gut, we need to consume a mixture of both pre and pro biotics. When the pre and pro biotics meet, they produce an array of compounds called postbiotics. It is this output that produces health benefits.
prebiotics act as food for the microbes living in our gut.

what are the best probiotics?
Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM
The world's most researched strain of acidophilus, especially trialled for IBS-related pain and bloating. However, given the extensive research behind it, trials are broad, covering immunity, digestion, cognition and skin health.
Bifidobacterium lactis BL04
This species has been shown to have a broad range of potential benefits - improved immune function, reduced inflammation, modulation of the gut-brain axis, implying its benefits in cognitive function and mental health.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001
This strain has a specific focus on immunity, with its ability to enhance immune function and increase natural cellular immune responses. It has also demonstrated an ability to improve skin conditions like eczema.

delivery.
Designed with an inner core and outer shell to ensure the bacteria withstand the harsh conditions of your GI tract and reach the gut alive, where the microbiome thrives.

potency.
50 billion colony-forming units (CFU) across 11 clinically trialled bacterial strains spanning 7 different species.; one of the highest counts on the market.
diversity.
11 clinically trialled bacterial strains spanning 7 different species. Our strain taxonomy consists of strains with extensive clinical data, with over 450 studies conducted over a 46 year period, exploring hypotheses across digestion, immunity, skin, cognition and hormones.
prebiotics included.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) act as a prebiotic - 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.
convenience.
One capsule - just once a day, every day. No gimmicks, no refrigeration, no blending. Just take as you hydrate first thing in the morning.
why does delivery matter?
Many single-capsule probiotics don’t reliably reach the gut alive, and even fewer deliver both probiotics and prebiotics at the right time.
30x more effective than a standard capsule, our synbiotic duo cap. has a unique capsule-in-capsule design that 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.

proud to be tested using SHIME®.
You may not have heard of SHIME® from many other supplement brands, as the rigorous process can quickly expose the flaws in bacterial delivery systems. Epetōme's duo-cap technology has been tried and tested using SHIME® to improve the incredible efficacy of delivering good bacteria to the gut alive.

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.
