The Big Idea

It’s important to remember how much of our body’s internal systems are located in the gut – namely, it’s estimated to be up to 70% of the immune system. Maintaining gut health is vital in general , but its role in supporting our immune health is extremely important to me. Synbiotic+’s key ingredients (prebiotics, probiotics, and a postbiotic) are designed to help with gut support, digestive support, and immune support, and they’re packaged into a vegan-friendly, non-GMO, delayed-release capsule that doesn't have to be refrigerated (the bottle uses moisture-control technology).*

A Jack of All Trades

Each capsule contains prebiotics, probiotics, and a postbiotic. Prebiotics are designed to target unwanted bacteria that grows in the gut, to support the growth and activity of more of the good stuff. The probiotics are two of the most studied strains in the world: LGG and BB-12. Together, they provide live microorganisms to help relieve mild and occasional discomforts like bloating, gas, and diarrhea. The postbiotic helps aid the production of Butyrate, which is the major energy source for the cells that line the colon (to help support gut barrier function).*

It’s Fresh AF

The Minty Tab was one of my unexpectedly favorite parts about using Ritual’s Multivitamin, and I was delighted to taste that it found its way into the Synbiotic+ bottle. That pop of freshness in the morning is quite refreshing, and honestly makes it easier to remember to take. I’ve developed a pavlovian association with it: every time I brush my teeth, I reach for my Synbiotic+. Making a casual habit out of daily health is something that is foundational to Ritual’s ethos, and even small details like the Minty Tab have proven the brand’s efficacy in facilitating that.

Clear-Cut and Made Traceable, Too

The brand’s visible supply chain makes it possible to trace–down to the town or city in some cases–both the supplier of each labeled ingredient and location of the final place of manufacturing. I am always blown away by the wealth of information on Ritual’s website and the time the team took to make it fun and simple to look at. Even if you are someone who’s willing to comb tirelessly through ingredient lists and read the fine print about suppliers, more often than not, that information is not readily available. Ritual puts it all out on the table, in a format that is pleasurable and user-friendly. Whether you’d like a chemistry lecture or need to be explained things like you’re five, Ritual has you covered.
