Biotics Are Better with Enzymes
Powerful Pairing for Sports Nutrition, Gut, Immune & Metabolic Health
Biotics are powerful in their own right. Probiotics support gut and immune health. Prebiotics feed the microbiome. Postbiotics help maintain healthy inflammation levels and intestinal integrity. But pair any biotic with the right enzymes, and you unlock a whole new level of performance.*
Enzymes don’t simply complement biotics. Enzymes empower them.
For brands developing next-generation gut, digestive, immune, metabolic, sports nutrition, oral health and weight management formulas, the equation is simple: biotics work better with enzymes.
Why Enzymes Empower Biotics
Probiotics need food and a hospitable gut environment. They need to colonize, multiply and produce postbiotics during their metabolic activity, which drive downstream health benefits.
Enzymes support all three functions. Here’s how the pairing works at the mechanistic level.
Enzymes:
- Break down macronutrients into bioavailable forms, releasing trapped nutrients for absorption & reducing the digestive burden that can impair gut function*
- Reduce undigested food residue in the gut, helping create a healthier environment for beneficial bacteria to colonize & thrive*
Probiotics:
- Germinate, colonize & produce postbiotics, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bacteriocins, lactic acid and digestive enzymes, that further support intestinal homeostasis*
Together, they reinforce the gut-organ axis that supports immune, metabolic and systemic health.*
A Pairing for Every Health Category
Enzyme + biotic synergy is far more than a one-trick formulation tool. It can strengthen product performance across nearly every consumer health category brands are targeting today.

From Science to Finished Formulas
Clinically studied combinations of enzymes and biotics are helping drive more targeted solutions across metabolic health, sports nutrition, digestive wellness, gut health and immune support.
Our branded ingredients demonstrate how strategically pairing enzymes with probiotics and other complementary actives can enhance product performance beyond gut health alone.*
SlimSEB™
Weight Management & Metabolic Health
Clinically Validated
SlimSEB™, which includes the patented sugar-to-fiber enzyme SucroSEB™, pairs enzymes, probiotics and herbal extracts for a revolutionary metabolic health and weight management product. The clinically studied formula supports every stage of the GLP-1 journey. It can serve as a:
- GLP-1 companion product
- Post-therapy rebound support
- Non-pharmaceutical alternative
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, SlimSEB™ demonstrated:
|
|
A second clinical trial showed that SlimSEB™ improved digestive comfort and supported additional weight loss in consumers already using GLP-1 therapy.*
DigeSEB Sport™
Protein Digestion & Postbiotic Production
Clinically Validated
 DigeSEB Sport™ brings the enzyme + biotic 1-2 punch to sports nutrition formulations. |
The patent-pending blend includes proteolytic enzymes, five probiotics and a prebiotic. It’s supported by two published, peer-reviewed clinical trials demonstrating support for:
It’s a single ingredient ready for formulation in shakes, sachets, powders and high-protein supplements. |
Powerful Foundations for Custom Formulations
SEBiotic®
Gut Health
8 Published Studies
SEBiotic® (Bacillus coagulans LBSC) is one of the most clinically studied spore-forming probiotics on the market. |
Backed by 14 research studies, it demonstrates support for:
Add a targeted enzyme blend, and SEBiotic® becomes the foundation for a custom formulation spanning everything from gut health to immune support.* |
ProbioSEB CSC3®
Gut & Immune Health
Clinically Validated
A potent synbiotic, ProbioSEB CSC3® combines three spore-forming Bacillus probiotics with a prebiotic.
- SEBiotic® (Bacillus coagulans LBSC): supports relief from gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation & abdominal discomfort*
- SEBtilis™ (Bacillus subtilis PLSSC): supports healthy gut microbiota & helps inhibit the growth of pathogenic organisms*
- SEBclausii™ (Bacillus clausii 088AE): supports relief from diarrhea, nasal congestion, sneezing & itchy, watery eyes*
All three strains have FDA GRAS No Objection Letters and Health Canada NPN claims. SEBclausii™ is the only Bacillus clausii with a No Question Letter (NQL).
In a randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled clinical study, ProbioSEB CSC3® demonstrated benefits across weight, metabolic and cardiovascular markers.*
ProbioSEB CSC3® has also been studied with ImmunoSEB®, a systemic enzyme complex. In published, peer-reviewed clinical trials and a case series on COVID and post-viral fatigue, results showed:
- 93% of participants experienced clinical improvement by day 10*
- 91% of participants experienced resolution of fatigue after 14 days*
- Shorter hospital stays*
- Quicker recovery*
- Significantly reduced post-COVID-19 fatigue*
- Faster reduction in CRP levels*
Add the right enzymes to ProbioSEB CSC3®, and you turn an already powerful synbiotic into a category-defining formulation.
