Surviving the stomach acid is only the first step - MAKTrek® is our proprietary seaweed delivery matrix that releases probiotics gradually over 6-7 hours - engineered to distribute live beneficial bacteria to your entire microbiome
No other probiotic does this.
Bloating and irregularity often start with an imbalanced gut.
Most probiotics face two fates: killed off by stomach acid, or released all at once in one spot once the capsule bursts.
Meet the blob — our seaweed matrix, MAKTrek®. Designed to slowly dissolve over 6-7 hours, forming a protective barrier that carries live bacteria across your entire digestive tract, not just one stop.
Your gut and brain are in constant conversation, communicating through what scientists call the gut-brain axis. Lactobacillus plantarum, the leading strain in our Gut-Brain Support blend, has been studied in human clinical trials for its role in stress response and cognitive function.
Did you know? Most of your immune system lives in your gut. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, included in our Immune Support blend, is one of the most extensively studied probiotic strains in the world, with clinical research spanning immune response and respiratory health.
Your gut microbiome is sometimes called your "second brain". it doesn't just aid digestion, it plays a role in immune defense, metabolism, and communication with your brain and nervous system.
Research increasingly links a balanced gut to overall well-being, not just how you feel after a meal. We built NSTINCT around that whole picture: a healthier gut, supporting a healthier you.

We named our probiotic blend Rainforest - with 30 strains designed with 40+ years experience in manufacturing probiotics - these strains and species have been hand picked for their specific benefits for immune support, migrobiome support and GUT-Brain Support.

Prebiotics Are Essential to Feed Your Healthy Bacteria
Prebiotics are basically food for the probiotics.
That’s why we chose 3 prebiotic fibers that all work a little differently to support the live bacteria - Acacia gum, Arabinogalactan & Inulin. All 3 of these occur naturally and come together to create a broad-spectrum blend.

Postbiotics are the waste your probiotics produce and are actually where most of the benefit comes from by taking probiotics.
MAKTabolite® is designed to complement complex custom blends, giving our formulation added depth and functionality.
*Postbiotics may be labeled as: Secondary metabolites, dead cultures, or cultured fermentate

There is what is known as “pixie-dusting” in the industry. It is adding just enough of one strain to put it on the label but provides no real benefit. This is why we list each strain & it’s activity level on our site. We get these numbers from sending blind samples to 3rd party testing so there is no bias in the resulting activity number.
