The Microbiome
Friendly Standard

The name isn’t decoration — it’s a promise about how a product is designed. Five rules decide whether something earns it.

What makes a product Microbiome Friendly

Strain logic

Each formula is built around one clear microbiome goal — not a kitchen-sink of random cultures.

Evidence logic

It uses researched strains and mechanisms, and describes them honestly — support and balance, never cure.

Ecosystem logic

It supports balance rather than attacking symptoms. Work with the body, not against it.

Gentle-routine logic

Designed for calm daily use — not aggressive detox or shock protocols.

Transparent-label logic

Clear strains, clear benefits, clear limitations. If we can’t name it and explain it, it doesn’t go in.

The badge system

Four levels of Friendly

As a formula adds clinical strains, prebiotics or next-generation science, it climbs the badge ladder.

Friendly

A basic microbiome-compatible formula.

Friendly Plus

Includes clinical strains or prebiotics.

Next-Gen Friendly

Includes next-generation logic such as Akkermansia.

Axis Formula

Targets a gut-brain, gut-skin or metabolic axis.
