Seed
Microbiome Experts
Seed is a microbiome science company that develops consumer probiotics and other health innovations based in Venice, California. The company was founded in 2015 by Ara Katz and Raja Dhir with the goal of pioneering applications of bacteria to improve human and planetary health. Seed’s probiotic works on the microbiome, a community of 38 trillion bacteria that live in and on the body and perform critical functions like digesting food and synthesizing essential nutrients. Their signature DS-01® Daily Synbiotic supplement is a probiotic and prebiotic formulated to provide benefits for digestion, gut-barrier integrity, gut immune function, and whole-body health. They have since developed two other key product offerings, PDS-08®, a Pediatric Daily Synbiotic for children and teens, and VS-01™, a Vaginal Synbiotic for adult women. In addition to the company’s consumer products arm, they founded SeedLabs to develop novel applications of bacteria to enhance biodiversity and recover ecosystems impacted by human activity. Whether through their probiotic offerings or their research, Seed and its partners advance breakthrough discoveries in microbial sciences across a pipeline of novel therapeutics, consumer health innovations, and environmental solutions.
