  • What are probiotics?

    Probiotics are a type of friendly bacteria which provide various health benefits including the potential to improve immune system function and decrease harmful bacteria. Having the right gut bacteria has been linked to numerous health benefits, including the following: weight loss, improved digestion, enhanced immune function, healthier skin, reduced risk of some diseases.

    Probiotics are very popular and are taken as supplements that are supposed to help colonize your gut with good microorganisms. Each vybey powder 100g serve contains whopping 1 billion CFU dose of bacillus coagulans (BC). BC is a very interesting probiotic as it's spore protected which means it's able to function in extreme conditions such as the human gut. It helps colonise your gut with healthy bacteria. We all need gut diversity in order to encourage the immune system to perform when required.

    vybey powder has a serious amount of organic ingredients. We wanted to create a premium meal replacement option while maintaining an affordable price point.

    Unfortunately our RTD range doesn’t contain organic ingredients due to cost. As you can imagine, organic ingredients are far more expensive, and this doesn’t fit in with one our missions to provide affordable, nutritionally balanced food. Including organic ingredients in our RTD proved more difficult due to the complicated manufacturing process.
