Our Story

In the spring of 2017, something extraordinary happened in one of the world's most remote places. Deep in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, rising 7,570 meters into pristine skies, stands Gangkhar Puensum—the world's highest unclimbed mountain. It has never known human footsteps. The Bhutanese consider peaks above 6,000 meters sacred, protecting them from climbers and preserving their ecosystems in perfect, untouched balance. It was here, in soil that had remained undisturbed for millennia, that our research team discovered a unique microbiota unlike anything science had documented before. This wasn't just another bacterial strain—it was a living legacy of an ecosystem that had evolved in complete isolation, shaped by ancient wisdom and protected by reverence. What we found would challenge everything we thought we knew about gut health.

Armed with the bacterial strains from Bhutan, we began a meticulous screening process. We tested hundreds of isolates, searching for one that could unlock turmeric's hidden potential. We were looking for something specific: a strain that could activate anti-inflammatory pathways at the cellular level - not just suppress symptoms, but address inflammation at its source. After extensive research, one strain emerged as exceptional: Lactobacillus acidophilus IL-058. It didn't just survive in turmeric - it transformed it. Through fermentation, this remarkable microorganism converted turmeric's compounds into more than 550 bioactive metabolites, creating a complex matrix of molecules that work synergistically to support human health. We registered the strain at the prestigious Riken Institute in Japan and secured patent protection (FR2201333) for our unique extraction process. But registration and patents weren't our goal - proof was. This wasn't just fermented turmeric. This was something entirely new: a postbiotic.

You've heard of probiotics - live bacteria that colonise your gut. You know about prebiotics - the fibre that feeds those bacteria. But postbiotics represent the next evolution in gut science. Postbiotics are the beneficial compounds that bacteria produce - the metabolites, enzymes, peptides, and short-chain fatty acids that actually deliver health benefits. They're the reason probiotics work, but without the fragility of live bacteria. Unlike probiotics, postbiotics don't need refrigeration. They're stable, consistent, and safe for everyone - including those with compromised immune systems. You're not hoping bacteria will survive your stomach acid and colonise your gut. You're delivering the active compounds directly. It's like choosing the fruit over the seed. You get the nutrition immediately, without waiting for it to grow.

Life-changing supplement

As the Founder, Director, and CEO of The Postbiotic Company, I'll be upfront: my opinion is hugely biased. But it's a risk I'm willing to take, because I was absolutely vested in getting this right. From day one, I pushed hard on the fundamentals. Every ingredient had to be naturally sourced; Japanese ingredients, EU manufactured, straight from the source with zero additives. I wanted 100% pure, raw material taken through fermentation. No compromises. And critically, I insisted on no live bacteria. Here's why: we all know how pre- and probiotics come loaded with live bacteria that simply get destroyed by your stomach acid before they ever reach your gut lining. It's rendering them useless essentially money down the drain. That's not good enough. So I built this product differently. Postbiotics. No live bacteria to be destroyed. Just the bioactive metabolites your body can actually use. Now, at 66, I'm in the thick of building this company, and I'm not about to let my body slow me down. The reality is, inflammation and joint stiffness had been creeping in, wearing on me in ways I couldn't ignore. So I tested what we created. Within days, something shifted. The stiffness in my joints that I'd accepted as 'just part of getting older' began to ease. I felt more mobile & able to move freely through my day without that persistent ache. The inflammation that's been my constant companion for years seemed to lighten considerably. I'm moving with more ease and fluidity now, handling the physical and mental demands of building a company without joint pain pulling at me. It's not about feeling 30 again. It's about having the mobility and ease I need to keep doing what I love and knowing I'm not putting something into my body that's just going to get destroyed before it works. That matters.

Highly recommend!!

I started taking this expecting nothing miraculous, but within two days something shifted. My anxiety eased, the mental fog I'd been carrying lifted, and suddenly I had clarity and focus again. My mood brightened noticeably, I feel happier, more present, less weighed down. What surprised me most was how quickly it took my cravings of drinking alcohol away, as I used to be an avid drinker to manage my stress levels. Because of this I no longer feel the need to drink alcohol an it has given me an energy boost, mental and physical resilience to actually deal with my day and the problems in front of me. Even my chronic pain from an old motorbike accident seemed to ease and has completely reversed any pain I had. It's genuinely made a difference in how I feel day-to-day, highly recommend always having a stash in your cupboard, bags, car, purse you name it!

Amazing results

I've noticed real changes since using this. I'm calmer, more focused, and my energy is noticeably better. My knee has been the biggest win, I pulled a ligament causing me a huge amount of pain, and it's eased significantly since starting on this protocol. I'm on a strict no-carb diet, which was leaving me constantly bloated and inflamed. That's changed since I've been using this, the bloating's gone down and I feel less inflamed overall. When I'm training at the gym, my gut's more stable and I've got better energy to push through my workouts. It's made enough of a difference to be part of my daily routine now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are postbiotics?

Postbiotics are beneficial compounds created during fermentation—bioactive metabolites and functional components produced by microbes. Instead of focusing on keeping live bacteria alive (as with probiotics), postbiotic systems focus on producing consistent outputs: metabolites, enzymes, and bioactive networks that can be stabilised and standardised. Our platform is designed to generate a complex mixture of bioactive metabolites and deliver them efficiently. This is what sets postbiotics apart—they're not dependent on probiotics surviving your digestive system. They're the proven beneficial outputs of fermentation, stabilised for potency and consistency.

How are postbiotics different from probiotics?

Probiotics focus on delivering live organisms that must survive manufacturing, shelf-life, and digestion. Postbiotics focus on delivering the beneficial outputs of fermentation in a stable, standardisable form. Unlike probiotics, postbiotics don't need refrigeration. They're stable, consistent, and safe for everyone—including those with compromised immune systems. You're not hoping bacteria will survive your stomach acid and colonise your gut. You're delivering the active compounds directly. It's like choosing the fruit over the seed. You get the nutrition immediately, without waiting for it to grow.

When will I see results?

Our clinical trials showed measurable improvements within 8–12 weeks. Individual results vary based on baseline health, diet, lifestyle, and genetics. We recommend consistent daily use for at least 8 weeks before assessing results.

Is it safe for everyone?

Food supplements are not intended to replace medical advice. Postbiotics are stable and safe for most people, including those with compromised immune systems. Always consult a healthcare professional if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a medical condition.

Do I need to refrigerate postbiotics?

No. One of the key advantages of postbiotics is their stability. Unlike probiotics, postbiotics don't require refrigeration. They're shelf-stable and maintain their potency at room temperature, making them convenient for everyday use and travel.

Can I take this with other supplements?

Postbiotics are generally compatible with other supplements. However, for personalised advice about combining PURE with your specific supplement regimen, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to ensure there are no interactions.
