You are home to a community of 38,000,000,000,000 bacteria (plus trillions of fungi, viruses, and archaea) that are reshaping our understanding of human health. It's your non-human half, that makes you human. And you can't live without it. Seed² is an ecosystem of scientists, doctors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and storytellers, who share a singular vision to improve human and planetary health through the microbiome. We combine human clinical research, proprietary technology, and innovations in biofermentation, stabilization, and testing, to develop a consumer health pipeline for the whole-body biome³—and to set a new standard for bacteria.

² Seeding is the process by which you receive your biological mother’s beneficial bacteria at birth. These first microbial partners form the foundation of your microbiome and immune system.
³ The majority of these bacteria and microbes reside in your gut, which is why you may have heard of the term ‘gut health’. But beyond your gastrointestinal tract, you also have communities of vastly different species that reside in areas like your nose, your groin, and your skin. Some microbes prefer to live on the cool, dry skin of your knee. Others gravitate towards the warm, wet darkness of your mouth. They are tiny ecosystems as different from each other as the rainforest and the desert.
