Dr. Jeremy BurtonAs a scientist, I believe in intaking microbes from our food and environment everyday for health. Working with WiseHuman has given me opportunity to formulate probiotics and prebiotics from the ground up. Having a clean slate was important to me, allowing me to create products that have been made with purpose. This collaboration is just the beginning of the journey as the future holds even more promise: I am optimistic that the more we learn about the vast numbers of microbes that occupy our bodies, we will find many more microbes to include in future formulations.
