A: Thanks so much for your question! Our DS-01® Daily Synbiotic capsule is size 00—that’s 0.917 inches long with a diameter of 0.322 inches, to be exact. We wouldn't recommend opening or tampering with the DS-01® Daily Synbiotic capsules in any way, as our ViaCap® is especially designed to ensure the bacteria stay alive through digestion and make it to the colon. That said, you may certainly try experimenting with how you may be able to tolerate the capsules—any method in which you can preserve the 2-in-1 ViaCap® capsule would be perfectly fine. Please reach out to care@seed.com with any additional questions!

DS-01® Daily Synbiotic has not been studied in individuals with diverticulosis specifically, but it may provide probiotic and prebiotic support for optimal gut function and overall health. In general, probiotics are considered safe for use in most individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, though we always suggest an informed conversation with a primary care provider who may advise on the addition of DS-01® given your health history and presenting symptoms.

A: Thank you for your question! The daily dosage for DS-01® is 2 capsules per day. We suggest taking the capsules on an empty stomach to limit exposure to digestive enzymes and bile salts, but if it’s more comfortable for you to take DS-01® before/after a meal or alongside food, we encourage you to choose the best method for you. Taking the capsules with water or juice is also absolutely fine. There is no best time of day to take them— we recommend whatever fits best into your routine!

A: DS-01® Daily Synbiotic is not formulated with traditional laxative or prokinetic agents—such as stimulant herbs like senna leaf—intended to trigger or “force” a bowel movement. Instead, DS-01® combines 24 scientifically studied probiotic strains with a novel, non-fiber prebiotic sourced from Indian pomegranate. Together, the formulation is designed to support digestive health, including occasional constipation and regularity.

A: Probiotics and prebiotics are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and do not pose any serious health concerns to the mother or infant based on research. A recent umbrella review [https://jogh.org/2024/jogh-14-04177] of meta-analyses and systematic reviews on the topic supports the finding that no serious adverse effects for mother or infant are associated with intake of probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics during pregnancy. Similarly, a recent systematic review [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589933323002902#:~:text=CONCLUSION,supplements%20to%20promote%20infant%20health.] supports the finding that no serious adverse effects for mother or infant are associated with intake of probiotics during lactation. However, as with any dietary supplement or new health protocol contemplated during pregnancy or lactation, we recommend speaking with your physician or obstetrician before adding DS-01® to your routine. For more information on our testing and safety protocols, or studies feel free to visit our DS-01® product page [https://seed.com/reference/syn-wk].

A: DS-01® Daily Synbiotic is clinically shown to support more frequent, regular bowel movements in healthy adults—meaning it may help support consistency over time. That said, DS-01® hasn’t been studied specifically for travel-related constipation and isn’t a replacement for a therapeutic intervention. Because everyone’s health is unique, we recommend connecting with your healthcare provider if you have questions about whether a specific product is right for you. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu18020255

A: DS-01® Daily Synbiotic isn’t intended to replace prescription medications or to treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure any condition/disease. Therefore, we are unable to comment on its safety, suitability, or efficacy in this context. For context, DS-01® is formulated to provide probiotic and prebiotic support for optimal gut function and overall health. Probiotics are generally considered safe for use in most individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, though we always suggest an informed conversation with a primary care provider who may advise on the addition of DS-01® given your health history and presenting symptoms.

A: DS-01® Daily Synbiotic is shelf stable when stored at room temperature or ambient temperatures of up to 79 °F (or 26 °C), and while many probiotics require refrigeration, DS-01® does not. That said, if your home is warmer than 79 °F for extended periods of time we do recommend considering refrigeration in a well-sealed container to avoid exposure to moisture. We also suggest keeping a close eye for moisture build-up if you do choose to refrigerate your capsules. For context, though many probiotics are sold in the refrigerated section at grocery stores and other retailers, refrigeration doesn’t necessarily indicate “freshness” or superiority. In fact, if a probiotic does not survive at ambient temperature outside of the refrigerator, it can reflect weak stability of the product, low viable organism count, or inadequate overages in formulation.
