Seed Health

What Seed Health does

Seed Health, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated microbiome science company founded in 2016 that develops, markets, and sells clinically studied probiotic and synbiotic supplements for consumer digestive and broader wellness use. The company's core offering is the DS-01® Daily Synbiotic, a 24-strain synbiotic delivered via its proprietary ViaCap® dual-capsule technology that protects live probiotic strains through stomach acid and releases them in the colon. The portfolio extends to DM-02™ Daily Multivitamin, AM-02™ Energy + Focus, PM-02™ Sleep + Restore, and (as of May 2024) VS-01 for vaginal microbiome health, available individually or in bundles such as the Daily Essentials Duo.

The company monetizes primarily through a direct-to-consumer monthly subscription model priced at $34.99–$49.99 per SKU, augmented by retail distribution in all Target stores and all 450 Sprouts Farmers Market locations (both from September 2024) and Amazon marketplace. It claims the position of the #1 digestive health probiotic in the United States with over 1 million documented customer transformations and has reported over 500% revenue growth in the three years to 2025. A 350-participant, 40-state randomized controlled trial on DS-01 supports efficacy claims, and the company operates a SeedLabs research division focused on environmental microbiome applications alongside its human-health business.

Seed Health employs 51–100 people, is co-led by founders including co-CEO Ara Katz, and in May 2026 appointed its first Chief Marketing Officer to support a transition from premium DTC niche to mass-market scale. The company raised approximately $40 million in Series A financing in 2021 (Founders Fund, Artis Ventures, The Craftory, and others) and acquired Auggi in February 2021 to bolster in-house R&D capabilities.
