Editor’s Note: I’m at a point in life where I need to improve my lifestyle – promote whole body health, save for a house, and even travel. The best way to do this is to find ways to save money. The first action that came to mind was limiting my subscriptions. I mean, do I really need a FabFitFun box or Pickle of the Month subscription? No. So, I focused on beefing up my savings and staying healthy. To find out why Seed’s DS-01® is my unexpected essential for a healthy gut and the subscription I’m keeping, keep reading.
My subscription addiction was totally out of control. I had more subscriptions than I can count. Honestly, some of them I’ve never even used. So I did a brutal subscription purge — and I mean brutal. Spunky Leggings Club? Gone. Vegan Tee-Shirts? Done. But then I came to my Seed’s subscription I thought this is a keeper.
For context — and probably TMI — I’ve always struggled with gut issues. But lately, it’s gotten worse and it’s really starting to affect my life. When dining out, I have to avoid carbs and any dish with dairy, which completely eliminates carbonara and my all-time favorite, Pizza. And heartburn can keep me awake after nights on the town.
Seed is a microbiome science company that has leveled up probiotics in order to support whole-body health. I originally went with their DS-01® Daily Synbiotic because Seed had a fantastic new customer offer that I couldn’t pass up.
Turns out that Seed is a synbiotic, a probiotic, and a prebiotic formulated with select probiotic strains. These strains work to promote regularity, provide relief from occasional bloating, support healthy stool quality, and keep digestive discomfort at bay.
DS-01® is formulated with 24 clinically and scientifically studied probiotic strains, an innovative prebiotic that’s non-fermenting. And thanks to its proprietary 2-in-1 ViaCap® Delivery technology, the DS-01® capsule places a probiotic capsule inside a prebiotic capsule to protect the probiotics throughout digestion, ensuring that it gets to where it needs to. It has a 100% survivability rate because it’s engineered to sustain oxygen, moisture, and heat.
I love that the DS-01® goes through such rigorous testing. Their board of scientists, doctors, and researchers ensure that formulations are backed by years of scientific research. And, yes, each undergoes third-party testing. Survivability, potency, purity, contaminants, and over 20+ food allergens are also tested, so I can be confident in knowing precisely what goes into my body.
Seed’s sustainable Welcome Kit includes a refillable glass jar, a glass travel vial, and a 30-day supply — 60 capsules. Seed recommended I take one capsule a day for a few days before moving up to two daily. The DS-01® doesn’t require refrigeration, so I keep it on my kitchen counter and actually remember to take it every morning.
The first few days after DS-01® I noticed that I was more regular — like a lot. And now that I’m at the 4-week mark, my stomach discomfort has just about vanished. I can eat Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream for a special treat!
I’ve seen a massive improvement in my gut health which kicked off a domino effect — in a good way, of course. In addition to better regularity, I’m noticing less bloating and was even told that my skin has a fresh glow to it. What a compliment!
After doing a ton of my own research into DS-01®, I noticed that other customers feel the same:
“The subscription makes it so easy to get this into your routine.”
– Sophila
“I love the fact that science is such a big part of the brand. I trust it!”
– Lilly
“The BEST!!! Good price point, subscription process, and amazing results.”
– Anna
BONUS: This month, Seed is offering 15% off to all new customers, making it even easier and more affordable to have better gut and skin health.
After the first month, I automatically receive my refills. I simply add my 30-day supply to the glass jar that’s right next to the coffee pot.
I’m still chipping away at my subscription addiction but I’m not giving up my DS-01®. It’s the unexpected essential to my daily routine. Subscribe to Seed today and start your better health journey!
