A nutrition journalist swapped her usual probiotic for Emily English's Epetōme and tested it for a month. The reviewer, who has taken probiotics for years, was curious about Epetōme's 'duo cap technology', which claims to deliver 50 billion live strains to the gut more effectively than standard capsules.
Epetōme, created by nutritionist Emily English, uses a capsule with an outer and inner core. The inner core protects probiotic strains from stomach acid, while the outer core releases prebiotic FOS, vitamin D, zinc and biotin. English says this technology is 30 times more effective at ensuring bacteria survive compared to standard capsules.
The reviewer previously used Seed Daily Synbiotic, shipped from the US at £47.78 per month. Epetōme costs £54.99 for 30 capsules, but only one capsule is needed daily versus Seed's two. Both brands offer subscribe-and-save options to reduce costs.
After taking Epetōme for one month, the reviewer noted improvements in digestion and overall wellbeing, though she cautioned that results may vary. She emphasised that expert-backed supplements with clinical trial data are more likely to be effective than those relying on marketing or celebrity endorsements.
