ZBiotics Sugar-to-Fiber

The Probiotic That Turns Sugar Into Fiber  

ZBiotics® Sugar-to-Fiber is genetically engineered to turn sugar into fiber in your gut. It produces an enzyme called levansucrase, which makes fiber using sugar from your diet, gently and all day long — supporting microbiome diversity and gut health.

The problem? Eating enough healthy fiber is tough. The modern American diet leaves most of us fiber-deficient, missing out on one of the most under-appreciated elements of nutrition.

The solution? This patented, genetically engineered probiotic (B. subtilis ZB423™) converts a small amount of the sugar you eat every day into fiber. Specifically, it creates levan—a rare prebiotic fiber that's nearly impossible to get from typical Western foods.

What makes this special? Unlike typical probiotics that simply add bacteria or fiber supplements that only deliver pre-formed fiber, Sugar-to-Fiber is engineered to create fiber directly in the gut from the sugar you consume.

How Sugar to Fiber Works:

When you mix Sugar-to-Fiber into your drink, the probiotic bacteria start as dormant endospores that safely travel through your stomach to your intestines, where they "wake up" and produce the levansucrase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down table sugar (sucrose) into glucose and fructose, then strings the fructose molecules into long chains of levan fiber. 

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are a byproduct of dietary fiber fermentation. Basically, SCFAs are produced when the microbes in the gut break down prebiotic fiber. SCFAs are small organic compounds that are the driving factor behind the benefits associated with fermentable fibers.

What You Can Expect:

The benefits of a healthier microbiome for your body are vast and vary from person to person:

• Better immune function
• Improved gut-lining integrity
• Improved bowel function
• Increased short-chain fatty acid synthesis
• Better nutrient utilization
• Improved energy
• Psychological benefits

Sugar-to-Fiber provides exactly what makes your microbiome healthier: more soluble fiber, increased fiber variety, gradual delivery throughout the day, and smart diversion of intestinal sugar.

How to Use ZBiotics Sugar-to-Fiber:

Mix one stick pack into any beverage or food. Works great in coffee, smoothies, yogurt, or just water. The benefits are greatest when consumed daily for consistent, lasting improvements to your gut microbiome.
