SAN DIEGO, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Persephone Biosciences, a pioneering biotech company focused on unlocking the potential of the microbiome to impact human health, today announced that more than 10,000 families have joined the waitlist for its upcoming infant and toddler synbiotic – less than six weeks after opening sign-ups.

“Parents know something is broken,” said Stephanie Culler, Ph.D., CEO and Co-founder of Persephone Biosciences. “For decades, babies in modern societies have been missing keystone gut microbes that are critical for immune system development. The overwhelming response to our waitlist shows just how many families are looking for safe, science-driven ways to fill that gap.”
Tomorrow, Persephone will formally unveil its Daily Synergistic Synbiotic, the first infant and toddler probiotic specifically designed for the modern microbiome. Built on the company’s landmark My Baby Biome study – the largest and most comprehensive U.S. infant microbiome study to date – the synbiotic is formulated to help restore balance to the gut microbiome during the critical first 1,000 days of life.
The product announcement follows the recent publication of Persephone’s findings in Communications Biology, a Nature Portfolio journal.
