Targeted Probiotics Designed for the Asian Gut

Good health starts with gut health. Gut health can go wrong with drugs like antibiotics, diet, stress, traveling - and lead to downstream health effects. Probiotics are a simple way to optimise your gut health despite everyday changes.

Most probiotics can look similar on the shelf. The real differences are usually (1) how well the strains are protected during storage, and (2) how thoughtfully the formulation is designed.

STORAGE: Probiotics are living, delicate ingredients. Heat, light, moisture and oxygen can reduce potency over time. Many probiotic strains are sensitive to oxygen, because they’re adapted to conditions that are similar to the gut, which is relatively low in oxygen. AMILI uses amber glass bottles and nitrogen-flushed bottling to reduce light and oxygen exposure, helping protect the strains until you consume them.

FORMULATION: This is where AMILI is different. Most probiotic brands are built mainly from Western studies or Western-skewed datasets, because that’s what’s widely available. AMILI is one of the few companies with a proprietary multi-ethnic Asian gut microbiome database, which allows us to design formulations starting from Asian gut profiles - rather than adapting Western formulations and hoping they translate. We use this to select strains that are most relevant for Asian consumers, and combine them in deliberate ratios instead of relying on “more strains = better” strain stacking.

Each product contains a defined blend of strains and supporting ingredients listed on the product page/label. More strains doesn’t automatically mean better. A product with many strains can dilute the dose of each strain and isn’t necessarily more effective. In addition, including too many strains can lead to competition - where strains compete for the same nutrients in the gut - which may blunt the intended effect. AMILI uses a deliberate number of strains and tuned ratios to support specific functions, focusing on what’s intentional and useful rather than what looks impressive on a label.

If you've taken the AMILI Gut Health Test, follow the formulation (1-4) recommended in your report. These formulations are targeted belnds designed for different gut profiles, differing in strain combinations and ratios. RESTORE is designed specifically for use during and after antibiotics.

The strains and prebiotic components in AMILI’s probiotics have been carefully selected to ensure relevance to the lifestyles and diets in Asia. These gut microbiome profiles have been shown to differ from those commonly observed in the West. AMILI’s formulations are informed by our proprietary multi-ethnic Asian gut microbiome database – one of the largest of its kind – and supported by findings from published scientific literature.

Yes - you can buy AMILI’s probiotics without taking a Gut Health Test.

If you want the most targeted approach, the Gut Health Test helps you understand your gut profile so you’re not guessing. It can guide you to the most suitable formulation for your needs and gives you a clear baseline to track changes over time. We also recommend re-testing after 6 months to see how your gut has responded to the probiotics.

AMILI’s probiotics are manufactured with a trusted GMP-certified partner in Thailand. Our manufacturing partner has over 30 years of experience in fermentation and probiotic production. Keeping production in Southeast Asia also helps us stay closer to ingredients and supply chains relevant to Asian diets, while maintaining strict quality standards to protect potency and consistency.

RESTORE is designed to be taken during antibiotics and continued after you finish - ideally completing a one‑month course as directed on the label. For best practice, take it at a different time from your antibiotic dose (for example, a few hours apart), unless your doctor advises otherwise.
