Persephone Biosciences is a team of scientists, researchers, and physicians dedicated to restoring and reinvigorating the human gut microbiome.

Our Inspiration

In Greek mythology,
Persephone is the goddess
of growth, love, and fertility.

She’s a symbol of the re-emergence of life each spring. She is also associated with the pomegranate, an acknowledgment of the fruit’s healthful properties, now known to have prebiotic effects.

Ultimately, we chose the name Persephone because we are here to return life to the gut and bring good health into bloom for everyone.

Our Mission

Our mission is to establish the standard
of care for the human gut microbiome.

We are accomplishing this through our pioneering research, the development of effective and clinically proven products, and by advancing the industry with our platform technology.

Our Research

Our latest study –
ARTEMIS – explores
how our synergistic
synbiotic impacts the
microbiome and the gut.
