Third Biome
Founder - Jayavardhini
Brand Category: Health Tech
Third Biome began with my own pain — fatigue, gut issues, hormonal imbalances — and the frustration of navigating a healthcare system that treated symptoms in silos.

Third Biome is India’s first postbiotic-led company, launching a science that’s rewriting the rules of chronic care. Powered by Microencapsulated Tributyrin, our clinically rooted formulas don’t just treat — they restore. But we didn’t stop at pills. We’re uniting doctors, protocols, data, and daily care into one seamless system. Because real healing doesn’t happen in parts. It happens when everything works together. This isn’t just a brand. It’s a healthcare revolution, made in India — for India — and soon, for the world. - www.thirdbiome.com
