Next Generation Probiotics

Unlocked is introducing a new class of probiotics that will transform the way we think about microbial supplements. Most products are a multi-strain blend for general gut health. Unlocked is shifting the probiotic paradigm with a single strain probiotic, thoughtfully designed to perform a specific task.

Starting with you in mind, we select a biological compound that should be maintained at a healthy level. Through a rigorous literature and research review, we identify a probiotic strain with the potential to break down this compound. Our scientists unlock the probiotic by activating and amplifying its power to degrade.

Our proprietary formulation delivers a shelf stable probiotic that switches on when it reaches the intestine.

Strain UA158

For maintaining healthy uric acid levels

Our flagship Unlocked Probiotic, Strain UA158 for Uric Acid, is a next generation liquid probiotic designed to consume uric acid. Uric acid is a well characterized metabolic waste product known to be detrimental to health and wellness. Our Unlocked Probiotics convert uric acid into byproducts that are easily eliminated. Recommended as a daily supplement, Strain UA158, can help support healthy uric acid levels.

Unlocked follows the industry best practices established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) when evaluating the safety of our probiotics. Our probiotics are evaluated by a third party laboratory for safety, as required for a New Dietary Ingredient, before being available for human use.

Unlocked Probiotics are designed as a daily probiotic and for the greatest benefit should be taken every day. However if you do miss a day, no big deal just resume your routine the next day.

No! Unlocked Probiotics are designed to be stable at room temperature for many months. No need for refrigeration or freezer. So you can put them in the best place for you to build your routine or take them with you on the go!

Uric acid is created as your body breaks down the food you eat. As an antioxidant, uric acid can support a healthy functioning body. However, when our uric acid levels are elevated, the beneficial aspects of uric acid are overcome by the negative ones.

Our scientist unlocked Strain UA158’s ability to produce an enzyme called uricase. Early humans lost the ability to create uricase as a survival mechanism when food was scarce. The uricase our probiotics make converts uric acid to allantoin, a compound our bodies easily eliminate.

Currently, there are no other probiotics available that target uric acid as strain UA158 does. Some probiotics have the potential to break down uric acid, however the ability is inactive. Strain UA158 is the only probiotic that has unlocked this ability.

Multi strain probiotic blends are great for supporting general gut health. They introduce a variety of probiotic types, giving you a diverse microbiome community for general gut health.

With a single strain, our scientists are able to focus on understanding how that particular probiotic works. This allows us to deliver a thoughtfully designed probiotic for a specific task.

Unlocked is developing another probiotic that breaks down oxalic acid, also known as oxalate. Humans naturally make oxalic acid, and we get it from our food. A small amount of oxalate is needed to help digest food, but excessive oxalate is not ideal for optimal health.
