2026 Probiota Pioneers are Microvitality, Totality Biosciences, My Myracle

These modern, early-stage start-ups will showcase their novel approaches to microbiome science, product growth and well being on the upcoming IPA World Congress + Probiota, going down Feb. 11 to 13, 2026 at The Conference Centre, Dublin.

Now in its twelfth yr, the annual convention brings collectively stakeholders from throughout the microbiome ecosystem—together with trade leaders, researchers, traders and regulatory specialists—for 3 days of insights, networking and collaboration.

The corporate’s core innovation is a non-invasive ingestible capsule that samples the small gut to supply correct microbiome and immune biomarker knowledge, unlocking insights beforehand inaccessible with conventional stool exams or invasive procedures resembling endoscopies.

Leveraging microbiome insights and clinical-grade knowledge, the corporate allows analysis companions and biopharma purchasers to drive precision medication, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic growth. The know-how is first being utilized to diagnose Small Gut Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), a situation affecting roughly 1.8 billion folks globally, typically undiagnosed or mismanaged. Past diagnostics, the platform allows affected person stratification for drug growth, personalised vitamin and immunomodulatory therapies, bridging the hole between preclinical analysis and medical outcomes.

Totality Biosciences

Totality Biosciences is the developer of an artificial biology platform that leverages genetically engineered vegetation to provide the total spectrum of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) from breast milk at limitless scale.

Leveraging breakthrough know-how developed at UC Berkeley by its co-founder and CSO Patrick Shih, the corporate is unleashing {the catalogue} of HMOs for a thriving microbiome from delivery and past, searching for to fight as we speak’s microbial manufacturing limits. Totality Biosciences is led by scientist-turned-entrepreneur and CEO Leila Strickland.

The corporate’s strategy reportedly has the potential to provide 5X extra HMO constructions for product growth in contrast with present R&D libraries. The know-how helps the 1000X capability enhance that’s required to handle the demand for HMOs that’s at the moment unhappy by incumbents, and its CSO’s peer-reviewed TEA revealed in Nature Meals helps a 10X discount in minimal promoting value in contrast with microbial manufacturing.

Totality Biosciences goals to democratize entry to full-spectrum HMOs and revolutionize human well being, from life-saving functions for pre-term infants to well being optimization throughout the lifespan.

Luvbiotics – Hampton Manufacturers Ltd

Luvbiotics, a UK-based probiotic oral care model, was developed by microbiologists to advertise a balanced oral microbiome for long-term well being. The corporate’s formulations mix scientifically validated probiotics and pure components with a harsh-free, free from SLS, parabens, and alcohol, to guard microbial variety and oral ecology.

Luvbiotics was developed to assist the pure steadiness of useful micro organism important to oral and systemic well-being., searching for to be the antidote to antibacterial merchandise that “kill all the things”.

The rising product vary, together with probiotic toothpastes, mouthwashes, and lozenges, meets world client demand for pure, microbiome-positive care. Luvbiotics is increasing globally by training, skilled partnerships, and client belief gained although efficacy and practical advantages customers are reporting.
