The Science
The world’s first genetically engineered probiotics: purpose-built to improve daily life.
We start with a natural probiotic bacteria you already eat every day, called Bacillus subtilis. We then used a process naturally honed by bacteria to insert the instructions for making ALDH into the bacteria’s genome...
Fiber plays an important role in our health but most of us aren’t getting enough fiber in our modern diets. We need 25-30 grams of fiber per day but about 95% of us don’t meet that goal...
Alcohol produces acetaldehyde
When we drink, our bodies break down alcohol into an unwanted byproduct called acetaldehyde.
That byproduct is largely responsible for how we feel the day after drinking.
Acetaldehyde builds up in the gut
Acetaldehyde forms in two places: the liver and the gut.
The liver produces an enzyme that removes it quickly. But the gut does not. So acetaldehyde builds up and lingers, filtering out into the rest of our body over time.
Pre-Alcohol breaks it down
Pre-Alcohol helps our gut catch up by temporarily adding a probiotic that can break down acetaldehyde.
This probiotic – Bacillus subtilis ZB183™ – has been engineered to produce the same type of enzyme as our liver: one that digests acetaldehyde.
Proudly built with genetic engineering
The ZBiotics team invented the probiotic in Pre-Alcohol – Bacillus subtilis ZB183™ – using genetic engineering.
Our approach to biotechnology is safety-first and grounded in the strictest ethical principles. We build responsibly or we don’t build at all. Pre-Alcohol undergoes rigorous quality testing at every stage, and we transparently publish our findings on our Quality page which can be found here.
How It Works
Other products are different mixes of the same 5+ off-the-shelf vitamins and plant extracts.
We took a different approach.
Using biotechnology, we identified a major unwanted byproduct of drinking alcohol—acetaldehyde—and engineered a probiotic to break it down the same way your liver does.

How to use
When to use
Modern genetic engineering, done responsibly
Innovation should be responsible, transparent, and trustworthy. That’s why we spent years developing the world’s first genetically engineered probiotic with rigorous testing and scientific integrity. Since launching in 2019, we’ve earned the confidence of thousands by delivering real, research-backed results.
