Genetic engineering has enabled scientists to create a specialized probiotic strain, *Bacillus subtilis* ZB183™, designed to break down a toxic alcohol byproduct. This has led many to question: is ZBiotics real, and can it truly help with the next-day effects of drinking?

In 2024, a study published in *PLoS ONE* detailed the engineering and validation of ZBiotics' probiotic strain, engineered to produce an enzyme that breaks down acetaldehyde. This initial, peer-reviewed lab research provides a foundational scientific basis for the product's claimed mechanism.

Over 90% of ZBiotics internal test subjects reported a perceived benefit from their product in a blinded study, but is ZBiotics worth the money for the average consumer? This article delves into the science, cost, and real-world results to provide a complete picture.

According to ZBiotics' own safety testing, the product is fully FDA-compliant for safety and is not expected to have any lasting effect on your body or change your microbiome. However, questions remain for consumers considering daily use. Is ZBiotics safe to take daily, especially given its engineered nature?

As the world's first consumer product featuring a genetically engineered probiotic, ZBiotics contains a very specific strain engineered for a unique purpose. So, what probiotic is in ZBiotics? The core ingredient in its flagship Pre-Alcohol product is *Bacillus subtilis* ZB183™, specifically created to tackle an unwelcome byproduct of alcohol consumption.

According to the company’s in-house blinded study, ZBiotics' pre-alcohol probiotic delivered a statistically significant 40% decrease in self-reported hangover symptom severity. But beyond company claims, do ZBiotics actually work for the average consumer, and what does independent science say about its mechanism?
