Our story
Introducing FUNbiotics.
A Family-Run Mission for Mind and Gut Health
At FUNbiotics, we’re on a mission to empower families with better health solutions, starting with the connection between the mind and gut. We’re a small, family-run business with big dreams of making wellness simple, effective, and fun for kids and adults alike.
The Inspiration Behind FUNbiotics
As parents, caregivers, or simply people who care about the next generation, we know the challenges of providing kids with nutritious options that they’ll actually enjoy. We saw a gap in the market for products that are not only effective but also safe, delicious, and easy to incorporate into daily routines.
That’s why we created FUNbiotics Superfood Probiotics Powder—a thoughtfully formulated product designed to support kids’ growing bodies and minds.
What Makes FUNbiotics Unique?
Family-Run, Heart-Driven: FUNbiotics is a labor of love, built on the values of family and care. When you choose FUNbiotics, you’re supporting a small business that truly cares about your family’s health.
Pediatric Expertise: Our formula is crafted by a pediatric GI doctor, ensuring it meets the highest standards of safety and efficacy for kids.
Holistic Health Focus: We’re not just about probiotics. Our formula includes adaptogens and functional mushrooms like moringa, tulsi, and lion’s mane to support a healthy nervous system and overall well-being.
No Sugar, No Compromises: Sweetened naturally with monk fruit, our chocolate-flavored powder is free from added sugars and artificial ingredients.
Easy to Use: Mix it into nutmilk, smoothies, oatmeal, or cereal—it’s that simple!
Educational Approach: With a QR code on every package, we provide access to educational materials to help families understand the importance of gut health and how to maintain it.
Why Gut Health Matters? Did you know that the gut is often called the “second brain”? The connection between the gut and the brain plays a crucial role in mood, focus, and overall health. By supporting gut health with probiotics, prebiotics, and adaptogens, we’re helping kids (and adults!) thrive both mentally and physically.
Our formula is also low FODMAP, making it gentle on sensitive tummies while still delivering powerful benefits.
What’s Next for FUNbiotics? We’re just getting started! While our flagship product—superfood probiotics powder—is our focus right now, we’re already dreaming up new ways to support your family’s health. From immune-boosting blends to healthy gummies, the future of FUNbiotics is all about innovation and care.
Join Us on This Journey
At FUNbiotics, we believe that health doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be simple, fun, and something the whole family can enjoy together.
We’re so excited to have you on this journey with us. Together, let’s make wellness a family affair—starting with the mind and gut.

FUNbiotics is sweetened with monk fruit, a natural fruit extract that’s been used for ages in Asia. Monk fruit is much sweeter than sugar, but contains zero sugar and no calories—so it gives our chocolate powder a yummy, kid-approved taste without any of the sugar rush or crash. Plus, monk fruit doesn’t affect blood sugar levels, making it a great choice for healthy families. Most kids can’t even tell the difference!
