Frequently Asked Questions

Your gut is unique, and its tolerance is unique too. While it is possible to take multiple formulations at the same time, it is important to gauge how you feel. Some individuals need a higher dosage to feel any noticeable differences, while others are more sensitive and require much lower doses.

We suggest your formulation to be stored at 4°C or 20°F-25°F in the refrigerator. If stored in the fridge, your formulation will last up to one year. If stored at room temperature, your formulation will last up to one month. If you are traveling and do not have access to a refrigerator, your formulation will still be fine up to one month at room temperature.

Part of the process of Floré is to analyze your gut composition and record which microbes your body has in both ample and deficient supply. Based on that data, in conjunction with your personal health and diet survey answers and the growing understanding of the microbiome, our scientific team designs a probiotic and prebiotic mix (synbiotic) to support your gut microbiome becoming stronger and healthier.

Prebiotics are beneficial non-digestible food ingredients. They include human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breastmilk, fibers in plant foods (FOS, GOS, XOS, inulin), and polyphenols in fruit. Many can also be taken as supplements.

According to the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), probiotics are “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”

While probiotics have been commonly sold as dietary supplements for decades, not all probiotics are created equal.

Floré creates personalized and customized probiotics backed by science and using quality ingredients to meet your specific needs.

Potential side effects are symptoms associated with die-off, constipation, diarrhea, or discomfort during the first 2-3 weeks of adjusting to a new probiotic. These symptoms could be mild and tolerable for some cases and subside after 2-3 weeks. Some people are unable to tolerate a higher dose and we recommend taking a fewer number of formulations at a time.

We offer capsules and powder form. Capsules are ideal for adults and older children who can swallow pills since they are coated to survive the stomach acid. Powder is mixed with a liquid or soft food and is reserved for infants, children, or adults who can not swallow capsules.

You may open the pill and mix the powder with a beverage of choice or soft food. For adults, there will be higher efficacy in the capsule form.

From mood-support to metabolism boosters, the probiotic strains in your capsule are selected based on successful symptom relief. After extensive product purity analysis and testing, we combined the supportive strains to deliver them directly to your microbiome. All formulas contain natural ingredients with no artificial additives, making it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions and sensitivities commonly associated with ASD. These are set formulas and cannot be adjusted.

Behind these formulas is a comprehensive study in conjunction with scientists at Arizona State University that highlights the gut-brain-axis in Autism Spectrum Disorder. By delving deep into the microbiome, we uncovered key differences in the microbial composition and microbial metabolic capacity of individuals experiencing specific, ASD-associated symptoms. By combining this data with informational survey responses gathered from participants, we gathered ingredients that provide symptom relief for people experiencing ASD.

A science-backed probiotic supplement designed to support mood regulation and overall well-being of individuals with ASD. New research suggests a significant link between gut health and brain function. By enhancing gut health, this probiotic mix aims to improve focus, reduce irritability, and stabilize mood variations associated with ASD.

Based on our ASD research study, this probiotic blend is meticulously designed to support metabolic regulation and has the potential to modulate the functional potential of the ASD gut microbiome. This probiotic blend aims to enhance thiamine (Vitamin B1) levels, increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and target pathogenic bacteria, addressing key areas that affect cognitive and physical health in individuals with ASD.

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) (or Next Generation Sequencing [NGS]) gives us the highest resolution picture of your gut microbiome, helping us to not only identify the microbes present in your microbiome down to the species and strain level, but also see their relative abundances compared to each other. We use this data, along with the goals and other information outlined in your Health Survey, to formulate your Floré Personalized Probiotics.

These formulations can be taken anytime, but we suggest taking one pill every morning at least 20 minutes before breakfast. We recommend taking a pill with water.

All customers are different in how they plan to manage their microbiome. Some customers feel a different in as short a time frame as the first week of low dose. Others may have to wait 3 weeks to feel a difference. After at least 6 months of taking Floré, we encourage a retest to see how your microbiome has changed on Floré and to provide the formulations team with new data to take into consideration for your next custom formulation.

You do not need to change your current routine. In fact, we prefer you continue your current supplement regimen. However, please wait at least 14 days after finishing any antibiotics and do not consume alcohol for 24 hours before testing. Both may skew your microbiome data.
