WHAT IT DOES
A targeted bacteriophage that selectively kills harmful gut bacteria without touching the good ones.
DOES IT WORK?
Bacteriophage therapy is a fascinating concept with a long history in Eastern Europe. Phages are extremely selective, only killing specific bacterial strains. But supplement-grade phage cocktails have very limited clinical data compared to medical phage therapy. The science is promising but early.

Meta-analyses
👍 Strong evidence. Most claims hold up under scrutiny.
Bacteriophages inject DNA into target bacteria, hijacking cellular machinery to produce more phages, lysing the bacterial cell. Highly specific to target strain. Does not affect mammalian cells or non-target bacteria.
