Introducing Humiome® B2

Humiome® B2 with Microbiome Targeted Technology™ (MTT™) offers patented prebiotic-like benefits for the gut microbiome. It enhances gut health, immunity, mental well-being, and metabolic health. Unlike typical solutions, it releases ~90% of its vitamin B2 in the lower intestine and colon, supporting a nourished gut environment. This promotes bacterial metabolism, resilience, and shields against oxidative stress.
