Supports the natural removal process of forever chemicals from the body
We’ve found that certain gut bacteria interact with PFAS, which could help us understand new ways to reduce their presence in the body.

What are PFAS?
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are a large group of human-made compounds used for their water-resistant, oil-resistant, and nonstick properties. PFAS are extremely persistent in the environment and the human body, meaning they do not break down easily and unfortunately accumulate for decades.
How toxic are PFAS?
PFAS compounds can accumulate in nature, plants, animals, and humans. According to the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), PFAS levels above 2 ng/ml in human blood serum are considered to have potential adverse health effects. The global societal costs, including remediation and healthcare of PFAS chemicals, amount to ~18 trillion per year.
How are we exposed?
PFAS contamination affects various population segments in different ways. Workers in chemical manufacturing, firefighting, textile production, and industries producing nonstick or water- and stain-repellent materials face the highest risk. For the general population, PFAS exposure primarily occurs through consuming contaminated water and food, as well as using consumer products containing these substances.
PFAS Removal
Cambiotics introduces a precision-formulated probiotic that supports the body’s natural process for removal of forever chemicals. Its specialized probiotic strains are designed to interact with PFAS molecules in the gut and support their removal through the digestive system.
Test your PFAS levels
You can test your PFAS levels in the blood to manage the levels. This test is brought to you by our partner, Quest Diagnostics present in 2300 centers in United states.

How many people are exposed to PFAS?
>99%
of people polluted with PFAS
45%
of US Tapwater contaminated with PFAS
9 PFAS
Proposed as hazardous constituents by EPA
The ‘forever chemicals’ in 99% of US population
Today, the family of compounds, commonly called PFAS or forever chemicals, is found not only in pots and pans but also in the blood of people around the world, including 99% of the US population. PFAS chemicals pollute water, do not break down, and remain in the environment and people for decades.
At least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of PFAS
This Unites States Geological Survey or USGS research marks the first time anyone has tested for and compared PFAS in tap water from both private and government-regulated public water supplies on a broad scale throughout the country. Those data were used to model and estimate PFAS contamination nationwide. This USGS study can help members of the public to understand their risk of exposure and inform policy and management decisions regarding testing and treatment options for drinking water.
Proposal to list nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds as resource conservation and recovery act hazardous constituents
On February 8, 2024, EPA proposed changes to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulations by adding nine particular per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, their salts, and their structural isomers, to its list of hazardous constituents in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 261 Appendix VIII. These nine PFAS are: Perfluorooctanoic acid, Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid, Hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid, Perfluorononanoic acid, Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid, Perfluorodecanoic acid, Perfluorohexanoic acid and Perfluorobutanoic acid.
