Why We Created myBiome: A New Approach to Gut Health

At myBiome, our mission is simple: to make science-backed gut health accessible, practical, and easy to incorporate into everyday life.

As a dietitian, I've spent years working with people who want to improve their digestive health but often feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice. Many people are simply looking for a gentle, practical way to support their gut every day.

That's exactly why we created myBiome.

By combining Australian-grown sugarcane, years of scientific research, and Monash Low FODMAP Certification, we've created a product that helps people support their gut health with confidence.

It Started with Australian Virgin Sugarcane Fibre

The story behind myBiome began with a simple question:

What happens to sugarcane once the sugar is removed?

What we discovered was remarkable.

Using a gentle water-based process, Australian sugarcane can be transformed into a unique whole-plant prebiotic fibre while preserving the natural structure of the plant. The result is PhytoBiome®, the world's first whole-plant sugarcane prebiotic.

Unlike many fibres that are isolated from a single component of a plant, PhytoBiome® retains the complexity of the original plant material. This creates a fibre that behaves differently in the gut and provides a unique way to support the gut microbiome.

Today, PhytoBiome® is the ingredient that powers every myBiome product.

Why Monash Low FODMAP Certification Matters

Digestive health looks different for everyone.

With IBS, bloating, abdominal discomfort, or digestive sensitivity make it difficult to find a fibre supplement that feels comfortable to take consistently.

That's why obtaining Monash University Low FODMAP Certification was so important to us.

The Monash University Low FODMAP Certified™ trademark gives consumers confidence that a product has been independently assessed and certified, providing reassurance that myBiome can be incorporated into a low FODMAP lifestyle.

As a dietitian, I know how valuable that confidence can be. It allows people to focus less on what might trigger symptoms and more on building sustainable habits that support long-term gut health.

Supporting Your Gut, One Teaspoon at a Time

One of the things our customers love most about myBiome is how simple it is to use.

Simply add one teaspoon or sachet to your daily routine. Our unflavoured option mixes easily into foods and drinks without changing the taste, while our orange and vanilla flavours offer a convenient alternative for those who enjoy a little flavour.

Easy Ways to Enjoy myBiome

Because myBiome is designed to fit into your existing routine, supporting your gut health can become a simple habit rather than another item on your to-do list. Looking for inspiration? Here are some simple ways to add myBiome to your day:

  • Blend into a low FODMAP smoothie or protein shake
  • Stir into lactose free yoghurt, or a soup or salad dressing
  • Add to low FODMAP bakes and beverages

Where to buy

myBiome is available to purchase in Australia from the myBiome online store, as well as from pharmacies, health food and supplement retailers, and select dietitians and clinicians. Find a full list of stockists on the website: https://mybiomehealth.com/
