Zack Abbott, PhD microbiologist, founded ZBiotics because of the potential genetically engineered probiotics have to improve daily living. Our first product is a probiotic that helps you feel better the day after drinking alcohol. ZBiotics is leveraging its patented technology to create a whole new category of products that help our bodies deal with whatever modern life throws our way. It’s genetic engineering as it should be: transparent, responsible, and people first.

The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Each day, thousands of people – people just like you – provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, here at home and around the world. We roll up our sleeves and donate time, money and blood. We learn or teach life-saving skills so our communities can be better prepared when the need arises. We do this every day because the Red Cross is needed - every day.
