From Gut to Greatness
Your gut contains over 10 trillion microorganisms and over 10,000 strains of bacteria. They influence energy metabolism, inflammation control, muscle repair, immune resilience, and even cognitive clarity. Performance is shaped by how your microbiome converts food into usable energy, clears metabolites, and primes the body for recovery. Recent research shows that elite athletes harbor unique microbial signatures not present in the average population. For example:
- Certain strains of Veillonella metabolize lactate, converting this product of intense exercise into useful molecules that can extend endurance.
- Strains of Akkermansia support gut barrier integrity and reduce systemic inflammation, crucial for faster recovery.
- Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus plantarum strains have been shown to improve nutrient absorption, enhance protein metabolism, and support mental focus under stress.
Craft Microbiome captures these discoveries and combines them with your personal DNA blueprint, turning the microbiome into a performance organ you can train, hack, and optimize.
Your microbiome is more than digestion. It’s a performance organ.
Decades of Science. Built for Performance.
Grounded in genomics, microbiology, and elite sport. The foundation of Craft Microbiome comes from two converging lines of research:
Athlete-Derived Microbiomes
In multiple studies, the gut microbiomes of marathoners, Olympic athletes, and world champions were sequenced and compared to those of the general population. Distinct patterns emerged. Certain strains that metabolize lactate, regulate inflammation, and enhance mitochondrial efficiency appeared consistently in elite athletes. These discoveries suggest that part of what makes champions different is literally encoded in their microbiome.
DNA-Based Personalization
Traditional probiotics take a one-size-fits-all approach. But genetic and microbiome research shows that no two athletes respond the same way. By sequencing both your host DNA and your gut microbiome, Craft identifies which beneficial strains your system is lacking, and formulates a precision blend designed to fill those gaps. The outcome is functional supplementation, not guesswork. Every capsule is backed by molecular data, designed to create measurable improvements in endurance, strength, recovery, and resilience.
The Edge Hidden in Your Gut
Champions carry unique microbiome signatures. Now you can too. Across studies, certain bacteria were enriched in Olympic-caliber and professional athletes:
Veillonella atypica
Breaks down lactic acid and converts it into propionate, a short-chain fatty acid that fuels muscle endurance.
Akkermansia muciniphila
Maintains gut lining integrity, reduces systemic inflammation, and is linked to better metabolic health.
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
Produces butyrate, an anti-inflammatory compound that promotes faster recovery.
Bifidobacterium breve & Lactobacillus plantarum
Enhance nutrient absorption, protein metabolism, and immune resilience.
When these strains are layered into your system and balanced against your genetic and microbiome profile, they can unlock the performance traits of champions:
Endurance
Metabolize fatigue-associated metabolites into fuel.
Recovery
Reduce inflammation and speed tissue repair.
Resilience
Strengthen immune defense during intense training cycles.
Focus
Improve gut-brain signaling for clarity under pressure.
Where World-Class Science Meets World-Class Sport
Craft Microbiome was founded by Anders Corbett, a Harvard-trained scientist and world champion athlete. His research uncovered that elite athletes carry microbiome advantages that contribute to their dominance. Today, Anders leads a team of experts redefining what human performance is capable of through microbiome science.
