Most men don’t talk about feeling run-down; they just get on with it.
But what if that slow loss of energy, focus and drive wasn’t inevitable?
Enter microbz Men. Created by a man, for men to help you feel yourself again.
Microbz Men began, like many of our best ideas, at home. Our founder Jeff, watched his own father and two brothers each face prostate cancer. Those experiences left a mark, not only of concern, but of curiosity.
“I wanted to understand why men’s health seems to decline so suddenly, and whether there was something simple and natural we could do to stay well for longer,” says Jeff.
With his 15 years of experience in working with microbes and fermentation, he started experimenting. The goal wasn’t to make another capsule or tablet; it was to work with the invisible microbial world that supports life from soil to stomach and find the right herbs that would support men to get back their vitality.
The result is microbz Men: a living, fermented probiotic designed to support men’s vitality, digestion, energy and prostate health.
Why does men’s health deserve more attention?
While women’s health has rightly gained visibility, from periods and pregnancy to perimenopause and menopause, men’s wellbeing often goes overlooked and unspoken. Yet the numbers tell their own story:
• 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime (Prostate Cancer UK, 2024).
• More than half of men over 50 experience urinary symptoms linked to prostate enlargement (Ng, Leslie & Baradhi, 2024).
• Testosterone levels gradually decline from the mid-30s, influencing energy, muscle tone, mood and libido (NHS, 2022).
At the same time, digestive discomfort, bloating and fatigue are becoming everyday complaints. Science increasingly shows these aren’t separate problems but connected, because the gut is the body’s crucial control centre for inflammation, hormones and immunity.
The gut–prostate connection
Emerging research suggests that the gut microbiome, the trillions of microbes living in our digestive tract, can influence prostate health, hormone balance and even how our bodies process and clear oestrogen-like compounds.
When microbial diversity declines (through age, diet, antibiotics or stress), inflammatory compounds can rise, subtly affecting tissues throughout the body, including the prostate. Some studies show that men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have distinct gut microbiota profiles compared with healthy men, and that restoring microbial balance may help reduce chronic inflammation and support normal urinary flow (Ng, Leslie & Baradhi, 2024).
In other words, healthy gut, healthy flow.
Designed to work with your body, not against it
Microbz Men isn’t a pill or powder. It’s a living liquid, brewed in small batches using soil-derived microbes, 23 herbs including saw palmetto and golden rod, and three essential minerals, including zinc, magnesium.
Each 15 ml shot delivers billions of live microbes. Being soil-based, it is a diverse multi-strain product. With a pH of 3.2 it is strong enough to survive stomach acid and gentle enough to integrate with your gut.
The added herbs and minerals were meticulously chosen to support whole-system wellbeing:
• Zinc and magnesium: contribute to normal testosterone levels and energy metabolism.
• Saw palmetto and golden rod: traditionally used for urinary and prostate support.
• Adaptogenic botanicals: help the body adapt to stress and maintain steady energy.
Taken first thing in the morning, it becomes a simple, steady ritual; a small daily act of care that sets the tone for the day ahead.
A morning ritual, not a regimen
One of the most striking things we heard from the first group of men who tried microbz Men was how naturally it fit into their routine.
“I’m not usually good at taking things regularly,” said one man, “But with this I wake up thinking, I’d better take it. It’s become a morning ritual, a quick swig by the kettle. It’s not for pleasure, but I miss it when I don’t have it. It feels rejuvenating, like taking a few years off.”
Others described it as a tonic for resilience, something that keeps them well rather than something they take because they’re unwell.
“Since being on the men’s microbes, those intestinal issues have significantly subsided, if not disappeared,” shared another man. “For me, it’s about reclaiming control and relief.”
A health practitioner noticed more systemic effects: “The heart has better circulation, the gut feels warmer, and the lymphatic flow improves. The biggest thing was a quietness and clarity, and a relaxing focus. Men should take care of the prostate and keep testosterone high. Start early, before it’s gone.”
What the science and the stories share
When we mapped these experiences against the research, the parallels were clear. Men described feeling “ease,” “clarity,” and “quietness,” which mirrors what studies show happens when inflammation decreases and microbial balance returns.
Men who once planned life around the loo said they were sleeping through the night. That, too, aligns with evidence that supporting the gut microbiome can influence urinary frequency and circadian rhythm.
Behind the technical language, what they were really saying was simple:
“I feel myself again.”
That’s the heart of microbz Men. Not just better digestion, but steadier days, calmer minds, and the return of quiet confidence.
Crafted, not manufactured
Microbz Men follows the same soil-to-stomach philosophy that guides everything we make.
Rather than isolating strains in a lab, we ferment a living ecosystem. We gather microbes from our soil in Wiltshire and ferment them four times, keeping them warm and looking after them.
This living fermentation yields a naturally complex community that can adapt within the gut environment, supporting the body’s own microbial resilience. It’s this whole-system synergy that sets microbz apart from single-strain or freeze-dried probiotics.
And because it’s brewed in small batches, every bottle carries the same care and craft that’s been part of our story for nearly two decades.
A different kind of strength
In our research, the language that resonated most with men wasn’t about fighting or fixing. It was about steadiness, control, and feeling at full strength again.
That’s why we talk about whole-system steadiness rather than “anti-ageing,” and point to “morning confidence” instead of promises or performance. The men who tried it didn’t want medical claims; they wanted clarity, autonomy, and honesty.
Pair it with good habits: balanced meals rich in fibre, regular gentle exercise and time outdoors. These are the simple lifestyle choices that feed the microbes that help you to live well.
From our family to yours
“Men’s health has been silent for too long,” says Jeff. “Just as the menopause conversation has empowered women to understand their bodies, we want men to feel confident taking ownership of their health, starting with something as simple as a morning shot.”
Your body is your greatest ally, so why wouldn’t you give it the best chance to thrive?
Microbz Men is our invitation to do exactly that. It’s not a cure or a quick fix. It’s a daily partnership with nature, a way to work with your body’s rhythms with significant benefits for health, energy and productivity.
