New season, new gut health goals. As the seasons shift, so does your body’s rhythm—and your gut microbiome is part of that change. Setting intentions around digestion, energy, and glucose balance isn’t just a wellness trend; it’s rooted in how your gut and microbes work together every day. When your microbiome is balanced, it supports better nutrient absorption and better digestion, which can leave you feeling more energized. And certain gut bacteria even help regulate glucose, reducing the spikes and dips that affect both metabolism and mood. Your microbiome is unique, which means your path to better gut health should be, too. Take our quick quiz (link in bio) to find the probiotic that’s the best fit for your goals this season.

Plugged up? You’re not alone. Constipation affects anywhere from one in six to one in ten people worldwide—and it’s more than just uncomfortable. It can cause painful abdominal cramping and disrupt your day. Luckily, we’ve got your back (and your bowels). If you're searching for probiotics for constipation relief, you're in the right place. Check out our blog (link in bio) to learn how probiotics can get things moving again. Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wVZZL

Probiotics are measured in more than one way—and it makes a big difference in how you understand their effectiveness. CFU, or colony forming units, tells you how many bacterial cells can grow on and make what’s called a colony (or a family, so to speak). It’s a common industry standard, but it may not account for how many of those cells survive the journey—through months of storage, shipping, and finally, through your stomach acid. Plus, it may not accurately estimate the number of viable cells, since clumps of live bacteria can grow into one colony. AFU, or active fluorescent units, takes it a step further. This measure uses advanced techniques to count how many living, metabolically active cells are still viable and ready to get to work in your gut. Think of it as the difference between counting seeds in a packet (CFU) versus knowing how many will actually sprout and grow into healthy plants (AFU). By focusing on AFU, you get a clearer picture of what’s alive, active, and capable of supporting your microbiome—right where it matters.

Great manufacturing people are hard to find — and Pendulum has been lucky to have some of the very best. As we transition our manufacturing out of the Bay Area, we’re saying goodbye to incredibly talented teammates who have built our GMP systems, improved processes, and supported each other with dedication and heart. If you’re hiring, I strongly recommend connecting with Jack Li, Ali Noori, Chris Purtill, Michael DeCosta, Connor Ison, Henry Morales, Harry Du, Ritika Diddi, Karina Lopez, Octavio Wagner and Osvaldo Wagner. They bring technical expertise, GMP rigor, and a collaborative, can-do attitude that lifts the whole team. Any organization would be fortunate to have them. Please reach out if you’d like introductions! #manufacturing #biotech #hiring #quality #GMP #talent
