# Wellness Category Expansions Seed Launches Co-Biotics, Expanding Beyond Probiotics By Georgia Wray Norsten | Published 2025-10-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobiotics References: [seed](https://seed.com/)  'Co-Biotics' are officially making their debut today, as Ara Katz and Seed introduce a new category of formulations that act on both human and microbial pathways. Unlike probiotics, Co-Biotics contain no live strains; instead, they combine vitamins, minerals, and functional compounds engineered to work across the body and microbiome. Seed’s first lineup includes '[DM-02™ Daily Multivitamin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobiotic),' 'AM-02™ Energy + Focus,' and 'PM-02™ Sleep + Restore,' each delivered through the brand’s ViaCap® capsule-in-capsule system, which separates bioavailable actives for absorption in the upper GI from microbiome-targeted compounds delivered to the colon. The products will be available online at Seed.com and [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awardwinning-probiotic) beginning 9/30, followed by a nationwide rollout at [Target](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-made-wellblends) on 10/15. Seed has become synonymous with microbiome innovation, and Co-Biotics mark its most ambitious category expansion yet. Backed by preclinical validation and ongoing human trials, the launch positions Seed at the intersection of supplements and microbiome health.
