The story of Jetson

We’re on a mission to make gut health understandable and accessible to all.

Your gut is the control center of your body. If it’s out of whack, almost everything can suffer. Got gas? Bloated? Need to burn more fat? In a bad mood? Sick of getting sick? Hey ladies, are you itchy…. down there? Enter Jetson to send an army of magical helpers into your body to help you feel alive inside.

Let’s back it up before we dive deep.

First, the microbiome, or what the cool kids call the gut, is made up of trillions of bacteria that live in our intestinal tract. It is the largest endocrine organ that produces at least 30 hormone-like compounds. In fact, 95% of our serotonin, our happy hormone, is made in the gut. So in addition to helping our digestion and immunity, the gut impacts our mental health, hormones, and skin. Research over the last 15-20 years on the gut and its impact on our body has been profound. It has shown a healthy microbiome can help boost immunity, mental health and the body’s natural inflammatory response.


So now that you get why we’re obsessed with keeping our gut healthy, here’s HOW we do it for you. Jetson’s army of mighty probiotic helpers work their as*es off in your body to help you feel alive inside EVERY SINGLE DAY.

How are we different from the other guys?

We’re so glad you asked! Gut health is not a one-size fits all thing. Think about it. Does everyone use the same shampoo? No. It takes different ingredients to keep curly, thick hair healthy vs. straight, fine hair. Just like shampoo, there are different probiotic strains that help to increase your metabolism vs. strains that help fight yeast infections. We worked with top doctors, scientists and nutritionists to formulate the best probiotic strains, in the right CFU amounts and added in extra vitamins and nutrients to help you with a wide variety of issues. These aren’t just probiotics, they’re probiotics PLUS.

What are probiotics plus?

Our Skin formulation combines clinically studied powerhouse bacterial strains plus essential vitamins found in leading topical skin applications like vitamins A, C, and E. Finally, we blended in an antioxidant found in organic spinach called Solarplast, to reduce the free radicals that can be so damaging to one’s skin*.

So what about CFU count?

Science proves that bigger is not always better. Your gut doesn’t need 40 billion CFUs of generic probiotic strains. It needs the right amount of the right strain that the latest studies show will help your health goals. Think of your gut like a party you’re hosting. You could invite over 100 acquaintances with a lot of wildcards (100 billion CFUs of generic probiotic strains). Or 15 of your closest friends (15 billion CFUs of the right, high quality strains). Which one puts you at ease and ensures a great party? Easy answer.

Founder stories

The drive to create Jetson was very different for both of our founders which goes to show just how many aspects of our bodies the gut impacts.

Kiley

Kiley is a mom of two boys. She had to deliver them both via c-section. Research has shown that the microbiome of babies born vaginally vs c-section is drastically different. When a baby isn’t exposed to the mother’s birth canal, they are at higher risk of allergies, asthma, digestive issues and a compromised immune system.


Upon learning this, Kiley became determined to get her kids on not only a probiotic, but the right probiotic. She studied research and learned what made a great product: Multiple strains, Vitamin D included, no sugar or gummy casing that cause cavities, and one that agrees with their tummies. Kiley struggled to find a product that checked all of the boxes.


Kiley partnered with her pediatrician to formulate Superkids, an all-in-one probiotic designed for all kids to balance their microbiome.


Kiley is the force behind Superkids, our kids probiotic.

Stefan

Stefan’s story is completely different but equally as personal. He was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007. At the time, he was burning the candle at both ends with a high powered job and a two year old daughter. He turned to standard western medicine to ‘fix him’ and while the treatments helped the MS he felt terrible - brain fog, exhaustion, and pain that seemed to go on and on and required a variety of pharmaceutical meds each day! He could not live like this. He turned to a world-renowned functional medicine doctor and NYT best-selling author Dr. Mark Hyman. Stefan found out that while he did have MS, his lifestyle, diet and all the medicines he was taking were affecting his gut, moving him outside of a healthy inflammatory state and causing him a great deal of physical and emotional distress. With a drastic diet and lifestyle change plus a high quality probiotic, he started to feel like his best self in three weeks while also staying on the MS medications he needed. This experience showed him firsthand how powerful the gut is and how most of us need to take better care of it. But how? There were too many products out there with little to no science and a one-size-fits-all approach. He was adamant in redefining what a ‘gut health pill’ could be.


Stefan finally experienced what it's like to feel alive inside!
