When comparing Cymbiotika's ingredients to other wellness companies, it is clear that Cymbiotika strives to go above and beyond only to source the highest-quality ingredients. Unlike other supplement brands, Cymbiotika never uses fillers, toxins, or artificial ingredients in its products. Cymbiotika's supplements are sourced from only the highest quality plant-based ingredients and utilize the most advanced absorption technology.
Cymbiotika is also one of the first supplement companies to utilize liposomal technology. Unlike other wellness brands that use the traditional pill/capsule form, we encapsulate our supplements in liposomes, which allow the body to get the nutrients it needs faster and more efficiently. We currently have seven liposomal products, with plans to come out with more in the forthcoming year.
