BANGKOK – SynbioTech announced it will present its TWK10® probiotic strain and a new microbiome-based contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) platform at Vitafoods Asia 2026. The company is positioning these offerings for the emerging "GLP-1 companion-nutrition" market, which addresses a growing concern among patients using appetite-suppressing therapies [232066].

GLP-1 drugs work by reducing appetite, but this often leads to lower overall food intake, causing users to lose muscle mass and miss essential nutrients. SynbioTech’s platform aims to help brands create supplements that support body composition and metabolic health during weight-loss treatment [232066].

The company will showcase how its CDMO service enables other firms to develop and scale microbiome-focused nutritional products quickly. The announcement comes as food and supplement makers race to serve patients actively using these injectable medications [232066].

The presentation is scheduled for the upcoming Vitafoods Asia trade show, a key event for the nutraceutical industry [232066].
