# BaseCode Health — Precision Ethnobiotics

> Formulated for the biology you have.

## About BaseCode
BaseCode is a precision ethnobiotics company building microbiome supplements for specific ancestral populations. The global probiotic industry formulates for a generic Western gut — BaseCode formulates for the biology shaped by your genetics, your ancestry, and the traditional diet your body evolved with.

## Product: Protocol S-1
Protocol S-1 is the world's first synbiotic (probiotic + prebiotic) formulated specifically for South Asian diaspora populations. Not a generic probiotic — a population-specific formulation backed by peer-reviewed microbiome research.

### Key Specs
- 30 billion AFU (Active Fluorescent Units) per serving
- 3 designated probiotic strains selected from published clinical research on South Asian populations
- Capsule format · 18-month shelf life at room temperature
- GMP-certified manufacturing · Third-party tested for purity and potency

### Why It Exists
South Asian populations carry distinct microbiome signatures shaped by genetics, traditional diets (dahi, achaar, fermented foods, legumes, turmeric), and ancestral environmental exposures. Migration and dietary westernisation deplete these populations — a process that compounds across generations. Existing probiotics use strains studied in European-descent cohorts and miss this entirely.

### Four Pillars
1. **Strain Specificity** — Strains selected for documented relevance to South Asian gut ecology
2. **Published Research** — Every ingredient backed by peer-reviewed clinical studies
3. **Precision Manufacturing** — GMP-certified, independently third-party verified
4. **Population Science** — Formulated using population-level microbiome sequencing data

## Key Research
- Deschasaux et al., Nature Medicine 2018, HELIUS cohort (n=2,084): Ethnicity explains more microbiome variation than diet, age, sex, or medical history.
- Vangay et al., Cell 2018: Immigration-driven microbiome depletion in South Asian diaspora compounds across generations.

## Audience
South Asian diaspora (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali descent), health-conscious individuals seeking precision nutrition, healthcare practitioners exploring population-specific supplementation.

## Founder
Gurkamal Dhahan — built BaseCode after finding that no probiotic on the market was formulated for South Asian biology. Free research report: "The Science of Specificity."
