Mayer Nutrition was founded by Dylan Mayer, MS, a health entrepreneur passionate about the role of lifestyle and nutrition in human performance, especially the brain-gut-microbiome system, in partnership with his father, Dr. Emeran Mayer, gastroenterologist, neuroscientist, and expert on the brain-gut-microbiome system.
For years, we’ve watched wellness trends become increasingly dominated by influencers and self-proclaimed diet gurus, often with little to no scientific foundation.
At the same time, groundbreaking research on the brain-gut connection, polyphenols, and the microbiome has remained locked away in academic journals, inaccessible to most people, while diet- and lifestyle-related diseases have continued to rise.
We created Mayer Nutrition to change that. Our mission is to bring cutting-edge science into everyday life through products that are grounded in research, built on ingredient integrity, and are fully transparent, so you know exactly what you’re putting in your body.
As a gastroenterologist and neuroscientist, Dr. Mayer has spent his career uncovering the complex links between the brain, gut, and its microbiome.
Dylan brings years of research in neuroscience, nutrition, and human performance, driven by a passion for evidence-based health.
Together, they founded Mayer Nutrition to make science practical, shining a light on what research truly supports, and countering the rise of misinformation in the health space. While many promote quick fixes, their focus is on translating peer-reviewed science into real-world solutions.
While Mayer Nutrition’s formulations are research-driven, transparent by design, and created to help you make smarter, science-backed choices for your health, they do not replace a healthy diet & regular physical exercise.

Why Mayer Nutrition?
We started Mayer Nutrition to raise the standard in health and wellness, and to spotlight the critical role of polyphenols. Backed by decades of research into the science of the brain-gut-microbiome system, our mission is simple: “To deliver honest, effective products that empower smarter health decisions — grounded in scientific evidence and designed to complement a healthy lifestyle.”
We wholeheartedly believe that a healthy diet and daily exercise are two of the most powerful choices you can make for longevity. Yet, modern diets in the West often fall short, especially when it comes to getting enough fruits and vegetables (polyphenols & fiber). That’s why we’re proud to offer products backed by peer-reviewed clinical science and supported by experts.
As a father-and-son team with combined expertise in neuroscience, the gut microbiome, and nutrition, we’re committed to full transparency, a strict evidence-based approach, and creating products that make a meaningful difference in your health.

Even with a healthy diet, most people fall short on essential compounds like polyphenols and fiber. These nutrients are critical for gut microbial diversity, inflammation balance, cognitive health, and cardiovascular function.
Our product do not replace whole foods, they are available to ensure your gut microbes consistently gets the compounds they need to thrive.
Dr. Mayer's research spans 45+ years studying this system. Through his research, we have learned that our brain and gut are in constant communication through this system. Through it, your microbiome interacts with every organ in your body, influencing mood, memory, immunity, and cardiovascular health.
Our products are designed with this system in mind, supporting balance and function throughout the entire body.
