Our Vision & Mission
At The Y Collection, our vision is to ‘Extend Healthy Living’. We believe true wellness begins deep within the gut, supporting vibrant health today while fostering a healthier future. Scientific advancements continue to highlight the gut’s essential role in immunity, skin vitality, hormonal balance, metabolism, and the essential gut-brain connection that supports mental well-being. We’re committed to harnessing these insights to create targeted solutions that optimise gut health, manage inflammation, and promote overall wellness for a fulfilling life now and in the years to come.
Our Founders
Meet our passionate founders, Dr. Jelena Vulevic and Dr. George Tzortzis, dedicated to advancing gut health science. With expertise in human gut microbiota and biotechnology, they recognise the crucial link between gut health and vitality.
Our Story
Jelena and George’s journey began in the winter of 1999 at the University of Reading, UK, where they crossed paths while conducting experiments on gut bacteria. Their shared enthusiasm for gut health sparked a friendship rooted in inquiry and innovation.
Dr Jelena Vulevic reflects, “I was inspired by ancient Greek philosophers who suggested that diseases originated from the gut. I delved into the intricate relationship between diet, gut microbiota, and human health – an area of research that was not widely accepted at the time.”
After years of exploring the emerging field of microbiome research, they played pivotal roles in developing Bimuno, one of the most researched prebiotics on the market today. The success of Bimuno validated their belief that gut health profoundly impacts overall well-being.
Following their own health challenges related to gut inflammation, they founded veMico Ltd. in 2019 to deliver personalised, science-backed gut health solutions, giving rise to
The Y Collection.
The Story Behind The Y Collection
Your gut is a complex ecosystem vital to immunity, mental well-being, metabolism, and skin health. While probiotics and prebiotics are well-known, we go deeper, focusing on the intricate interactions between the gut microbiota and the host—specifically, how the host senses and responds to its gut environment. Our products harness microbiota-derived signalling molecules to support the body’s natural ability to regulate gut inflammation.
Crafted with precision, our solutions move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches to promote a vibrant life today and healthier ageing in the future.
We strive to keep our work unique and intelligent, with room for a little bit of magic.
Our Approach
We believe that gut inflammation is at the core of both ageing and wellness. By combining modern cutting-edge science with holistic insights, we use Bifidobacteria to address gut stress, a primary trigger for inflammation. The inflammation impacts more than digestion; it can manifest as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and excessive gas, while also being directly linked to issues like stress, anxiety, fatigue, depression, body pains, sleep disturbances, skin issues, and more.
Our tailored solutions aim to meet the unique needs of every gut, with Y GUT sensitive providing world-class stress support for gut balance and Y SKIN enhancing the gut-skin connection for radiant skin.
