Reasons to Choose Us

Human Strains

The strains used in ProVen Biotics were originally isolated from the gut microbiota of healthy humans and screened for appropriate characteristics and safety. They are naturally present in our intestines, but their numbers can be reduced due to stresses of our modern lifestyle.

Commitment to Research

ProVen Biotics and the Lab4 bacteria that they contain are supported by a strong body of research published in peer-reviewed journals and we are involved in a continuous research programme to support the efficacy of the products we sell.

Bacteria Survive Stomach & Bile Acids

The stomach is an acidic environment and friendly bacteria need to be able to survive this to reach the microbiota in the intestines. ProVen Biotics are held in suspension in their various formats until they reach the stomach.

Guaranteed Bacteria Count to Expiry

The TriPhase and StabilityMax technology used to manufacture ProVen Biotics products, guarantees the stated number of live bacteria to the expiry date of the product. We utilise 'gas-tight' packaging and 'overage' of bacteria to ensure this.

Multi-strain

The human gut contains thousands of different strains of live bacteria (from different groups and species) and multi-strain products have been shown to work synergistically to support this diversity. The Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria groups (genera) of probiotic bacteria are the most studied and ProVen Biotics contain two strains of each group and additional Lactobacillus strains when suited to a particular product.

Safety

Safety is a key consideration when choosing any supplement. As well as having a vast number of ongoing customers of ProVen products (including children, babies and pensioners), ProVen Biotics are continuously being scrutinised in research studies and were specifically approved for use in a trial with pregnant mums and their newborn babies and shown to be completely safe for use by these vulnerable groups.
