Why Trust Us?

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.

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.

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 gut.

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.

None of the ProVen Biotics products contain artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Full details of the ingredients for each product can be found on the product info page.

Our manufacturing facility is 100% free of genetically modified organisms. We do not handle genetically modified ingredients and will never include them in our products.

As an expert manufacturer of friendly bacteria, ProVen Biotics are able to ensure that high potency products are stable for 18-24 months in room temperature conditions. Our manufacturing processes are optimised to increase stability of the bacteria at every stage.

ProVen Biotics is part of Trustpilot, an independent and therefore unbiased review service, and all our online customers are asked by Trustpilot to provide honest feedback about our products and the experience they had when purchasing from us.

ProVen Biotics are manufactured to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and food safety standards with quality control testing throughout all processes. GMP provide requirements that a manufacturer must meet to ensure products are consistently high in quality.

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 Bifidobacterium groups (genera) of friendly bacteria are the most studied and ProVen Biotics contain two strains of each group and additional Lactobacillus or Saccharomyces strains when suited to a particular product.

ProVen Biotics products contain the Lab4, Lab4B, Lab4P and Lab4S consortia of bacteria and yeast. The strain numbers are clearly labelled in brackets. i.e. Lab4 –Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL60), Lactobacillus acidophilus (CUL21), Bifidobacterium bifidum (CUL20), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (CUL34)

Safety is a key consideration when choosing any supplement. As well as having a vast number of ongoing customers of ProVen products (including babies, children 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.
