Research is at the heart of both the Cultech and ProVen Biotics operations and the company employs a large team of scientists and researchers. It has had studies published in more than 75 peer-reviewed publications and funded 16 PhDs, establishing an evidence base of health benefits to support its products.
Working with leading universities and hospitals, many in the UK, the research team works continuously to remain up-to-date with the latest industry research and developments.
Dr Nigel Plummer
ProVen Biotics is owned and managed by Dr Nigel Plummer, a world-renowned expert in the field of live bacteria, who produced his first human friendly bacteria in 1994, having previously worked in the field of animal live bacteria.
ProVen Biotics is part of Cultech Ltd, a bioscience company based in South Wales in the UK and a world-leading supplement manufacturer, which specialises in live bacteria supplements production.
Cultech is also owned and managed by Dr Plummer and is internationally renowned as an expert in live bacteria and approved to make live bacteria as medicines – the company is also BRC approved, has ISO9000 and MHRA accreditations and is audited to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Processes) by the FDA in the USA.
As well as the core Lab4 group of bacteria, the ProVen Biotics pregnancy and baby products contain a slightly different group of four strains of friendly bacteria, known as Lab4B.
And more recently, the company has developed Lab4P, which contains the four core Lab4 strains with Lactobacillus plantarum, an additional strain of live bacteria native to the human digestive tract.
The Lab4 friendly bacteria used in ProVen Biotics is one of the most studied groups of friendly bacteria in the world and the most studied in the UK. The breadth of the research means that the Lab4 consortia now have evidence of the widest range of clinical benefits of any probiotics around the world.
Evidence-based products
Live bacteria supplements are different from other supplements in that bacterial strain differences mean that benefits can be specific to an individual product.
Ongoing research and a detailed understanding of the developments in the live bacteria supplements industry are both necessary to stay ahead of the game. The products developed by ProVen have been used in this ongoing research – in studies investigating allergy, common illnesses, specific digestive complaints, mood and athletic performance. Based on this research, the products have been specifically developed for individual life-stages and are designed to be used in pregnancy, through infancy, childhood and into adulthood.
