Our Legacy
-
Our parent company, Cultech Ltd, was established in 1994, by two microbiologists, Drs Nigel and Sue Plummer, to investigate the potential for friendly bacteria in humans. Since the company’s inception, Nigel, Sue and the team at Cultech have been researching the human microbiome and friendly bacteria and Nigel launched ProVen in 2012 to bring our own Lab4 bacteria blends to the public in our own product formulations.
Industry experts
ProVen Biotics was created by our current CEO and owner, Dr Nigel Plummer who is a microbiologist and world-renowned probiotics specialist.
Dr Plummer is committed to adding to the body of science and research evidence supporting the use of friendly bacteria in helping to prevent illness in humans, having first studied the positive effects of friendly bacteria on piglets being fed antibiotics in the late 1980s and early 1990s and realising their potential value for supporting human health.
Dr Plummer has spoken to healthcare professionals at events all over the world over the past 30 years and is widely recognised and respected as one of the world’s pre-eminent probiotics experts.
Science-led Research
We have our own research laboratories and a large team of research scientists, who continuously work to understand more about how our bacteria blends influence the microbiome and thus other systems within the body, including digestion, immunity, athletic performance, mental health, mood, metabolism and quality of life.
We invest more than £500,000 into our research every year and to date (August 2024) have undertaken more than 60 research studies, including in vitro, in vivo, and human clinical trials, and published over 100 research papers on Lab4 and/or the gut microbiome.
Our own strains
All ProVen friendly bacteria products utilise our own strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria in blends known as Lab4 and Lab4B. We have further combined our extensively researched Lab4 bacteria consortium with other bacteria and yeast strains to create two additional blends, known as Lab4P (with Lactobacillus plantarum) and Lab4S (with Saccharomyces boulardii).
