Health and science are at the heart of everything we do
BioGaia is a Swedish probiotic company that has been at the forefront of microbiome research for more than 30 years. BioGaia develops, markets and sells probiotic products.
We have an extensive research network, which allows us to work closely with the global scientific community to advance the understanding of probiotics and the human microbiome. Around 10 percent of our net sales is invested in research and development to expand our product portfolio further, discover new bacteria strains and deepen the knowledge of probiotics.
Our products contain strains of the lactic acid bacterium L. reuteri (Limosilactobacillus reuteri, formerly known as Lactobacillus reuteri). L. reuteri has co-evolved with humans and, as a result, has a strong adaptation and naturally colonizes and interacts with the human body. Our probiotic strains have been published in more than 250 articles in scientific journals, proving their effectiveness and safety.
At BioGaia, we operate as a lean organisation and have parts of our value chain externally. This efficiency and diversification of our production chain allow us to adapt to market needs in a more flexible way. We have two types of distribution: through distribution partners and our own distribution. Our products are sold in more than 100 countries worldwide through its partnerships with nutrition and pharmaceutical companies, while our own distribution extends to five markets.
