The BioGaia story
In 1990, a spark of curiosity ignited a journey that would change the world of probiotics forever.
The story of BioGaia begins with two visionaries, Peter Rothschild and Jan Annwall. They were importing organic vegetables and exclusive yoghurt from France to Sweden. However, they faced a challenge: the short shelf-life of these products.
Determined to find a solution, Peter and Jan embarked on an innovative quest. They began exploring the potential of using beneficial bacteria to extend the shelf-life of organic vegetables.
What started as a science experiment soon revealed something extraordinary. Their search led them to a fascinating discovery that would change the shape of the global probiotics industry forever—they unlocked the potential within a unique species of bacteria known as Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri).
Breakthrough scientific discoveries
Peter and Jan realised that this particular species of bacteria had remarkable properties beyond just preserving vegetables. This breakthrough inspired them to delve deeper into the potential of L. reuteri.
Their research unveiled a world of possibilities and the promise of transforming our understanding of probiotics.
With a vision in mind, they acquired the patent for this incredible probiotic bacterium and dedicated themselves to deeper research.
This vision led us to embark on a groundbreaking journey that would span three decades.
