BioGaia’s Scientific Centre of Excellence
Pioneering probiotic innovation
At BioGaia, we are dedicated to pioneering the future of probiotics through cutting-edge research and innovation. Our Centre of Excellence, located in the south of Sweden, is the cornerstone of our commitment to quality and scientific advancement.
Research and innovation
Our state-of-the-art laboratory is where science meets innovation. Here, our team of experts delves deep into the world of probiotics. With science in our DNA, we invest heavily in research and development.
Global scientific network
We believe that collaboration is the key to innovation. Our team of experts works closely with our unique global network of scientists, research institutions, and universities. These partnerships enable us to stay at the forefront of probiotic research and bring you the best products possible.
Product development
From concept to creation, our Centre of Excellence is where new ideas come to life.
It all starts in our lab, where our team of scientists explores Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri), a unique probiotic species we’ve been studying for 35 years.
From there, our research drives innovation. Each product is carefully crafted, with every ingredient and process tested to meet our strict standards. We collaborate with experts worldwide, ensuring that what we create is backed by science. Once a product is perfected, it undergoes rigorous quality checks to guarantee it’s safe and effective, and then it’s ready for you.
At BioGaia, the journey from lab to shelf is guided by a commitment to quality, innovation, and care.
Sustainability
Our Centre of Excellence is designed with sustainability in mind, utilising eco-friendly practices and materials. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint while continuing to innovate and improve our products.
Our newly constructed office building in Eslöv is certified according to the Miljöbyggnads-standard, which is a Swedish certification system for sustainable buildings.
The “Environmental Building” certification is managed by the Sweden Green Building Council (SGBC). The certification focuses on three main areas: Energy, Materials, and Indoor Environmental Quality.
Our commitment to quality
Our Centre of Excellence is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by a team of dedicated scientists and researchers. We adhere to stringent quality control measures to ensure that every product we develop meets our rigorous standards.
Here’s how we ensure quality:
Before production begins, each batch of raw materials is thoroughly inspected to ensure they meet our standards. Only approved materials move forward in the process.
Throughout production, we closely monitor quality at every stage. This includes checking specific parameters during manufacturing and conducting detailed analyses of the final product.
Our quality and safety checks are performed by highly trained experts. If any issues arise, such as quality concerns or deviations from our standards, they are promptly addressed and resolved.
Every batch of finished products is carefully tested to ensure it meets all applicable requirements. This includes verifying the quantity of probiotic bacteria and ensuring the product’s safety. All tests are based on BioGaia’s research and regulatory guidelines.
We conduct comprehensive safety tests, including checking for any potential contaminants. These tests are performed either in our own laboratories or by trusted third-party labs.
As a leader in shaping the industry, we provide educational resources and information about probiotics to healthcare professionals and consumers. This includes publishing research findings, conducting seminars, and offering expert insights.
