As we mark our 20th anniversary in 2024, we want to reflect on a journey that has not only shaped our company but has also been instrumental in advancing the field of gut health and prebiotic science.
From our research origins to our current position as a leader in the prebiotic market, Clasado’s commitment to scientific excellence and innovation has remained at the centre of everything we do.
Our story began at the University of Reading, with a vision to better understand, and then unlock, the power of the gut microbiome. From the outset, we recognised that the key to realising the potential of prebiotics lay in robust scientific research. This ethos led to the development and commercialisation of Bimuno® GOS, which has become the gold standard for galactooligosaccharide (GOS) prebiotics.
Two decades on, Bimuno GOS stands as the most comprehensively studied prebiotic in its category, with efficacy supported by over 120 scientific publications and more than 20 clinical studies. This extensive body of research not only validates the health-supporting impacts of Bimuno GOS, but also contributes significantly to the broader understanding of gut health and its far-reaching impacts on overall wellbeing.
The past 20 years have seen a remarkable transformation in the health and nutrition market. When we began our journey as a business, gut health was primarily a niche concern, often overlooked in mainstream public health discussions. Today, it’s at the forefront of health and wellness conversations, with consumers increasingly recognising the gut microbiome’s crucial role in overall health.
This shift hasn’t happened by chance. It’s the result of tireless research, education, and advocacy of health professionals, academics, and companies like Clasado. As the health industry has evolved to embrace gut-mediated wellness, so too has our approach, always staying ahead of trends and health consumer needs while maintaining our commitment to scientific rigour.
One of our key strengths is our ability to translate complex scientific findings into practical solutions for formulators. Designed to selectively nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut, predominantly bifidobacteria, Bimuno GOS offers a versatile, stable, and highly effective prebiotic ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide range of products, from supplements to functional foods and beverages.
Our research has explored the impact of Bimuno GOS on various aspects of health, including:
The studies that underpin Bimuno GOS efficacy empower formulators to create targeted products that meet the diverse needs of today’s proactive and health-conscious consumers.
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we remain at the forefront of prebiotic innovation. The prebiotic market is projected to see significant growth in the coming years, and we’re poised to lead this expansion with continued research and development.
As time goes on, we’re excited to see the wider role that prebiotics can have, in areas such as mental health, sleep quality, and metabolic health, as well as the growing interest in synbiotics – products that combine prebiotics and probiotics. These areas represent a new frontier in gut health science, and Clasado is committed to driving this market forward.
Throughout our journey, we have consistently been a proud advocate for gut health education, working to bridge the gap between scientific research and consumer understanding.
Our educational initiatives, collaborations with healthcare professionals, and participation in industry events have all contributed to raising awareness about the importance of gut health. As we move forward, we remain committed to this mission, ensuring that the benefits of prebiotics reach an ever-wider audience.
As we celebrate two decades of prebiotic excellence, we are also marking the significant expansion in our global reach. Recognising the growing worldwide demand for scientifically backed ingredients, we have strategically partnered with key distributors around the globe.
This expansion ensures that health and nutrition brands, along with their formulation teams, have clear and easy access to Bimuno GOS. Our mission has always been to make better gut health accessible to all, and these partnerships are a crucial step in realising that vision on a global scale. By collaborating with trusted distributors who share our commitment to quality and scientific excellence, we’re breaking down geographical barriers and simplifying the process for brands looking to incorporate Bimuno GOS into their product ranges.
As we reflect on 20 years of innovation, our team is proud of our achievements to date, and excited for the future. The gut health revolution is only just beginning, and Clasado is well-positioned to continue leading the way.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners, customers, and the scientific community who have supported us on this journey.
Here’s to many more years of pushing the boundaries of prebiotic science and improving lives through better gut health.
