Clasado Biosciences (‘Clasado’), a global leader in the development of scientifically proven prebiotic ingredients and product solutions for the gut microbiome, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this October.
From its early origins at the University of Reading, Clasado has since developed and grown into its current position, a leading name in the global prebiotic industry. Putting science at the heart of its operations, the company’s proprietary prebiotic ingredient, Bimuno® GOS, is recognised as the most comprehensively studied in the galactooligosaccharides category.
Per Rehné, CEO of Clasado, reflected on the company’s journey: “What an incredible 20 years it’s been. We’re proudly pushing the frontiers of prebiotic science, and importantly, making health and wellbeing more accessible by doing so. When we develop new science around key health areas, engage with health professionals, or expand our global commercial footprint with new distribution partners to make our prebiotics more accessible, it’s always with the same goal in mind. That’s to improve public health and wellbeing through our scientific lens, and it’s why we remain such a driven and motivated team.”
“On a personal level, I also want to thank our incredible team who, day in and day out, show industry-leading expertise and commitment. Their dedication has been instrumental in our success, and will no doubt continue propelling us forwards.”
Over twenty years, Clasado has achieved numerous milestones in prebiotic research and development. Bimuno GOS is used in health and nutrition formulations around the world, and is now backed by over 120 scientific publications including more than 20 clinical trials as well as being supported by over 80 health claims globally.
Steven Riley, Head of B2B & Corporate Marketing at Clasado, commented on the company’s scientific legacy and future outlook: “Over 20 years, the company has seen remarkable changes in health consumer behaviour, with gut health going from relatively unknown to becoming a frontrunner in managing health and wellbeing. Shoppers want to trust that products will do what they claim, which is why scientific evidence is absolutely crucial. There’s no other GOS on the market supported by the level of science that Bimuno GOS is. By putting scientific advancement at the forefront, our talented team has achieved not only international growth, but also an ever-increasing number of regulatory health claims around the globe.”
“As well as our hard-working team, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our collaborators, partners, and customers who have been an integral part of our journey so far. We look forward to continued growth and innovation in the coming decades, as we work together to advance the field of prebiotics and improve global health and wellbeing.”
