Winclove Probiotics - For business and science professionals

Winclove Probiotics, established in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has been specialising in research, development and manufacturing of probiotic formulations for over 25 years. In close collaboration with business partners, research institutes and university hospitals we develop evidence-based, indication-specific probiotics for a variety of indications. Our probiotic formulations enable people worldwide to improve their health in a natural way.

Improving health through evidence-based probiotics

Our expertise lies in developing evidence-based probiotic formulations for specific health indications. Wherever an imbalance in the microbiota causes problems, we seek for an optimal way to restore the microbial balance with targeted probiotics.

Key strengths of our probiotic formulations are:

• Indication-specific selected bacteria
• Substantiated by in vitro as well as in vivo evidence
• Stable at room temperature for two years, no refrigeration needed
• Excellent survival of bacteria throughout the gastro-intestinal tract
• High viability and metabolically active bacteria
• Manufactured in a GMP-registered facility
• Available both as bulk deliveries and as finished products, ready to market under your own brand.

Probiotic portfolio

We offer probiotic solutions for a broad range of microbiota-based disturbances. Our probiotics are focused on, but not limited to, the following health indications:

• Reduction of depressive symptoms
• Reducing exercise-induces stress
• Improving general intestinal health of babies, children, adults and the elderly.

Probiotic quality

Formulating effective probiotics of the highest quality demands expert knowledge in each and every step of the probiotic development process. Probiotic effectiveness depends in a significant part on the condition and activity of the bacteria. Therefore, a large part of our research focuses on ingredients that improve the wellbeing of our friendly microbes. For each probiotic formulation we select specific active nutrients depending on the bacteria in the formulation. These ingredients are focused on:

• Retaining high cell counts during shelf life
• Protecting against osmotic shock during rehydration and consumption
• Protecting against stomach acid and digestive enzymes in the GI-tract
• Improving metabolic activity in the small intestine.

The sum of these ingredients is called PROBIOACT® Technology, short for PROBIOtic ACTivity. PROBIOACT® provides bacteria with specific protection and nutrition and ensures bacterial viability and metabolic activity for a highly effective probiotic.

Personal partnership
