Probiotics backed by science

Not all probiotics are the same. EvidenceBiotics stands for BioGaias commitment to selected probiotic strains, documented research and high-quality standards.

BioGaia’s approach to probiotic quality

EvidenceBiotics is BioGaia’s way of making probiotic quality easier to understand. It brings together what matters when choosing a probiotic supplement: the specific bacterial strain, the research behind it, the number of live bacteria through shelf life and the quality standards behind the product. EvidenceBiotics is not a separate product category or a new brand. It describes the science, quality and consistency behind BioGaia probiotics.

  • Selected strains
    Specific bacterial strains, not just general probiotic names.
  • Documented research
    Scientific research and strain-specific knowledge.
  • Quality through shelf life
    Protection of live bacteria to support viable CFUs through shelf life.

 

Why probiotic quality matters

Choosing a probiotic can be confusing. Products may look similar, but probiotic strains, research documentation and product quality can differ.

With EvidenceBiotics, BioGaia places a strong emphasis on scientifically researched bacterial strains, transparent and easy-to-understand product information, and reliable product quality. The approach is designed to give consumers and healthcare professionals greater confidence by clearly communicating what each product contains and how it is intended to be used. Particular attention is also given to maintaining consistency and stability throughout the entire shelf life, helping ensure that the product continues to meet its quality standards from production until the end of its stated expiry period.
 

What stands behind EvidenceBiotics

What stands behind EvidenceBiotics

EvidenceBiotics brings together three key elements behind BioGaia probiotics: specific bacterial strains, scientific research and protection of live bacteria through shelf life. Together, they help explain BioGaia’s approach to probiotic quality and consistency.

Scientific research

BioGaia focuses on carefully selected strains supported by scientific research and long-term probiotic expertise.

CFU protection

Live bacteria need protection from moisture and storage conditions to help support viability through shelf life.

Specific strains

A probiotic supplement should clearly identify the bacterial strain it contains — not only the species or general bacteria type.

Why specific strains matter

Not all probiotics are the same. A probiotic supplement should clearly identify the specific bacterial strain it contains — not only the species or general bacteria type.

The exact strain helps show what is inside the product and supports transparency around research, quality and product information. This is why strain-specific knowledge is an important part of the EvidenceBiotics approach.

BioGaia’s work with L. reuteri is one example of how strain-specific knowledge supports probiotic quality.

How to read the label of a high quality probiotic?

  • Probiotic strain – Look for the full name (e.g., L. reuteri Protectis DSM 17938)
  • CFU count – Check how many live bacteria (colony-forming units) are in each dose
  • Ingredients – Review what's included and ensure it meets your dietary needs
  • Dosage – Follow the recommended amount for effective use
  • Expiry date – Make sure the product is still active with the amount stated on the label and safe to use

How to choose a probiotic supplement

When choosing a probiotic supplement, the label can tell you a lot. These are the details to look for.

  1. Check the exact strain
    Look for the specific bacterial strain, not only the species or general bacteria type.
  2. Check the CFU amount
    Make sure the CFU amount refers to the product through shelf life, not only at the time of manufacture.
  3. Check the usage instructions
    Clear dosage and usage information helps make the product easier to include in a daily routine.
  4. Check storage and shelf life
    Look for information about storage conditions, expiry date and how product quality is supported through shelf life.
  5. Choose the right format
    Select the product format and routine that fits the user’s life stage and needs.
