How Food Research Lab Can Support Probiotic Product Development for Manufacturers
At Food Research Lab, we specialize in bridging the gap between research, product development, and commercialization, ensuring safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance for probiotic-based products. Here’s how we can help:
1. Evidence-Based Product Development
- Strain Selection and Optimization: Based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, we can assist in selecting specific probiotic strains (single or multi-strain) that align with targeted health benefits such as:
- H. pylori eradication.
- Urinary health improvements.
- Gut and immune health.
- Custom Formulation: Develop formulations that maximize efficacy, compatibility with other ingredients, and consumer preferences (e.g., capsules, powders, or functional beverages).
2. Clinical Trial Management
Safety and Efficacy Validation:
FRL conducts or facilitates clinical trials to validate probiotic product claims, including:
- Improved infection treatment outcomes.
- Safety assessments and tolerability studies.
- Health claims substantiation (e.g., "Supports digestive health").
Protocols and Study Design:
- Tailored trials for specific markets, ensuring alignment with global regulatory requirements like FDA, EFSA, or FSSAI.
3. Regulatory Compliance
Documentation and Certification:
FRL ensures your product meets global regulatory standards by preparing:
- Dossiers for GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) certifications
