MANUFACTURING AND MICROLABORATORY

1. FORMULATION

30+ Regulatory, Research and Scientific personnel analysing ingredients and formulation 100% researched strains and strengths Stable, therapeutic products

TESTING INCOMING RAW MATERIAL TO SUBSTANTIATE SUPPLIER CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS

2. INGREDIENT CHARACTERISTICS

Optimised fermentation methods to foster core bacterial characteristics Raw materials undergo freeze drying to maintain ingredient integrity and stability Raw materials are transported to Metagenics in strictly monitored temperature controlled conditions

Authentic LGG® LGG® requires specific manufacturing and growth medium conditions required for correct genetic expression and survival of pili and adherence to the gastrointestinal tract. Comparative analysis of GG products (against LGG®) found an absence of major DNA segments with pili encoding genes among these.
