At Kaneka, we focus on precision probiotics
Precision Probiotics compared to legacy probiotics are probiotics that are developed for one very particular and specific need or benefit which is linked to a very well-described mechanism of action. It’s not about taking one strain and trying to look for as many applications as possible but making sure that we choose the right strain for the right benefit.
To be a probiotic means to prove a benefit and that proof comes from clinical evidence.
We clinically validate our probiotics in a very big research lab, validating their mechanisms of action and they are very unique.
What sets Kaneka apart is that our mentality in terms of relationship with our customers is to make the lives of our customers as easy as possible.
Why should brands partner with Kaneka Probiotics?
We’re so innovative, we invest so much in our clinicals, we have a great team.
As a brand, working with Kaneka Probiotics can help accelerate your timeline from concept to market by using some of the data we’ve already gathered from our own research.
We work with brands from start to finish. We have an in-house formulator, and we’ll even work with you on ways to market your strains and formulate specifically for your pipeline needs.Â
Kaneka delivers a smooth navigation through the process of all the stages of the product life cycle — from the inception of a novel concept through the launch of a new SKU to market.
What excites me the most about working in the probiotics industry right now is the ever-evolving science. The industry as a whole is growing but it’s growing not just with generic gut health products — it’s growing with gut-brain and gut-skin, and so it is evolving in a way that is challenging what our concept of probiotics is, and elevating the entire space all at once.
Microbiome science is yet to be finished so we still don’t understand all that the microbes that live within us are capable to do, and that lets us imagine that in the future probiotics can do much more than what they do now.
When you’re looking for a solution beyond gut health, look no further than Kaneka Precision Probiotics.Â
FAQs
What is a precision probiotic?
A precision probiotic is a probiotic strain developed for one specific, clinically validated health benefit, backed by a well-understood mechanism of action, rather than a single strain marketed across many unrelated benefits.
How is a precision probiotic/postbiotic different from a legacy probiotic/postbiotic?
Legacy probiotics/postbiotics are often applied broadly across multiple claims without strain-specific validation. Precision probiotics are matched to one benefit at a time, with the mechanism of action clinically proven for that specific use.
How does Kaneka Probiotics validate its probiotics and postbiotics?
Kaneka Probiotics clinically validates every probiotic strain in-house, confirming the specific mechanism of action behind each benefit before it goes to market.
How does Kaneka Probiotics help brands develop probiotic and postbiotic products?
Kaneka Probiotics works with brands from concept through launch, offering in-house formulation, existing clinical research data, and support at every stage of the product life cycle, from initial concept through SKU launch.
Why does mechanism of action matter in probiotic and postbiotic science?
Mechanism of action is the biological pathway by which a probiotic strain produces its benefit. Understanding it is what separates clinically validated claims from general health marketing.
