Bioprox Healthcare has recently developed a diverse range of postbiotics (inanimate tyndalized bacteria), ideally suited for a variety of emerging market segments:
Food supplements
Pet food products
Food & beverages
Cosmetics
Bacteria do not always need to be alive to provide beneficial effects on well-being.
A “postbiotic” is defined as “a preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer a health benefit on the host”. Thus, postbiotics may contain intact inanimate microbial cells or microbial cell fragments, with or without metabolites.
Postbiotics may contain
intact inanimate
microbial cells
+
And/or microbial cell
fragments (membranes, lysates, organites…)
+
With or without metabolites (SCFAs, bacteriocins, enzymes…)
Clinical trials have demonstrated the health benefits of postbiotics in many areas-such as infectious diseases, intestinal health, allergies, stress-in both in humans and animals.
These health benefits are largely result from interactions between molecules on the surface of bacterial cells (or their intracellular components) and host cells.
Such interactions trigger pathways involved in inflammation, immune response, epithelial barrier function, metabolism and nervous system signaling, much like probiotics.
The quality of your postbiotic product can be easily confirmed through flow cytometry in any quality control laboratory.

Unlike live bacteria, wich often require specific conditions to remain stable over time, postbiotics are inanimate and offer several key advantages:
Their stability allows them to withstand food processing and face fewer regulatory constraints.
They do not require special storage conditions such as refrigeration, making them easier to store and transport.
This makes it possible to incorporate beneficial bacteria into new categories of food, feed and even cosmetic products.
