Bioticine.

Stop guessing at
microbiology.

Most probiotic marketing is fluff. We analyze specific, patented strains, track CFU survivability in gastric acid, and match ingredients to peer-reviewed outcomes.

Why generic species names mean nothing.

A label listing "Lactobacillus acidophilus" is like a car label listing "Vehicle". You don't know if you're getting a bicycle or a tank. Efficacy is tied strictly to the strain level (e.g., L. acidophilus DDS-1 or NCFM).

Clinical trials are conducted on specific strains. If a manufacturer doesn't list the strain alphanumeric code, they are almost certainly using cheaper, unstudied commodity ingredients.

The Core Science

CFU Survivability

90% of unprotected bacterial CFUs die at stomach pH 2.0 within 60 minutes. We analyze delivery mechanisms like enteric coating and sodium alginate.

Prebiotic Synergy

Specific fibers (FOS, GOS, XOS) selectively feed different genera. We map exact prebiotic-probiotic combinations used in synbiotic formulations.
