Access to high-quality probiotic strains, manufacturing expertise, and industry-leading scientific knowledge makes all the difference.
HOWARU® Strains
IFF offers premium, clinically-researched HOWARU® probiotic strains that power leading brands.
A strain is not just a strain
Far from “one-size-fits-all,” choosing the right probiotic strain(s) makes all the difference when developing compelling probiotic solutions for your consumers.
With over 100,000 bacterial strains, ours is one of the world’s largest internal culture strain collections in the industry. Our strains have been featured more than 700 times in scientific publications and are contained in more probiotic products globally than any other provider.
HOWARU® Signature Probiotic Strains must pass our stringent VERIFY protocol, which, among other things, guarantees their safety and quality. Our extensive monitoring program ensures that our probiotics will meet label claims and maintain viability throughout and beyond their designated shelf life.
Anyone can claim that a particular probiotic does what it’s supposed to do. Our health benefits are rooted in extensive research and placebo-controlled clinical studies with clear and convincing results. Our scientists know best when carefully selecting strains that will perform optimally for each specific health application.
