Clasado Biosciences (Berkshire, UK) has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Shanghai Prochin, a division of Alliance Nutrition Group, to make Clasado’s galactooligosaccharide ingredient Bimuno GOS available to formulators in China.

“We are delighted to partner with Prochin and enable our science-backed Bimuno GOS to be available in China as we expand our presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Over the last two years, our growing distributor network has seen Bimuno GOS become available in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan, so we are delighted to increase that footprint even further,” said David Mharakurwa, director of sales for APAC & MEA at Clasado, in a press release. “The commercial opportunity for Chinese formulators is clear. The Asian prebiotic market is expected to see a strong compound annual growth rate of over 15% according to market data firm Grand View Research, so it really is the ideal time to explore why Bimuno GOS, now backed by more than 120 publications, stands as the perfect choice.”

"We're committed to providing innovative ingredient solutions that meet the evolving needs of consumers, especially in terms of gut microbiome support. The inclusion of Bimuno GOS in our product portfolio underlines our dedication to putting science at the heart of formulation,” added Kévin Ransbotyn, general manager of B2B Ingredients at Alliance Nutrition Group. “Today’s health focused consumers are looking for products with strong scientific backing and evidence they can trust. Bimuno GOS shines as the most comprehensively studied commercially available prebiotic galactooliogosaccharide, with extensive research showing its advantages in gastrointestinal, immune and cognitive health, and beyond.”
