Bimuno is a bio-engineered second generation Prebiotic (nutrition)[1] food supplement. The prebiotic supplement was developed by Clasado BioSciences, an international Biotechnology company based in Jersey, UK.[2]

Bimuno and The University of Reading, UK

The concept of prebiotics was first described by Glenn Gibson, (then at the Institute of Food Research, Reading) and Marcel Roberfroid (at the University Catholique Louvain, Belgium) in 1995.[3] As Professor of Food Microbiology at the University of Reading in 1999,[4] Gibson has continued his work on prebiotics, including the development of Bimuno - a prebiotic for use in humans.[5] The Bimuno development programme combined Gibson’s research on prebiotics with Professor Bob Rastall’s (Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, 1994 – present) research on enzymic development of functional food ingredients.[6]

Bimuno Food Supplement

Bimuno is a Dietary supplement containing Galactooligosaccharides (β-Galacto-Oligosaccharide).[7]

β-Galacto-Oligosaccharide (Bimuno®) is one of a group of nutrient fibres (Oligosaccharides). Oligosaccarides feed and cultivate certain types of friendly Bacteria found in the gut.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

Bimuno Powder Ingredients

  • Each sachet contains 5.5g of powder.[16]
  • The active ingredient is galacto-oligosaccharides, equivalent to a dose of 2.75g.[17]
  • The Lactose content is 1.5g[18]
  • Per dose it contains 15 kcal, 1.9g of sugar and 0.03g of fat.[19]

Patents and Trademarks

Bimuno's formulation, technology, production and brand positioning are all recognised and protected by worldwide patents and trademarks.[20]

Research and Development

According to the manufacturer's website, Bimuno is the result of research and development including Peer reviews and Clinical trials conducted in collaboration with the University of Reading’s Food Microbial Sciences Unit and other global research institutes.[21]

Parent Company

Clasado BioSciences is an International Biotechnology company headquartered on the island of Jersey in The Channel Islands.[22]

Clasado BioSciences researches and develops galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) products for Food, Healthcare and Pharmaceutical companies.[23]

  • Formed 2004[24]
  • Offices in Asia, Europe and USA[25]

Clasado BioSciences are developers and manufacturers of prebiotic technologies.[26]
