Backed by 85 Years of Science

With company roots dating back to 1934, the Rosell® Institute for Microbiome and Probiotics has been committed to scientific innovation since Day 1. The areas of research focus on the fermentation and bacteria strain improvement processes including factors that influence the technological performance of bacterial strains.

In 1998, the Rosell® Institute was acquired by Lallemand Inc. which paved the way for exciting new research opportunities that focused on the scientific and clinical documentation of probiotic formulations to benefit human health.

The principal offerings of the Rosell® Institute consist of scientifically documented products based on probiotic strains derived primarily from the Rosell® collection. These products include Lacidofil®, Probiokid®, and Cerebiome® formulations, among others and include specific strains under the Rosell® or Lafti® trademark. They are marketed in numerous countries either as dietary supplements or over-the-counter drugs.

As a leader in the investigation, development, and application of living microorganisms, the Rosell® Institute has implemented different research programs focused on better understanding the properties, mechanisms, and effects of probiotics on human health. Along the way, meaningful alliances and collaborative relationships were forged with international public and private partners, which include universities, hospitals, and world-renowned research centers, including:
