PoZibio® is a patented innovation developed by Wake Forest University and marketed and distributed by Sabinsa. It is supported by ongoing clinical studies sponsored by the UK government. PoZibio® is native to the human gut, using a strain naturally found in the human microbiome. It is free from gluten, dairy and GMOs, and heat stable so it does not require refrigeration. This versatile ingredient is suitable for use in a variety of dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, gummies, soft chews, gels, and liquids.

The winners will be announced at the NutraIngredients-USA Awards reception in Downtown Chicago on Monday, July 14, 2025.
