By collaborating with the IPA, we gain access to the latest research, regulatory updates, and market trends in the probiotic space. This knowledge empowers us to innovate with confidence, ensuring that every product we develop exceeds industry standards.

George Paraskevakos, IPA’s Executive Director, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Vitaquest to IPA and look forward to their participation in helping drive the industry forward. Their expertise and capabilities will bring great value to our efforts in advancing the science and global awareness of probiotics.”
