Meek Biotics developed artisanal probiotic cultivation methods for bulk manufacturing of specialized, live cultured and natural probiotics. Thus giving birth to the Keëfir brand of probiotic powders for encapsulation and powdered packaging.Why artisanal probiotics?Market research have shown that the average consumer's buying patterns are changing and that more people focus on natural health products as part of their diet. With both the pharmaceutical probiotic market and the food probiotic market growing at a fast pace, a gap was created to bridge the two markets and create a product that can feed from both markets.Unfortunately the probiotic products available in both markets are flooded with either preservatives and additives or the strains in the probiotics are limited with only laboratory cultivated single strains. These concerns limits the consumers and forces them to purchase products that claim to be healthy, but also consist of constituents that has negative effects on their overall health, thus eliminating the real health benefits.Why don't probiotic manufacturers just produce clean artisanal probiotics?Mainly because they don't know how to. Artisanal cultivating methods works easily when culturing at home in small quantities, but once bulk cultivating takes place, it not only becomes a very difficult task but many of the beneficial properties of the cultures are lost due to: -Contamination through the materials/metals the equipment are made of.-Environmental conditions and their effects on the constituents of the final product.-Cost of cultivation that exceeds market sales costs or limits the profits to be made.-Production times affecting quantities for delivery.Most importantly, cultivating the amounts of cultures required to produce in bulk can take years before even one contract order can be taken. We have created the solution through artisanal cultivating methods for bulk production and the result is a clean, natural probiotic with all the benefits and constituents sealed in to give the best possible health benefits without compromising on quality and cost efficiency. Making us the first and only artisanal probiotic manufacturers to deliver probiotic products in its most natural form available.
