With PROIBS® turning 10 years old in a time where the world is still facing an unprecedented global health crisis, it is important for us to reflect on the past, and more importantly, to focus on the future.
Our growth over the years has been a cumulative outcome of the hard work and non-stop efforts of every individual associated with us. Our core values, strong focus on R&D and our commitment to gut health remain the guiding principles for everything we do and we are anticipating a positive future and a long-term market for PROIBS® on the European market. We are excited to see where we stand in the next 10 years with PROIBS® on the world market. Here’s to another brilliant 10 years!
