NUS creates beer good for your gut
How It Started

Our History

More than $1.5 million investment had been invested into research and development of this probiotic beer, which as pioneered by Associate Professor Liu Shao Quan and his research team from National University of Singapore (NUS) Department of Food Science & Technology (FST) through evidence-based research and clinical trials.

Thereafter, Probicient was founded as a spin-off between NUS-FST and Origgin Ventures, a specialist in early stage deep-tech start-ups and venture co-creation.

How We Are Different

Unique IP

Probicient’s IP lies in its distinct pairing of unique strains and patented fermentation processes as the world’s first probiotics beer, a technological breakthrough that ensures the probiotics’ survivability of 1 billion CFU, together with its intrinsic antimicrobial compounds.

One billion CFU is the minimum amount considered to be an effective probiotic, according to ISAPP (International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics). All our beers contain a probiotic cell count of over 1 billion per can.

Our patented probiotic beers were developed from lab-to-table moving from nascent stage, clinical trials to consumer test and are now ready for commercial scale-up to commercial breweries and micro-breweries around the world.
