MVDr. Alojz Bomba, DrSc.

MVDr. Alojz Bomba, DrSc.

Scientific Director · co-founder

The man who has been studying gut bacteria since 1984, when most people would have thought “microbiome” was a typo. Together with his colleagues, he built a gnotobiology laboratory, the only one of its kind in Slovakia. He is behind the concept of targeted and personalised microbiome modulation, with hundreds of citations worldwide, and more than 25 years ago he founded what is still the largest probiotic conference on the planet. Thanks to him, iProbio is backed by four decades of science, rather than a passing trend. And that is exactly what you get in every pack.

CEO · co-founder

The boss who reads studies on gut bacteria instead of playing golf. He sets the company’s direction and makes sure every product is backed by science, not a marketing slogan. When you buy iProbio, you are buying 40 years of microbiome research, not an empty promise on a label.
