spectrumceuticals-banner-2 (1)

Founded in 2012 on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Spectrumceuticals® is a privately held company specialising in integrative medicine. The company focuses on patented and proprietary ingredients to formulate high-potency probiotic, herb, vitamin, and mineral supplements, available exclusively for practitioner dispensing.

Spectrumceuticals® provides high-quality integrative medicines designed to support individuals with allergies, food intolerances, and specific dietary requirements. Spectrumceuticals® upholds rigorous testing protocols to ensure the quality and purity of its ingredients. State-of-the-art laboratories test all ingredients for a broad range of contaminants and allergens. 

Probiotic Formulation and Stability

Spectrumceuticals® prioritises probiotic stability by maintaining refrigeration throughout production, storage, and distribution. Unlike shelf-stable probiotics, these formulations are developed without excipients, ensuring optimal conditions for sensitive probiotic strains.

Key considerations in probiotic formulation include:

  • A sterile fermentation environment and stringent quality controls to prevent contamination

  • Protection from moisture and humidity to maintain bacterial viability

  • Cold-chain distribution with insulation and cold packs to support stability

Although refrigeration is recommended, Spectrumceuticals® probiotics can be stored at room temperature for up to a month without significant loss of viable organisms. To meet Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) obligations, formulations are manufactured with additional colony-forming units (CFUs) to ensure potency until the expiration date.

Spectrumceuticals® remains dedicated to producing high-quality, practitioner-only integrative medicines, combining scientific research with stringent manufacturing practices.
