UAS: A Leader In Research-Based and Technology-Driven Probiotics

UAS Laboratories, a leading probiotic company, was founded by Dr. S. K. Dash in 1979. The company manufactures and markets probiotics with the super strain DDS-1 and antioxidants in the US, Canada and many other countries worldwide. UAS offers finished products, raw materials, private labeling and custom manufacturing.

Dr. Dash became interested in probiotics while working as director of the Food and Drug Administration for South Dakota from 1973 to 1979. He found that studies showed probiotics were 97 percent effective in treating E. coli infections in pigs, an efficacy rate equal to the antibiotics then being used. Building on this research, he started his own company and began to develop probiotics for human use. He also introduced quality control standards to the industry and became the chairman of the National Probiotics Products Committee because of his expertise in probiotics and concerns about honesty in labeling and quality control.
