Company Description:
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 United States, 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 1973-1979. He found that studies showed probiotics were 97% 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.

Corporate Mission:
The philosophy of UAS Laboratories is to be an innovative and technology-driven company dedicated to promoting healthy living by providing superior quality probiotics and other nutritional supplements. Because of its mission, the company conducts seminars and workshops for consumers and health food stores. UAS also conducts research, provides technical support, technical writing and consulting. The company provides private labeling and custom manufacturing, and exports its finished products and raw materials.
