Leucine Rich Bio expands its footprints to the Philippines

Leucine Rich Bio has announced its entry in the Philippines market with its microbiome testing kit called the BugSpeaks. This strategic move of the Indian microbiome company comes in partnership with Cognoa International Inc., a Philippines company specialising in probiotics and gut health.

“We are glad that BugSpeaks is now catering to our esteemed clients in the Philippines. In fact, BugSpeaks has been doing well in Thailand as well. We and our partners in both these countries are trying to democratize microbiome tests as much as possible. We are also looking to expand to other Asian countries soon. BugSpeaks is available in other countries and Leucine Rich Bio is actively seeking partnerships," said Debojyoti Dhar, Co-Founder and Director (Business Development and Innovation), Leucine Rich Bio, in a statement.

Katrina Go, COO, Cognoa International Inc., said, “Working with Leucine Rich Bio has been great. We are proud to distribute BugSpeaks in the Philippines. This unique test has given us good results and the doctors and clinics in the Philippines are excited to adopt this test.”


Recently, Leucine Rich Bio established a one-of-its-kind gut clinic in Bengaluru with an in-house laboratory where tests employing advanced technology such as next-generation sequencing are routinely done.
