Bioactive Pharma Limited

Bioactive Pharma Ltd is the UK holding company for a group of 4 companies involved in the research, development, manufacture and distribution of a range of premium natural medicines, whole-plant extract and bioactive ingredient dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and a medical device. Our products are sold in 9 international markets across North America, Europe and Australasia under the Dr Sosnowski’s® and Herstat® brands. Naturally occurring complex bioactive substances found across a variety of what we regard as ‘Hero’ ingredients are central to our work and can be found in the majority of our incredible portfolio of products. Bee propolis, a resinous material produced by bees, exemplifies the complexity of these bioactive substances and its value in natural medicines. Composed of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and aromatic compounds, propolis has demonstrated antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties in both traditional use and modern scientific studies. Rather than isolating a single molecule, the broad-spectrum activity of propolis arises from the interplay of its diverse chemical components, aligning more closely with the intricate systems of human biology. Similarly, certain mushroom varieties have long been revered for their adaptogenic properties, which help regulate the body's stress response and support immune function. Unlike single-molecule drugs, these natural compounds work through a network of bioactive constituents, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and ergosterols, which act in harmony to modulate various physiological processes and they usually achieve this with fewer side effects than conventional drugs. Our primary technology is the extraction of phenolic compounds from crude propolis. We take a waste by-product of the honey industry and transform it into powerful, standardised pharmaceutical grade ingredients. Our incredible and dedicated team performs this work in our facility in Winnipeg, Canada.
