A healthy partnership: Laava’s strength is Biogency’s protection
Laava® is about to enter the third year of its commercial partnership with Australian premium nutraceutical manufacturer and exporter, Biogency Pty Ltd, with Laava Smart Fingerprints® featuring on six products in the Biogency range. The partnership began as a way to help protect this premium brand and patented product formulations from copycats and fakes.

Thanks to Laava’s technology, Biogency was able to shut down the counterfeit attempts and quickly warn consumers that their product may not be authentic.
