OUR HISTORY
Located in Brittany near Lorient, Laboratoires Le Stum is a company founded by two brothers, Michel and Raymond Le Stum, in 1984.
1984, HEALTH THROUGH PLANTS: Plant'Tonic
In 1984, after completing their studies, the two brothers, following various encounters, decided to found their company focused on plant-based health. They identified this opportunity at a time when the craze for natural products was growing.
They have the intuition that it is necessary to democratize herbal capsules to a wide audience.
Following promising tests, they are launching a range of plant capsules in supermarkets and hypermarkets.
The Plant Tonic project “Health through Plants” was born.
A PROFITABLE ASSOCIATION RICH IN EXPERIENCE
These products quickly became a success and conquered this new market. The small company saw its range, innovative for the time, quickly become available in several national brands. Competition soon emerged, and the company decided to stand out by creating quality specialties.
In 1989, when the business had reached a certain maturity, the two brothers decided to approach a distributor in order to continue its development and distribution.
A RESILIENT FAMILY BUSINESS
One day, the opportunity arose to take an interest in silica and promote this fascinating element that was then referred to as "the forgotten mineral."
This nutrient, more technical than others in the past, requires presentation to healthcare professionals, who immediately welcome it with interest. So, goodbye to other forms of distribution.
IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS SILICA: THE BIRTH OF TRICATIONE
Silica, this precious mineral, has a beneficial effect on the body, having both functional and structural effects. It is credited with key properties in bone health, cartilage, and strengthening the appendages (nails, hair, skin).
Thus was born Tricatione .
With this supplement, a new path is emerging: "offering the best possible natural specialties by relying on health professionals."
Little by little, a second product was born in 1994 and so on... (34 to date). Since 1995, the Laboratories' aim has been to fully control the design and then the manufacturing chain of its food supplements to guarantee their quality on the one hand and to be sure of obtaining the best reproducibility of the specialties on the other hand.
THE SPECIFICITY OF OUR SPECIALTIES
Le Stum Laboratories are concerned with under-met health needs and strive to provide an effective response, using innovative solutions from the plant and marine world.
This involves specific extraction processes or synergies between carefully chosen natural active ingredients.
The ingredients are selected for their ability to be optimally assimilated by the body (the famous bioavailability) and without adverse effects.
This is how supplements are born, sometimes patented and/or often benefiting from know-how specific to Laboratoires Le Stum, which makes them unique.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES
Le Stum Laboratories understood early on the importance of conducting scientific and clinical studies to measure the safety and efficacy of their products. To date, dozens of studies have been conducted with the support of healthcare practitioners and specialized research centers, both public and private.
The Laboratories' constant concern is to provide customers with the most effective food supplements possible.
TODAY
The Laboratoires le Stum team relies on an experienced and competent team which works in symbiosis to meet an ever-increasing demand for quality food supplements.
The team members share the same values: a sense of service, availability, and the fact that the Laboratory designs products as if they were intended primarily for loved ones.
The Laboratories' stated goal is to bring the best of nature to the table, with the constant challenge of making substances of interest assimilable to the body. Each new specialty is thus developed with patience and meticulousness, after a long maturation process.
Our unchanging principle: Take care of those we love!
Raymond Le Stum.
