Atlantia is an independent contract research organization founded in 2012, branching from the University College Cork, Ireland's renowned APC Microbiome. We are Ireland’s only Food Clinical Trial company, working with some of the World’s leading food companies. Recently, we have expanded to our new office base in Chicago to work more closely with our American companies and populations. Our clients
or "Sponsors" are international food and beverage companies who seek to promote a health claim on their product. Scientific validation is required to ethically promote or claim health and lifestyle benefits of these products. Although we do not conduct trials using pharmaceutical products, we operate with ICH-GCP (International Council for Harmonization–Good Clinical Practice), EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), FDA, and IRB – providing the same level of safety and trial conduct expected for pharmaceutical drug trials. Our trials focus on functional food and supplements to provide evidence for health claims in primarily healthy populations, as well as pre-disease populations like pre-diabetes and populations with conditions such as COPD, cholesterol, obesity, and sarcopenia. The trials involve various areas of health including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, immunology, metabolism, and more.
