Lesaffre showcases products at CPhI China

SUPPLIER of health ingredients from yeast and bacteria fermentation for the global human care markets, Lesaffre Human Care will be presenting two of its probiotic¹ yeasts, ibSium® and Lynside® Pro SCB as well as probiotic bacterium LifeinU™ LRGG, at CPhI China, scheduled from 21-23 June at the SNIEC in Shanghai.

The products are clinically proven effective for digestive health and gastrointestinal well-being, and help to protect against the impact of unhealthy lifestyles and diets, stress, and aging on the human body.

In China, more than one-third of the population is concerned about digestive discomfort, the company said. But consumers are preferring substances with a proven track record of safety and efficacy. About 41 percent of Chinese consumers are very likely to take nutritional supplements to ease digestive problems if said supplements are proven to work².

To provide the food, beverage and nutrition industry with ingredients able to fulfill this consumer’s need for products with proof of efficacy, Lesaffre Human Care is continuously investing in producing strong scientific and clinical data to substantiate the benefits of its ingredients.

ibSium®

Backed by compelling results from several clinical and real-life trials, ibSium® is a breakthrough in gastro-intestinal pain management. It is an exclusive ingredient containing a unique and patented strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ibSium® could potentially help over 800 million people worldwide who are affected by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other painful digestive disorders, many of them unsatisfied with their current treatment. In fact, ibSium® has demonstrated a significant effect in improving abdominal pain and discomfort in individuals with IBS and is now available as a safe and fast-acting natural alternative to drugs used in intestinal pain and discomfort management.

Lynside® Pro SCB

Lynside® Pro SCB, the premier Boulardii from Lesaffre, is also a well-documented probiotic yeast with a clinically proven effect on the digestive health of the whole family³. It is a high quality and highly stable ingredient made of a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii. It is safe and reliable and has been used for decades by consumers worldwide in diarrhea management (e.g.: Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea, Travelers’ Diarrhea, etc.). Lesaffre Human Care is able to offer Lynside® Pro SCB in both food and API⁴ (pharma) grade versions. Backed by years of overwhelming consumer satisfaction, Lynside® Pro SCB is a safe and natural way to help people maintain or restore a balanced intestinal flora for enhanced gut comfort at all ages³.

Lesaffre Human Care also offers probiotic bacteria such as LifeinU™ LRGG, a reliable source of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. This specific strain of Lactobacillus has proven to be beneficial to digestive and immune health through research results reported in over 800 published papers.

The company can offer both food grade and baby food grade versions of LifeinU™ LRGG; ingredient which, not only protects the gut from acute diarrhea and prevents gastrointestinal infections, but also helps maintain a balanced gastrointestinal flora while boosting the body’s natural defenses to reduce occurrences of the common cold.
