Health Canada confirms ROSELLA can maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome

Lallemand Health Solutions’ convenient orally administered probiotic shown to support women’s intimate health, L. plantarum ROSELLA[1], has gained new indications from Health Canada, recognizing its capacity to help support a healthy vaginal microbiome.

 More precisely the claims obtained are:

• Source of probiotics
• Helps support female or vaginal health
• Helps support a healthy vaginal microflora
• Maintains a healthy vaginal microbiome

“This unique probiotic strain, isolated from a healthy vaginal flora with full mechanistic and clinical evidence, is one of the most documented strains in the world in the women’s health area. It has been studied in over 800 women, in six clinical studies, including two by oral intake. Health Canada just confirmed the strain’s ability to support women’s intimate health while taken orally,” explained Solange Henoud, Global Regulatory Affairs Director at Lallemand Health Solutions. “Women will be enthusiastic to rely on such a natural solution with a convenient route of administration” she added. “On a separate note, it is important to notice how Canadian regulators are recognizing terms such as microbiome which at the end will also serve to enlighten consumers, through accurate labelling, on the most modern scientific language used in our field” she concluded.

Last year Lallemand Health Solutions acquired the right to license and commercialize Proge Farm®’s well established probiotic strain L. plantarum P17630 (Proge P17630®), which is  recognized for its specific women health benefits on a wide spectrum of benefits, from helping to maintain proper vaginal balance, to being used for recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (rVVC).

ROSELLA is available in various convenient dosage forms and handy packaging and can be specially formulated with other carefully selected ingredients for extra health claims relevant to this specific targeted population[2].
