Lallemand Bio-Ingredients has obtained a health claim for Gastro-AD® from Health Canada, recognizing its intestinal/gastrointestinal health benefit.
The new granted Canadian Health claim confirms previous research results that showed the supplement’s capability in soothing symptoms of occasional heartburn and acid reflux as well as maintaining the quality of life in people experiencing occasional heartburn symptoms.
Gastro-AD® is soy fermented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii and is entirely natural, containing no synthetic ingredients. Additionally, it has been studied in over 600 people suffering from gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, ulcers, and other gut complications.
The claim and NPN are supported by the results from a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial in adults experiencing heartburn. The effect of Gastro-AD®, a fermented soy supplement, was examined on heartburn, gastrointestinal symptoms, and heartburn-related quality of life indicators.
Lallemand recommends the supplement to be consumed in powder form, by teaspoon or sachet. It can be formulated with various sweeteners and flavors. “We are very pleased that Health Canada has formally recognized the scientifically proven benefits of Gastro-AD® for gastrointestinal health. Gastro-AD® is unique in the market, as a natural solution for gastric comfort providing real benefits and has actually been proven to work, which is why it has a health claim,” said Celia Martin, Regulatory Affairs Director for Lallemand Bio-Ingredients.
