27 Jan 2010 --- Institut Rosell-Lallemand is proud to announce that Probio’Stick, the on-the-go probiotic formula that is clinically proven to reduce gastro-intestinal symptoms in chronic stress, has been launched in Portugal by Prisfar (part of the Omega Pharma group) under the brand name ProbioPax, while our partner Baltex Natural AB is launching the probiotic in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark under the brand name Lactistress. Formulated as an easy-to-use sachet, Probio’Stick is an effective and natural solution recommended for active people who suffer a great deal of stress.

Probio’Stick is an innovative probiotic formulation that combines a patented micro-encapsulation technology — Probiocap — with a blend of two well-documented probiotic strains. Packaged in single-dose sticks of flavored powder that dissolves quickly in the mouth, Probio’Stick can be taken anywhere without water and at any time of the day, even between meals when gastric pH is at its lowest. Probio’Stick is the first probiotic solution that has been shown to significantly reduce stress-induced gastrointestinal symptoms in a double-blind, placebo controlled randomized trial on healthy volunteers subject to chronic stress (Diop et al. 2008). More recently, a break-through scientific study publication (Girard et al., June 2009) demonstrated a clear role for Probio’Stick  in the brain-gut axis, or brain gut communication using an animal model of post-myocardial infarction depression. Last but not least, a consumer survey has shown a high level of acceptance for the product’s taste and flavor. This supports why Probio’Stick is an effective solution able to meet the needs of active, stressed people.

Developed and manufactured by Institut Rosell-Lallemand, Probio’Stick has been available on the market since 2005, first in Canada, followed by Asia, and Europe. Today, Probio’Stick is distributed in China, Canada, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark by our trusted healthcare and pharmaceutical partners.
