Lallemand Bio-Ingredients has obtained a health claim for Gastro-AD® from Health Canada, recognizing its benefit for support of intestinal/ gastrointestinal health (NPN 80112011).
This newly granted Canadian health claim confirms previous research results which have shown Gastro-AD® to be capable of soothing symptoms of occasional heartburn and acid reflux and maintaining quality of life in people experiencing occasional heartburn symptoms.
Gastro-AD® is soy fermented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii, ssp. delbrueckii also known as Rosell-187 or R-187. It is entirely natural, containing no synthetic ingredients and has been studied in over 600 people suffering from gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, ulcers and other gut health complications.
The claim and NPN are supported by the results of a 2020 study (from Fatani et al. 2020): Fermented soy supplementation improves indicators of quality of life: 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 Gastro-AD® to be consumed in powder form, by the teaspoon or a sachet. It can be formulated with various flavours and sweeteners.
Celia Martin, Regulatory Affairs Director for Lallemand Bio-Ingredients, says “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.”
