Indication instead of a health claim: Diapharm makes probiotic product market-ready

Pharmaceutical service provider Diapharm (www.diapharm.com) has developed a marketable probiotic medical device. The hard capsules with Lactobacillus johnsonii EU1 are used for the regeneration of the mucosal function of the small intestine, e.g. due to persistent non-specific diarrhoea or due to antibiotic-induced diarrhoea. The probiotic product is now available in Belgium under the brand of a large pharmaceutical company. Diapharm is currently searching for suitable licensing partners in other EU member states or is in negotiations regarding market introduction.

“The purely physical mode of action of Lactobacillus johnsonii EU1 is scientifically proven and has another advantage,” explains Dr Guido Middeler, Diapharm’s probiotic expert. “The medical device has a clear medical intended purpose for the prophylaxis and, chiefly, the treatment of symptoms – similar to medicinal products.” In addition, he states, it closes the gap created by negative EFSA assessments of the health claims of dietary supplements including probiotics: “With Lactobacillus johnsonii EU1 as a medical device, distributors can avoid this gap and round off their brand portfolio,” Dr Guido Middeler states confidently.
