After a two-year process, Probi has also had HEAL9™ approved, after HEAL19™ was approved in autumn 2022 by the Thai FDA. Both probiotic strains are included in Probi's concepts Probi[®] Osteo and Probi Defendum[®]. The plan is now to launch both concepts in the Thai market within the next 12 months.

Thailand is one of the largest markets for probiotics in the region and therefore a priority market to grow in APAC. Probi already has a small sale of Probi Digestis[®] in Thailand, but this provides opportunities to grow in more health areas.

"This is an important step for us and shows how we are systematically working to expand our sales in APAC. Thailand is still a fairly small market for us, but with more concepts, we create greater interest in our entire product portfolio and give us the conditions to grow in the entire region," says Karen Ong, Head of Asia-Pacific, Probi.
