Health Solutions welcomes the launch of IPA Europe’s “Probiotic Value Insights” platform
Blagnac, June 30, 2026 – Lallemand Health Solutions welcomes the launch of Probiotic Value Insights, a new digital platform developed by IPA Europe to consolidate scientific evidence, socio-economic data, policy insights, and educational resources on probiotics.
This initiative marks an important step forward in broadening the understanding of probiotics, moving beyond individual product benefits to highlight their broader societal and economic value. The platform explores how probiotics can contribute to key public health priorities, including healthcare sustainability, health management, quality of life, and economic productivity.
At the core of the platform is a Socio-Economic Impact Assessment on probiotics in Europe, conducted using Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and European Union (EU) Better Regulation methodologies. The analysis indicates that even a modest 1% increase in probiotic use across key health areas could generate at least €10 billion annually in socio-economic benefits across Europe.
The platform also compiles evidence across multiple health domains, including:
- Gut health and antibiotic-associated outcomes
- Respiratory health
- Lactose digestion
- Women’s reproductive health
- Bowel function
- Oral health
- Mental well-being
“Probiotic Value Insights provides a valuable resource to support informed decision-making across healthcare, policy, and industry,” said Solange Henoud, Vice President, Regulatory and Compliance at Lallemand Health Solutions and IPA Europe Board Member. “It reinforces the growing body of evidence demonstrating the role probiotics can play in supporting both human health and sustainable healthcare systems,” she added.
“The Socio-Economic Impact Assessment was conducted through a highly thorough, systematic, and comprehensive process, providing an unparalleled and well-documented overview of the benefits of probiotics on public health and health economics,” reiterated
Audrey Bru, Regional Regulatory Director at Lallemand Health Solutions and active member of the Steering and Regulatory Committees at IPA Europe.
To conclude, Solange Henoud added: “We value the role our trade associations play in driving evidence-based policymaking, raising stakeholder awareness, and supporting the development of a robust, coherent, and fit-for-purpose regulatory framework.”
Lallemand Health Solutions congratulates IPA Europe on this important initiative and remains committed to advancing science-based probiotic solutions that deliver measurable health and societal impact.
