Probi Sensia to Be Launched by Probi at SupplySide West in October 2023. Probi Sensia is a new probiotic concept by Probi based on clinical and scientific data that supports improved cognition by boosting learning and working memory as well as improved mood and sleep. These cognitive functions are important in enhancing people's overall mental health.

The new probiotic solution will be available to meet diverse consumer needs, supported by global health-related claims and customizable with local support. Furthermore, it can be combined with selected vitamins, minerals or other ingredients, and is ideal for dietary supplement formats like capsules, stick packs and functional foods such as beverages and powder products. Probi Sensia is based on the well-documented probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HEAL9 (HEAL9).

Three clinical studies and totally five scientific articles have repeatably showed that intake of HEAL9 affects the so-called gut-brain axis in a positive way. The clinical endpoints include decreased cortisol and stress-induced inflammation in chronically stressed but otherwise healthy students, as well as decreased symptoms of depression and anxiety. In the latest publication healthy individuals with moderate stress were evaluated.

Improved memory and cognitive function, improved sleep quality and decreased daytime dysfunction, as well as improved mood was found after intake of the HEAL9 strain.
