In an exciting move, Reuterina has unveiled a modernised packaging design that will be used across all of Reuterina®’s full range of products for all ages: Reuterina® drops¹, Reuterina® Vit D², Reuterina® junior³, Reuterina® daily⁴, Reuterina® acute⁵, and Reuterina® femme⁶.

The packaging refresh features a new endorsement, the introduction of fun mascot characters, and a probiotic species rename.

The endorsement, ‘POWERED BY BIOGAIA,’ serves to acknowledge BioGaia as the company responsible for the research and development of the Reuterina® formulations⁷, accompanied by a graphic representing the healthy growth and proliferation of intestinal flora.

Child and baby products now carry friendly yellow mascot characters that bring to life the ‘good bacteria’ that a healthy young gut needs⁷.

In addition to the package redesign, Lactobacillus reuteri, the probiotic species of Reuterina®, was renamed Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The name change was undertaken by a global group of scientists who have collaborated to divide this genus into groups of closely related species – which share certain physiological and metabolic properties – under new genus names.⁸

The Reuterina® product line’s efficacy and safety remain unchanged.  Over 200 clinical trials have been conducted to validate Reuterina®.⁹
