Valbiotis to launch Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health (Totum•63) for the prevention of metabolic diseases
on the French market in February-March 2025
La Rochelle, November 6, 2024 (5:40 PM CEST) – Valbiotis (FR0013254851 – ALVAL, PEA/SME eligible), a French scientific research laboratory specializing in the development and marketing of dietary supplements to prevent and combat the metabolic disorders that cause cardiovascular disease, clarifies the timeframe for and shares details about the launch of Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health in France, which will take place in February-March, in line with the previously announced schedule (launch in H1 2025).
Based on the patented active substance TOTUM•63, Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health is an innovative dietary supplement that provides a natural, non-drug, scientifically tested, plant-based response to moderate dysglycemia, weight management and balancing altered metabolic syndrome parameters.
It addresses a key public health issue: the increase in metabolic diseases, in particular type 2 diabetes. In France, there are 4 million people living with diabetes, and 2 to 3 million more are prediabetic[1]. The majority of these cases involve type 2 diabetes, often linked to age, obesity and lifestyle, and for which prevention plays a predominant role.
A clinically tested substance validated by the scientific community
Backed by over 10 years of research and development, Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health offers a clinically tested, multi-targeted, preventive solution for moderate dysglycemia and balancing altered metabolic syndrome parameters. This dietary supplement is based on TOTUM•63, a 100% plant-based active ingredient patented in 58 countries, clinically tested on 720 people (4 studies), and validated by the scientific community with 17 presentations at international congresses and 7 publications in international scientific journals.
At the end of 2023, TOTUM•63's full clinical pathway was completed by the Phase II/III REVERSE-IT study, which confirmed its efficacy in reducing fasting blood glucose levels, the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
An industrial and commercial strategy aligned with that of Valbiotis®PRO Cholesterol
The launch of Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health will benefit from the positive experience of Valbiotis®PRO Cholesterol, on the market in France since May 2024. Its production will also be handled by a French pharmaceutical manufacturer, whose industrial processes have already been validated. Upstream, strategic stocks of plant raw materials have been built up to secure the launch of Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health.
This launch will also be covered by the strategy deployed around Valbiotis®PRO Cholesterol, in terms of sales and marketing. The in-house sales force of 16 Medical Promotion Officers (MPOs) will promote both products jointly during 50/50 visits to the two target prescriber groups in high-potential areas:
- General practitioners, who will be able to recommend Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health (sold behind the pharmacy counter)
- Pharmacists, who will be trained in recommending the product and advising patients (over the counter)
In pharmacies, supplied directly by Valbiotis or by wholesalers/distributors, Valbiotis®PRO Metabolic Health will be available in pillboxes at the recommended retail prices of €22.95 for 90 gel capsules and €39.95 for 180 gel capsules. The dietary supplement will also be available in doypacks on the e-commerce site https://www.valbiotis-healthcare.com/.
Confirmation of the commercial roadmap
This second commercial launch in France will be followed by that of TOTUM•854 (blood pressure) in 2025, itself followed by the launch of Valbiotis' fourth dietary supplement, TOTUM•448 (hepatic steatosis).
