Part of the BeGrape range, Biombalance is Groupe Berkem’s grape seed extract developed for the nutraceutical market from carefully selected grapes harvested in the Champagne region (France).
Groupe Berkem is a pioneer in polyphenols and the Group’s R&D department constantly invests in research and proprietary preclinical and human trials to get the most out of OPCs, exploring their sought-after benefits on human health.
Recent scientific studies have shown amazing results: rapid and lasting digestive comfort was experienced when Biombalance was taken as a supplement, making it the first and only grape seed extract with proven efficacy in promoting gut health and quality of life.
“With 72% of volunteers stating they didn’t have to change their diet to avoid discomfort any longer, Biombalance supplementation makes a difference to people’s quality of life."
"It’s an important breakthrough for the nutraceutical market,” stated Dr Amandine Brochot, Groupe Berkem Scientific Manager for the Health, Beauty & Nutrition Business area.
Following previous prebiotic results published in Antioxidants, outstanding benefits from two recent human trials are now revealed (human pilot study and human study versus a placebo) demonstrating the following.
Proven efficacy after 2 months
- In a pilot study, more than 9 out of 10 participants agreed that Biombalance was effective in the management of gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort.
- In human study versus a placebo, nearly 8 out of 10 consumers experienced significant relief from occasional digestive upsets such as gas and abdominal bloating.
Rapid results
- Noticeable improvements in digestive comfort and quality of life were reported as early as 2 weeks of supplementation, with 500 mg daily intake for 2 months. Three out of four consumers were satisfied with its speed of action after only 4 weeks.
Promotion of digestive comfort
- 61% of consumers experienced less belly discomfort, including cramps, distension and bloating.
- 77% of consumers reported improved digestive well-being with a noticeable reduction of digestive discomfort.
Biombalance helps to ease GI discomfort for those who experience it the most: 84% of consumers with more frequent digestive issues reported improvement in their digestive well-being.
Support in Quality of Life
Most users reported improved mood, energy, and daily well-being, with digestive issues having less of an impact on their lifestyle, diet, and relationships.
High satisfaction and recommendation
As a result, more than 80% of consumers (up to 98% in the pilot study) declared being satisfied with Biombalance and convinced of its efficacy, with strong purchase intent (74%) and willingness to recommend to others (77%).
In conclusion, Biombalance stands out in digestive health-promoting ingredients and brings true innovation to brands in the nutraceutical market worldwide.
