NutriLeads has announced that its precision prebiotic ingredient Benicaros SF Pure P has been approved for use in dietary supplements by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA).
Benicaros SF Pure P is now permitted for inclusion in dietary supplements at dosages of up to 300 mg per day.
The positive opinion confirms the safety and quality of the ingredient and enables NutriLeads to introduce the precision prebiotic into Brazil's rapidly expanding dietary supplement market.
"We're thrilled to receive ANVISA's approval, which marks another important milestone in our global expansion," said Jan Jongsma, NutriLeads CEO.
Brazil represents a key strategic market in Latin America, where demand is growing rapidly for clinically supported, upcycled and sustainable ingredients that deliver real health benefits.
Benicaros is a precision prebiotic fibre derived from upcycled carrot pomace.
Its active component, rhamnogalacturonan-I (cRG-I), selectively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria across diverse microbiome profiles, leading to predictable increases in short-chain fatty acid production and proven benefits for gut and immune health.
The ANVISA approval builds on Benicaros’ growing list of regulatory clearances worldwide, including Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America.
Together, NutriLeads says, the authorisations underscore its commitment to expanding access to scientifically validated, sustainable functional ingredients that deliver "predictable, clinically proven benefits for gut and immune health."
