Probi Female wins prestigious NutraIngredients Awards 2025 for innovation in women's health. Probi Female is the unique combination of our hero strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v and iron—developed to support women’s health by enhancing iron absorption, restoring iron levels, and reducing common side effects that come with conventional iron supplements.

Probi is proud to announce that Probi® Female has won the NutraIngredients Award 2025 in the category Innovation in Women’s Health. The award was presented live at Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona, celebrating scientific excellence and commercial impact in the global health and nutrition industry. “This recognition underscores both the strength of the product and the importance of science-driven innovation in women’s health. The response has been outstanding, and this award marks an important milestone in our ongoing international expansion.” says Martina Pettersson, Global Marketing Director at Probi. Probi Female is a unique direct-to-consumer product formulated specifically for women. It combines Probi’s proprietary strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v (LP299V®) with iron, folic acid, and vitamin C - designed to increase iron absorption, support iron levels, and reduce the common gastrointestinal side effects associated with traditional iron supplementation.The strength of this solution is rooted in science, according to Caroline Montelius, Department Manager Scientific Affairs at Probi:

“The LP299V strain is one of the most researched probiotic strains in the world, and its ability to enhance iron absorption has been demonstrated in multiple clinical trials. We are proud to see this achievement recognized on an international level.”

According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency remains a serious global health concern, particularly affecting women of reproductive age. WHO estimates that 30 percent of women aged 15–49 worldwide are anaemic, with even higher rates among pregnant women and young children.

Probi Female is available as a consumer product across the Nordics and is also offered as a functional ingredient to our global B2B partners.
