Regulatory clearance paves the way for precision prebiotic’s introduction into one of Latin America’s largest supplement markets
NutriLeads BV today announced that Brazil’s Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) has evaluated its precision prebiotic ingredient Benicaros® SF Pure P for use in dietary supplements.
Under ANVISA’s positive opinion, Benicaros SF Pure P is permitted for inclusion in dietary supplements at dosages of up to 300 mg per day. This regulatory clearance confirms the safety and quality of the ingredient and enables NutriLeads and its distributor Kilyos Nutrition to introduce its clinically validated 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 Chief Executive Officer. “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 fiber 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 health. It also trains the innate immune system to respond faster, smarter and stronger, reducing sick days and symptom severity.
The ANVISA approval builds on Benicaros’ growing list of regulatory clearances worldwide, including Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America. Together, these authorizations underscore NutriLeads’ commitment to expanding access to scientifically validated, sustainable functional ingredients that deliver predictable, clinically proven benefits for gut and immune health.
