León, Spain, 19^th February 2019 - Nutricion Center NC, a specialist in nutrition services for pharmacies, today announced entering into a strategic alliance with ADL Bionatur Solutions (MAB: ADL), a company specialized in research and development of healthcare products, services and industrial fermentation production. The partners plan to launch a new generation of products that help to control weight by addressing the gastrointestinal microbiome. The new product range "100% NC Microbiota", jointly developed by both companies, offers treatments with differing combinations of probiotics, as modulating agents, provided by ADL. The personalized combinations are adapted for the first time to each age range and particular function, for example: anti-obesity; diuretic; antioxidant; or satiating.

Pilar de la Huerta, CEO of ADL Bionatur Solutions, commented: "We are delighted to enter this strategic alliance with Nutricion Center NC, which is ADL's first step towards our goal of developing a proprietary pipeline of products aimed at the human microbiome. Entering the pharmacy channel in Spain brings us closer to the end-consumer. ADL is committed to its integrated health concept, in which personalized preventive medicine based on high value-added food supplements is increasingly important and promises great potential for future growth."

Antonio González, CEO of the Nutricion Center NC, added: "This alliance between Nutricion Center NC and ADL Bionatur Solutions is a strategic collaboration that will bring new treatments for the human intestinal microbiome to build positive effects on our general well-being. The supplements we offer are essential to optimize the effectiveness of treatments against obesity, while also, addressing the problems suffered by overweight people, providing extra benefits for each age group."

The human microbiome, refers to the set of microorganisms, composed mostly of bacteria, which live in the intestine, skin and mucous membranes of our body. The microbiome is crucial for helping to maintain an adequate functionality of the intestinal mucosa, which results in the healthy digestion of beneficial substances and less impact of substances with undesirable effects. It also plays a central role in diseases such as obesity, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and could have important implications for development of chronic diseases and response to treatments. Thus, a balanced microbiome is considered essential for the individual to respond to weight control measures.

The innovative 100% NC Microbiota products for weight control are divided into three lines for different age groups, each product line comprising products that act as abdominal fat burners, body fat burners, fat blockers, drains, antioxidant-drainers and appetite inhibitors, complemented with specific probiotic strains intended for balancing the gut microbiome.
