MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN) is pleased to announce that it has executed an exclusive distribution agreement for PROIBS® in the United States with Calmino group AB. Immuron launched PROIBS® in Australia during FY26.
The overall U.S. digestive/gut health supplement market is valued at $4.16 billion (Mordor Intelligence). Immuron is targeting a subset of this market with PROIBS®. PROIBS® is a medical device used for abdominal pain, bloating and unsettled bowel movements (diarrhoea and/or constipation). PROIBS® contains AVH200®, derived from the plant, Aloe barbadensis Mill. AVH200® has gel forming components which support the intestinal mucosal barrier. PROIBS® is suitable for long-term use, with an excellent safety profile and no interactions with other medications known. Science-driven innovative Calmino group AB, the developer of PROIBS®, conducted a usability study among 1,003 users. PROIBS® was helpful for 94% of them. 91% of the users experienced an improvement in daily life and 98% would recommend PROIBS® to someone else.
Flavio Palumbo, Chief Commercial Officer said "Following the rapid growth of Travelan® sales in the US, we have developed a commercial growth strategy to bring a portfolio of innovative digestive health products to market. PROIBS® is a great opportunity to further expand our digestive health portfolio by providing our customers with a proven premium product that delivers improvement in daily life. With PROIBS®, we are able to provide an innovative and European certified medical device. The product has been on the Swedish pharmacy market for more than a decade. Because it is backed by science and recommended by physicians and dietitians, we can promote PROIBS® with absolute confidence. We are looking forward to offering a solution that truly improves the livability of the affected people."
