BLIS PROBIOTICS was an established local brand in New Zealand when it joined the iNova portfolio in 2018, through a long-term exclusive license and distribution arrangement with BLIS Technologies.

BLIS PROBIOTICS is the world’s first market-approved targeted throat probiotic, discovered by Australian Professor, John Tagg, and further developed and commercialised by BLIS Technologies in New Zealand. BLIS Technologies shares iNova’s core values of innovation, expertise and desire to improve the health and wellbeing of our customers. The ongoing partnership between iNova Pharmaceuticals and BLIS Technologies leverages the strengths and expertise of both parties.

The BLIS PROBIOTICS Australian launch in 2019 – dubbed the most exciting product launch in the probiotic category for the year – was fast tracked by a full year and was executed within 6 months.

Supported by a dedicated iNova team, the launch incorporated a comprehensive marketing program including Australian packaging design, in-store promotion, television commercial, display advertisements, targeted online videos, advertorials and influencer partnerships to drive consumer awareness and trial during the launch period. To build professional awareness and recommendation, iNova also rolled out an education program targeting Pharmacists and Pharmacy Assistants nationally

As a result of iNova’s strong relationships with major Australian Pharmaceutical banner groups, the brand reached over 2,363 stores within the first [6] months after launch.

With unique value proposition, success and loyalty in its home market and potential for geographic expansion, BLIS PROBIOTICS is exactly the kind of brand we look to own or distribute at iNova Pharmaceuticals.

Our door is always open to prospective vendors and business partners here at iNova Pharmaceuticals!

Founded in South Africa in 2007, the Creche Guard product range was acquired by iNova Pharmaceuticals from Kenza Health in January 2018.

Under the ownership of iNova Pharmaceuticals, Creche Guard has firmly established itself as South Africa’s #1 Children’s Multivitamin.

Creche Guard has flourished under the dynamic team at iNova South Africa. iNova’s wide market reach and distribution, and increased resources and investment in advertising and promotion, has seen the product grow at double digit rates during the first 18 months of ownership. In 2018, Creche Guard’s market share grew to 23.9% (2.1% above its closest competitor). Year-to-date, in 2019, Creche Guard has achieved a market share of 34.9% (15.1% above nearest competitor).

Flexing iNova’s creative and innovative edge, Creche Guards highly engaging Guarder Facebook campaign, vibrant Dis-Chem Back-To-School Promo and playfully colourful AlphaPharm display drive are each playing pivotal roles in iNova’s acquisition and repositioning of Creche Guard.

Creche Guard is exactly the kind of brand we look to own or distribute at iNova Pharmaceuticals – a high-quality and efficacious Consumer Health product, with a small but established reputation amongst consumers and healthcare professionals, in markets that we are familiar with, with great branding and the potential to grow.

Our door is always open to prospective vendors and business partners here at iNova Pharmaceuticals!
