About the Client

Probitec is an advanced prebiotic and probiotic supplement range developed by a South African pharmaceutical company. Designed to improve gut health, support immune function, and alleviate digestive issues, Probitec has quickly established itself as one of South Africa's most innovative gut health brands — available nationally at Clicks, Dis-Chem, and Wellness Warehouse.

The brand is built around a clear philosophy: smarter probiotics, delivered better. Every product in the range is formulated with clinically proven strains, backed by science, and engineered for real-world efficacy.

Our Role

Generation Health Solutions partnered with Probitec as the end-to-end production partner for the Probitec range — supplying the probiotic strains, providing the patented DuoCap™ dual-layer capsules, and handling the full manufacturing and packaging of the range.

Ingredients & Materials Supplied

Probiotic Strains Generation Health Solutions sourced and supplied the clinically validated probiotic strains used across the Probitec range, including Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14 for the flagship Pre + Probiotic product, and the multi-strain blends used in Probitec Gastro and Probitec IBS. Each strain was selected for its clinical evidence base, stability profile, and compatibility with the DuoCap™ delivery system.

DuoCap™ Dual-Layer Capsules At the heart of the Probitec range is the patented DuoCap™ capsule — a capsule-within-a-capsule technology that physically separates and protects live bacterial strains from harsh stomach acid, ensuring 100% dose delivery directly to the small and lower intestines. This marks a significant advancement over standard probiotic capsules, and Generation Health Solutions was instrumental in supplying this specialised delivery system — representing the first use of DuoCap™ technology for a probiotic product in South Africa.

The Range

Probitec Pre + Probiotic The flagship product featuring Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14, designed to restore and balance gut flora for everyday digestive and immune support.

Probitec Gastro A multi-strain formula containing 8 clinically proven strains, targeted at severe gut dysbiosis, IBS, and IBD.

Probitec IBS Formulated specifically for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, addressing symptoms including bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements.

Probitec Fibre+ A clinical-grade, low-FODMAP prebiotic powder containing Fibersol-2, L-Glutamine, and digestive enzymes — designed to strengthen the gut lining and reduce inflammation.

Key Product Features

  • DuoCap™ Technology: Patented dual-layer capsule ensuring full dose delivery past stomach acid to the intestines

  • Antibiotic-Friendly: Can be taken simultaneously with antibiotics without loss of efficacy

  • No Refrigeration Required: Nitrogen-flushed capsules for long shelf-life stability

  • Clinically Proven Strains: Each variant uses strains with an established evidence base

Manufacturing & Packaging

Generation Health Solutions managed the full production process for the Probitec range — from ingredient intake and blending, through encapsulation using the DuoCap™ system, to final packaging. The result is a retail-ready product range that meets the quality expectations of South Africa's leading pharmacy and health retail chains.

Why This Partnership Works

Bringing a product like Probitec to market requires more than good formulation — it demands a manufacturing partner with the technical capability to work with specialised delivery systems, live bacterial strains, and the precision required for pharmaceutical-grade gut health products. Generation Health Solutions delivered on all fronts, enabling Probitec to launch a first-of-its-kind probiotic range in the South African market.
