How CEVENTRIX™ works​

Propionate is naturally produced by the bacteria in our gut and critically important for regulating and controlling our immune system, and is often referred to as a “post-biotic”. MS is an immunological disease in which propionate levels are typically reduced, caused by disturbances in the gut bacteria. Evidence shows that this deficiency may contribute to disease progression.

CEVENTRIX™ is given to increase propionate levels in the gut towards more healthy levels. A recent human study demonstrates that propionate correction can help manage the disease*. CEVENTRIX™ restores a deficiency of propionic acid and may improve abnormal immune activity in people with multiple sclerosis.

CEVENTRIX™ is the first product of its kind

CEVENTRIX™ is to our knowledge the first Food for Special Medical Purposes developed specifically for people with MS. Use of propionate is clinically documented and has been widely studied by various research groups.

How you may benefit from using CEVENTRIX™

CEVENTRIX™ contains the propionate your body needs

CEVENTRIX™ provides the body with propionate that can help your body promote a healthy immune system, which in turn affects the control of your disease and help you get the most out of your MS therapy.

CEVENTRIX™ can start working within 2 weeks

There is currently no cure for MS and the disease requires long term care. CEVENTRIX™ gets to work right away, and changes to your immune system may be seen after two weeks. CEVENTRIX™ can give changes in your immune system after only two weeks.

More about propionate

Where can I find propionate

Propionate is naturally produced by our gut bacteria from processing of certain fibres. This is the natural form of most of the propionate in humans. Propionate can also be found in some dairy products and a small amount may be added to meat, cheese, and bread products to keep them fresh.

Is propionate safe?

Propionate is considered as safe to use as a food additive by both the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and by the US FDA. In a clinical trial with people with MS, no serious adverse events were reported with 3 years of use.

CEVENTRIX™ is produced in Norway under the quality control standard referred to as “HACCP”.
